Abstract

Hauptbeschreibung Jakob von Vitrys Vita Marias von Oignies ist eine Schlüsselquelle für Herkunft und Heiligkeitsideal der ersten Beginen, deren leidens- und brautmystisch gestimmte Hingabe an den menschlichen Christus sich als apostolisches Nachfolgestreben und radikale Bußfrömmigkeit ausdrückte. Die deutlich vom Schülerkreis des Petrus Cantor beeinflussten Frauen strebten nach Kirchenreformen in Predigt und Seelsorge, predigten selbst und begleiteten Sterbende und (Lepra-)Kranke, in denen sie den leidenden Christus erkannten, dem sie in dramatischen Ekstasen begegnen und dessen Lei

Abstract

In So Great a Light, So Great a Smoke, Louisa A. Burnham takes us inside the world of a little-known heretical group in the south of France in the early fourteenth century. The Beguins were a small sect of priests and lay people allied to (and sharing many of the convictions of) the Spiritual Franciscans. They stressed poverty in their pursuit of a Franciscan evangelical ideal and believed themselves to be living in the Last Days. By the late thirteenth century, the leaders of the order and the popes themselves had begun to discipline the Spirituals, and by 1317 they had been deemed a heresy. The Beguins refused to accept this situation and began to evade and confront the inquisitorial machine. Burnham follows the lives of nine Beguins as they conceal themselves in cities, construct an "underground railroad," solicit clandestine donations in order to bribe inquisitors, escape from prison, and venerate the burned bones of their martyred fellows as the relics of saints. Their actions brought the Beguins the apocalypse they had long imagined, as the Church's inquisitors pursued them along with the Spirituals and began to arrest them and burn them at the stake. Reconstructing this dramatic history using inquisitorial depositions, notarial records, and the previously unknown Beguin martyrology, Burnham vividly recreates the world in which the Beguins lived and died for their beliefs.

Abstract

In the thirteenth century, Paris was the largest city in Western Europe, the royal capital of France, and the seat of one of Europe's most important universities. In this vibrant and cosmopolitan city, the beguines, women who wished to devote their lives to Christian ideals without taking formal vows, enjoyed a level of patronage and esteem that was uncommon among like communities elsewhere. Some Parisian beguines owned shops and played a vital role in the city's textile industry and economy. French royals and nobles financially supported the beguinages, and university clerics looked to the beguines for inspiration in their pedagogical endeavors. The Beguines of Medieval Paris examines these religious communities and their direct participation in the city's commercial, intellectual, and religious life.Drawing on an array of sources, including sermons, religious literature, tax rolls, and royal account books, Tanya Stabler Miller contextualizes the history of Parisian beguines within a spectrum of lay religious activity and theological controversy. She examines the impact of women on the construction of medieval clerical identity, the valuation of women's voices and activities, and the surprising ways in which local networks and legal structures permitted women to continue to identify as beguines long after a church council prohibited the beguine status. Based on intensive archival research, The Beguines of Medieval Paris makes an original contribution to the history of female religiosity and labor, university politics and intellectual debates, royal piety, and the central place of Paris in the commerce and culture of medieval Europe.

Abstract

"Een groepje geëngageerde katholieke vrouwen begon in 1919 een avontuur. Onder de naam 'Vrouwen van Bethanië' stelden zij zich ten doel mensen op het spoor van God te brengen. De grondlegger van hun beweging was Jacques van Ginneken, pater jezuïet. Gekleed in burger maar gebonden aan geloften vestigden zij zich in de grote steden waar de nood aan een bevrijdende en menslievende God volgens hen het hoogst was. De Vrouwen van Bethanië raakten vertrouwd met jong en oud, arm en rijk, laag- en hoogopgeleiden van alle stromingen en gezindten. Niet alleen in Nederland, ook in Oostenrijk, Rome, de Verenigde Staten en Spanje hebben zij geloofsbegeleiding gegeven en mensen geestelijk en sociaalmaatschappelijk bijgestaan, overtuigd van een heilige ruimte in ieder mens. Naast hun collectieve geschiedenis en spiritualiteit zijn er de minstens zo bijzondere persoonlijke verhalen van de vrouwen. Het zijn krachtige getuigenissen van hoop en vertrouwen, van doorleefde spiritualiteit die inspireert en motiveert." --
