Part Three investigates six major shrines, from Philae's diverse non-Christian devotees to the great pilgrim center of Abu Mina and a Thecla shrine on its route. Part Four looks at such diverse pilgrims' rites as oracles, chant, and stational liturgy, while Part Five brings in Athanasius's and an anonymous hagiographer's perspectives on pilgrimage in Egypt. The volume includes illustrations of the Abu Mina site, pilgrims' ampules from the Thecla shrine, as well as several maps.

Download or read book En r mission des p ch s written by Cyrille Vogel and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The studies by Cyrille Vogel (1919-1982) collected here provide a detailed exposition of the penitential system of the Latin Church and its evolution during the Middle Ages. They complement in this way the general treatment of his books and document the stages of the system's development - from the early forms of Late Antiquity, to the tariffed system that emerged in the early Middle Ages, and its eventual replacement by the practices of modern times. The work is based on the systematic exploitation and analysis of all available sources, archeological as well as literary and hagiographic, and on careful attention to their dating; access to this store of material will now be facilitated by the detailed indexes to the present volume. Les études de Cyrille Vogel (1919-1982) rassemblées ici, sont un exposé détaillé du système pénitenciaire de l’Eglise Latine et de son évolution au cours du moyen âge. Elles viennent ainsi en complément de ses ouvrages et documentent les différents stades du développement de ce système - des premières formes de pénitence non-réitérable durant l’antiquité tardive, au système tarifaire qui fit surface au début du moyan-âge, jusqu’aux pratiques modernes qui finirent par le remplacer. Cet ouvrage repose sur l’exploitation et l’analyse systèmatique de l’ensemble des sources disponibles, archéologiques ainsi que littéraires et hagiographiques, et sur une attention minutieuse quand aux dates qui leur ont été assignées; l’accès à cette source de documentation sera dorénavant facilité par les indexes détaillés contenus dans le présent volume.
Download or read book New Faith in Ancient Lands written by Heleen Murre-van den Berg and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-03-31 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the centuries, the Middle East has held an important place in the religious consciousness of many Christians in West and East. In the nineteenth century, these interests culminated in extensive missionary work of Protestant and Roman Catholic organisations, among Eastern Christians, Muslims and Jews. The present volume, in articles written by an international group of scholars, discusses themes like the historical background of Christian geopiety among Roman Catholics and Protestants, and the internal tensions and conflicting aims of missions and missionaries, such as between nationalist and internationalist interests, between various rival organisations and between conversionalist and civilizational aims of missions in the Ottoman Empire. In a synthetic overview and a comprehensive bibliography an up-to-date introduction into this field is provided.

Download or read book The Old French William of Tyre written by Philip D. Handyside and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William of Tyre's history of the Kingdom of Jerusalem has long been viewed as one of the most useful sources for the Crusades and the Latin East from the beginnings of the First Crusade to William's death shortly before Saladin's conquest of Jerusalem. However, this text was most popular during the medieval period in an Old French translation. In The Old French of William of Tyre Philip Handyside identifies the differences between the Latin and French texts and analyses the translator motives for producing the translation and highlights significant changes that may provide a better understanding of the period in question. Handyside also argues for a complex manuscript tradition that developed across the medieval Mediterranean.
