Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dominican Penitent Women is the first comprehensive introduction in English to Dominican penitent spirituality. The volume examines Italian lay-women's ways of life through religious rules, hagiographical texts, and their own writings spanning the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries. The first section contains translations of two versions of their rules, which open a window to the religious practices and institutions that structured their lives. The second section introduces hagiographical texts, including the Miracoli of Catherine of Siena and an extract from Thomas of Siena's Supplement, which includes accounts not discussed in Raymond of Capua's Legenda maior. A final section consists of Osanna of Mantua's letters to Francesco Gonzaga and Lucia Brocadelli's Seven Revelations, in which these two women wove mundane details and cunning practical insights into their Christ-centered devotion.

Download or read book Historical Memory and Clerical Activity in Medieval Spain and Portugal written by Peter Linehan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fourth Variorum collection of articles by Peter Linehan comprises items largely from the past decade. The studies represent further investigation of themes broached in earlier works, in particular the latest report on the movements of Cardinal John of Abbeville, and the related subjects of historiography and historians, the interplay of history and government, and aspects of sacral monarchy. Articles on Zamora's frustrated legal history and Zamora's cardinal extend the Castilian theme across the territorial frontier into the kingdom of Portugal, and two other items explore English ramifications and developments in papal procedures.
Download or read book Lady of the Road written by Michael Sloan and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-05-24 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A centuries-old secret lays buried and forgotten. An exquisite pendant contains an obscure record of the hidden location. A country road, long abandoned and overgrown, leads to a priceless treasure. And the connection between these elusive clues is grasped by a resolute highwayman who hides behind mask, sword, and pistol. But this feared "Gentleman of the Road" is actually a woman, Zamora Delevan. Considered her family's poor, unremarkable cousin, she conceals a lethal skill. Her father Richard, one of the King's most proficient military fencing masters, privately trained Zamora at his London studio until her expertise rivaled his own. After Richard's premature death in 1721, Zamora finds herself thrust into the world of rural aristocrats who exploit England for personal gain. In an effort to ensure justice, and to prevent the foreclosure of her family's estate, Zamora -- in the guise of a highwayman -- embarks upon a dangerous journey where honor, love, and revenge are fulfilled at the point of a sword.

Download or read book The Processes of Politics and the Rule of Law written by Peter Linehan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third volume of essays by Peter Linehan deals with matters of perennial interest to all historians of medieval Church and State, and in particular to students of the history of medieval Spain and Portugal and of the papacy in the 12th and 13th centuries. Amongst those discussed and explored are the question of feudalism in the 11th and 12th century, the rise and fall of a royal capital, the city of León, the ritual of king-making, focusing on Castile and Portugal, the interplay of royal influence and papal authority, and the impact of the mendicant orders. A previously unpublished study provides a cautionary tale of a particular bishop in politics. Four essays are devoted to the investigation of individuals and issues central to the history of late 13th-century papal Rome, while two look at medieval and modern historiography.
Download or read book A Cloister on Trial written by Dr Gabriella Erdélyi and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-10-28 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1517, the usually tranquil friary in Körmend, Hungry found itself at the centre of controversy when its Augustinian friars, charged with drunkenness, sexual abuses and liturgical negligence, were driven out and replaced with Franciscans. Based on the surviving interrogations of a papal enquiry into these events, this book illuminates the tensions that lurked within the religious culture of a seemingly unremarkable town. By focussing on the trial documents, the book reveals the spaces of individual and communal action within the dynamic of lay-clerical relations negotiated in a friary reform at the beginning of the 16th century.
