During the later part of the 13th century, two female convents of the Dominican order were founded in the realm of Sweden, both in the diocese of Linköping. The Dominican order first came to Sweden as early as in the 1220’s, and the history of the brothers’ convents has been described to a much greater extent – at least up to the end of the 14th century –than the history of the sisters. Therefore, a conclusive history of the female convents is still lacking. In this master thesis, I aim to describe the foundation and the history of the Swedish sisters of the Order of Preachers from around 1270 to the closing of the convents in the Reformation Era, around 1540, and also attempt to clarify who the benefactors of the convents were. In part due to the fervour of the reformators, there is a substantial deficiency when it comes to source material pertaining to the Dominican order’s history in Sweden and especially concerning the sisters’ convents. I will therefore try to compile all available relevant source material, in order to build a comprehensive picture of the history of the convents. This is however not enough when it comes to describing the everyday life of the sisters. To this end, it becomes necessary to partake of research concerning the female convents of the Order of Preachers and the spiritual development in the rest of Europe, mainly in France, Germany and Italy, and compare it to what the Swedish source material can reveal. This research will also be used as a comparison with prominent features in the Swedish convents. Primarily the Swedish source material consists of charters and annals, but there are also some literary sources that will come into consideration. The theoretical framework discusses the possibilities of applying gender theory to the history of the sisters’ convents, furthermore a sociological approach to networks of families as well as any possible mentalities that could have influenced medieval women in their decision to enter a monastery. Certain modern research on Swedish female monasteries of different orders, or with a different historical aim from the one applied in this thesis, will also be discussed. The conclusions reached are that a modified version of gender theory might possibly be applied to the results, furthermore that there were visible connections between the patrons of the convents even though they are difficult to interpret, and that the mentality of women has to be taken into consideration when trying to outline the history of medieval monasteries. Another conclusion is that there still remains a great academic effort to establish and write the history of the Order of Preachers in Sweden in the middle ages, and the Orders’ impact on society, in its entirety.

Trajan conquered Dacia in 106 CE and encouraged one of the largest colonization efforts in the history of the Roman Empire. The new province was rich in natural resources. Immigrants from Dalmatia, Moesia, Noricum, Pannonia, Greece, Syria, Bithynia, Italy, indigenous Dacians, and soldiers from Legio XIII Gemina participated in the extraction of gold from the Apuseni Mountains. The inhabitants of mining settlements around Alburnus Maior and the administrative center Ampelum coexisted under Roman governance but continued to mark their identities in multicultural communities. At Alburnus Maior the presence of wage laborers with access to outside materials and ideas created the opportunity for miners to communicate identity through mediums that have survived. A series of wax tablet legal contracts, altars, and funerary monuments can be combined with recent archaeological data from settlements, burials, and the mines themselves to formulate the broad view necessary to examine the intricacies of group and self-expression. Through this evidence, Alburnus Maior offers a case study for how mobility and colonization in the ancient world could impact identity. Due to the pressures of coping within a multicultural community, miners formed settlements that were central to their daily lives and facilitated the embodiment of state, community, and personal identities. Identity changes over time and can simultaneously communicate several ideas that are hard to categorize. This study approaches this challenge by looking from macro to micro contexts that influenced several expressions of identity. Chapter 2 begins with a historical background that explores the expansion of the Roman Empire and considers how different experiences of conquest influenced the colonists who immigrated to Dacia. The circumstances that led to the massive colonization of Dacia are also considered. Chapter 3 describes how the mines at Alburnus Maior were exploited, who was present, and assesses the impact of state officials, legionaries, and elite entrepreneurs on the formation and expression of state identity through cult, law, and language. The formation of immigrant communities and the working conditions that permeated everyday life at the mines are then considered in the next chapter. Settlement, cult, and religious membership are evaluated for their role in creating and articulating community identities. Chapter 5 then analyzes the personal and sometimes private expression of identity that appears in commemoration, naming conventions, and burial. The three levels of state, community, and personal identities often overlap and collectively show that the hybridization of ideas from several cultures was central to how those at Alburnus Maior negotiated their identity in the Roman Empire.

