Visual and the Visionary adds a new dimension to the study of female spirituality, with its nuanced account of the changing roles of images in medieval monasticism from the twelfth century to the Reformation. In nine essays embracing the histories of art, religion, and literature, Jeffrey Hamburger explores the interrelationships between the visual arts and female spirituality in the context of the cura monialium, the pastoral care of nuns. Used as instruments of instruction and inspiration, images occupied a central place in debates over devotional practice, monastic reform, and mystical expression. Far from supplementing a history of art from which they have been excluded, the images made by and for women shaped that history decisively by defining novel modes of religious expression, above all, the relationship between sight and subjectivity. With this book, the study of female piety and artistic patronage becomes an integral part of the general history of medieval art and spirituality

The Arma Christi, the cluster of objects associated with Christ's Passion, was one of the most familiar iconographic devices of European medieval and early modern culture. From the weapons used to torment and sacrifice the body of Christ sprang a reliquary tradition that produced active and contemplative devotional practices, complex literary narratives, intense lyric poems, striking visual images, and innovative architectural ornament. This collection displays the fascinating range of intellectual possibilities generated by representations of these medieval 'objects,' and through the interdisciplinary collaboration of its contributors produces a fresh view of the multiple intersections of the spiritual and the material in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It also includes a new and authoritative critical edition of the Middle English Arma Christi poem known as 'O Vernicle' that takes account of all twenty surviving manuscripts. The book opens with a substantial introduction that surveys previous scholarship and situates the Arma in their historical and aesthetic contexts. The ten essays that follow explore representative examples of the instruments of the Passion across a broad swath of history, from some of their earliest formulations in late antiquity to their reformulations in early modern Europe. Together, they offer the first large-scale attempt to understand the arma Christi as a unique cultural phenomenon of its own, one that resonated across centuries in multiple languages, genres, and media. The collection directs particular attention to this array of implements as an example of the potency afforded material objects in medieval and early modern culture, from the glittering nails of the Old English poem Elene to the coins of the Middle English poem 'Sir Penny,' from garments and dice on Irish tomb sculptures to lanterns and ladders in Hieronymus Bosch's panel painting of St. Christopher, and from the altar of the Sistine Chapel to the printed prayer books of the Reformation.

"Made in Malines! Derrière ce titre qui résonne comme un label commercial se cache une marque ou plutôt toute une série de marques énigmatiques. Elles ont été apposées, autour de 1500, sur des statuettes communément appelées 'poupées malinoises': le M et le blason à trois pals de la ville de Malines mais aussi la marque BRVESEL, les monogrammes I*T, IS, JE, ou encore les noms DOERMAEL, HEINRIC... Deux chercheuses ont uni leurs compétences d'historienne de l'art et de conservatrice-restauratrice de sculptures pour mener une véritable enquête sur cette production florissante dans les Pays-Bas du Sud à la fin de l'époque gothique. Cette étude interdisciplinaire, menée à l'Institut royal du Patrimoine artistique à Bruxelles, nous entraîne sur les traces des ateliers des sculpteurs et des polychromeurs collaborant à la réalisation de ces petits objets destinés à la dévotion privée et dont le succès fut considérable. En attestent le grand nombre d'exemplaires conservés, dont plus de six cents ont été recensés au cours de cette recherche, mais aussi leur exportation notamment vers l'Espagne et le Portugal. Ainsi, Magellan aurait-il emporté une statuette malinoise lors de son grand voyage autour du monde (1519-1521). Toujours très prisées aujourd'hui, ces délicates statuettes au charme indéniable dévoilent ici quelques-uns de leurs secrets."--Page 4 of cover.
