Download or read book The Cult of St Swithun written by Michael Lapidge and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2003 with total page 870 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St Swithun was an obscure ninth-century bishop of Winchester about whom little was, and is, known. But following the translation of his relics from a conspicuous tomb into the Old Minster, Winchester, on 15 July 971, the massive rebuilding of the cathedral, and a vigorous publicity campaign byBishop Aethelwold (963-84), St Swithun became one of the most popular and important English saints, whose cult was widespread not only in England but also in Ireland, Scandinavia, and France. The present volume includes new and full editions of all the relevant texts - hagiographical, liturgical,and historical - in Latin, Old English, and Middle English, many of which have never been published before: these illuminate the origins and development of St Swithun's cult. No dossier of an important English saint has been published on this scale until now: the wealth of this volume sheds newlight not only on St Swithun himself, but also on the times during which his cult was at the peak of its popularity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the eleventh and early twelfth centuries, the imperial abbey of Farfa was one of the most powerful institutions on the Italian peninsula. In this period many of the lands of central Italy fell under its sway, and it enjoyed the protection of the emperor until the 1120s, when it passed gradually into the control of the papacy. At the same time, the monastery was an influential religious center, and the monks of Farfa filled their days with the celebration of the liturgy through prayers, processions, sermons, chants, and hymns.Susan Boynton, a historian of medieval music, addresses several of the major themes of present-day medieval historiography through a close study of the liturgical practices of the abbey of Farfa. Boynton's findings are a striking demonstration of the local nature of liturgical practices in the centuries before church ritual was controlled and codified by the papacy. Boynton shows that the liturgy was highly flexible, continually adapting to the monastery's changing circumstances. The monks regularly modified traditional forms to reflect new realities, often in the service of Farfa's power and prestige. Equally fascinating is Boynton's examination of the process by which Farfa, like other monasteries, cathedral chapters, and royal houses, constantly rewrote its history--particularly the stories of its founding--as part of the continuous negotiation of power that was central to medieval politics and culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Megan McLaughlin explores the social and cultural significance of prayer for the dead in the West Frankish realm from the late eighth century through the end of the eleventh century. She argues that the primary function of funerary and commemorative rituals in the early middle ages was to sustain the dead as members of the Christian community on earth, and to link them symbolically with the community of saints in heaven.

Download or read book L ordre public written by Marie Caroline Vincent-Legoux and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 2001 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'ordre public présente de prime abord une image " éclatée ", tant ses champs d'action sont multiples et ses éléments flous et variables. Mais une étude approfondie de cette notion en droit comparé interne établit son unité en droit positif français, unité nécessaire à la cohérence de l'ordre juridique étatique. L'ordre public entretient une relation dialectique avec les libertés en droit administratif comme en droit privé : limite des libertés reconnues dans les relations sociales et juridiques, il les protège aussi en assurant leur effectivité, en fondant des garanties procédurales et en bornant l'exercice des " pouvoirs " habilités à les restreindre. De plus, les composantes de la notion d'ordre public qui se manifestent dans les deux branches du droit interne révèlent les valeurs dominantes de l'organisation sociale et sont elles-mêmes " ordonnées " pour qu'un conflit de valeurs puisse être tranché. Point de contact entre l'ordre juridique et l'ordre social, l'ordre public garantit la réalisation de " l'idée de droit " de la société en imposant à ses membres une discipline dans la vie sociale et juridique. Gardien de la paix sociale et promoteur d'une harmonie sociale, il tend à instituer un " libéralisme modéré " et fait primer le respect de la personne humaine. Faisant prévaloir certaines normes juridiques elles-mêmes hiérarchisées, l'ordre public n'est-il pas la " norme des normes " ?

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'identification de la notion d' « ordre public» est traditionnellement vue comme problématique, compte tenu du caractère relatif de cette dernière et de la multiplicité de ses occurrences. Dans le cadre de l'Union européenne, la difficulté est encore accentuée par la mise en tension constante de l'ordre juridique européen et de l'ordre juridique national, chacun revendiquant« son ordre public». Dans ce contexte, cette étude se propose d'opérer une systématisation des phénomènes juridiques habituellement désignés sous l'expression« ordre public», en reconnaissant à cette fin un statut épistémologique identique au droit national et au droit de l'Union. Sur la base d'une analyse, dans un premier temps, de chacune des principales occurrences de la notion communes au droit national et au droit de l'Union, la thèse envisage, dans un second temps, l'articulation de ces notions entre elles et, plus largement, leur fonction au sein d'un ordre juridique. L'exercice de synthèse laisse ainsi entrevoir une gradation de techniques allant de l'hypothèse où la pondération des valeurs sollicitées par la situation envisagée est déterminée par le législateur et coulée dans une règle qu'il s'agit d'appliquer, à celle où la référence au standard« ordre public» habilite l'agent de la réalisation du droit à se prononcer lui-même sur l'acceptabilité sociale de la situation à laquelle il se trouve confronté. De cette manière, l'étude invite à reconsidérer la problématique de « l'ordre public en droit de l'Union européenne» comme étant celle de la réalisation des valeurs dans l'espace social européen, opérée tantôt selon un modèle pluraliste, tantôt selon un modèle moniste.
