This book was released on 2011-02-14 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of mendicancy as it developed among various religious orders during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries is the subject of considerable debate. In spite of this, little in the way of a comprehensive review of the phenomenon as a whole has been undertaken. What has been done has either been order-specific (with an emphasis on the Friars Minor) or has focused on points of special conflict regarding the mendicant ideal (University debates, Spiritual Franciscans). Little work exists on the roots of mendicancy, or on the creative ways in which mendicancy was understood (and deprecated) in various quarters. Few studies try to bring together both the theory and practice of religious mendicancy. The effect that events had in molding and changing the mendicant ideal is also often neglected, as are the ways in which it was independently and creatively appropriated by individuals and groups. Needless to say, all of this is strange for a movement that most are content to label “Mendicant.” Perhaps it may even be the case that “mendicancy” is not useful as a descriptive concept. The purpose and intention of this handbook is to offer an analysis of the term and to present an up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to the phenomenon of religious mendicancy in the central and later middle ages. It provides a contextualized guide that will introduce the central issues in contemporary scholarship regarding the mendicant orders. This project approaches the controversies from a multitude of angles and unites in one volume the insights of different disciplines such as social and intellectual history, literary analysis, and theology. The present work is divided into three main sections, I) The origins and foundations of medieval mendicancy, II) The development and articulation of mendicant ideals, III) The reception and appropriation of mendicancy in the middle ages. The chapters herein serve as a solid point of departure for advanced students and scholars.
Download or read book Medievalia et Humanistica No 36 written by Paul Maurice Clogan and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-16 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its founding in 1943, Medievalia et Humanistica has won worldwide recognition as the first scholarly publication in America to devote itself entirely to medieval and Renaissance studies. Since 1970, a new series, sponsored by the Modern Language Association of America and edited by an international board of distinguished scholars and critics, has published interdisciplinary articles. In yearly hardcover volumes, the new series publishes significant scholarship, criticism, and reviews treating all facets of medieval and Renaissance culture: history, art, literature, music, science, law, economics, and philosophy. Volume 36—Reviews—emphasizes new research in the field, with a particular focus on work from emerging scholars. Thus, this volume includes twenty-four reviews and three review articles of recent scholarly publications, along with five original articles. The first article “The Ultimate Transgression of the Courtly World” by Albrecht Classen analyzes German texts and melodies to reveal the social strife between the lower and upper classes. John Garrison’s essay “One Mind, One Heart, One Purse,” referencing the text Troilus and Criseyde, suggests that a medieval treatise on friendship is appropriate and engaging. Offering a solution to one of history’s most vexing problems is John Bugbee’s essay “Solving Dorigen Trilemma” by examining the tension between oath and law in the Franklin’s and Physician’s Tales. Karen Green’s essay “What Were the Ladies in the City Reading? The Libraries of Christine de Pizaan’s Contemporaries” provides a clearer insight into the intellect of Christine and her colleagues. Along with these articles, twenty-four reviews, from the United States and all over the world, are included, truly making Medievalia et Humanistica an international publication. To reflect the submissions and audience for Medievalia et Humanistica, the editorial and review boards have been expended to include ten members from the United States and ten international

Download or read book Fran ois d Assise vu par les compagnons written by Jacques Dalarun and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mort en 1226, canonisé en 1228, François d'Assise bénéficia dès 1229 d'une biographie officielle, rédigée par Thomas de Celano sur ordre de Grégoire IX. Dans la décennie qui suivit, la légende fut déclinée sous de multiples formes, sans que surgissent d'informations réellement neuves sur l'Assisiate. Il fallut attendre 1240/1241 pour qu'un récit, qu'on appela l'Anonyme de Pérouse et qui s'intitule en fait Du commencement de l'Ordre, vienne offrir des renseignements inédits sur François. En 1244, les autorités de l'Ordre demandèrent aux frères de réunir tout ce qu'ils pouvaient savoir sur le fondateur. En 1246, de Greccio, trois compagnons, Léon, Rufin et Ange, adressèrent au ministre général une lettre qui accompagnait le résultat de leur collecte. Ils disent s'être appuyés, entre autres, sur le témoignage d'un frère Jean, compagnon de Gilles, qui n'est autre que l'auteur Du commencement. Dans le paquet qui suivait la lettre figurait la Légende des trois compagnons : elle englobait le témoignage de Jean, mais apportait des éléments neufs que seul avait pu fournir un proche compagnon de François, comme lui citoyen d'Assise. Dans la collection " Sources franciscaines " où vient d'être livrée l'intégralité de l'oeuvre de Thomas de Celano dédiée à François, il a paru salutaire de donner sans délai un autre point de vue, celui d'une partie des compagnons. Les deux textes principaux du présent volume ont connu des fortunes contraires. Rédigé dans un latin élémentaire, Du commencement eut une infime diffusion et faillit bien être oublié. De plus haute facture, la Légende des trois compagnons fut largement diffusée, mais le doute a plané un moment sur son authenticité. Aujourd'hui, ces deux textes apparaissent comme des témoignages indispensables à la connaissance historique de François d'Assise : avant tout parce qu'ils offrent des éclairages sans équivalent sur sa jeunesse et sa première fraternité ; mais aussi parce qu'ils livrent le point de vue de proches compagnons qui, face aux évolutions du temps, défendirent avec passion une certaine idée de l'Ordre des Frères mineurs et de son fondateur.
