This thesis focuses on the Celestine monks of France, a largely neglected and distinctive reformed Benedictine congregation, at their apex of growth (c.1350-1450). Based largely within the kingdom of France, but also including key houses in the contiguous territories of Lorraine and the Comtat, they expanded significantly in this period, from four monasteries to seventeen within a hundred years. They also gained independence from the mother congregation in Italy with the coming of the Great Western Schism (1376-1418). The study aims view the French Celestines against the backdrop of a vibrant culture of 'reform' within both the monastic estate (the Observants) and the Church as a whole, as well as the political instability and war in France. It will reveal a congregation alive with the passions of their times and relevant within them. Following an introductory section, chapter 1 will discuss the previously unstudied Vita of the leading French Celestine Jean Bassand (d.1445) in depth and introduce the key themes of the subsequent chapters. Chapter 2 will examine their Constitutions, in the process providing perspective on their hyper-scrupulous understanding of sin and the relation of their statutes to the Christian idea of 'reform'. Chapter 3 will look to anecdotal evidence concerning the quality of their observance in practice, as well the spiritual and moral writings of Pierre Pocquet (d.1408), another important Celestine leader. Chapter 4 will begin to establish how and why the order grew, examining records of benefaction (contemporary martyrologies and charters) as well as taking view of the financial (and in the end, moral) difficulties brought by war through the documents concerning the reductions of founded masses at the Paris and Sens houses. Chapter 5 will look at monumental and anecdotal/literary evidence, as well as the works of Jean Gerson, a friend of the order, to further define the cultural impact of the monks.

A pesquisa pretende levantar através de documentação disponível, além de outras fontes, informações sobre as origens da produção em barro cozido nas olarias da Vila de Piratininga, ou como iremos tratá-la aqui, Vila de São Paulo, especialmente sob a administração da Ordem Beneditina, no período entre 1560 e 1870. Trataremos de identificar as técnicas de produção empregadas na elaboração das peças produzidas nestas olarias, como telhas, tijolos, louças, etc, sobretudo, nas olarias da Fazenda do Tijucusú pertencentes à Ordem Beneditina e na olaria da Vila de Pinheiros administrada pelos beneditinos. Investigaremos a documentação disponível sobre as olarias e pretendemos demonstrar as técnicas e as finalidades de uso das peças ali produzidas, assim como em outras olarias da Vila de São Paulo no período citado, na tentativa de confirmar a existência efetiva de uma indústria oleira consistente e uma mão de obra especializada. / The research intends to raise through available documentation, and other sources, information about the origins of production in terracota in the brick kilns of Piratininga village or how we treat it, Vila Sao Paulo, especially in the administration of the Benedictine\"s Order in the period between 1560 and 1870. We will try to identify the production techniques used in the preparation of the pieces produced in these brick kilns, such as tiles, bricks, crockery, etc., and especially the potteries of Tijucusú Treasury belonging to the Benedictine Order and the pottery of Pine Village run by the Benedictines. We investigate the available documentation on these potteries and we intend to demonstrate the techniques and the use purposes of there produced parts, as well as in other potteries from the town of São Paulo in the period mentioned in an attempt to confirm the actual existence of a consistent potter industry and a skilled labor.

In the latter half of the 20th century interreligious dialogue has become a necessary and important feature in human co-existence. This study discusses the dialogue of religious experience. The essentials in this dialogue are mutual understandings of prayer and contemplation as practiced in differing religious and cultural contexts. The dissertation consists of four parts. The first is a survey of missiological theology on interreligious dialogue, contemplation and inculturation in the Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council. The second part considers initiatives taken in dialogue in the Benedictine Order from early 1960-ties to mid 1990-ties. Attention is given to "East-West Spiritual Exchange" which has taken place regularly between European participants in "Dialogue Interreligieux Monastique" and Zen Buddhists in Japan. The third section focuses on Japan. Three Japanese Catholic theologians are discussed. In efforts to establish theological and pastoral communication with Zen tradition, moving towards an integration of details emerging from Zen practice to Catholic spirituality, the Japanese theologians theologize in a fashion similar to the Benedictines. The final section analyses initiatives in dialogue of religious experience discussed in the thesis. Key concepts draw attention to distinctive characteristics of specific expressions in dialogue, partly in monastic contexts, partly in Japanese contexts. Because the particular form of dialogue presented is an ongoing process which has only recently commenced, no final results in developments can yet be identified. Suffice it to state that initiatives described are new inputs in Catholic missiological study. Both Benedictine and Japanese theologians have in many ways paved the way for official Catholic theology on interreligious dialogue.

