Specifically, it examines three medieval commu­ nities-the town of Tours, the chapter of Saint-Martin in To urs, and the abbey of Marmoutier near To urs-and the ways in which they defined themselves, or were defined, through the cult of Saint Mar­ tin. Because the three communities drew on Martin's cult in different ways, my analysis serves to demonstrate, I hope, that culture is con­ tested territory. Sources from the early Middle Ages might lead us to believe that there was only one interpretation of Martin's cult. As I indicate in chapter 1, the bishops of fifth- and sixth-century Tours, who con­ trolled the cult, created an idealized image of Tours as Martin's town, and of themselves-the heirs to Martin's see-as the rightful leaders of the community. By the late eleventh century, however, the canons of Saint-Martin and the monks of Marmoutier had gained control of Martin's cult, and they produced new legends and rituals that ex­ cluded the cathedral of To urs and its prelate fr om the symbolic urban community that Martin protected. The two houses also turned to Martin's cult in efforts to define their own corporations and to en­ hance the interests of their lay patrons. They were especially anxious to strengthen the internal cohesion of their communities, which so­ cial and political changes threatened to undermine. Marmoutier and Saint-Martin used Martin's cult fo r similar rea­ sons, but they differed in their internal structures and external ties and thus in the ways they elaborated and manipulated it. The cult of Saint Martin did not "mean" simply one thing. Rather, it leant itself to varying uses and interpretations. By relating the manifold uses and meanings of a single saint's cult to its specific local contexts, I have attempted to elucidate how that cult served the practical, psychological, and spiritual needs of differ- ix x Preface ent collective groups. Although my discussion fo cuses on the com­ munities of Marmoutier and Saint-Martin, it also shows that Martin's cult was associated with other groups as well-the comital lineages of Blois and Anjou, the cathedral community of To urs, and the bur­ ghers ofTours. If this were an ideal world, I would have analyzed the interpretations each of those groups gave to the cult. Unfortunately, however, the sources speak with the voices of Marmoutier and Saint­ Martin alone. Like many historians, I was drawn to my subject by personal concerns and convictions, and in tum I fo und that my subject shaped those concerns and convictions. As an undergraduate and graduate student, I first took an interest in the study of religion because I was both attracted to and disturbed by the propensity of Americans to explain, confront, or escape social and political processes by refor­ mulating and reinterpreting their cultural and religious traditions. As a woman who is also a professional academic, I have become in­ creasingly aware that I myself and those whom I know, love, and teach have been molded and affected by the cultural construction of our fe minine and masculine identities. Indeed, the more I think and write about human society, the more I become convinced that we all fmd meaning in, and are shaped by, the groups we belong to, either voluntarily or involuntarily, and by the attitudes that we ourselves and those around us hold concerning those groups. My own intellec­ tual approach to knowledge and experience thus compels me to pref­ ace this work by acknowledging the people and groups who partici­ pated in its fo rmation. Three teachers especially contributed to my general attitude to­ ward the past and enhanced my enthusiasm with their demand fo r discipline. Lester Little, whose courses at Smith College firstinspired my interest in the relation between religion and society, has remained a source of encouragement and advice and has provided enthusiastic support fo r my work. Caroline W. Bynum, through her courses, writings, and close readings of my earlier work and parts of this book, has been a source of intellectual stimulation and emotional courage. She has continually reminded me, moreover, that religion is a matter of meaning and that language-my own, as well as that of the people I study-is extremely important. Giles Constable patiently advised me in the early stages. I am grateful fo r his meticulous read­ ings and fo r the lesson that it takes enormous discipline, endeavor, and caution to begin to make sense of the past. Pierre Gasnault and Dom Guy Oury offered advice on the sources Preface xi of the religious and institutional history of Touraine; Jacques Le Goff and Jean-Claude Schmitt helped with certain problems regarding miracle collections, exempla collections, and ghost stories; and Megan McLaughlin provided useful references on prayers fo r the dead. David Herlihy, Gabrielle Spiegel, Elizabeth Brown, Edward Muir, and Junius Martin were gracious in reading an early draft and generous in offering advice. Patrick Geary, Barbara Rosenwein, Ber­ nard Bachrach, Geoffrey Koziol, Jeffrey Russell, Wa rren Hollister, Michael Burger, Barbara Abou-El-Haj, Ronald Sawyer, John Mar­ tin, Alan Kaplan, and Thomas Haskell read parts of the manuscript and made many useful comments. Caroline Bynum, Thomas Head, Geoffrey Koziol, Barbara Abou-El-Haj, and Quentin Skinner shared their unpublished work with me. John Ackerman at Cornell Univer­ sity Press has demonstrated tremendous fa ith in my work and pro­ vided support and encouragement when they were needed. I am grateful to them all. For financial support, I owe a large debt to the Committee of General Scholarships and the Sheldon Fund at Harvard fo r providing me with a Sinclair Kennedy Traveling Fellowship; to Rice University and the Mellon Foundation fo r a two-year postdoctoral fellowship; and to the University of California at Santa Barbara fo r two Faculty Career Development Awards and fmancial support fo r ordering re­ search materials, preparing art, and hiring research assistants. Those assistants included Miriam Davis, Michael Burger, and Richard Bar­ ton, whose careful help in preparing the manuscript saved me an enormous amount of time and energy. The Interlibrary Lo an department at SUNY Binghamton was es­ pecially resourceful in fe rreting out books fo r me, and I am grateful to the library staffs at Rice University and UCSB as well. Madame Laurent, curator at the Bibliotheque Municipale of Tours, offered useful advice and was always cooperative in sending microfllms and photographs.

