  • The Sanctoral Calendar of Wilhelm Loehe's Martyrologium Trans
    The Sanctoral Calendar of Wilhelm Loehe's Martyrologium trans. with an introduction by Benjamin T. G. Mayes October 2001 Source: Wilhelm Loehe, Martyrologium. Zur Erklärung der herkömmlichen Kalendernamen. (Nürnberg: Verlag von Gottfr. Löhe, 1868). Introduction. Loehe's Martyrologium of 1868 was not his first attempt at a Lutheran sanctoral calendar. Already in 1859, he had his Haus-, Schul- und Kirchenbuch für Christen des lutherischen Bekenntnisses printed, in which he included a sanctoral calendar which was different in many ways from his later, corrected version. The earlier calendar contained many more names, normally at least two names per day. Major feasts were labelled with their Latin names. But the earlier calendar also had errors. Many dates were marked with a question mark. A comparison of the two calendars shows that in the earlier calendar, Loehe had mistaken Cyprian the Sorcerer (Sept. 26) with Cyprian of Carthage. On the old calendar's April 13th, Hermenegild was a princess. In the new one, he's a prince. In the earlier calendar, Hildegard the Abbess (Sept. 17) was dated in the 300's. In the new one, she is dated 1179. In fact, in the later calendar, I would suppose that half of the dates have been changed. Loehe was conscious of the limitations of his calendar. He realized especially how difficult the selection of names was. His calendar contains the names of many Bavarian saints. This is to be expected, considering the fact that his parish, Neuendettelsau, is located in Bavaria. Loehe gave other reasons for the selection of names in his Martyrologium: "The booklet follows the old calendar names.

  • From Grave-Violation to Exaltation of the Relic
    Mirator 19:1 (2018) 4 Disturbing Bones: from Grave-Violation to Exaltation of the Relic ANTHONY JOHN LAPPIN n March 447, as the Western Roman Empire evaporated around him, Valentinian III (r. 425–55) Iattempted to reassert some form of order. Civil disturbance had opened the way to tomb rob- bing. He therefore invoked the long tradition of laws that sought to protect tombs and punish their violators, and thus expressed a traditional understanding of the role of tombs: as houses or dwelling-places of the manes, the shades of the dead (a remarkably pagan word for a Christian emperor). The emperor provides the following reasoning: the souls might well have ascended to be with their source and origin, but they still love the places where their bodies have been buried, and rejoice when honour is paid to them. Consequently, tomb-violators disturb the souls’ peace and do repugnant violence to their remains, thereby committing a crime which cannot be expiated, an act of barbarous cruelty, whereby the bodies of those who are deprived of daylight (through death) are exposed to the sky above.1 That a tomb should remain inviolate had been taken as a given throughout the classical, and a good part of the Christian, past up to that point. Indeed, most Christian practice towards the tombs of the dead was indistinguishable from that of their more traditionally religious neighbours. For those who could afford it, elaborate tombs: Valentinian mentions the labour and expense of bring- ing stone and precious metals to decorate the dwelling-places of the departed as a further argument that souls are aware of what happens to their bodies.

This dissertation examines his writings on virginity in the interest of illuminating the historical and social contexts of his teachings. Considering Ambrose’s treatises on virginity as literary productions with social, political, and theological functions in Milanese society, I look at the various ways in which the bishop of Milan formulated ascetic discourse in response to the needs and expectations of his audience. Furthermore, I attend to the various discontinuities in Ambrose’s ascetic writings in the hope of illuminating what kinds of ideological work these texts were intended to perform by the bishop within Milanese society and beyond.

