Abstract

Hugh of Amiens (c. 1085-1164) was an important intellectual figure in the twelfth century who, during a long lifetime, served as a cleric, Cluniac monk, abbot and archbishop of Rouen. This book examines his writings to uncover the theological preoccupations of the period, particularly the development of systematic theology and views on the differences between the monastic and clerical ways of life.

Abstract

This volume examines the cult of the saints and their associated literature in two peripheral regions of Christendom that were converted to Christianity around the turn of the first millennium, namely, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. The thirteen authors focus on how cultures of sanctity were transmitted across the two regions and on the role that neighbouring Christian countries like England, Germany, and Byzantium played in that process. The authors also ask to what extent the division between Latin Christianity and Eastern Orthodoxy affected the early development of the cult of saints on the two peripheries. The first part of the book offers for the first time a comprehensive overview of the veneration of local and universal saints in Scandinavia and northern Rus’ from c. 1000 to c. 1200, with a particular emphasis on saints who were venerated in both regions. The second part presents examples of how some early hagiographic works produced on the northern and eastern peripheries borrowed, adapted, and transformed — i.e. contextualized — literary traditions from the Latin West and Byzantium.

Abstract

This work explores how twelfth-century Cistercian monks maintained their tradition of social withdrawal yet still played a pivotal political role in the world outside their monasteries. It argues that the Cistercians' political behaviour was neither a betrayal of their monastic ideal nor evidence of some inherent Cistercian paradox, but that such public involvement grew out of the monks' conception of their monastic life, notably the cluster of ideas associated with Christian love, or caritas. Skilfully integrating the religious, political, and economic components of Cistercian culture, the author shows that the boundaries of Cistercian monasteries were never impermeable to outside life. She reveals how Caritas provided an underpinning for the Cistercians' view of a Church bound by the spiritual progress of its members and explains the activities of those men who left their monasteries to enact this vision in the society around them.

Abstract

Die Hofkapelle gilt in der Mediävistik seit Langem als Herrschaftsinstrument des mittelalterlichen Königs: Durch ihre vielfältigen Aufgaben im Bereich von Kanzlei, Verwaltung und Diplomatie standen die Kapläne zur Ausübung der königlichen Herrschaft dauerhaft zur Verfügung. Anders als von der Forschung bisher angenommen, entwickelte sich im 12. und 13. Jahrhundert im Königreich Sizilien jedoch keine Hofkapelle, die diese Kennzeichen erfüllte. Das Tätigkeitsspektrum der Kapläne berührte zwar die genannten Bereiche, doch erfolgte ihr Einsatz auf diesen Gebieten weder systematisch noch ausschließlich. Insbesondere die an den Hofkirchen ansässigen Kapläne verfügten über eigenständige Handlungsmöglichkeiten, die sich vollkommen losgelöst von der direkten königlichen Herrschaftsausübung vollzogen. Entscheidendes Kriterium dafür, dass ein Kaplan für den Herrscherdienst herangezogen wurde, war nicht seine Stellung an sich; ausschlaggebend waren seine individuellen Fähigkeiten, Erfahrungen und Kontakte. Nicht auf der großen politischen Bühne erschließt sich daher die Bedeutung der Kapläne, sondern in einem regionalen und persönlich-informellen Bereich, in dem die sizilischen Kapläne auch unabhängig von den normannischen und staufischen Herrschern nachhaltig wirken konnten.
