Thesis (Ph. D.)--Bryn Mawr College, 1938. / Vita.

Transubstantiation and the cult of Corpus Christi became crucial Counter-Reformation symbols which were assigned an even more significant role during the process of Catholic renewal from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth century. Practices outside Mass, such as pilgrimages, processions, and prayers in front of the consecrated host flourished, in particular, in early modern Bavaria. The former Duchy of Bavaria has generally been regarded as the archetypal ‘confessional' state, as the Bavarian dukes from the House of Wittelsbach took the lead in propagating the cult of the Eucharist. They acted as patrons of Baroque Catholicism which was presented to the public as an obvious visual marker of Catholic identity. This study therefore investigates how the Eucharist was popularised in the Catholic duchy between 1550 and 1750, focusing on three major themes: pilgrimages, confraternities, and the Corpus Christi procession. This study does not, however, approach the renewal of Catholicism in terms of a top-down process implemented by the Wittelsbach dukes as a method of stately power and control. Rather than arguing in favour of a state-sponsored piety imposed from above, this work explores the formation of Catholic confessional identity as a two-way-process of binding together elite and popular piety, and emphasizes the active role of the populace in constituting this identity. This is why this investigation draws primarily on research from local archives, using a rich body of both textual and visual evidence. Focusing especially on the visual aspects of Catholic piety, this project works towards an interdisciplinary approach in order to understand the ways in which Eucharistic devotion outside Mass was presented to and received by local communities within particular visual environments.

L’objectif de la thèse était de réaliser la première édition critique du manuscrit français 9198 de la BnF attribué à Jehan Miélot et commandité, au XVe siècle, par Philipe le Bon, duc de Bourgogne. Ce manuscrit contient la compilation intitulée : La Vie et miracles de Nostre Dame qui constitue la mise en prose de miracles en vers du XIIIe siècle. D’un point de vue philologique, le but était d’étudier le rapport entre les formes des textes versifiés en ancien français et les formes en moyen français de la compilation. Le travail philologique comprend la transcription du manuscrit, un apparat critique, un glossaire, un index lemmatisé, l’index des noms propres et une analyse grammaticale des traits dialectaux de l’œuvre qui reflètent la phonétique du dialecte picard. La problématique sur laquelle repose cette recherche est double. D’un point de vue philologique, il est question d’éclairer le rapport entre les formes anciennes, qu’offrent les textes versifiés en ancien français du XIIIe siècle, et les formes modernes en moyen français du recueil de Jehan Miélot. En puisant des exemples à la fois dans les récits de miracles versifiés du XIIIe siècle et dans la compilation du XVe siècle, cette étude permet de situer le recueil dans le contexte de la tradition médiévale des récits miraculaires de la Vierge Marie

The thesis aims to answer the following question: how did the relationships people had with Thomas Cantilupe, Bishop of Hereford between 1275 and 1282, shape the nature of his posthumous cult? The thesis rejects the idea that the veneration of saints in medieval England was politically neutral, or that their cults represented a stable, uncontentious means of resolving social discord. Instead, it posits that the invocation and memorialisation of Cantilupe was an intrinsically political act, and one that was available to ordinary people; these memories were formulated through their personal experiences of life in thirteenth century Hereford, and the people and institutions that populated it. These arguments are primarily based on evidence drawn from Cantilupe’s canonisation proceedings, particularly records and testimonies of his purported miracles. The first chapter discusses the historiography of saints’ cults in medieval Europe, and how their social function has typically been characterised, and outlines the principal sources for the thesis and how they will be used. The second chapter of this thesis takes the form of a brief biography of Cantilupe’s life and career, with a particular focus on how his actions might have affected the ways different people perceived him after his death. The third chapter enumerates the principal institutions and individuals that exercised power alongside Cantilupe in the diocese, and situates miracle recipients for whom we otherwise have little evidence within these contexts. Chapter four deals with the perspectives generated by Cantilupe’s interactions with the other lay and ecclesiastical authorities that constituted the structures of power in the diocese. Chapter five concerns the attitudes generated through direct experience of Cantilupe himself, or the way in which these attitudes were mediated by someone who did know him personally. Evidence that helps us to establish how ideas about Cantilupe were memorialised is discussed in chapter six.

