Book excerpt: English summary: Starting point of this book is the Ebstorf map which has been discussed controversially within the last decades. It is still one of the most central medieval pictorial documents without which a great exposition of medieval history could hardly be found. The study introduces the reader to the pictorial world of medieval illumination and tapestry, what they originally intended and expressed and how they were read. Another focus lies on Gervasius of Tilbury who is considered to be the creator of the Ebstorf map. The wider context is the question of how the map could have evolved out of the Northern German monastic educational system. German description: Ausgangspunkt des vorliegenden Bandes ist die in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten immer wieder kontrovers diskutierte Ebstorfer Weltkarte. Die Beitrage des Bandes fuhren den Leser ein in die Bilderwelt der mittelalterlichen Buchmalerei und Bildteppiche, ihrer Entstehungs- und Rezeptionsintentionen und ihren Ausdrucksformen. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bilden die Aufsatze zu Gervasius von Tilbury, der vielfach als Schopfer der Ebstorfer Karte gilt, und zur Frage nach seiner Urheberschaft. Schliealich wird anhand der Diozesen Bremen und Verden der Frage nachgegangen, wie die Ebstorfer Karte aus der norddeutschen klosterlichen Bildungslandschaft hervorgegangen sein kann.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys the full panorama of ten centuries of Christian monastic life. It moves from the deserts of Egypt and the Frankish monasteries of early medieval Europe to the religious ruptures of the eleventh and twelfth centuries and the reforms of the later Middle Ages. Throughout that story the book balances a rich sense of detail with a broader synthetic view. It presents the history of religious life and its orders as a complex braid woven from multiple strands: individual and community, spirit and institution, rule and custom, church and world. The result is a synthesis that places religious life at the center of European history and presents its institutions as key catalysts of Europe’s move toward modernity.

This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume explores the hitherto uncharted late medieval religious landscape of Northern Germany, from 13th-century Helfta to the 15th-century Lüneburg convents. The mystical and devotional writing of Northern Germany is contextualised through chapters on the Netherlands, Scandinavia and East Prussia. The seminal influence of the liturgy on these texts and their transmission is revealed in the creative interplay of Latin and Low German. Through the individual chapters and their appendices, which also contain translations into English, the reader can access a wealth of texts produced by communities of religious and lay women who write learnedly in Latin and fervently in Low German. Together, the chapters and appendices reveal a fascinating regional "mystical culture" which also reverberated across Northern Europe. Contributors include: Jürgen Bärsch, Anne Bollmann, Veerle Fraeters, Ulrike Hascher-Burger, Ernst Hellgardt, Tanja Mattern, Balazs Nemes, Sara S. Poor, Eva Schlotheuber, Almut Suerbaum, and Geert Warnar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protestant nuns and mixed-confessional convents are an unexpected anomaly in early modern Germany. According to sixteenth-century evangelical reformers' theological positions outlined in their publications and reform-minded rulers' institutional efforts, monastic life in Protestant regions should have ended by the mid-sixteenth century. Instead, many convent congregations exhibiting elements of traditional and evangelical practices in Protestant regions survived into the seventeenth century and beyond. How did these convents survive? What is a Protestant nun? How many convent congregations came to house nuns with diverse belief systems and devotional practices, and how did they live and worship together? These questions lead to surprising answers. Stripping the Veil explores the daily existence, ritual practices, and individual actions of nuns in surviving convents over time against the backdrop of changing political and confessional circumstances in Protestant regions. It also demonstrates how incremental shifts in practice and belief led to the emergence of a complex, often locally constructed, devotional life. This continued presence of nuns and the survival of convents in Protestant cities and territories of the German-speaking parts of the Holy Roman Empire is evidence of a more complex lived experience of religious reform, devotional practice, and confessional accommodation than traditional histories of early modern Christianity would indicate. The internal differences and the emerging confessional hybridity, blending, and fluidity also serve as a caution about designating a nun or groups of nuns as Lutheran, Catholic, or Reformed, or even more broadly as Protestant or Catholic during the sixteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A radical shift took place in medieval Europe that still shapes contemporary intellectual life: freeing themselves from the fixed beliefs of the past, scholars began to determine and pursue their own avenues of academic inquiry. In Knowledge True and Useful, Frank Rexroth shows how, beginning in the 1070s, a new kind of knowledge arose in Latin Europe that for the first time could be deemed "scientific." In the twelfth century, when Peter Abelard proclaimed the