Challenging the assumption that medieval Catholicism was overly sensual, whilst Protestantism rejected any element of worship appealing to the eye, ear, or nose, this study asks fundamental questions about the relationship between religion and the senses. The book begins with an examination of pre-Reformation beliefs and practices, establishing intellectual views on the senses in fifteenth-century England. Having established the parameters for the role of sense before the Reformation, the second half of the book mirrors these concerns in the post-1520 world, looking at how, and to what degree,

Sensation is the subject of a burgeoning field in the humanities. This volume examines its role in the religious changes and transformations of early modern Europe. Sensation was not only central to the doctrinal disputes of the Reformation, but also critical in shaping new or reformed devotional practices. From this vantage point the book explores the intersections between the world of religion and the spheres of art, music, and literature; food and smell; sacred things and spaces; ritual and community; science and medicine. Deployed in varying, often contested ways, the senses were essential pathways to the sacred. They permitted knowledge of the divine and the universe, triggered affective responses, shaped holy environments, and served to heal, guide, or discipline body and soul. Contributors include Alfred Acres, Barbara Baert, Andrew R. Casper, Wietse de Boer, Sven Dupré, Iain Fenlon, Laura Giannetti, Christine Göttler, Jennifer R. Hammerschmidt, Joseph Imorde, Rachel King, Jennifer Rae McDermott, Walter S. Melion, Matthew Milner, Sarah Joan Moran, Yvonne Petry, and Klaus Pietschmann.

This book explores the role of bodily, sensory experience in early Christianity (first - seventh centuries AD) by focusing on the importance of smell in ancient Mediterranean culture. Following its legalization in the fourth century Roman Empire, Christianity cultivated a dramatically flourishing devotional piety, in which the bodily senses were utilized as crucial instruments of human-divine interaction. Rich olfactory practices developed as part of this shift, with lavish uses of incense, holy oils, and other sacred scents. At the same time, Christians showed profound interest in what smells could mean. How could the experience of smell be construed in revelatory terms? What specifically could it convey? How and what could be known through smell? Scenting Salvation argues that ancient Christians used olfactory experience for purposes of a distinctive religious epistemology: formulating knowledge of the divine in order to yield, in turn, a particular human identity. Using a wide array of Pagan, Jewish, and Christian sources, Susan Ashbrook Harvey examines the ancient understanding of smell through religious rituals, liturgical practices, mystagogical commentaries, literary imagery, homiletic conventions; scientific, medical, and cosmological models; ascetic disciplines, theological discourse, and eschatological expectations. In the process, she argues for a richer appreciation of ancient notions of embodiment, and of the roles the body might serve in religion.

Que peut-on vraiment lire dans les récits médiévaux relatant les émanations et les perceptions des ‘odeurs de sainteté’? Cette expression elle-même fut-elle jamais pleinement signifiante, non pas sublimée en une métaphore toute spirituelle, mais au contraire bien charnelle, et donc partie intégrante d’une culture ? Prenant pour point de départ les récits d’exhalaisons extraordinaires, cet ouvrage s’attache à reconstruire l’importance et la signification qu’ont pu revêtir odeurs et odorat en Europe occidentale, dans la culture et la pensée religieuses, voire même dans l’expérience des hommes et des femmes du haut Moyen Âge, période formatrice s’il en fut. S’appuyant sur un dépouillement systématique des récits hagiographiques, Martin Roch revalorise ces sources, souvent décriées, tout en les confrontant méticuleusement aux textes bibliques et patristiques, aux documents liturgiques, et même aux données archéologiques disponibles. En déplaçant le point de vue de l’odeur miraculeuse à sa perception et aux récits qui en sont faits, l’auteur se tient fermement sur le terrain de l’histoire, de ses sources et de ses méthodes, sans se priver pour autant de dialoguer avec les autres sciences humaines, ou encore la médecine, ou la psychologie. Il démontre ainsi que, par delà les formules littéraires, les approches superficiellement rationalistes ou les effets de mode, les odeurs extraordinaires peuvent être reconnues comme un authentique objet d’histoire.
