Download or read book Le Moyen Age et la Bible written by Pierre Riché and published by Editions Beauchesne. This book was released on 1984 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'histoire de la Bible est comme celle d'un long fleuve qui parcourt le temps et irrigue les champs de l'Occident. Au Moyen Âge plus que jamais. Les auteurs de ce livre ont voulu montrer quelle était réellement cette Bible, comment on l'a reçue, comprise, quelle a été son influence sur l'enseignement, les institutions, l'art et les mentalités. À ce projet ambitieux, frôlant la démesure, il fallait une idée-clef qui façonne l'unité de l'ouvrage. On voit donc comment les hommes du Moyen Âge sont peu à peu passés de l'âge de la Loi à celui de la Bonne nouvelle, de la rumination aristocratique de la Bible chez les moines à l'imitation populaire des gestes du Christ.

Download or read book Lire la Bible au Moyen Age Essais d herm neutique m di vale written by Gilbert Dahan and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 2009 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On ne sera pas étonné que le travail des commentateurs médiévaux s’ancre à deux points fondamentaux : l’analyse du langage de l’Ecriture, la possibilité de faire éclater ce langage pour aller au-delà de ce que sont en mesure d’exprimer les mots. Faisceau de techniques consistant à décoder l’Ecriture, traitant de la compréhension et de l’interprétation humaine de textes réputés d’inspiration divine, l’exégèse enrichit le texte biblique d’une signification déclinée en différents sens. Ainsi la réflexion herméneutique porte avant tout sur l’analyse du langage de la Bible. Se pose la question de savoir si l’herméneutique est alors réduite à des fins d’allégorèse ou si elle fait l’objet, aux XIIe et, plus encore, XIIIe siècles, d’une réflexion proprement épistémologique tout en démarquant son champ d’application au seul corpus biblique. Force est de constater que l’intense pratique exégétique des XIIe et XIIIe siècles s’est accompagnée d’une réflexion non moins consistante. Au départ de ce constat, Gilbert Dahan examine comment une exégèse confessante, de type traditionnel, dans laquelle inspiration et expérience jouent un rôle prépondérant, en vient à être formalisée. Dossiers à l’appui, il établit quels moyens elle déploie pour fondre en un système cohérent les contradictions qui la constituent, acquérir les caractères de ce que l’on appellerait volontiers une exégèse scientifique et enclencher le processus d’une méthode herméneutique. En d’autres termes, le présent recueil, et l’intérêt même du choix des travaux réunis, permet de poser que l’intention herméneutique est bien applicable au Moyen Age et ne peut être tenue pour un effet, qu’il faudrait admettre anachronique, de la recherche contemporaine.
Download or read book Bible Missals and the Medieval Dominican Liturgy written by Innocent Smith and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-11-06 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bible Missals are manuscripts that integrate liturgical prayers for the Mass with the scriptural texts of the Latin Vulgate. Long overlooked by scholars, Bible Missals offer important evidence for the development of the medieval liturgy and the liturgical use of scripture by medieval Christians. This monograph is the first comprehensive analysis of the codicology and contents of Bible Missals. Mostly produced in the first half of the 13th century by professional book makers in centers like Paris and Oxford, these hybrid manuscripts were customized for secular, monastic, and mendicant patrons. This monograph focuses on Dominican Bible Missals, the largest group within the repertoire, providing detailed codicological descriptions of each manuscript and analyzing their texts for the Order of Mass and selected liturgical formularies, including prayers for the feast of St. Dominic. For medieval Christians, the words and events of scripture were continually called to mind and reenacted in the sacramental rites of the Mass. Bible Missals provide important material evidence for this interplay between word and sacrament.
