92875 OGE 3 01 Van Dijk.Indd STEPHEN MOSSMAN Ubertino da Casale and the Devotio Moderna Ubertino da Casale is best known to modern scholarship as a fervent partisan of the Spiritual Franciscans, and as one of the most radical exponents of the apoca- lyptic doctrine of Joachim of Fiore in the fifth book of his principal theological work, the Arbor vitae crucifixae Iesu Christi. He presents a rather enigmatic figure, who disappears from the historical record in the later 1320s, and is presumed to have died – in precisely what circumstances is a matter of controversy – around 1330. In the later Middle Ages, his Arbor vitae continued to enjoy a certain popularity across southern Europe, notably amongst the Franciscan Observants in Italy and Spain. It was less well known in northern Europe, with the significant exception of the Low Countries. This exception has attracted some comment, without ever being explained. Kurt Ruh, for instance, remarked in his entry on Ubertino in the Verfasserlexikon: ‘Kaum ein Zufall wird es sein, daß sich fast die ganze (bisher bekannte) H[ubertinus]-Rezeption im germanischen Raum auf die Niederlande konzentriert, auch wenn man die These des P. Optatus […] von der ‘Ubereinstimmung’ H[ubertinus]’, zumal in seinem christozentrischen Denken, ‘mit der niederländischen Frömmigkeit’ nicht als ausreichenden Erklärungsgrund anerkennen will.’1 The Capuchin friar Optatus, to whom Ruh here refers, is the only other scholar to have attempted any kind of assessment of the influence of Ubertino’s Arbor vitae in the Low Countries. He provides just three pages of summary indications, which then formed the material basis for C. C. de Bruin’s discussion of the topic in his survey of the medieval vita Christi tradition.2 ¶ An earlier version of this paper was delivered at the 42nd International Congress on Medieval Studies, 10-13 May 2007, at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, in session 89, ‘The Devotio Moderna and its Creative Use of Sources’.

The particular enthusiasm for this work in the region is not coincidental. Its reception can be traced back to the years around 1400: and not in the milieu of the Franciscan Observance, which would only reach the Netherlands some decades later, but amongst the Augustinian canons regular of the Windesheim congregation. The interest of the early Modern Devout in the Arbor vitae had nothing to do with its apocalyptic theology, but with its status as a sophisticated and highly-structured contemplative work; one which contained certain distinctive features that correspond precisely to particular features of the contemplative practice and devotional works of the Devotio Moderna. Beyond these common formal aspects, the Arbor vitae contains a distinctive and original theology of the interior suffering of Christ, which Ubertino connects to the image of the sacred heart and describes as Christ’s dolores cordiales. This was directly influ- ential on the conceptualisation of the suffering of Christ, and in turn on the nature of imitating his life, amongst the early writers of the Devotio Moderna. This is most evident in the case of Jan van Schoonhoven – the individual who had defended Ruusbroec’s works against the criticism of Jean Gerson, and whose historical significance, so Ruh again, ‘beruht indes darauf, daß er die maßgebliche Persönlichkeit ist, die den Schwerpunkt der Spiritualität von Groenendaal zu den Windesheimern verlagerte.’3 This article is an attempt to provide a systematic survey of the transmission and reception of the Arbor vitae in the Low Countries to c. 1520. We will thus begin with an analysis of the extant Latin manuscripts, the testimonies from library catalogues and other sources of manuscripts now lost, and of the manu- scripts containing portions of the text in Dutch translation. The evidence for the transmission of the work in Germany, such as it is, will be adduced to provide a comparative perspective. We will then examine certain aspects of the work that help to explain its popularity in the region, with specific focus on the Devotio Moderna in the period up to c. 1410. Finally, we will define the sub- sequent patterns of use of the Arbor vitae through the fifteenth and early six- teenth centuries, relying in this later period on the evidence supplied by existing case studies of particular authors and works. Before we look at all this evidence for the work’s transmission, we should take a moment to ask exactly what the Arbor vitae actually is. THE ARBOR VITAE At the simplest level, the Arbor vitae is a life of Christ with two prologues and five books. It is also extraordinarily long. The sole printed version, a Venetian incunable from 1485, runs to nearly five hundred folio sides, in two columns 3 Kurt Ruh, Geschichte der abendländischen Mystik, 4, Die niederländische Mystik des 14. bis 16. Jahrhunderts (Munich, 1999), pp. 124-25. 992875_OGE_3_04_Mossman.indd2875_OGE_3_04_Mossman.indd 220000 114-01-20104-01-2010 116:05:056:05:05 UBERTINO DA CASALE AND THE DEVOTIO MODERNA 201 of 59 lines of heavily abbreviated text.4 It is exactly contemporary with the Meditationes vitae Christi of Johannes de Caulibus, another north Italian Franciscan, and these two works are the earliest in the genre of exhaustive vitae Christi in Latin prose. As such, the Arbor vitae occupies an important position in this literary tradition,5 but it is very different in character both to the Meditationes, and to the subsequent fourteenth-century works in the same genre.6 Structured around the image of a tree, the Arbor vitae proceeds from the roots upwards to the fruits of the branches, adopting an earlier model from Bonaventura’s Lignum vitae. Within this structure, the Arbor vitae covers not merely the life of Christ on Earth, but the entirety of salvation history seen through the lens of Christ’s involvement – from creation through to the second coming and the end of the world. Carlos Mateo Martínez Ruiz, who has recently dedicated a major study to the Arbor vitae, describes the work as a theological summa: a work that expounds the essential content of Christian doctrine, in this case freed from the formal constraints of academic writing in a university con- text, but with the same concern to present the totality of theological knowledge, and with a similarly intimate knowledge of scholastic theology and biblical exegesis. Ubertino binds salvation history to christology in such a way that every theological issue is explicable only in terms of a moment in Christ’s existence, with the church (and thus Ubertino’s treatment of ecclesiology) appearing as the ‘fruits’ of the tree in the fifth book.7 At the centre of the work stands the fourth and longest book, dealing with Christ’s Passion. It is here that Ubertino sets out his unique and exceptionally complex mystical theology. He presents a contemplative ascent in which union with God is made accessible to the believer through the cross as the culmination of Christ’s earthly existence, and ultimately through the transformation of the individual into the crucified Christ – a transformation that had been realised most perfectly by Francis of Assisi.8 4 This edition is cited from the modern reprint: Ubertinus de Casali, Arbor vitae crucifixae Jesu, with an introduction and bibliography by Charles T.

