The history of the Italian lauda is a fascinating journey through four centuries of history: from the Middle Ages to the dawn of modernity. La lauda, ovvero la poesia religiosa in volgare, soprattutto nella forma del canto collettivo di lode, di confessione e di supplica, è un genere letterario-musicale di sfuggente classificazione. L’interpretazione che la vuole sempre arte popolare, priva di eloquenza formale, è contraddetta da numerosi esempi di laude d’autore, da Guittone a Iacopone, da Bianco da Siena a Feo Belcari, da Leonardo Giustinian a Lorenzo de’ Medici, di profonda raffinatezza intellettuale. Dopo la nascita in Italia centrale e settentrionale nel xiii secolo, nel quadro dei moti popolari penitenziali e alleluiatici e dell’espansione degli ordini mendicanti, la lauda non smette di accompagnare la storia della civiltà italiana, generando una tradizione ininterrotta che interseca, nella molteplicità delle sue forme, la storie della letteratura, della musica e della spiritualità. Laude liriche e laude drammatiche, di corte e di piazza, meditative e pubbliche: la lauda si riveste d’abiti sempre nuovi, assecondando lo spirito mutevole dei tempi, capace d’intercettarne i gusti e le aspirazioni senza tradire la propria identità. Questo studio riannoda i fili della straordinaria storia della lauda, per apprezzarne la natura multimediale e proteiforme e la capacità dare voce anche a culture “di margine”, dalla spiritualità dei laici a quella delle donne, costituendo una delle più significative eredità consegnate dalla cultura medievale all’età moderna.

This international and interdisciplinary collection discusses a wide range of aspects relating to the material and devotional culture of the Dominican Order across medieval Europe. The Order of Preachers has famously bred some of the leading intellectual lights of the Middle Ages. While Dominican achievements in theology, philosophy, languages, law, and sciences have attracted much scholarly interest, their significant engagement with liturgy, the visual arts, and music remains relatively unexplored. These aspects and their manifold interconnections form the focal point of this interdisciplinary volume. The different chapters examine how early Dominicans positioned themselves and interacted with their local communities, where they drew their influences from, and what impact the new Order had on various aspects of medieval life. The contributors to this volume address issues as diverse as the making and illustrating of books, services for a king, the disposition of liturgical space, the creation of new liturgies, and a Dominican-made music treatise. In doing so, they seek to shed light on the actions and interactions of medieval Dominicans in the first centuries of the Order’s existence.

This book revolves around some of the most important relics of Christendom — chief among them the Crown of Thorns — and the ways in which they became, effectively, personal objects of devotion, notwithstanding their ostensibly universal appeal. It was France that laid claim to the Passion and other relics in the middle of the thirteenth century in a campaign that involved the construction of a new magnificent chapel — the Sainte-Chapelle — designed specifically to display the relics, and the composition of new liturgies to celebrate and focus attention on them. As inert objects, relics could not accomplish much without being ‘activated’ one way or the other, whether in prose, poetry, paintings, statues, or in music. It is these modes of activation that endowed the substance of relics with identity and meaning that made them so powerful and effective. The liturgies studied in this book were some of the most critical mechanisms of activation; they enabled the power of the Sainte-Chapelle relics, articulated the nature of that power, and proclaimed it far and wide. Nowhere is this more evident than in the sequences memorializing these relics, which were chiefly cultivated and championed at the Sainte-Chapelle. This book examines these sequences, and the ways in which they give prominence to the underlying agenda of the French monarchy by promoting and naturalizing the notion of sacral kingship, rooted in biblical kingship.

Rituals, although seemingly traditional and fixed, a re v ery m uch contextualand subject to change. Rituals do not exist and are not performed in a vacuum,and are not independent of time and place. They are deeply influenced by thecultural, social, economic, and political contexts in which they appear. Trendsin culture also lead to ritual trends. Therefore, rituals are a dynamic field, whichis reflected in this Special Issue of Religions regarding "Exploring RitualFields Today".