Download or read book Reading the Bible in the Middle Ages written by Jinty Nelson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For earlier medieval Christians, the Bible was the book of guidance above all others, and the route to religious knowledge, used for all kinds of practical purposes, from divination to models of government in kingdom or household. This book's focus is on how medieval people accessed Scripture by reading, but also by hearing and memorizing sound-bites from the liturgy, chants and hymns, or sermons explicating Scripture in various vernaculars. Time, place and social class determined access to these varied forms of Scripture. Throughout the earlier medieval period, the Psalms attracted most readers and searchers for meanings. This book's contributors probe readers' motivations, intellectual resources and religious concerns. They ask for whom the readers wrote, where they expected their readers to be located and in what institutional, social and political environments they belonged; why writers chose to write about, or draw on, certain parts of the Bible rather than others, and what real-life contexts or conjunctures inspired them; why the Old Testament so often loomed so large, and how its law-books, its histories, its prophetic books and its poetry were made intelligible to readers, hearers and memorizers. This book's contributors, in raising so many questions, do justice to both uniqueness and diversity.
Download or read book Approaching the Bible in medieval England written by Eyal Poleg and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did people learn their Bibles in the Middle Ages? Did church murals, biblical manuscripts, sermons or liturgical processions transmit the Bible in the same way? This book unveils the dynamics of biblical knowledge and dissemination in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century England. An extensive and interdisciplinary survey of biblical manuscripts and visual images, sermons and chants, reveals how the unique qualities of each medium became part of the way the Bible was known and recalled; how oral, textual, performative and visual means of transmission joined to present a surprisingly complex biblical worldview. This study of liturgy and preaching, manuscript culture and talismanic use introduces the concept of biblical mediation, a new way to explore Scriptures and society. It challenges the lay-clerical divide by demonstrating that biblical exegesis was presented to the laity in non-textual means, while the ‘naked text’ of the Bible remained elusive even for the educated clergy.
Download or read book Form and Function in the Late Medieval Bible written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Latin Bibles survive in hundreds of manuscripts, one of the most popular books of the Middle Ages. Their innovative layout and organization established the norm for Bibles for centuries to come. This volume is the first study of these Bibles as a cohesive group. Multi- and inter-disciplinary analyses in art history, liturgy, exegesis, preaching and manuscript studies, reveal the nature and evolution of layout and addenda. They follow these Bibles as they were used by monks and friars, preachers and merchants. By addressing Latin Bibles alongside their French, Italian and English counterparts, this book challenges the Latin-vernacular dichotomy to show links, as well as discrepancies, between lay and clerical audiences and their books. Contributors include Peter Stallybrass, Diane Reilly, Paul Saenger, Richard Gameson, Chiara Ruzzier, Giovanna Murano, Cornelia Linde, Lucie Doležalová, Laura Light, Eyal Poleg, Sabina Magrini, Sabrina Corbellini, Margriet Hoogvliet, Guy Lobrichon, Elizabeth Solopova, and Matti Peikola.
Download or read book The Bible and Medieval Culture written by W. Lourdaux and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 1979 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From May 16th to 19th 1977, philologist, historians, sociologists, philosophers and theologians gathered in Louvain, to attend the Vllth International Colloquium organized by the 'Instituut voor Middeleeuwse Studies' of the 'Katholieke Universiteit te Leuven', to discuss and investigate the influence of the Bible on medieval culture. It is indisputable that medieval society in its various aspects was deeply penetrated and strongly influenced by the Bible. Many important studies have already been published on this subject, but the organizers of the Colloquium recognized that much further work was still required, and focussed attention on three fundamental problems, to which the attention of participants was directed. Firstly, some centuries passed before the Bible was translated into vernacular languages, as a result of the Church's policy that the Bible should only be read in one of the 'sacred languages' - Hebrew, Greek or Latin. The vulgate version for Western christendom was St Jerome's Latin translation, but a stimulus and demand gradually grew for vernacular translations. In the course of the 9th century, the Frankish Otfrid of Weissenburg raised the significant question whether the language of the Franks was indeed to trivial or inferior that it was worthless or useless for speaking to God. But the Church was reluctant to permit the Bible to be translated into the common tongues, through fear of the confusion and uncertainty which might result for uneducated people. Nevertheless, and secondly, in spite of many obstacles, such translations in fact appeared, principally in German, Anglo-Saxon, French and Dutch. And thirtly, in consequence of these developments, the Bible impacted a specific outlook to medieval society, and the translators recorded in their versions the contemporary customs and habits of their people. The Bible translations created a new vocabulary, and the translators used their own language and idioms to render the Bible stories more lively and comprehensible. The various contributions to the International Colloquium dealt with these three themes, as well as other aspects of medieval life on which the Bible left its mark.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1997, Medieval Liturgy is a unique and interesting collection of nine essays that explores medieval liturgy from three distinct perspectives: historical, liturgical, and theological. The book includes contributions from eminent scholars of the time and discusses the development of 9th to 11th century ordines, the meaning of the Mass in the 12th and 13th centuries, medieval preaching, ordination practices, popular penance practices, marriage rites, the role of music in Eucharistic liturgy, and the relationship between liturgical architectural space and theology.