    702 Book Reviews and it is disheartening that the Institutum Historicum Societatis Iesu cannot ensure for its readers (and its authors) a higher standard of comprehensibil- ity in an English-language publication. German is the original language of the work (in the form of a habilitation thesis) and a perfectly respectable interna- tional academic language. Sobiech should have left Jesuit Prison Ministry in it. All of this adds up to a study that is solidly researched and encyclopedically helpful, but also frustratingly hard to read. Scholars will most profitably turn to it as an overview of particular topics and a finder’s guide for source material related to their own research. The best future work on early modern carceral pastoral care, the life of Friedrich Spee, and his Cautio criminalis will undoubt- edly be built on foundations Sobiech lays here.

  • A Sixteenth-Century Mystical Renaissance in the Eastern Netherlands
    BERNARD MCGINN A Sixteenth-Century Mystical Renaissance in the Eastern Netherlands It is only within the past decade that the existence of a sixteenth-century renaissance of mysticism in the Eastern Netherlands has begun to emerge as an important chapter in the history of Western spirituality.1 Considerable research has been devoted to the role of the Charterhouse of St. Barbara at Cologne in editing, translating, and publishing mystical texts, as well as the place of these Carthusians in the history of Catholic reform, but little had been written about the connection of the Carthusians with centers of mystical writing both by and for women in the Netherlands provinces of Brabant and Gelderland.2 What is now clear is that in the mid-sixteenth century the conversation between men and women that was a feature of much late medieval mysticism found a new home in the Low Countries, one in which the Carthusians at Cologne and the community of Augustinian canonesses at St. Agnes at Arnhem formed two important foci.3 As the historian Jean Dagens once put it, “La Chartreuse de Cologne n’est pas moins important pour l’histoire religieuse que la Fraternité obscure où ­Thomas a Kempis a médité les livres de l’Imitation.”4 This may seem exagger- ated, but when we look at the activities of the Cologne community in editing, translating, and printing late medieval theological and spiritual writings, it becomes less extreme. This publishing effort was part of a program of reform centered at Cologne, a distinctive German attempt at countering the split in ¶ Much of the material in this essay appeared in a slightly different form in Chapter 5, “A Mys- tical Renaissance in the Eastern Netherlands,” in Bernard McGinn, The Varieties of Vernacular Mysticism, 1350-1550 (New York: Crossroad-Herder, 2012), 141-75.

