Download or read book From a Reading Book to a Structuralized Canonical Collection written by Szabolcs Anzelm Szuromi and published by Frank & Timme GmbH. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The formation or developing process of the Ivonian work (i.e. Decretum, Panormia, Tripartita) is an emblematic example for the proper textual-history of Medieval Canonical Collections before the late 12th century. The recent studies concerning the Pre-Gratian canon law collections show well how the earlier meaning of “canonical collection” differs from its classical meaning. The fundamental intention was to summarize the whole of canon law which – as “ius sacrum” – served the daily life of the Church and was useful in every field of the ecclesiastical activity. The textual families of Ivo’s canonical work and the textual variants of these families demonstrate well this intention. In this present volume are described several 11th-12th century manuscripts and fragments of the Ivonian canon law collection. The precise paleographical, codicological and textual-critical analysis which was done by the author has improved the considerations on the step by step textual-development. These new results have shown in new light Ivo’s compiling work.

Download or read book The Cambridge History of Medieval Canon Law written by Anders Winroth and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canon law touched nearly every aspect of medieval society, including many issues we now think of as purely secular. It regulated marriages, oaths, usury, sorcery, heresy, university life, penance, just war, court procedure, and Christian relations with religious minorities. Canon law also regulated the clergy and the Church, one of the most important institutions in the Middle Ages. This Cambridge History offers a comprehensive survey of canon law, both chronologically and thematically. Written by an international team of scholars, it explores, in non-technical language, how it operated in the daily life of people and in the great political events of the time. The volume demonstrates that medieval canon law holds a unique position in the legal history of Europe. Indeed, the influence of medieval canon law, which was at the forefront of introducing and defining concepts such as 'equity,' 'rationality,' 'office,' and 'positive law,' has been enormous, long-lasting, and remarkably diverse.

Download or read book Manuscripts and Monastic Culture written by Alison I. Beach and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of the studies in this volume draws upon a manuscript, or a group of manuscripts, that shed light on the practice of monastic life during this period of reform. Many, but not all, of the papers focus on the monastery of Admont in central Austria. Admont was one of the most important spiritual, cultural, and intellectual centres in the high Middle Ages, and its magnificent library still houses an extensive collection of manuscripts - a rich resource both for the history of the monastery and for the broader history of medieval religious life. The book brings together the work of an international group of scholars whose work touches on various aspects of twelfth-century Admont, and the broader movement for reform and renewal in Germany and Austria. With the publication of Charles Homer Haskin's important work, The Renaissance of the Twelfth Century (1933), came a new way of looking at the civilization of the high Middle Ages. Scholars have since investigated many aspects of this revival: the rise of the universities, the development of canon law, the emergence (or re-emergence) of a heightened sense of human individuality, and the revival of religious fervour that has been labelled a reformation before the Reformation. Much of this scholarly work has focused on north-central Italy, France and England. Germany, however, has been little studied in this context, in part because the nature and trajectory of the reform there differed from that seen elsewhere in Europe. The essays in the book both explore connections between Germanic lands and the wider western European context, and consider the unique spiritual and intellectual climate of Germany's monasteries.

Download or read book Bibel und Exegese in der Abtei Saint Victor zu Paris written by Rainer Berndt and published by Aschendorff Verlag. This book was released on 2009 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary: This volume on "Bible and exegesis" represents the results of the 2004 Mainz conference of Hugo of Saint Victor Institute. Due to this symposium knowledge about the abbey of Saint Victor could be enlarged by embedding the traditional image of the Victorians into new contexts that went beyond the time and place of origin. The Nachleben of patristic exegesis in the writings of the Victorian writers as well as their genuine intentions (methodological, literary, theological) is displayed in the individual contributions to the volume. 12th to 15th-century culture in its religious, artistic and legal-political manifestations shows some of its facets as mirrored in the Victorian microcosm, which was influential far beyond the boundaries of Paris. German description: Der vorliegende Band uber"Bibel und Exegese" dokumentiert die Ergebnisse der Mainzer Tagung des Frankfurter Hugo von Sankt Viktor-Instituts im Jahre 2004. Durch dieses Symposium sind die Kenntnisse uber die Abtei Sankt Viktor vertieft worden, indem das bisherige Bild von den Viktorinern in neue, den Ursprungsraum und die Anfangszeit uberschreitende Zusammenhange eingebettet worden ist. Das Nachleben patristischer Exegese in den Schriften der Viktoriner Autoren sowie deren genuine Intentionen (methodischer, literarischer, theologischer Natur) werden in den einzelnen Beitragen exemplarisch verdeutlicht. Die Kultur des 12. bis 15. Jahrhunderts in ihren religiosen, kunstlerischen und rechtlich-politischen Manifestationen zeigt einige ihrer Facetten im Spiegel des weit uber Paris hinaus wirkenden viktorinischen Mikrokosmos.

Download or read book Scriptoria in Medieval Saxony written by Aliza Cohen-Mushlin and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2004 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines for the first time the scriptorium of the Augustinian Monastery of St. Pancras in Hamersleben. In the last quarter of the 12th century six wellknown manuscripts were produced there. Of the fourteen scribeartists involved, one in particular stands out as responsible for the correct text and illustrations. The bold innovations of this master scribeartist are expressed especially in the decoration programmes of a Psalter and two Gospel books. The manuscripts produced in the Hamersleben Scriptorium, as well as its notable library, were dispersed throughout the world or thought to be lost. In this book six known manuscripts are brought home, to Hamersleben. Each manuscript is minutely analysed for its codicology, palaeography, text and illuminations. The style of script as well as the style and iconography of the illustrations are discussed in relation to those from other monasteries in Saxony, in order to examine the evolvement of the regional style.
