Abstract

Het koorboek B-Br 215-16 maakt deel uit van een verzameling van meer dan zestig weelderig verluchte manuscripten en fragmenten met 16de-eeuwse religieuze en profane muziek uit de Lage Landen die bekend staan als de Alamirehandschriften. Dit handschrift is uniek in de collectie omdat de muziek op een centraal thema focust: de Zeven Smarten van de Maagd Maria. De verering van Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Zeven Smarten was erg populair aan het begin van de 16de eeuw in alle lagen van de bevolking, van arbeiders tot de adel. Dit manuscript getuigt met zijn polyfone en gregoriaanse gezangen van het belang van deze devotie voor het Bourgondisch-Habsburgse hof. Zoals alle publicaties in de reeks Leuven Library of Music in Facsimile is het Koorboek voor de 7 Smarten volledig in kleur en op het originele formaat uitgebracht, voorzien van uitvoerig commentaar. Deze Studie is van de hand van Emily Thelen, een musicologe gespecialiseerd in 15de- en 16de-eeuwse muziek uit de Lage Landen. Brussels, Royal Library of Belgium Ms. 215-16 is a choirbook belonging to the Alamire corpus, a group of richly illuminated manuscripts preserving sixteenth-century sacred and secular music from the Low Countries. This manuscript is unique among the collection because all of its music celebrates a central theme: the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin. Devotion to the Virgin’s Sorrows was immensely popular in the early sixteenth century among all levels of society – from labourer to nobility. As an artifact of this widespread movement, this exceptional choirbook not only commemorates the devotion through both polyphony and plainchant but also reveals its importance for the Burgundian- Habsburg court. The present facsimile with commentary is the second volume of the Leuven Library of Music in Facsimile, under the general editorship of David J. Burn and Bart Demuyt. The series presents high-quality reproductions of primary music sources of outstanding aesthetic, historical, and cultural value. Each facsimile is in full colour, at original size, and accompanied by an extended commentary, written by a leading expert. Emily Thelen is a musicologist specialising in music of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries from the Low Countries.

Abstract

This volume gathers a dozen essays by the author on the ancient traditions of Mary's Dormition and Assumption, all of which expand on the work published in his major study on this topic, 'The Ancient Traditions of Mary's Dormition and Assumption' (Oxford, 2002). The essays were originally published between 1999 and 2011 and cover a broad range of topics in relation to traditions about the end of Mary's life, from ancient gnostic Christianity to Christian anti-Judaism to the beginnings of Marian veneration. Although each of these items was previously published in another venue, for the first time this volume makes these writings on the Virgin's Dormition available together, offering an important supplement and in some cases update of the earlier monograph. While its chapters remain largely faithful to the original publications in their content, when appropriate, they have been selectively updated to account for more recent research.

Abstract

The library of the Carmelite Convent at Piasek in Cracow is a unique treasure. It has survived in its basic shape from the 15th century, and almost entirely from the end of the 16th century. During the upheavals that befell the monastery throughout over 600 years of its existence (it was founded in 1397) its library would be moved to other places and hidden. The decoration scheme surviving in the library from the 17th century is a reflection of the special importance held by the book collection in the Cracow convent. The Library of the Carmelite Monastery at Piasek in Cracow is the first monograph study on the library of the Cracow Carmelites at Piasek. It presents the first 400 years of its existence starting from its inception late in the 14th century, through its development in the course of the 15th and 16th centuries, to its flowering during the 17th and 18th centuries. The study deals with fundamental issues, such as the organization of the library, the Carmelite provisions regulating library issues, as well as reconstructs the contents of its book holdings over successive periods. Surviving manuscripts, including liturgical ones, are discussed. The Carmelite approach to the idea and the institution of a monastery library is traced throughout the ages, while the history of the book collection is linked both with specific events and developments within the monastery itself and with individuals who had the care and use of the library.

