Abstract

Mary Magdalene, Iconographic Studies from the Middle Ages to the Baroque examines the iconographic inventions in Magdalene imagery and the contextual factors that shaped her representation in visual art from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries. Unique to other saints in the medieval lexicon, images of Mary Magdalene were altered over time to satisfy the changing needs of her patrons as well as her audience. By shedding light on the relationship between the Magdalene and her patrons, both corporate and private, as well as the religious institutions and regions where her imagery is found, this anthology reveals the flexibility of the Magdalene’s character in art and, in essence, the reinvention of her iconography from one generation to the next.

Abstract

Mary Magdalene is a key figure in the history of Christianity. After Mary, the mother of Jesus, she remains the most important female saint in her guise both as primary witness to the resurrection and 'apostle of the apostles'. This volume, the first major work on the Magdalene in more than thirty years, focuses on her 'lives' as these have been imagined and reimagined within Christian tradition. Philip Almond expertly disentangles the numerous narratives that have shaped the story of Mary over the past two millennia. Exploring the 'idea' of the Magdalene - her cult, her relics, her legacy - the author deftly peels back complex layers of history and myth to reveal many different Maries, including penitent prostitute; demoniac; miracle worker; wife and lover of Jesus; symbol of the erotic; and New Age goddess. By challenging uniform or homogenised readings of the Magdalene, this absorbing new book brings fascinating insights to its subject.

Abstract

"Moving with the Magdalen is a turning point for the study of Mary Magdalen in late medieval society. It brings together a corpus of late medieval wall paintings and altarpieces that speak to devotional life in Alpine parishes, grounding our attention in the rural rather than the urban. The Alps may seem remote, but Mary Magdalen was rock steady for residents and travellers alike who traversed its valleys and passes. This book reveals what made the saint so popular in the mountains and how the artworks were interconnected, whilst assessing the quality of their relationship to the cult's origins in the West, especially her tomb and grotto in Provence. The seven chapters explore the role art played in localizing the saint without any sacrifice of her universal appeal. To this end it argues for decentralization - each rural site is singular in its meaning yet is part of a larger network. Mary Magdalen moves into the mountains and is given new meaning. In doing so, the Alps are repositioned as both bridge and creative ground for the cult of this powerful saint, as a site of transformation on the late medieval map of devotion."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

Examining innovations in Mary Magdalene imagery in northern art 1430 to 1550, Penny Jolly explores how the saints widespread popularity drew upon her ability to embody oppositions and embrace a range of paradoxical roles: sinner-prostitute and saint, erotic seductress and holy prophet. Analyzing paintings by Rogier van der Weyden, Quentin Massys, and others, Jolly investigates artists and audiences responses to increasing religious tensions, expanding art markets, and changing roles for women. Using cultural ideas concerning the gendered and pregnant body, Jolly reveals how dress confirms the Magdalenes multivalent nature. In some paintings, her gowns opening laces betray her wantonness yet simultaneously mark her as Christs spiritually pregnant Bride; elsewhere undress reconfirms her erotic nature while paradoxically marking her penitence; in still other works, exotic finery expresses her sanctity while celebrating Antwerps textile industry. New image types arise, as when the saint appears as a lovesick musician playing a lute or as a melancholic contemplative, longing for Christ. Some depictions emphasize her intercessory role through innovative pictorial strategies that invite performative viewing or relate her to the mythological Pandora and Italian Renaissance Neoplatonism. Throughout, the Magdalenes ambiguities destabilize readings of her imagery while engaging audiences across a broad social and religious spectrum.

Abstract

This book focuses on the 'Gospel of Mary' in the context of a broader analysis of early Christian dialogue gospels - a popular literary genre used to present Jesus as conversing with select disciples and answering a series of questions on life, death and the cosmos at the conclusion of his earthly career. Jesus' teachings in these texts can vary greatly, from affirming the resurrection of the flesh to denying it completely. This book highlights the diversity of perspective within this genre, bringing together New Testament, 'gnostic' and (proto-)orthodox texts. Yet each text is based on the premise that it contains new or clarified teaching from the risen or glorified Lord, often in the form of a final revelation concerned with the disciples' eschatological salvation. This book offers a fresh and in-depth analysis of the 'Gospel of Mary' in the context of the dialogue gospel genre, concentrating on the narrative frame, the eschatological teachings, and the relationship between the two.
