Abstract

The present book is dedicated to one main aspect of the Marian cult: it investigates the historical process that made Mary, mother of Jesus, the most prominent intercessor across the Byzantine Empire at the end of Iconoclasm (843). The study touches religious and social issues, it refers only to contemporary ideas and sources and distinguishes itself consciously from later mariological concepts.

Abstract

In Emotion and Devotion Miri Rubin explores the craft of the historian through a series of studies of medieval religious cultures. In three original chapters she approaches the medieval figure of the Virgin Mary with the aim of unravelling meaning and experience. Hymns and miracle tales, altarpieces and sermons – a wide range of sources from many European regions – are made to reveal the creativity and richness which they elicited in medieval people, women and men, clergy and laity, people of status and riches as well as those of modest means.

Abstract

This book is open access under a CC BY-NC-ND license. This book reveals exciting early Christian evidence that Mary was remembered as a powerful role model for women leaders—women apostles, baptizers, and presiders at the ritual meal. Early Christian art portrays Mary and other women clergy serving as deacon, presbyter/priest, and bishop. In addition, the two oldest surviving artifacts to depict people at an altar table inside a real church depict women and men in a gender-parallel liturgy inside two of the most important churches in Christendom—Old Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome and the second Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. Dr. Kateusz’s research brings to light centuries of censorship, both ancient and modern, and debunks the modern imagination that from the beginning only men were apostles and clergy.

Abstract

This book examines women's relationship to the Virgin Mary in two different cultural and religious contexts, and compares how these relationships have been analyzed and explained on a theological and a sociological level. The figure of the Virgin Mary is a divisive one in our modern culture. To some, she appears to be a symbol of religious oppression, while to others, she is a constant comfort and even an inspiration towards empowerment. Drawing on the author's own ethnographic research among Catholic Costa Rican women and Orthodox Finnish women, this study relates their experiences with Mary to the folklore and popular religion materials present in each culture. The book combines not only different social and religious frameworks but also takes a critical look at ways in which feminists have (mis)interpreted the meaning of Mary for women. It therefore combines theological and ethnographic methods in order to create a feminist Marian theology that is particularly attentive to women's lived religious practices and theological thinking. This study provides a unique ethnographically informed insight into women's religious interactions with Mary. As such, it will be of great interest to those researching in religious studies and theology, gender studies, Latin American studies, anthropology of religion, and folklore studies.

Abstract

The Virgin Mary assumed a position of central importance in Byzantium. This book examines her portrayal in liturgical texts during the first six centuries of Byzantine history. Focusing on three main literary genres that celebrated this holy figure, it highlights the ways in which writers adapted their messages for different audiences. Mary is portrayed variously as defender of the imperial city, Constantinople, virginal Mother of God, and ascetic disciple of Christ. Preachers, hymnographers, and hagiographers used rhetoric to enhance Mary's powerful status in Eastern Christian society, depicting her as virgin and mother, warrior and ascetic, human and semi-divine being. Their paradoxical statements were based on the fundamental mystery that Mary embodied: she was the mother of Christ, the Word of God, who provided him with the human nature that he assumed in his incarnation. Dr Cunningham's authoritative study makes a major contribution to the history of Christianity.

Abstract

La Conception de Marie était célébrée en Normandie le 8 décembre depuis le Moyen Âge, en dépit d'âpres discussions théologiques qui trouvèrent leur terme au xixe siècle. La dévotion induisit, aux xve et xvie siècles, une remarquable efflorescence artistique : concours de poésie lors de la « Feste du Puy » des palinods à Rouen, vitraux chatoyants et sculptures, images d'une piété mariale renouvelée au xixe siècle, exaltant la beauté de Marie pour manifester son Immaculée Conception. Les auteurs, historiens et spécialistes de la littérature et des arts, analysent textes et images, invitant, pour comprendre la « Fête aux Normands », à se tourner vers l'Orient byzantin et l'Angleterre, vers le Puy d'Amiens et la « Fête des Lumières » à Lyon. Pluralité de regards pour découvrir et décrypter des pratiques sociales et religieuses dans la longue durée.

Abstract

In der Geschichte des geistlichen Liedes nehmen marianische Hymnen und Sequenzen eine zentrale Stellung ein. Neben die lateinische Dichtung, die liturgisch fest verankert ist, treten seit dem frühen Mittelalter zunehmend volkssprachliche Übersetzungen, die das in ihren lateinischen Vorlagen enthaltene Marienbild adaptieren, modifizieren und transformieren. Nicht nur sprachliche und stilistische Eigenheiten spielen hier eine Rolle, sondern auch der eigene frömmigkeitsgeschichtliche Kontext, sich wandelnde Gebrauchssituationen und variierende mediale Bedingungen. Der Tagungsband versammelt ein breites Spektrum von Beiträgen unterschiedlicher geisteswissenschaftlicher Fachrichtungen, die sich mit diesen Umformungs- und Aneignungsprozessen auseinandersetzen. Die Poetik der marianischen Texte findet dabei ebenso Beachtung wie ihr performatives Potential, ihre liturgische und musikalische Innovationskraft und ihre Verwandtschaft mit anderen religiösen Kommunikationsformen wie dem Gebet. Neben anonymen Übertragungen werden ebenso die Übersetzungen von namentlich bekannten Autoren wie Heinrich Laufenberg oder dem Mönch von Salzburg in den Blick genommen. Die behandelte Zeitspanne reicht vom hohen Mittelalter bis zum 16. Jahrhundert.