Neste ambiente, foi possível ao órgão ter seu desenvolvimento técnico de construção, e a ampliação de seus recursos e de variedades tímbricas. A arte organística brasileira, com raízes na escola de organaria ibérica, teve início no século XVI, sendo mantida a tradição organística ao longo dos séculos seguintes. A princípio foram usados pequenos órgãos positivos de mesa e órgãos realejos vindos de Portugal. Posteriormente, no século XVIII, a Coroa Portuguesa supre as catedrais e igrejas brasílicas com grandes órgãos fixos. Ainda neste mesmo século, os órgãos começam a ser construídos in loco, quando ocorre a gênese da organaria brasileira. Considerando-se o desaparecimento da grande maioria dos órgãos de tubos dos períodos colonial e imperial brasileiro, através de um levantamento histórico documental se tornou possível um resgate destes instrumentos. Diversos documentos eclesiásticos registraram compras de órgãos de tubos, gastos com assentos e manutenção desse instrumentos, como também pagamentos aos organistas. Os cronistas de época e os diários de viajantes, como fontes de dados, citam o uso destes instrumentos. A arte organística da Ordem de São Bento se manifesta através de seus órgãos adquiridos, de seus monges organistas e organeiros. Os mosteiros beneditinos portugueses e brasileiros adotaram o órgão de tubos como o instrumento de seus Ofícios Divinos, mantendo essa tradição até os dias atuais. Objetivando resgatar a arte e a tradição organística colonial e imperial brasileira, levantou-se, por meio de registros documentais e de crônicas de época, os órgãos, organistas e organeiros, em uma abordagem detalhada, concisa e objetiva / Abstract: The pipe organ, while not having its genesis within the church environment, was adopted by the Christian Church and converted into a liturgical instrument par excellence, having been consecrated in the sixteenth century by the Council of Trent. In this environment, it was possible to have and this tradition body building technical development, and expansion of its resources and timbral variety. The Brazilian organ-related art, with roots in the school of Iberian organ building, began in the sixteenth century, the organ-related tradition was maintained throughout the following centuries. At first, small positive organs table and realejos organs coming of Portugal were used. Later, in the eighteenth century, the Portuguese Crown meets the Brazilian cathedrals and churches with large fixed pipe organs. Also in this same century, the organs begin to be built in situ, occurring when the genesis of Brazilian organ building. Considering the disappearance of most pipe organs of colonial and Brazilian imperial periods, through a documentary historical survey became possible ransom these instruments. Various church documents recorded purchases of pipe organs, install and maintenance of this instruments, as well as payments to organists. The chroniclers of the time and the diaries of travelers, such as data sources, mentioning the use of these instruments. The organ-related art of the Order of Saint Benedict is manifested through acquired of their pipe organs, their organist monks and organ builders. The Portuguese and Brazilian Benedictine monasteries adopted the pipe organ as the instrument of his divine service, keeping this tradition to the present day. Aiming to rescue the organ-related art and colonial and Brazilian imperial tradition, rose through documentary records and chronicles of the time, the organs, organists and organ builders, in a detailed, concise and objective approach / Doutorado / Fundamentos Teoricos / Doutor em Música

Le XIe siècle constitue pour les abbayes bénédictines ligériennes une période faste marquée par le développement d’importants réseaux de prieurés qui leur permettent de rayonner dans tout l’Ouest français. Dans ce contexte, la Bretagne constitue pour les abbayes angevines et tourangelles la principale région d’implantation hors de leur territoire d’origine. Entre 980 et 1150, elles y fondent une soixantaine de prieurés. Les relations familiales, politiques et religieuses qui lient depuis longtemps les comtés de Nantes, de Rennes et de Vannes aux principautés voisines de la Loire moyenne expliquent en partie la réussite de cette implantation. Soutenus par les évêques et par l’aristocratie châtelaine, les moines deviennent au XIe siècle les principaux bénéficiaires des donations d’églises. Ils jouent un rôle majeur dans l’affirmation du pouvoir seigneurial et contribuent à inscrire le projet grégorien au coeur de la société féodale, en imposant par leur présence un mode de vie perçu comme un modèle de perfection religieuse. Mais au XIIe siècle, la concurrence de nouvelles communautés religieuses, les conflits avec l’aristocratie et l’affirmation du pouvoir épiscopal entraînent une redéfinition des relations entre les prieurés et leur entourage, sans pour autant engendrer une crise du monachisme bénédictin. / The eleventh century Benedictine abbeys of the Val de Loire develop important networks priories that allow them to radiate throughout the French West. In this context, Brittany is for Anjou and Touraine abbeys the main settlement area outside their territory of origin. Between 980 and 1150, they founded about sixty priories. Family, political and religious relationships long linked counties of Nantes, Rennes and Vannes to the neighbouring principalities of the Loire Valley, partly explain the success of this implementation. Supported by the bishops and by the chatelaine aristocracy, monks in the eleventh century become the main beneficiaries of churches donations, they play a major role in the assertion of baronial power, and contribute to impose the Gregorian project in feudal society by their presence and their lifestyle perceived as a religious model of perfection. In the twelfth century, competition from new religious communities, conflict with the aristocracy and the affirmation of the episcopal power leads to a redefinition of relations between the priories and their entourage, without generating a crisis of Benedictine monasticism.

