Book Synopsis Marguerite Bourgeoys and Montreal, 1640-1665 by : Patricia Simpson
Download or read book Marguerite Bourgeoys and Montreal, 1640-1665 written by Patricia Simpson and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1997-04-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born and raised in Troyes, France, in 1653 Marguerite Bourgeoys came as a new recruit to de Maisonneuve's tiny and beleaguered settlement of Ville-Marie, founded in 1642 as a Christian missionary society. These early years in New France marked a special period in her life. Firmly committed to the belief that the world would be a better place if people learned to understand one another, she worked to build a better church and a better society, especially for women and children. Marguerite Bourgeoys's life story teaches us about tolerance and compassion, ideals that are no less important now than three centuries ago.

This book was released on 2007-11-27T00:00:00-05:00 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Vie de Michel de Marillac, written by his devoted friend Nicolas Lefèvre de Lezeau, is here presented for the first time in its integrity. Important homme d’état, Michel de Marillac (1560-1632) served the French Crown as councillor in the Parlement de Paris, maître des requêtes under Henry IV, and conseiller du roi under Louis XIII. Become a conseiller d’état, he was named Surintendant des finances (from August 1624 to June 1626), then Garde des Sceaux until his disgrace in mid-November 1630, after the famous Day of Dupes. By his intelligence, energy, experience and probity, he was one of the most significant figures in the reign of Louis XIII. Marillac was the principal author of the Ordonnance de 1629, the largest ever codification of French law, which was known familiarly by his name: the “Code Michau”. Chief of the dévot party, he was among the most influential lay persons active in the establishment in France of the Reformed Carmelites (1602-1604), the Ursulines (1610) and the Oratorians (1611). He achieved one of the best translations of Thomas à Kempis’s Imitation of Christ and a translation of the Psalms, and was the author of several other scholarly works.

Book Synopsis Female Monasticism in Early Modern Europe by : Cordula van Wyhe
Download or read book Female Monasticism in Early Modern Europe written by Cordula van Wyhe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of twelve interdisciplinary essays addresses the multifaceted nature of female religious identity in early modern Europe. By dismantling the boundaries between the academic disciplines of history, art history, musicology and literary studies it offers new cross-cultural readings essential to a more comprehensive understanding of the complexity of female spirituality in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Utilising a wide range of archival material, encompassing art, architecture, writings and music commissioned or produced by nuns, the volume's main emphasis is on the limitations and potentials created by the boundaries of the convent. Each chapter explores how the personal and national circumstances in which the women lived affected the formation of their spirituality and the assertion of their social and political authority. Consisting of four sections each dealing with different parts of Europe and discussing issues of spiritual and social identity such as 'Femininity and Sanctity', 'Convent Theatre and Music-Making', 'Spiritual Directorship' and 'Community and Conflict', this compelling collection offers a significant addition to a thriving new field of study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Penitence to Charity radically revises our understanding of women's place in the institutional and spiritual revival known as the Catholic Reformation. Focusing on Paris, where fifty new religious congregations for women were established in as many years, it examines women's active role as founders and patrons of religious communities, as spiritual leaders within these communities, and as organizers of innovative forms of charitable assistance to the poor. Rejecting the too common view that the Catholic Reformation was a male-dominated movement whose principal impact on women was to control and confine them, the book shows how pious women played an instrumental role, working alongside--and sometimes in advance of--male reformers. At the same time, it establishes a new understanding of the chronology and character of France's Catholic Reformation by locating the movement's origins in a penitential spirituality rooted in the agonies of religious war. It argues that a powerful desire to appease the wrath of God through acts of heroic asceticism born of the wars did not subside with peace but, rather, found new outlets in the creation of austere, contemplative convents. Admiration for saintly ascetics prompted new vocations, and convents multiplied, as pious laywomen rushed to fund houses where, enjoying the special rights accorded founders, they might enter the cloister and participate in convent life. Penitential enthusiasm inevitably waned, while new social and economic tensions encouraged women to direct their piety toward different ends. By the 1630s, charitable service was supplanting penitential asceticism as the dominant spiritual mode. Capitalizing on the Council of Trent's call to catechize an ignorant laity, pious women founded innovative new congregations to aid less favored members of their sex and established lay confraternities to serve society's outcasts and the poor. Their efforts to provide war relief during the Fronde in particular deserve recognition.

Book Synopsis The Divisions of French Catholicism, 1629-1645 by : Anthony D. Wright
Download or read book The Divisions of French Catholicism, 1629-1645 written by Anthony D. Wright and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For much of the sixteenth-century, France was wracked with religious strife, as the Wars of Religion pitted Catholic against Protestant. Whilst the conversion of Henri IV to Catholicism ended much of the conflict, the ensuing peace highlighted the fractious nature of French Catholicism and the many competing threads that ran through it. This book investigates the gradual division of the French Catholic reform movement, often associated with those known as the 'devots' during the first half of the seventeenth century. Such division, it is argued, was emerging before the publication in France (1641) of the posthumous 'Augustinus' of Jansenius, not simply as a sequel to that. Those who were already distinguishing themselves from other 'devots' before that date were thus not yet identifiable as 'Jansenists'. Rather, the initial defining sentiment was increasing French hostility towards Jesuit involvement in Catholic Reform, both at home and abroad. Drawing on sources from the Jesuit archives in Rome and on Port-Royal material in Paris, the book begins with an investigation into the development of Catholic Reform in France, showing the problems that emerged before 1629 and the degree to which these were or were not resolved. The second half of the book contrasts the fragmentation of the movement in the years beyond 1629, and the context of Richelieu's new directions in French foreign policy. Covering a crucial period in the lead up to the establishment of an absolute monarchy in France, this book provides a rich new explanation of the development of French political and ecclesiastical history. It will be of interest not only to those studying the early modern period, but to anyone wishing to understand the roots of French secular society.
Book Synopsis Recueil De Documents Relatifs a La Levitation Du Corps Humain by : Albert De Rochas D'Aiglun

This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intitule modestement: recueil de documents relatifs la levitation du corps humain, ce livre va bien au-dela, car il esquisse des theories pour expliquer le phenomene et aborde notamment l'idee que la suspension magnetique serait a l'origine de certaines levitations. Plein de curiosite scientifique et affranchi des prejuges de la science de son epoque, Rochas d'Aiglun a balaye large, recherchant partout les temoignages de levitations sans se laisser impressionner dans ses analyses par les contextes parfois mystiques ou il les a trouves. Il nous livre des documents a propos des sages et des yogis de l'Inde, d'autres tires de l'histoire profane et religieuse de l'Occident, et d'autres encore provenant des hagiographes. Puis, il presente les informations contemporaines sur la question, appuyees par une impressionnante quantite de temoins de valeur: medecins renomes, academiciens, ancien eleve de Polytechnique et jusqu'au fameux criminologue Lombroso. Il termine son etude en presentant les differentes theories proposees pour expliquer rationnellement le phenomene de la levitation. Il rapproche ce phenomene de celui provoque par la foudre qui emporte quelquefois a grande distance des objets ou des corps vivants, et invite, depuis 1897, les scientifiques a reflechir a cette question au lieu de nier la realite. Bien qu'il existe desormais des trains a suspension magnetique, qui circulent grande vitesse et sans contact avec leurs rails, c'est à dire en levitation, le mot meme de levitation fait toujours sourire la plupart des scientifiques serieux. Et pourtant, est-ce vraiment bien serieux de nier et donc de ne pas explorer des realites qui depassent l'entendement scientifique commun, mais qui pourraient permettre a la science de faire un bond spectaculaire dans ses realisations concretes?
