Download or read book The Proceedings Against the Templars in the British Isles written by and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 962 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1307 all the brothers of the military religious Order of the Temple in France were arrested on the instructions of King Philip IV and charged with heresy. In November, Pope Clement V instructed King Edward II of England to do likewise. This volume provide the first full translation of the four surviving texts of the trial proceedings that followed in Britain and Ireland, complementing the edition published in volume 1. The trial of the Templars was the first major heresy trial in the British Isles, and the proceedings reveal the Episcopate's attempts to deal with this unprecedented situation, the varying procedures followed in different countries, and how testimonies were recorded and summarised for the Church Councils which eventually decided the fate of the Order of the Temple. The testimonies given during the trial contain a wealth of information about religious beliefs among the lay population of the British Isles (both the Templars and outsiders who gave evidence during the trial), national and international mobility of lay religious, the social function of the order of the Temple in the British Isles and its relations with society at large, and the organisation and operations of the Order of the Temple at a local, national and international level. Detailed introductions to each volume describe the manuscripts and how the material was compiled and arranged, and discuss the course of the proceedings and the value of the evidence they contain. Appendices in this volume also list the names of all the Templars mentioned during the proceedings, Templar houses and the locations of the proceedings in London.

Download or read book The Council of Bourges 1225 written by Richard Kay and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never before had France had a church council so large: almost 1000 churchmen assembled at Bourges on 29 November 1225 to authorize a tax on their incomes in support of the Second Albigensian Crusade. About one third of the participants were representatives sent by corporate bodies, in accordance with a new provision of canon law that insisted, for the first time ever, that there should be no taxation without representation. Basing himself on the rich surviving records, Professor Kay paints a skilful portrait of this council: the political manoeuvering by the papal legate to ensure the tax went through, and his use of this highly public occasion to humiliate members of the University of Paris; and, on the other hand, his failure to win a permanent endowment to support the papal bureaucracy, the bishops' effective protests against the pope's threat to diminish their jurisdiction over monasteries, and a subsequent 'taxpayers' revolt' that challenged the validity of the tax. The book also draws out the importance and implications of what took place, highlighting the council's place at the fountainhead of European representative democracy, the impact of the decisions made on the course of the Albigensian Crusade, the reform of monasticism, and the funding of the papal government which was left to rely on stop-gap expedients, such as the sale of indulgences. In addition, the author suggests that the corpus of texts, newly edited from the original manuscripts and with English translation, could be seen as a model for the revision of the conciliar corpus, most of which still remains based on 18th-century scholarship.

Download or read book Seals and their Context in the Middle Ages written by Phillipp R. Schofield and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2015-01-08 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seals and their Context in the Middle Ages offers an extensive overview of approaches to and the potential of sigillography, as well as introducing a wider readership to the range, interest and artistry of medieval seals. Seals were used throughout medieval society in a wide range of contexts: royal, governmental, ecclesiastical, legal, in trade and commerce and on an individual and personal level. The fourteen papers presented here, which originate from a conference held in Aberystwyth in April 2012, focus primarily on British material but there is also useful reference to continental Europe. The volume is divided into three sections looking at the history and use of seals as symbols and representations of power and prestige in a variety of institutional, dynastic and individual contexts, their role in law and legal practice, and aspects of their manufacture, sources and artistic attributes. Importantly and distinctively, the volume moves beyond the study of high status seals to consider such themes as the social and economic status of seal-makers, the nature and meaning _ including reflections of deliberate wit and boastfulness _ of specific motifs employed at various levels of society, and the distribution of seals in relation to the location of, for instance, religious institutions and along major routeways. In so doing, it sets out ways in which sigillography can open new pathways into the study of non-elites and their cultures in medieval society.

Download or read book The Myrour of recluses written by Marta Powell Harley and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Myrour of Recluses provides an edited text of British Library MS. Harley 2372, the only manuscript preserving the Middle English translation of the fourteenth-century Speculum Inclusorum. Of the four-part Latin original, the Middle English translation preserves the preface and all four chapters of Part 1 (discussing the motives for embracing closure) and the first two chapters of Parts 2 and 3 (deleting from each part only the third chapter on reading). Thus, the Middle English Myrour of Recluses treats fully the four motives for choosing enclosure and amply examines the nature and practice of prayer and meditation." "The Myrour of Recluses draws throughout on devotional and doctrinal material familiar to the general audiences of the popular religious manuals. Scriptural quotations are plentiful. The ascetic advice and the devotional and doctrinal instruction in The Myrour of Recluses serve the author's higher aim of securing for the recluses "the sweetness of the love of God and of contemplation."" "The edition presents the entire surviving Middle English text. Where chapters of the Middle English Myrour of Recluses are fragmentary, bracketed Modern English translations of the Latin original are supplied (with the Latin passages printed in Appendix A). In addition to a physical description of the manuscript, the introduction to the edition offers an assessment of the translator's aims and a consideration of the work's place within the vast body of Middle English religious prose. Following the edited text, the textual and explanatory notes address unusual emendations and unfamiliar words or allusions. Indices of the names and scriptural quotations found in the text are provided in Appendices B and C."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
