The Harp of Glory is a major hymn sounding the praises of the Theotokos, from the heart of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in its Golden Age. It is a text hardly known in the Orthodox or Western churches, even though it is truly a religious and literary treasure of world significance. It approaches closely to the character and genius of the Byzantine Akathist to the Mother of God (which it seems to know in part) but is so profoundly rooted in a different indigenous experience that it surely deserves the title of "An African Akathist." This beautiful lyrical poem will be of interest to all who follow the rise of biblical exegesis in the ancient church, and forms of the great devotion to the Mother of God that is characteristic of the eastern churches. It is also an exquisitely crafted love song to the Virgin (troubadour style), from a monk scholar-musician wandering the highlands of Ethiopia, long ago

A force de paroles, il se fait au monde beaucoup d'obscurité. Mais il est une obscurité d'obsidienne, transparente celle-là, que donne la Parole, et c'est celle-là que l'on cherche ici. Commenter l'Ecriture est trop dire : annoter suffit. On ne trouvera ici que des annotations, comme des étincelles surgies du brasier du Verbe. Il s'écrit de par le monde beaucoup de textes, mais combien asphyxient l'âme de ceux qui les lisent, faute d'interstices ! Combien expirent, faute d'avoir laissé la parole à la Parole, et à ce Silence consubstantiel qui lui sert à la fois d'ambassade et de suite ? C'est pourquoi le texte des étincelles est aéré, ajouré. Leur unité de lieu est la cellule (celui qui les écrit voit tout de sa fenêtre qui résume l'espace autant qu'elle rassérène le regard) : leur unité de temps est, d'un avent à l'autre, cet an de grâce qu'il faut au Mystère pour se dérouler, pour nous enrouler à Soi, peu à peu, jusqu'à ce que nous basculions pour de bon dans cet Instant unique où tout est simultané, où tous sont contemporains, Intra in gaudium Domini tui (Mt XXV, 21). Alors il y aura de la joie dans le ciel (Lc 15, 7) : le livre d'étincelles aura transmis le Feu.

Affective meditation on the Passion was one of the most popular literary genres of the high and later Middle Ages. Proliferating in a rich variety of forms, these lyrical, impassioned, script-like texts in Latin and the vernacular had a deceptively simple goal: to teach their readers how to feel. They were thus instrumental in shaping and sustaining the wide-scale shift in medieval Christian sensibility from fear of God to compassion for the suffering Christ. Affective Meditation and the Invention of Medieval Compassion advances a new narrative for this broad cultural change and the meditative writings that both generated and reflected it. Sarah McNamer locates women as agents in the creation of the earliest and most influential texts in the genre, from John of F camp's Libellus to the Meditationes vitae Christi, thus challenging current paradigms that cast the compassionate affective mode as Anselmian or Franciscan in origin. The early development of the genre in women's practices had a powerful and lasting legacy. With special attention to Middle English texts, including Nicholas Love's Mirror and a wide range of Passion lyrics and laments, Affective Meditation and the Invention of Medieval Compassion illuminates how these scripts for the performance of prayer served to construct compassion itself as an intimate and feminine emotion. To feel compassion for Christ, in the private drama of the heart that these texts stage, was to feel like a woman. This was an assumption about emotion that proved historically consequential, McNamer demonstrates, as she traces some of its legal, ethical, and social functions in late medieval England.

De kerk is in onze contreien op sterven na dood, maar tienduizenden Vlamingen hebben hun geloof allesbehalve afgezworen. In kapellen, bedevaartsoorden, volkse processies, vaak bizarre heiligdommetjes en grotten: daar worden de christelijke tradities en rituelen met nooit geziene ijver en overgave beoefend. Journalist Marnix Peeters trok een jaar lang door deze (sub)cultuur en bezocht een honderdtal van die schemerplekken.
