The Augustinian canons of St. Ursus : reform, identity, and the practice of place in Medieval Aosta

Kaufman, Cheryl Lynn 06 July 2011 (has links)
This dissertation studies a local manifestation of ecclesiastical reform in the medieval county of Savoy: the twelfth-century transformation of secular canons into Augustinian regular canons at the church of Sts. Peter and Ursus in the alpine town of Aosta (now Italy). I argue that textual sources, material culture, and the practice of place together express how the newly reformed canons established their identity, shaped their material environment, and managed their relationship with the unreformed secular canons at the cathedral. The pattern of regularization in Aosta—instigated by a new bishop influenced by ideas of canonical reform—is only one among several models for implementing reform in medieval Savoy. This study asserts the importance of this medieval county as a center for reforming efforts among a regional network of churchmen, laymen, and noblemen, including the count of Savoy, Amadeus III (d. 1148). After a prologue and introduction, chapter 1 draws on traditional textual evidence to recount the history of reform in medieval Savoy. Chapters 2 through 4 focus on the twelfth-century sculpted capitals in the cloister built to accommodate the common life of the new regular canons. Several of the historiated capitals portray the biblical siblings, Martha and Mary, and Leah and Rachel, as material metaphors that reflect and reinforce the active and contemplative lives of the Augustinian canons. Other capitals represent the regular canons’ assertion of their precedence over the cathedral canons and suggest tensions between the two communities. The final chapter examines thirteenth-century conflicts over bell-ringing and ecclesiastical processions in the urban topography of Aosta to illustrate how the regular and secular canons continued to negotiate their relationship. Appendices include an English translation of a vita of St. Ursus (BHL 8453). The dissertation as a whole reconstructs the places and material culture of medieval Aosta to convey the complexities of religious and institutional life during a time of reform and beyond. / text

La diffusion de l'art du second atelier de sculpture de Silos dans le nord de l' Espagne / The diffusion of the art of the Second Master of Santo Domingo de Silos in the Northern Spanish Romanesque sculpture

Charette, Charlotte de 21 January 2014 (has links)
Dans le dernier tiers du XIIe siècle, la sculpture romane espagnole connaît un renouvellement de grande ampleur qui aboutit à la création de véritables chefs-d’œuvre et suscite une production d’une exceptionnelle fécondité. Au monastère de Silos eurent lieu à cette époque d’importantes transformations, au cours desquelles intervint un des plus grands sculpteurs de la période : le Second Maître de Silos. Celui-ci, fut, avec Maître Mathieu à Compostelle, le principal inspirateur d’un vaste courant de sculptures qui envahit tout le Nord de l’Espagne, à la fin du XIIe et au début du XIIIe siècle. La prospérité que connaît alors le pays entraîne en effet un développement considérable de l’activité architecturale. En Aragon, en Navarre, en Vieille-Castille, les sculpteurs espagnols s’inspirèrent des grands maîtres et décorèrent jusque dans les années 1200-1210, un grand nombre de monuments alors en chantier. De cette abondante production se dégagent d’importants pôles régionaux, qui apparaissent comme des relais de l’art de Silos : c’est le cas notamment pour Burgo de Osma, Soria, Estella ou Tudela. Ce renouvellement de la sculpture concerne aussi bien de grands ensembles, comme les cloîtres et les grandes façades, que des productions plus modestes, églises rurales ou petits reliefs. Ce travail visait à déterminer dans ces sculptures ce qui provient de Silos, de Compostelle ou d’ailleurs. Cela nous a permis d’émettre des hypothèses sur les chemins de diffusion de l’art du second Maître de Silos. La domination de l’art de Silos paraît claire dans les régions les plus proches du monastère, c’est-à-dire dans la meseta castillane. Dans les anciens évêchés de Burgos et d’Osma, l’empreinte de Silos est des plus prégnantes, et marque durablement les artistes, qui deviennent à leur tour des relais de l’art de Silos, qui se diffuse ainsi dans les régions voisines. Dans les zones plus éloignées du monastère castillan, la propagation de l’art de Silos est parfois plus complexe à déterminer, car s’y mêlent des éléments venus d’ailleurs, de Compostelle, notamment, ou des influences locales. / At the end of the 12th century, the Spanish Romanesque sculpture knows a great renewal, which leads to the creation of true masterpieces. In Santo Domingo de Silos, one of the greatest sculptor of the time, the Second Master creates one of the most beautiful example of Romanesque sculpture. With Maître Mathieu, he is the principal initiator of a vast movement, which spread over the entire Northern Spain. At this time, the prosperity of the country involves an important development of the architectural activity. In Aragon, Navarra, Castile, Spanish sculptors take inspiration from the great masters and carry out the decoration of many monuments. They work in Burgo de Osma, Soria, Estella, Tudela, in cloisters and cathedrals, but in small churches as well. This research tries to determinate how the art of the Second Master of Silos spread over in the latest Romanesque sculpture of Spain.