primacy of reason in all areas of inquiry (and started an affair with his pupil Heloise), it was a scandal. But he was not the only one who wanted to devote his life to this new enterprise of "scholastic" knowledge. Rexroth explores how the first students and teachers of this movement came together in new groups and schools, examining their intellectual debates and disputes as well as the lifelong connections they forged with one another through the scholastic communities to which they belonged. Rexroth shows how the resulting transformations produced a new understanding of truth and the utility of learning, as well as a new perspective on the intellectual tradition and the division of knowledge into academic disciplines--marking a turning point in European intellectual culture that culminated in the birth of the university and, with it, traditions and forms of academic inquiry that continue to organize the pursuit of knowledge today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes enjoying considerable favor, sometimes less, iconography has been an essential element in medieval art historical studies since the beginning of the discipline. Some of the greatest art historians – including Mâle, Warburg, Panofsky, Morey, and Schapiro – have devoted their lives to understanding and structuring what exactly the subject matter of a work of medieval art can tell. Over the last thirty or so years, scholarship has seen the meaning and methodologies of the term considerably broadened. This companion provides a state-of-the-art assessment of the influence of the foremost iconographers, as well as the methodologies employed and themes that underpin the discipline. The first section focuses on influential thinkers in the field, while the second covers some of the best-known methodologies; the third, and largest section, looks at some of the major themes in medieval art. Taken together, the three sections include thirty-eight chapters, each of which deals with an individual topic. An introduction, historiographical evaluation, and bibliography accompany the individual essays. The authors are recognized experts in the field, and each essay includes original analyses and/or case studies which will hopefully open the field for future research.

This book was released on 2018-10-22 with total page 811 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on medieval and early modern travel literature has made great progress, which now allows us to take the next step and to analyze the correlations between the individual and space throughout time, which contributed essentially to identity formation in many different settings. The contributors to this volume engage with a variety of pre-modern texts, images, and other documents related to travel and the individual's self-orientation in foreign lands and make an effort to determine the concept of identity within a spatial framework often determined by the meeting of various cultures. Moreover, objects, images and words can also travel and connect people from different worlds through books. The volume thus brings together new scholarship focused on the interrelationship of travel, space, time, and individuality, which also includes, of course, women's movement through the larger world, whether in concrete terms or through proxy travel via readings. Travel here is also examined with respect to craftsmen's activities at various sites, artists' employment for many different projects all over Europe and elsewhere, and in terms of metaphysical experiences (catabasis).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Devout laywomen raise a number of provocative questions about gender and religion in the early modern world. How did some groups or individuals evade the Tridentine legislation that required third order women to take solemn vows and observe active and passive enclosure? How did their attempts to exercise a female apostolate (albeit with varying degrees of success and assertiveness) destabilize hierarchies of class and gender? To the extent that their beliefs and practices diverged from approved doctrine and rituals, what insights can they provide into the tensions between official religion and lay religiosity? Addressing these and many other questions, Devout Laywomen in the Early Modern World reflects new directions in gender history, offering a more nuanced approach to the paradigm of woman as the prototypical "disciplined" subject of church-state power.

This book was released on 2014-08-22 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europas - Mittelalter, Frühe Neuzeit, Note: 1,0, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster (Didaktik der Geschichte), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: „...die Frauenklöster der Zisterzienser vermehrten sich, und ihre Zahl wuchs ins Unermeßliche, wie die der Sterne am Himmel...