How did the least educated rows of the clergy get in touch with basic and more subtle religious teachings? Access to literacy was not the rule in the Early Middle Ages, but rather the exception. However, even the lowest rows of the Church were expected to be able to take care of their parishes. Therefore, the clergy was expected to be provided a certain knowledge. Oral transmission might have played the most important role in the formation of the lowest clergy. Still, several compositions have survived which might have also served this aim. These are rather simple, hardly original texts with friendly displays and oversimplified approaches to central matters of the Christian faith. Most of such compositions do not reach the highest standards of the time – nor do they attempt to do so. Yet, they are not mere personal notes for private use. They were surely meant to be circulated and to last – as they apparently did. This volume collects some of these texts, which appear to be related with one another in different ways. The collection, however, is not and could not be intended to be complete.

Comprising forty-two selections from primary source materials, each translated with an introduction and commentary by a specialist in the field, this collection illustrates the religious cycles, rituals, and experiences that gave meaning to medieval Christian individuals and communities. The texts represent the practices through which Christians conducted their individual, family, and community lives and explore such life-cycle events as birth, confirmation, marriage, sickness, death, and burial. The texts also document religious practices related to themes of work, parish life, and devotions, as well as power and authority.--From publisher's description

Publié sans doute dans les toutes dernières années d’Ambroise, le traité Sur la fuite du siècle est une méditation sur la fuite spirituelle loin du monde terrestre. Cette fuite répond à un idéal, l’aspiration de l’âme à s’élever vers Dieu. Elle emprunte des formes variées, de l’érémitisme au retrait en soi-même, en passant par l’appartenance à une communauté d’ascètes. Le traité d’Ambroise est le premier à aborder un thème spirituel majeur pour l’Occident, dont l’influence sur la vie chrétienne culmine au Moyen Âge dans les traités monastiques sur le « mépris du monde ». Ambroise puise dans des traditions intellectuelles diverses, de la philosophie platonicienne à l’exégèse allégorique du juif Philon d’Alexandrie, pour les refondre à la lumière de l’écriture. Le traité d’Ambroise trouve ici sa première édition critique depuis plus d’un siècle, fondée sur une large base manuscrite qui en renouvelle le texte. C’est aussi la première fois qu’il est traduit en français. Camille Gerzaguet, actuellement pensionnaire de la Fondation Th iers (CNRS) et membre de l’équipe des Sources Chrétiennes, a consacré sa thèse à Ambroise de Milan et à son traité sur La fuite du siècle.

The cult of domesticity has often been linked to the privatization of religion and the idealisation of the motherly ideal of the "angel in the house". This book revisits the Christian home of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and sheds new light on the stereotypical distinction between the private and public spheres and their habitants. Emphazing the importance of patriarchal domesticity during the period and the frequent blurring of boundaries between the Christian home and modern society, the case studies included in this volume call for a more nuanced understanding of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Christian ideas on family, religion, and the home.