  • Craft Guild Ideology and Urban Literature: the Four Crowned Martyrs
    Urban History, 45, 3 (2018) © Cambridge University Press 2017 doi:10.1017/S0963926817000578 First published online 2 November 2017 Craft guild ideology and urban literature: the Four Crowned Martyrs and the Lives of Saints Nazarius and Celsus as told by the masons’ guild of fifteenth-century Ghent LAURA CROMBIE∗ 48 Kenilworth Crescent, Bellshill, ML4 3EG abstract: The economic and political dimensions of guilds in medieval Flanders, especially medieval Ghent, have been well studied for generations. It is often noted that guilds were more than work organizations, and that their religious and social activities made them very like confraternities, but exploring the cultural and ideological side of guilds can be hampered by less surviving evidence. The present article attempts to address this lacuna by using poems written by/for the masons’ guild in fifteenth-century Ghent, taking an interdisciplinary perspective to examine ideals of community, hierarchy and the sacralization of labour from an urban perspective. On 22 September 1420, Coppin de Bake, aged 15 years and 8 days, began an apprenticeship in the masons’ guild in Ghent. His parents, Sanders (also a mason) and Lysbet, entrusted him to the care of Master Coosin Poortier, and gave a silver scale to the guild.1 Coppin’s apprenticeship is the first of many in the Ghent masons’ guild-book, a record of a youth entering a craft community. The guild-book itself is not simply a membership list, rather it is, like a religious institution’s book, part of the culture of memoria,2 and a lens through which to analyse guild-brothers and their values.

  • Saints and Sacred Matter the Cult of Relics in Byzantium and Beyond
    Saints and Sacred Matter The Cult of Relics in Byzantium and Beyond Edited by Cynthia Hahn and Holger A. Klein DUM BARTON OAKS R E SEARCH LIBRARY AND COLLECTION chapter twelve Materiality and the Sacred Byzantine Reliquaries and the Rhetoric of Enshrinement Holger A. Klein n one of his letters to Eustochium, St. Jerome, at the beginning Iof the fifth century, recounted the itinerary and experiences of the Blessed Paula as she visited various sites and places in the Holy Land, and especially in Jerusalem: She chose a humble cell and started to go around visiting all the places with such burning enthu- siasm that there was no taking her away from one, unless she was hurrying on to another. She fell down and worshipped before the Cross as if she could see the Lord hanging on it. On entering the Tomb of the Resurrection she kissed the stone, which the angel removed from the sepulcher door; then, like a thirsty man who has waited long, and at last comes to water, she faithfully kissed the very shelf on which the Lord’s body had lain. Her tears and lamentations there are known to all Jerusalem—or rather to the Lord himself, to whom she was praying.1 For Paula and other pilgrims like her, visiting sites and monuments associated with Christ’s Passion and Resurrection meant to experience physical places and seemingly ordinary things in an unusual and altogether extraordinary manner. Pilgrims like Paula did not merely touch holy places and things. They became, as Gary Vikan has stressed, at least briefly, iconically one and the same with them, collapsing

There are those who believe with varying degrees of certainty that there is a historical basis to the story which Eucherius relates, that there did indeed exist a group of Theban soldiers who were executed in the Alps during the early years of the reign of Emperor Herculius Maximianus because they refused, for religious reasons, to obey his commands.2 However their arguments have left many unconvinced.

  • Heresy and Heortology in the Early Church: Arianism and the Emergence of the Triduum
    ministers of communion, musicians, and greeters can benefit from learning about how their liturgical roles serve as avenues and ways for divine grace to penetrate into the depths of the soul. Translating self psychological theories about ritual experience into accessible language, designed for those who wish to enrich their liturgical and spiritual life with psychological insight, is the next step. Self psychology retrieves psychoanalysis for fruitful and chal­ lenging insights into religious ritual experience. For the dialogue between psychoanalysts and ritualists to continue, self psycholo­ gists must be willing to don ritual masks in many religious rites in order to see and hear the world empathically as the worshipers in different traditions do. The self psychologist must be willing to join the ritual dance, knowing that one's partners in the dance become at deep levels extensions of one's self, even the self of the psychologist, as the dance unfolds in celebratory story. Martin F. Connell Heresy and Heortology in the Early Church: Arianism and the Emergence of the Triduum The Triduum, the three-day liturgy of Easter — from Holy Thurs­ day evening through Easter Sunday — has been so common an experience of the Christian liturgical year that it is difficult to imagine a time when the Triduum was not. But for at least the first three centuries of Christian worship, this annual celebration of Easter was only one rite, a single grand annual assembly of confessors, and soon-to-be confessors, embracing the life of God incarnate in Jesus Christ and in the members of the community. The theology of this unitive rite took in all aspects of the redemp­ tion wrought in the human life of the Son of God, from his con­ ception to his death and resurrection.