“ Anhand dieser bildlichen Metapher verglich Jakob von Vitry (1180-1254) den großen Zustrom von Frauen in Klöster im 13. Jahrhundert. Es stellt sich die Frage, warum zu dieser Zeit so viele Frauen in die neuen religiösen Verbände, Stifte und Orden drängten und wer an der Entstehung beteiligt war. Am Beispiel des zisterzienserischen Ordens möchte ich die Gründe für die Entstehung von Nonnenkonventen und die Motive zum Eintritt der Frauen anhand ihrer Herkunft und der Vorteile der klösterlichen Lebensweise ermitteln. Wie gestalteten sich Alltag, Ämterverteilung und Zugang zur Bildung in der Gemeinschaft? Ausgehend von der Entwicklungsgeschichte von Zisterzienserinnenklöstern im 12. und 13. Jahrhundert werde ich im zweiten Teil der Arbeit die weibliche klösterliche Lebenswelt in Alltag, Ämtern und Bildung darlegen. Abschließend möchte ich das Verhältnis der Nonnen zu ihren Ordensbrüdern klären, ihre Akzeptanz in der Kirche und ihre Stellung im Orden aufzeigen. Die Literaturlage ist besonders zu den zisterzienserischen Frauenkonventen im Spätmittelalter in Deutschland umfangreich. Meine Motivation beruht auf meinem Interesse, eine spezielle Lebensform von Frauen im Mittelalter zu erfahren, um die soziale und gesellschaftliche Lage der Frauen in den größeren sozialgeschichtlichen Kontext einordnen zu können. Waren Nonnen nicht sogar emanzipierter als ihre Zeitgenossinnen? Lebten sie nicht eine Lebensform, die bisher nur dem männlichen Geschlecht vorbehalten war? Meine Fragestellung zielt zuerst auf die Lebensentscheidung der Frauen und richtet sich dann auf ihre Stellung innerhalb des zisterzienserischen Ordens. Der Umgang mit der Beteiligung von Frauen in der Kirche war für die männlichen Kirchenvertreter nicht einfach. Aber auch die Nonnen hatten Schwierigkeiten, religiöse Regeln, die bisher für Männer ausgelegt waren, anzupassen. Wie weit reichten ihre Befugnisse in einer religiösen Welt, die bisher von Männern dominiert wurde?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fact that certain cultures and religions produced a way of life which, for the sake of self-perfection, expected its adherents to withdraw from various obligations to the world and to enter into the organisational structure of a monastic community obviously represents a constant anthropological foundation. The spectrum of monastic life within these various cultures was extremely diverse in its manifestations. It was the result of a high degree of flexibility in the face of constantly changing ideas about piety, social needs and concepts of community and individuality. However, an interreligious study with the aim of a scholarly analysis of comparable key elements across different monastic cultures does not exist yet. The editors as well as the authors of this volume are particularly interested in how monastic life was realised communally in many ways according to fixed norms and rules, how it shaped the understanding of community and civilisation and therefore made a decisive contribution to the formation of our cultural identity.

Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europas - Mittelalter, Frühe Neuzeit, Note: 2,0, Universität Paderborn (Historisches Institut für Mittelalterliche Geschichte), Veranstaltung: Der St. Galler Klosterplan, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Wird von Bildung im Mittelalter gesprochen, so ist es unumgänglich sich mit zwei Thematiken zu beschäftigen: Die "septem artes liberales" bilden seit der Spätantike den Grundkanon für Bildung und die karolingische Bildungsreformen greifen u.a. auch diese erneut auf. Beides führte zu einem erneuten Aufblühen der gesamten karolingischen Kultur, vor allem in den folgenden Generationen. Die Klosterschule als solches erlebte aus diesem Zusammenspiel, seit dem Beginn des neunten Jahrhunderts, einen enormen Aufschwung und der St. Galler Klosterplan (830 n. Chr.) ist der einzige Bauplan eines Klosters, welcher aus dieser Zeit überliefert wurde. Dieser ist nicht nur enorm aufschlussreich, was den Alltag der Mönche anbelangt, sondern er kann auch Hinweise auf weitere Lebensbereiche, wie z.B. Bildung geben. Dieses genauer zu Untersuchen ist Ziel dieser Arbeit. Es soll der Begriff und die Bedeutung der septem artes liberales anhand von den kontemporären Reformen und der Gestaltung des St. Galler Klosterplans genauer untersucht werden. Die Leitfrage ist demnach, ob sich das damalige Verständnis von Bildung in dem Plan widerspiegelt. Die Quellen- und Literaturbasis zu dieser spezifischen Thematik ist kaum vorhanden, daher war es nötig mehrere Themenbereiche zu analysieren und nach hilfreichen Gemeinsamkeiten zu suchen. Einzelne, relevante Themen wie septem artes liberales, karolingische Bildungsreform, St. Galler Klosterplan oder Bildung im Mittelalter sind, für sich allein betrachtet, sehr gut erforscht und in den letzten Dekaden ausführlich, mehrfach und minutiös behandelt worden. Einerseits ermöglichte die Fülle an Quellen und Forschungsliteratur das wissenschaftliche Arbeiten enorm, andererseits jedoch ist diese Thematik in dem Umfang dieser Arbeit mitnichten gänzlich behandelbar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mapping Medieval Geographies explores the ways in which geographical knowledge, ideas and traditions were formed in Europe during the Middle Ages. Leading scholars reveal the connections between Islamic, Christian, Biblical and Classical geographical traditions from Antiquity to the later Middle Ages and Renaissance. The book is divided into two parts: Part I focuses on the notion of geographical tradition and charts the evolution of celestial and earthly geography in terms of its intellectual, visual and textual representations; whilst Part II explores geographical imaginations; that is to say, those 'imagined geographies' that came into being as a result of everyday spatial and spiritual experience. Bringing together approaches from art, literary studies, intellectual history and historical geography, this pioneering volume will be essential reading for scholars concerned with visual and textual modes of geographical representation and transmission, as well as the spaces and places of knowledge creation and consumption.