The methodology used involves bibliographic and empirical field research, with observation and application of a questionnaire to the people who attend the PSP. In the first part, in a first time it is described the concept of liquid modernity by Bauman, as well as its main features, emphasizing the centrality of the individual and the rationality. Then, it is developed a historical path of rationalization, that starts on the enchanted garden from Max Weber and goes to the rationality, there is described by a dual process: the rationalization of religion that begins in the magical world, and the disenchantment of the world. The second one has its starting point in the appearance of the ethic prophecy in the ancient Jewish, and its arrival point in the rationality expressed by Max Weber in his metaphor, the "Iron Cage". In this chapter it is also described the current reality of the religious field, in the context of the instrumental rationality, in which religion is plural and diverse, what is called: return to the sacred . In the second part ,through an inverse movement from magic to rationality, it is described the process of pentecostalização of Protestant and Catholic religion, in its three different stages (waves), since its beginning: the events of Pentecost described in the Acts of the Apostles, from Christian Bible, the founding event of the Protestant Pentecostalism, Azusa Street and the experience lived by Catholics laymen in Dusquene University, Pennsylvania, USA, that it is considered the initial milestone of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement. Finally, in the last part, it is described the acting of Priest X, in PSP, focusing on the processes of curing and release, which happen during the masses celebrated especially for this purpose, in the church and during the annual "Week of Pentecost". In this chapter it is prioritized the analysis of testimonies made by people that attends the church, which demonstrates that the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement is a space of coexistence between tradition and modernity. / A presente dissertação versa sobre o êxito do Movimento da Renovação Carismática Católica e do Pe. X, na Paróquia PSP, envolvendo a oferta de bens simbólicos de cura e de libertação. A metodologia adotada envolve pesquisa bibliografia e de campo empírico, com observação e aplicação de questionário aos fiéis que freqüentam a PSP. Na primeira parte, descrevemos o conceito de modernidade líquida de Bauman, bem como de suas principais características, destacando-se dentre elas a centralidade do indivíduo e a racionalidade. Depois, desenvolvemos uma trajetória histórica do processo de construção da racionalização que vai desde o jardim encantado de Max Weber, cuja característica principal é uma concepção mágica do mundo, indo até a racionalidade moderna, cuja característica principal é o desencantamento do mundo, expressa por Max Weber na sua metáfora, a Jaula de Ferro . Ainda nesse capítulo descrevemos a realidade do campo religioso atual, num contexto de racionalidade instrumental, no qual percebe-se o retorno ao sagrado , e a religião se encontra de forma pluralizada e diversificada. Na segunda parte, destacamos um movimento inverso, que vai da racionalidade à magia. Descrevemos aí o processo de pentecostalização protestante e católica, em suas três fases distintas (ondas), desde suas origens: os acontecimentos de Pentecostes, descrito no livro de Atos dos Apóstolos, na Bíblia Cristã, o evento fundante do pentecostalismo protestante, Azuza Street e a experiência vivida por católicos leigos na Universidade de Dusquene, na Pensilvânia, EUA, considerado o marco inicial do Movimento de Renovação Carismática Católica. Por fim, na última parte, descrevemos a atuação do Pe. X, na PSP, enfocando os processos de cura e libertação que se desencadeiam durante as missas especialmente celebradas para esse fim, tanto na paróquia quanto durante o evento anual Semana de Pentecostes . Nesse capítulo priorizamos a análise dos testemunhos dos fiéis que ali vão e que demonstram ser o Movimento de Renovação Carismática Católica um espaço de convivência da tradição e da modernidade.

