Abstract

Katherine of Alexandria was a major object of devotion within medieval Europe, ranking second only to the Virgin Mary in the canon of female saints. Yet despite her undoubted importance, relatively little is known about the significance and function of her cult within the German-speaking territories that stood at the heart of Europe. Anne Simon's study adds a welcome new interdisciplinary perspective to the study of Saint Katherine and the wider ecclesiastical landscape of a medieval Europe poised on the edge of religious change. Taking as a case study the wealthy and politically influential merchant city of Nuremberg, this book draws on a wide variety of textual and visual sources to explore interrelated themes: the shaping of urban space through the cult of Saint Katherine; her role in the moulding and advertising patrician identity and alliances through cultural patronage; and patrician use of the saint to showcase the city's political, economic, cultural and religious importance at the heart of the Holy Roman Empire. Further , the book reveals the construction of exemplarity in Saint Katherine's legend and miracles and their resonance within the context of the city and the Dominican Convent of Saint Katherine, whose nuns came from the same status-aware, confident patrician elite that so loyally supported successive Emperors. Filling a significant gap in current research, the work has much to offer scholars of medieval history, hagiography, art history, German studies, cultural and urban studies. Hence it not only expands our understanding of Saint Katherine's importance in German-speaking territories, but also adds to the picture of her cult in its European perspective

Abstract

Katherina van Alexandrië was in de Middeleeuwen een van de populairste heiligen in de Lage Landen. Volgens de overlevering was zij beeldschoon en buitengewoon intelligent. Zij liet zich dopen toen zij de hogere waarheid van de christelijke leer had ontdekt. Haar argumenten daarvoor overtuigden zelfs vijftig van de geleerdste mannen van die tijd. Uiteindelijk liet keizer Maxentius haar na talloze martelingen onthoofden. De heilige wordt dikwijls afgebeeld met een zwaard in haar ene hand en een boek in de andere. Naast haar staat gewoonlijk een (gebroken) rad en onder de zoom van haar jurk is soms het gekroonde hoofd van de keizer zichtbaar. Een lange tijd onvindbaar handschrift met een Middelnederlandse versie van Katherina’s vita wordt nu voor het eerst uitgegeven met een hertaling in modern Nederlands en uitvoerig commentaar. De inleiding beschrijft de religieuze en literair-historische achtergronden van de tekst.

Abstract

St Katherine of Alexandria was one of the most popular saints in Medieval Europe. This book constitutes the first interdisciplinary collection of essays to explore her cult and the range of meanings which St Katherine embodied for her devotees. The essays between them consider a wide range of evidence, from visual representations (wall paintings, manuscript illuminations, stained glass, and seals), to literary texts (lives of the saint, prayers, hymns, devotional manuscripts, and breviaries) as well as documentary evidence (wills, chronicles, ecclesiastical records and antiquarian writings) and the physical remains of churches and chapels dedicated to St Katherine. These sources are interpreted as part of wider manifestations of devotion to the saint in England, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Wales. The authors approach the cult from varying disciplinary and methodological perspectives, but all seek to uncover the various religious, social and cultural messages contained within the different versions of St Katherine which these particular texts and contexts offer. The volume as a whole therefore sheds light not only on devotion to St Katherine, but also on a much wider range of issues and ideologies governing the lives of her devotees and the societies in which they lived.