    Exploring minor clerics in early medieval Tuscany by Rachel Stone Reti Medievali Rivista, 18, 1 (2017) <http://www.retimedievali.it> Firenze University Press Reti Medievali Rivista, 18, 1 (2017) <http://rivista.retimedievali.it> ISSN 1593-2214 © 2017 Firenze University Press DOI 10.6092/1593-2214/5076 Exploring minor clerics in early medieval Tuscany* by Rachel Stone The article examines minor clerics (clerici) in Carolingian texts. Comparing episcopal capitu- laries from Italy and Francia suggests that clerici played a more prominent role in Italian church life. An analysis of charters from the monastery of Monte Amiata reveals a high proportion of clerici. They appear as a rurally-based group, with varying levels of education, but of some local social standing, and were often mature men with children. The prevalence of such clerici may be related to the northern Italian structure of pievi, and the opportunities these provided for mixed patterns of father-son and uncle-nephew inheritance of church office. The blurring of the lay/clerical divide by such clerici may have particularly worried eleventh-century church reformers coming to Italy from other regions of Western Europe. Il saggio intende fornire una panoramica sui chierici minori nelle fonti di età carolingia, che, a partire dai capitolari episcopali, mostrano un ruolo assai più rilevante in area italica rispetto alle coeve dinamiche osservabili sul suolo francese. Tra le fonti, sono soprattutto le carte – det- tagliatamente analizzate – provenienti dall’archivio del monastero di San Salvatore al Monte Amiata a mostrare una consistente presenza di clerici. Essi appaiono generalmente come un gruppo a forte radicamento rurale, differenziato al proprio interno secondo livelli non omo- genei di educazione e alfabetizzazione, ma di una qualche eminenza sociale in ambito locale e con larga presenza di individui adulti con prole.

  • ASPECTS of Tile MONASTIC PATRONAGE of Tile ENGLISH
    ASPECTS OF TIlE MONASTIC PATRONAGE OF TIlE ENGLISH AND FRENCH ROYAL HOUSES, c. 1130-1270 by Elizabeth M. Hallani VC i% % Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in History presented at the University of London. 1976. / •1 ii SUMMARY This study takes as its theme the relationship of the English and French kings and the religious orders, £.1130-1270, Patronage in general is a field relatively neglected in the rich literature on the monastic life, and royal patronage has never before been traced over a broad period for both France and England. The chief concern here is with royal favour shown towards the various orders of monks and friars, in the foundations and donations made by the kings. This is put in the context of monastic patronage set in a wider field, and of the charters and pensions which are part of its formaL expression. The monastic foundations and the general pattern of royal donations to different orders are discussed in some detail in the core of the work; the material is divided roughly according to the reigns of the kings. Evidence from chronicles and the physical remains of buildings is drawn upon as well as collections of charters and royal financial documents. The personalities and attitudes of the monarchs towards the religious hierarchy, the way in which monastic patronage reflects their political interests, and the contrasts between English and French patterns of patronage are all analysed, and the development of the royal monastic mausoleum in Western Europe is discussed as a special case of monastic patronage. A comparison is attempted of royal and non-royal foundations based on a statistical analysis.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material subm itted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
