    Welcome to OUR 18th VIRTUAL GSP class! Britain’s first martyr ST.ALBAN: WHY DO WE HONOR HIM? Presented by Charles E.Dickson,Ph.D. COLLECT FOR ALBAN, FIRST MARTYR OF BRITAIN 22 JUNE Almighty God, by whose grace and power thy holy martyr Alban triumphed over suffering and was faithful even unto death: Grant to us, who now remember him with thanksgiving, to be so faithful in our witness to thee in this world, that we may receive with him the crown of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. ANGLICANISM’S TUDOR BEGINNINGS The Church of England (and therefore the Episcopal Church) traces its specifically Anglican identity with its links to the State back to the Reformation. Henry VIII started the process of creating the Church of England after his split with Rome in the 1530s as he ended his marriage with Catherine of Aragon and moved on to Anne Boleyn. The first Act of Supremacy, passed by Parliament in 1534, granted Henry and subsequent monarchs Royal Supremacy, such that they were declared the Supreme Head of the Church of England. ANGLICANISM’S ANGLO-SAXON BEGINNINGS The Church of England often dates its formal foundation to St.Augustine of Canterbury’s Gregorian Mission to England in 597. Like Henry VIII this "Apostle to the English" can be considered a founder of the English Church. Augustine was the 1st and the Most Rev. Justin Welby is the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury. ANGLICANISM’S ANCIENT BEGINNINGS Actually the Church of England’s roots go back to the early church.

It explores corporeal changes of humans transformed into animals, monstrous men, loathly ladies, as well as the transformative effects of death. However, transformations could also alter one’s identity and interior states of being. Transformation in these texts is revealed to affect the body as well as the spirit. This symbiotic relationship between outward body and interior spirit is first demonstrated between two separate persons, and progresses to become localized within the one body and the same soul.

This was especially true in the urban contexts of Milan and Florence, cities that played a leading role, at the time, in the history of Italian religious life. Through the presentation of an exemplary case study, this paper shows how around an important Florentine monastery, an episcopal foundation, the conflict between ‘conservatives’ and reformers did not obliterate the genesis and permanence of long-term devo- tional and cultural traditions. Although these traditions emerged in a context of conflict, they were able to overcome it and develop into a new and enduring form of religiosity that lasted from the Romanesque period to the Early Renaissance. edieval historiography has often described protagonists of the ecclesiastical reform movement of the eleventh century as M ‘revolutionaries’, in primis those who belonged to the so-called reformed Benedictine monasticism (Cluniacs, Cistercians, Camaldolese, Vallombrosans). In both early hagiographic sources and modern scholarly literature some of the founders of these religious movements (Stephen Harding, Romuald of Ravenna, John Gualberto) have taken on the roles of persecuted champions in the struggle against corrupt prelates and the Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

In “Society Must Be Defended”, Hobbes’s reactions against the political historicism of his time lead him to an ahistorical foundation to the state. In Security, Territory, Population, his contract is emblematic of the art of government still caught in the logic of sovereignty. Management techniques, one of which being inheritance laws like primogeniture, inducing changes in a population’s milieu so that its interest is properly directed allow the art of government to escape this logic. Hobbes supports primogeniture, but its historical position in the common law makes this support unexpected. This article examines the historical context of primogeniture and the reasoning for Hobbes’s support of it in light of Foucault’s claims about him in order to give more precision to those claims. The result is that primogeniture as a law of nature produces the family as an interested unit of the population. Yet this interest is itself historicized, so Hobbes’s attempt to de-historicize politics did not fully succeed.

Donofrio Dr. Edward M. Schoolman/Thesis Advisor May, 2020 Copyright by Edward Donofrio 2020 All Rights Reserved NEVADA GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by Edward Donofrio Entitled Get A Head In Life: The Creation of Denis as a Cephalophoric Saint be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Edward Schoolman, Ph.D. Advisor Meredith Oda, Ph.D. Committee Member Linda Curcio, Ph.D. Committee Member Jason Fisette, Ph.D. Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D. Dean, Graduate School May 2020 i Abstract Martyrdoms by beheading are not uncommon in hagiographic narratives. In fact, it is one of the most common forms of martyrdom. In 8th century Francia, the beheading of Saint Denis became rose to national prestige. Saint Denis, the patron saint of Paris, engaged in a unique and original act. After Denis’ martyrdom, he was raised from the dead and carried his head in his hands two miles to the location where his basilica would be constructed. Thus Denis became the most famous cephalophoric - or head-bearing - saint. This study asserts the murder of Saint Boniface in 754 is directly linked to the creation of Denis as a cephalophoric saint in the later 8th century. The Franks of the 8th and early 9th centuries used the hagiographic trope of cephalophory in a politically motivated decision during the formative years before the emergence of the Frankish empire.

Degree awarded June 2018 ii © 2018 Caroline Anne Cynthia Phillips iii THESIS ABSTRACT Caroline Anne Cynthia Philips Master of Arts Department of the History of Art and Architecture June 2018 Title: Not Dead but Sleeping: Resurrecting Niccolò Menghini’s Santa Martina Niccolò Menghini’s marble sculpture of Santa Martina (ca. 1635) in the Church of Santi Luca e Martina in Rome belongs to the seventeenth-century genre of sculpture depicting saints as dead or dying. Until now, scholars have ignored the conceptual and formal concerns of the S. Martina, dismissing it as derivative of Stefano Maderno’s Santa Cecilia (1600). This thesis provides the first thorough examination of Menghini’s S. Martina, arguing that the sculpture is critically linked to the Post-Tridentine interest in the relics of early Christian martyrs.

  • Las Cantigas De Santa Maria: Thirteenth-Century Popular Culture
    LAS CANTIGAS DE SANTA MARIA: THIRTEENTH-CENTURY POPULAR CULTURE AND ACTS OF SUBVERSION Jerry Coats Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2016 APPROVED: Laura Stern, Major Professor Marilyn Morris, Committee Member Elizabeth Hayes Turner, Committee Member Robert Upchurch, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of English David Holdeman, Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences Victor Prybutok, Vice Provost of the Toulouse Graduate School Coats, Jerry B. “Las Cantigas de Santa Maria”: Thirteenth-century Popular Culture and Acts of Subversion. Doctor of Philosophy (History-European History), August 2016, 273 pp., bibliography, 267 titles. Across medieval Europe, the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela in Spain traced a lattice web of popular culture. From the lowest peasant to the greatest king and churchmen, the devout walked pathways that created an economy and contributed to a social and political climate of change. Central to this impulse of piety and wanderlust was the veneration of the Virgin Mary. She was, however, not the iconic Mother of the New Testament whose character, actions, and very name are nearly absent from that first-century compilation of texts. As characterized in the words of popular songs and tales, the mariales, she was a robust saint who performed acts of healing that exceeded those miracles of Jesus described in the Bible. Unafraid and authoritative, she confronted demons and provided judgement that reached beyond the understanding and mercy of medieval codes of law. Holding out the promise of protection from physical and spiritual harm, she attracted denizens of admirers who included poets, minstrels, and troubadours like Nigel of Canterbury, John of Garland, Gonzalo de Berceo, and Gautier de Coinci.