A propósito do valor histórico e da importância da Biblioteca do Mosteiro de São Bento de São Paulo pela conservação de um singular patrimônio bibliográfico, pretendemos compreender fragmentos de sua história a partir da bibliografia histórica e da cultura monástica entre livros, leituras e bibliotecas. Para tanto, a pesquisa se desenvolveu em três linhas de investigação: a primeira, a análise de obras e de documentos que nos permitiram resgatar aspectos históricos e culturais que proporcionaram a formação da Biblioteca- Livraria no contexto do monaquismo beneditino; a segunda, o estudo da bibliografia histórica e da cultura monástica de livros e de leitores em uma perspectiva de longa duração e dialética com a Biblioteca-Livraria e a sua Coleção de Livros Antigos; e a terceira, a elaboração do Catálogo da Coleção de Livros Antigos da Biblioteca-Livraria do Mosteiro e a identificação de alguns de seus objetos bibliográficos, assim como dos princípios de organização destes. A partir do estudo realizado, entendemos que entre os monges beneditinos sempre houve diversos sinais de uma reflexão e orientação profunda a respeito de bibliotecas e de livros e que a própria Biblioteca-Livraria é reflexo da mentalidade beneditina e emblema mesmo da instituição monástica, de modo que os aspectos espirituais, históricos e culturais do monaquismo beneditino constituem elementos configuradores das etapas de formação de sua identidade bibliográfica e informacional. / Concerning the historical significance of the Library of Saint Benedicts Monastery of São Paulo in its conservation of a unique bibliographical heritage we intend to understand fragments of its history. Our approach is from a point of view of the historical bibliography and the monastic culture found in books, readings and libraries. Within that framework, the research was developed along three lines of investigation: the first one, the analysis of books and documents that allow us to rescue the cultural and historical aspects that provided for the formation of the Old Library in the context of Benedictine monasticism; the second, the study of the historical bibliography and the monastic culture of books and readers from a long term and dialectic perspective with the Old Library and its Old Books Collection; and the third, the elaboration of a Catalogue of the Old Books Collection of the Monasterys Old Library and the identification of some of its bibliographical objects, as well as the principles of their organization. We understand, from the research we conducted, that among the Benedictines there has always been various signs of reflection and profound orientation regarding libraries and books and that the Old Library itself is a consequence of the Benedictine mind-set and an emblem of the monastic institution, so that the spiritual, historical and cultural aspects of the Benedictine monasticism constitute elements of the phases of formation of its bibliographical and informational identity.

How much was a medieval monastery reminiscent of a modern prison? Or insane asylum? And if it was in the least - what can such a metaphor tell us about power relations structuring the life of medieval monks? The purpose of this compilation thesis (sammanläggningsavhandling) is to render explicit and analyze relations of power and modes of control comprising the social tissue of early medieval Benedictine monasteries. By bringing up the examples of tenth- and eleventh-century monasteries of St Gall, Fulda, and Bury St Edmunds, this thesis seeks to understand what power was in medieval monasteries, how and between whom it was exercised, what and how it affected in terms of collective and individual identity. The thesis consists of three introductory chapters, four previously published empirical articles, and a concluding remarks section. Article 1 investigates the problem of surveillance and patterns of social control dispersed in the monastery of St Gall. Article 2 studies the early and high medieval institutional expectations and means of enforcement of the monk’s role. Article 3 scrutinizes an example of a persecution process and a set of defense measures in the hands of the St Gall community warding off an unwanted visitor. Article 4 examines a number of internal monastic conflicts from several monasteries and strategies, both political and cognitive, guiding them. In investigating these problems, the thesis proceeds in a manner of deliberate anachronism. It asks questions about how human subjectivity was manufactured in early medieval St Gall, what were a medieval monastery’s ‘conditions of possibility’ to operate as a social regime, or oral and literary means of conflict management etc. The crucial modern social theories on which the thesis hinges are: Erving Goffman’s notion of ‘total institution’, and Michel Foucault’s analysis of power, as well as Pierre Bourdieu’s logic of action.