Abstract

In Virgin Whore, Emma Maggie Solberg uncovers a surprisingly prevalent theme in late English medieval literature and culture: the celebration of the Virgin Mary's sexuality. Although history is narrated as a progressive loss of innocence, the Madonna has grown purer with each passing century. Looking to a period before the idea of her purity and virginity had ossified, Solberg uncovers depictions and interpretations of Mary, discernible in jokes and insults, icons and rituals, prayers and revelations, allegories and typologies-and in late medieval vernacular biblical drama.More unmistakable than any cultural artifact from late medieval England, these biblical plays do not exclusively interpret Mary and her virginity as fragile. In a collection of plays known as the N-Town manuscript, Mary is represented not only as virgin and mother but as virgin and promiscuous adulteress, dallying with the Trinity, the archangel Gabriel, and mortals in kaleidoscopic erotic combinations. Mary's "virginity" signifies invulnerability rather than fragility, redemption rather than renunciation, and merciful license rather than ascetic discipline. Taking the ancient slander that Mary conceived Jesus in sin as cause for joyful laughter, the N-Town plays make a virtue of those accusations: through bawdy yet divine comedy, she redeems and exalts the crime.By revealing the presence of this promiscuous Virgin in early English drama and late medieval literature and culture-in dirty jokes told by Boccaccio and Chaucer, Malory's Arthurian romances, and the double entendres of the allegorical Mystic Hunt of the Unicorn-Solberg provides a new understanding of Marian traditions.

Abstract

In Late Antique Images of the Virgin Annunciate Spinning: allotting the scarlet and the purple , Catherine Gines Taylor traces the way early Christians assimilated the symbolism of spinning into images of the Annunciation. Taylor offers an art historical and interdisciplinary look at the earliest images of Mary spinning, underscoring the iconographic model of idealized matronage consistent with lay piety and the cult of Mary. The personal and domestic nature of this motif is evidence toward popular Mariological devotion that preceded the exclusive, semi-divine presentation of the Theotokos , and stands in contrast with traditional ascetic models for Mary.

Abstract

La Conception de Marie était célébrée en Normandie le 8 décembre depuis le Moyen Âge, en dépit d'âpres discussions théologiques qui trouvèrent leur terme au xixe siècle. La dévotion induisit, aux xve et xvie siècles, une remarquable efflorescence artistique : concours de poésie lors de la « Feste du Puy » des palinods à Rouen, vitraux chatoyants et sculptures, images d'une piété mariale renouvelée au xixe siècle, exaltant la beauté de Marie pour manifester son Immaculée Conception. Les auteurs, historiens et spécialistes de la littérature et des arts, analysent textes et images, invitant, pour comprendre la « Fête aux Normands », à se tourner vers l'Orient byzantin et l'Angleterre, vers le Puy d'Amiens et la « Fête des Lumières » à Lyon. Pluralité de regards pour découvrir et décrypter des pratiques sociales et religieuses dans la longue durée.

Abstract

Das sogenannte Lukasbild des Freisinger Diözesanmuseums gehört zu den kostbarsten byzantinischen Kunstwerken in Bayern. Zahlreiche Wissenschaftler aus unterschiedlichen historischen und kunsttechnologischen Spezialgebieten haben sich mit ihrer Entstehung, Veränderung und abenteuerlichen Geschichte beschäftigt. Beiträge eines internationalen Symposiums mit Spezialisten aus Geschichte und Kunstgeschichte, Theologie und Byzantinistik rekonstruieren die mit der Ikone verknüpften Ambitionen. Sie widmen sich u.a. dem Phänomen der Ikone und ihrer wundersamen Entstehung, der Aussagekraft einer Bildreliquie als Kultbild sowie der Frage nach ihrer Einbettung in westliche Repräsentationsformen. In einem internationalen Projekt wurden die Ikone und ihr mit Emailarbeiten kostbar geschmückter Silberbeschlag mit neuesten kunsttechnologischen Methoden untersucht.
