Abstract

The studies in this volume concentrate on a complex set of socio-cultural phenomena, the cult of saints, in a variety of regions from Egypt to Poland, with a focus on Italy and Central Europe. The subjects of the contributions range in time from the fourth until the eighteenth century. The diversity of approaches adopted by the contributors—from literary analysis and historical anthropology to archaeology and art history—represents that open and multidisciplinary historical research that characterizes the work of Gábor Klaniczay to whom these essays are dedicated.

Abstract

St. Elizabeth of Hungary (1207-1231) is widely regarded as one of the most important saints of the Middle Ages, and from the nineteenth century onwards hundreds of books and articles have been written about her. Yet in contrast to her life, the history of her cult remains relatively unexplored. Such neglect is especially noticeable in the study of the sermons written in her honour in medieval Europe, despite the fact that sermons are among the best preserved kinds of source material and their impact is comparable to images alone. This book aims, in the first place, at assessing the role of preaching as a contemporary mass medium in promoting and sustaining the cult. In doing so it analyses 103 Latin sermons composed for the feast of St. Elizabeth before ca. 1500, most of them unpublished and hitherto unexamined, and includes in the appendix a sample of eighteen of them edited by the author. While its focus is on sermons, the book also provides an overview of the cult in a wide variety of its manifestations: the biographies of the saint, the pilgrimage to her grave and relics, the observance and liturgy of her feast, and the churches, religious houses and hospitals dedicated to her. The changing motivations behind the composition of sermons about St. Elizabeth, and the long-term transformations in the social base and religious content of the cult are discussed in the historical framework constituted by the cult’s diffusion and stabilization. In addition to these historical aspects, the book also discusses the rhetorical capacities of sermons both to transmit and to revise the image of the saint once it had been moulded by the authors of the vitae and in liturgical texts.

Abstract

"Antiquity, as the term has been understood and used over the centuries by scholars, political and religious figures, and ordinary citizens, is far from a single, monolithic concept. Rather than reflecting a stable, shared understanding about the past and its meaning, the idea of antiquity is instead varying and multiple, taking on different meanings and deployed to different effects in those context in which it is being considered. In this volume, historians and archaeologists from a wide range of specialties offer a comparative assessment of the multiple perceptions of antiquity that have shaped modern European cultures and national identities, using a new methodological approach, histoire croisée, which considers these questions in the light of cultural diversity across Europe."--P. [4] of cover.