Download or read book Understanding Medieval Liturgy written by Helen Gittos and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to current work and new directions in the study of medieval liturgy. It focuses primarily on so-called occasional rituals such as burial, church consecration, exorcism and excommunication rather than on the Mass and Office. Recent research on such rites challenges many established ideas, especially about the extent to which they differed from place to place and over time, and how the surviving evidence should be interpreted. These essays are designed to offer guidance about current thinking, especially for those who are new to the subject, want to know more about it, or wish to conduct research on liturgical topics. Bringing together scholars working in different disciplines (history, literature, architectural history, musicology and theology), time periods (from the ninth to the fifteenth centuries) and intellectual traditions, this collection demonstrates the great potential that liturgical evidence offers for understanding many aspects of the Middle Ages. It includes essays that discuss the practicalities of researching liturgical rituals; show through case studies the problems caused by over-reliance on modern editions; explore the range of sources for particular ceremonies and the sort of questions which can be asked of them; and go beyond the rites themselves to investigate how liturgy was practised and understood in the medieval period.

Download or read book The Liturgy of the Medieval Church written by E. Ann Matter and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume seeks to address the needs of teachers and advanced students who are preparing classes on the Middle Ages or who find themselves confounded in their studies by reference to the various liturgies that were fundamental to the lives of medieval peoples. In a series of essays, scholars of the liturgy examine The Shape of the Liturgical Year, Particular Liturgies, The Physical Setting of the Liturgy, The Liturgy and Books, and Liturgy and the Arts. A concluding essay, which originated in notes left behind by the late C. Clifford Flanigan, seeks to open the field, to examine liturgy within the larger and more inclusive category of ritual. The essays are intended to be introductory but to provide the basic facts and the essential bibliography for further study. They approach particular problems assuming a knowledge of medieval Europe but little expertise in liturgical studies per se.
Download or read book The Practice of the Bible in the Middle Ages written by Susan Boynton and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, specialists in literature, theology, liturgy, manuscript studies, and history introduce the medieval culture of the Bible in Western Christianity. Emphasizing the living quality of the text and the unique literary traditions that arose from it, they show the many ways in which the Bible was read, performed, recorded, and interpreted by various groups in medieval Europe. An initial orientation introduces the origins, components, and organization of medieval Bibles. Subsequent chapters address the use of the Bible in teaching and preaching, the production and purpose of Biblical manuscripts in religious life, early vernacular versions of the Bible, its influence on medieval historical accounts, the relationship between the Bible and monasticism, and instances of privileged and practical use, as well as the various forms the text took in different parts of Europe. The dedicated merging of disciplines, both within each chapter and overall in the book, enable readers to encounter the Bible in much the same way as it was once experienced: on multiple levels and registers, through different lenses and screens, and always personally and intimately.