  • The Significance of Ruusbroec's Mystical Theology
    9770-07_LouvainStud_06-1_02 21-02-2007 09:09 Pagina 19 Louvain Studies 31 (2006) 19-41 doi: 10.2143/LS.31.1.2019377 © 2006 by Louvain Studies, all rights reserved The Significance of Ruusbroec’s Mystical Theology Bernard McGinn Abstract. — This essay seeks to evaluate the impact of the thought of Jan van Ruusbroec (1293-1381) in the history of Western Christian mysticism. Like all mystics, Ruusbroec was shaped by both the long mystical tradition, as well as by the historical context in which he found himself. A survey of three important aspects of this context is followed by an analysis of four essential themes of Ruusbroec’s mystical theology: the proper understanding of mystical union; the role of the Trinity; essential love; and the “common life.” The essay concludes with a brief sketch of major moments in the reception of Ruusbroec’s writings down through the seven- teenth century and some reflections on his lasting significance. The conception of mysticism as a form of private, even solipsistic, religious experience, largely of a paranormal nature and at least implic- itly in conflict with the institutional and doctrinal aspects of established religion is now mostly a thing of the past. Recent scholarship on mysti- cism in Christianity and in the world religions has shown how deeply bound the mystical element is to the other strands of religion. The mys- tical aspect of the monotheistic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam emerges ever more strongly as a part of these traditions, that is, what has been handed on by generations of believers through teaching and prac- tice, both oral and written.

Author: Dlabacova, Anna Title: Literatuur en observantie : de Spieghel der volcomenheit van Hendrik Herp en de dynamiek van laatmiddeleeuwse tekstverspreiding Issue Date: 2014-05-22 Summary In this study, Hendrik Herp’s Spieghel der volcomenheit (‘Mirror of Perfection’, 1455-1460) and its transmission in manuscript and print are considered from the perspective of the late-mediaeval Franciscan Observance reform movement. The Franciscan Observance has never previously been studied as a literary movement in the Low Countries. In this respect, Herp’s Spieghel is a gateway to understanding the influence of the Francis- can Observants – within the context of the broad fifteenth-century observance move- ment – on the late-mediaeval cultural and religious landscape of the Low Countries. The Spieghel is the product of Herp’s intellectual background and the religious de- velopments of the time; the surviving manuscripts and printed versions of the text are what remains of its relatively rapid and wide dissemination. In order to discover more about the dynamics underlying the creation and distribution of the text, an innovative method has been used that combines two existing methods with a third, new method. The chronology of the reception of a late-mediaeval work, described by Frits van Oostrom for Dirc van Delft’s Tafel van den kersten ghelove, provides a foundation for in- terpreting the history and initial reception on the basis of Herp’s biography and for approaching the distribution of the text in manuscript and print as a second reception phase.

Henk Rutten, the librarian and information manager of the Titus Brandsma Institute, lists about sixty titles with short descriptions. They are not meant to be comprehensive and in-depth book reviews.

The question of the ‘structure’ of the human person is central to many mystical authors in the Christian tradition. This book focuses on the specific anthropology in a series of key authors in the mystical tradition in the medieval and early modern Low Countries. Their view is fundamentally different from the anthropology that has commonly been accepted since the rise of Modernity. This book explores the most important mystical authors and texts from the Low Countries including: William of Saint-Thierry, Hadewijch, Pseudo-Hadewijch, John of Ruusbroec, Jan van Leeuwen, Willem Jordaens, Hendrik Herp, Arnhem Mystical Sermons, and the Evangelical Pearl. The most impor- tant aspects of mystical anthropology are discussed: the spiritual nature of the soul, the inner-most being of the soul, the faculties, the senses, and crucial metaphors which were used to explain the relationship of God and the human person. Two contribu- tions explicitly connect the anthropology of the mystics to contemporary thought.

  • Tauler, Herp and the Changing Layers of Mobility and Reception in the Low Countries (C
    ANNA DLABACOVÁ Tauler, Herp and the Changing Layers of Mobility and Reception in the Low Countries (c. 1460-1560) In the middle of the fifteenth century, the Dutch mystic and observant Francis- can friar Hendrik Herp († 1477) wrote a mystical manual, the Spieghel der volcomenheit (Mirror of perfection, c. 1455-1460). His book became an imme- diate success among various circles of religious and devout men and women, reflecting the ‘multiple options’ of fifteenth-century religious life and reform.1 Today, there are still twenty-seven extant manuscripts of (parts) of the Middle Dutch Spieghel (dating c. 1460-1550) and four printed editions from the same period, of which thirty-seven copies have survived. Translations were made into Middle High German, Latin, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and French. Herp’s well-structured and systematically arranged guide was partly inspired by the writings of fourteenth-century mystics from the Low Countries and the Rhineland. His use of works by Ruusbroec has been widely emphasized in the twentieth century.2 However, Herp also must have known, read and used ser- mons by the Dominican who (most likely) came to visit Ruusbroec in his Groenendaal monastery: Johannnes Tauler († 1361).3 Aside from the dissemi- 1 John Van Engen, ‘Multiple Options: The World of the Fifteenth-Century Church’, in: Church History, 77 (2008), p. 257-284.