In order to do so, we are guided by theoretical methodological assumptions for the analysis of the representations in the present source, according to the aspects of the myth and the Social Imaginary, present in the quotidian of the century. From the revelation of the existence of a sepulcher made in the ninth century, attributed to the disciple who would have been according to the Holy Scriptures, one of the closest of the Messiah, a cult that according to tradition has been forgotten for centuries, would thus have resurfaced. Since then, a series of narratives and the itinerary towards the Galician city, were being written and perfected. At the apogee of the cult of relics in the twelfth century, the Compostela Cathedral under the prelate Diego Gelmírez, there was an extension to the elaboration of these documents aimed at legitimizing the presence of the relics of the apostle in "Hispania", among the most notable of these chronicles, is the Liber Sancti Jacobi or Codex Calixtinus. Based on the narratives present in the codex, information about the presence of James the Greater in the Iberian Peninsula was expanded. Thus, our research developed from the research on the writing and the origin of the tradition of the narratives reproduced in the codex. As well, we turn our attention to the relevance and influence of the pilgrimages to Jerusalem and Rome, primordial to the investigations that investigate the amplitude and importance of the trips and pilgrimages in Average Age. Finally, the attention is directed to the analyzes of the myth of St. James and his miracles narrated in the Liber Sancti Jacobi and their interferences, motivations and inspirations for the construction and promotion of the way of Santiago de Compostela. / Essa dissertação, tem como objetivo principal, tratar a respeito das peregrinações e o culto ao apóstolo Tiago, o Maior em Santiago de Compostela, a partir do Liber Sancti Jacobi, um códice elaborado no século XII, e que encerra em si todas as nuances da reverência destinada ao discípulo na região Galiza. Para tanto, nos direcionamos a partir de pressupostos teóricos metodológicos de análise das representações existentes na fonte em apreço, segundo os aspectos do mito e do Imaginário Social, presentes no cotidiano do século da redação desta. A partir da revelatio da existência de um sepulcro feita no século IX, atribuído ao discípulo que teria sido conforme as Sagradas Escrituras, um dos mais próximos do Messias, um culto que segundo a tradição esteve esquecido por séculos, teria assim, ressurgido. Desde então, uma série de narrativas e o itinerário em direção à cidade galega, foram sendo escritas e aperfeiçoados. No apogeu do culto às relíquias no século XII, a Sé Compostelana sob o prelado D. Diego Gelmírez, houve a ampliação à elaboração desses documentos que visavam a legitimação da presença das relíquias do apóstolo em “Hispania”, dentre as mais notáveis dessas crônicas, encontra-se o Liber Sancti Jacobi ou Codex Calixtinus. Fundamentados nas narrativas presentes no códice, se expandiram as informações sobre a presença de Tiago, o Maior na Península Ibérica. Dessa forma, nossa pesquisa, se desenvolveu a partir da investigação sobre a redação e a origem da tradição das narrativas reproduzidas no códice. Assim como também, voltamos nossa atenção para a relevância e a influência das peregrinações à Jerusalém e à Roma, primordiais às pesquisas que investigam a amplitude e a importância das viagens e peregrinações na Idade Média. Por fim, às atenções são destinadas às análises do mito de São Tiago e dos seus milagres narrados no Liber Sancti Jacobi e suas interferências, motivações e inspirações para a construção e promoção do caminho de Santiago de Compostela.

L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi doctoral és l'edició i l'estudi de la Vida de la sacratíssima verge Maria (València, Nicolau Spindeler, 1494) de Miquel Peres, una de les obres produïdes en el segle d'or valencià i que a hores d'ara encara no compta amb cap edició moderna ni amb estudis que li hagen dedicat una atenció especial. És l'obra més original de les conservades de l'autor, i també la que gaudí d'una major acollida, ja que es reedità diverses vegades tant en el segle XV com en el XVI especialment, i tant en la tradició catalana com en la castellana. Probablement la bona recepció que tingué està directament relacionada amb el context espiritual imperant en l'albada de l'edat moderna, una espiritualitat renovada i de caire intimista que troba en la contemplació devota una de les principals vies d'expressió, i que veiem exemplificada en les pàgines d'aquest volum. Tanmateix, no compten amb cap treball que s'haja ocupat d'editar el text ni d'analitzar-ne la gènesi o la difusió notable de què va gaudir, ja que la producció d'aquest autor ha estat força desatesa. La hipòtesi que motiva aquest treball parteix de la consideració que en els estudis de literatura catalana Miquel Peres no ha estat considerat fins ara com un escriptor de primera línia, i, tanmateix, tant el volum de la seua producció, com les característiques concretes de les seues obres, fan pensar que mereix una reconsideració i un estudi detingut per poder plantejar una revalorització dels seus texts. A través d'aquest treball mirarem de situar la Vida de la sacratíssima verge Maria en el panorama literari i espiritual peninsular, de manera que es pose de manifest l'originalitat que suposà, i que explica l'èxit que se'n seguí, i contribuirem al coneixement de l'activitat literària de la València lletraferida de les darreries de l'edat mitjana i els inicis de l'edat moderna.