Heterodox master of liberal arts and theirs discussions with Thomas Aquinas Mgr. Miroslav Severa Summary: The proposed thesis deals with two important issues discussed by Tomas Aquinas in connection with the averroistic controversy that occurred in the second half of the thirteenth century in Paris. The topics are On the eternity of the world and On the unity of intellect. Its author defends the position that concerning the problem On the eternity of the Word is the solution proposed by Thomas Aquinas closer to the position of heterodox masters of liberal arts then to the attitude of some orthodox theologians. The heterodox teaching On the unity of intellect is by Thomas sufficiently disproven. The doctrine of Thomas Aquinas doesn't need to always constitute an irreconcilable antithesis against the attitude of heterodox masters as it is described by some authors. The thesis also deals the two topics on the historical background of the condemnations issued by the Parisian bishop Stephan Tempier in the years 1270 and 1277. Although the heterodox masters of liberal arts are in their philosophizing strongly influenced by the Arab philosopher Averroes theirs position concerning the relationship between fides and ratio is different. Averroes says that when the conflict between reason and revelation occurs than...

Deux questions largement discutées par les médiévistes concernant Boèce de Dacie consistent à savoir quels sont les enjeux de la censure dont ce philosophe fut l'une des principales cibles lors de la condamnation promulguée à Paris en 1277 par l'évêque Étienne Tempier et s'il a effectivement défendu, dans son De aeternitate mundi, une doctrine qualifiée par ces mêmes historiens de « double vérité ». Si cette expression n'a pas été forgée par Étienne Tempier lui-même, on retrouve néanmoins, dans le prologue de la condamnation de 1277, une formulation qui traduit l'esprit de cette expression en affirmant que certains enseignants disaient qu'une même chose est vraie selon la philosophie, mais fausse selon la foi catholique, de sorte que nous sommes en présence de deux vérités contraires. Malgré le consensus établi chez les historiens du XXe siècle voulant que Boèce de Dacie n'ait jamais défendu une telle doctrine, nous pensons que cette question reste d’actualité dans la mesure où le texte lui-même ne semble pas totalement clair en affirmant que si la foi dit vrai absolument, le philosophe dit également vrai, mais de manière relative à ses principes. Or, une telle conception ne va pas sans problème au regard de l’interprétation des principes régissant l’épistémologie de Boèce. Notre recherche a donc pour unique question d'éclaircir et d'élucider cette mise en accusation de « double vérité » au vu de ses différents textes ainsi que les différentes interprétations que son modèle a reçu. / There are two questions widely discussed by the medievalists about Boethius of Dacia. The first consist in knowing what are the stakes of the censorship of which this philosopher was one of the main targets during the condemnation promulgated in Paris in 1277 by the bishop Etienne Tempier. The second ask if Boethius actually uphold, in his De aeternitate mundi, a doctrine qualified by these same historians as ‘‘double truth’’. If this expression was not coined by Etienne Tempier himself, we nevertheless find, in the prologue to the condemnation of 1277, a formulation which translates the spirit of this expression by affirming that certain teachers said that the same thing is true according to philosophy, but false according to the Catholic faith, so that we are in the presence of two contradictory truths. Despite the consensus, established among historians of the twentieth-century, that Boethius of Dacia never defended such a doctrine, we believe that this question remains topical insofar as the text itself does not seem completely clear when it states that if faith absolutely says the truth, the philosopher also says the truth, but in a manner relative to his principles. However, such a conception is not without problems in regard to the interpretation of the principles governing the epistemology of Boethius. The sole question of our research is therefore to clarify and elucidate this indictment of ‘‘double truth’’ in view of its different texts as well as the different interpretations that his model received.
