University Microfilms International T U T T L E , V Ir G in Ia G R a C E 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. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

Professor Franklin Ludden, for his generous assistance throughout my years of graduate study. My work on the Liber Floridus began in a seminar on medieval secular art that was offered by Professor Ludden. Through all stages of this work. Professor Ludden has offered the most valu­ able suggestions and patient criticism. I wish to thank the members of my dissertation com­ mittee, Professor Anne Morgansterm, Professor Howard Crane, Professor Christian Zacher, and Professor Carl Schlam, for reading my dissertation and making important recommenda­ tions. These recommendations have enabled me to improve many aspects of my work. Professor Schlam has also been very helpful in checking some of my translations from Latin. I am indebted to Professor Daniel Farrell for his assis­ tance in reading and criticizing part of this disserta­ tion. Ms. Shelly Wolfe is also deserving of my gratitude on this occasion. My realization that the structure of the Liber Floridus might correspond to that of the Beatus Apocalypse occurred during conversations with Ms. Wolfe, who is presently preparing a dissertation on a manuscript of the Beatus Apocalypse (New York, Pierpont Morgan Library, M. 644). Finally, I wish to acknowledge a great debt to my parents for the unfailing encouragement and support that has allow,ed me to bring my graduate work to completion. I also wish to thank my mother for having prepared the map of Flanders that appears on page xiv. October A, 1946............... Born - Newark, New Jersey 1970...........................

  • By Rachel Stone
    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.

    CH 527 COURSE SYLLABUS THE MEDIEVAL CHURCH and THE REFORMATION From the Rise of Charlemagne to The Council of Trent Fall, 2020. Instructor: Fr. Luke Dysinger, OSB. Email: [email protected]. Phone: 805 482-2755: office ext 1045; room ext. 1068. Office Hours (St. Katharine 318) by arrangement, COURSE WEBSITE: through Sonis, or http://ldysinger.stjohnsem.edu DESCRIPTION: This course will introduce the history, theology, and spirituality of the Christian Church from the rise of Charlemagne (c. 800) to the Council of Trent (1563). This course will provide an overview of both the theological and spiritual traditions of the Medieval Church through the time of the Catholic Reformation, culminating in the Council of Trent. The rich ethnic and cultural diversity of Christian thought during this period will be highlighted through study of primary sources from the Jewish, Roman, Greek, Celtic, Anglo- European, Slavic, Middle-Eastern (Syriac), and Egyptian (Coptic) traditions. In order to profit from the cultural and ethnic diversity of the student body, students are encouraged to bring to classroom discussion the early and medieval origins of their cultural traditions: including, for example, the theological, liturgical, and spiritual emphases that distinguish Western Catholicism from Eastern traditions such as the Maronite, Chaldean, Melchite, Malabar, and Ruthenian churches. During each class selected primary and secondary texts will be studied and discussed. A large proportion of the primary texts will be taken from the Office of Readings. In this way students’ ongoing prayerful study of these texts in the liturgy will provide a deepening re-acquaintance with patristic and early medieval sources of Christian spirituality and doctrine.

  • 'The Conquest of the Holy Land by Saladin'
    ‘The Conquest of the Holy Land by Saladin’ This account of Saladin’s conquest of the Holy Land has come down to us in association with the Chronicon Anglicanum of Ralph of Coggeshall, a Cistercian from Essex who was one of the most important historians of early thirteenth-century England. However, while the author who compiled the tract may have been English, Ralph himself was not the person responsible. The particular value of this tract is that while in its present form it probably dates from c. 1220, it incorporates an earlier eye-witness account from a soldier who took part in the defence of Jerusalem and was wounded during the siege. The later compiler expanded this, adding details concerning the holy sites taken by the Muslims, quite possibly taken from a contemporary pilgrim guide, a brief account of the subsequent Third Crusade, which seems to have been taken from the much longer ‘Itinerary of King Richard’ by Richard de Templo, 1 and various passages of lamentation and moralising over the supposed iniquities of the Christians that had led God to allow the Muslims to succeed. The text has been translated from the De Expugnatione Terra Sanctae per Saladinum, in Ralph of Coggeshall, Chronicon Anglicanum, ed. J. Stevenson (Rolls Series, London 1875), 209-62. Use has been made of a previous translation of some passages from this tract by James Brundage, The Crusades: A Documentary History, (Milwaukee, 1962), 153-159, although the version here, which is a complete translation, and thus much fuller than the extracts used by Brundage, has been made afresh from the Latin text.

    THE PEN AND THE PENNON: POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENT INSCRIBED WITHIN CHIVALRIC ROMANCE A DISSERTATION IN English and History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by LARRY MICHAEL MCCLOUD B.A., Iowa State University, 1997 MLA, Baker University, 1999 Kansas City, Missouri 2016 © 2016 LARRY MICHAEL MCCLOUD ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE PEN AND THE PENNON: POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENT INSCRIBED WITHIN CHIVALRIC ROMANCE Larry Michael McCloud, Candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2016 ABSTRACT Study of the Medieval English romance has burgeoned in recent years, with a focus on the world outside of the texts being central to the resurgence. I offer in this dissertation a reading of four of these works (Athelston, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sir Cleges, and Sir Gowther) that considers each of them in the environment in which they are presented. Utilizing the contexts of manuscript placement, contemporary social and legal issues, and sociological changes affecting the audience, this work explores an analytical reading of each work that establishes possible meanings for each romance and possible motivations for their unnamed authors. Each work is ascribed its own chapter, focusing on a particular issue of English knighthood being interrogated. Chapter three suggests that Sir Gawain and the Green Knight repurposes the character of Gawain to observe the importance of oath taking and the bonds formed by knights from the practice of such. Chapter four focuses on the message of Athelston and argues that the work repositions the power of the crown beneath iii that of a regularized judicial system in which knights function as jurists.

  • Doctrinal Controversies of the Carolingian Renaissance: Gottschalk of Orbais’ Teachings on Predestination*
    ROCZNIKI FILOZOFICZNE Tom LXV, numer 3 – 2017 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18290/rf.2017.65.3-3 ANDRZEJ P. STEFAŃCZYK * DOCTRINAL CONTROVERSIES OF THE CAROLINGIAN RENAISSANCE: GOTTSCHALK OF ORBAIS’ TEACHINGS ON PREDESTINATION* This paper is intended to outline the main areas of controversy in the dispute over predestination in the 9th century, which shook up or electrified the whole world of contemporary Western Christianity and was the most se- rious doctrinal crisis since Christian antiquity. In the first part I will sketch out the consequences of the writings of St. Augustine and the revival of sci- entific life and theological and philosophical reflection, which resulted in the emergence of new solutions and aporias in Christian doctrine—the dispute over the Eucharist and the controversy about trina deitas. In the second part, which constitutes the main body of the article, I will focus on the presenta- tion of four sources of controversies in the dispute over predestination, whose inventor and proponent was Gottschalk of Orbais, namely: (i) the concept of God, (ii) the meaning of grace, nature and free will, (iii) the rela- tion of foreknowledge to predestination, and (iv) the doctrine of redemption, i.e., in particular, the relation of justice to mercy. The article is mainly an attempt at an interpretation of the texts of the epoch, mainly by Gottschalk of Orbais1 and his adversary, Hincmar of Reims.2 I will point out the dif- Dr ANDRZEJ P.

  • Commentary of Rabanus Maurus on the Book of Esther
    Draft version 1.1. (c) 2015 The Herzl Institute, Jerusalem All rights reserved Commentary of Rabanus Maurus On the Book of Esther Published 836 Translated from Latin by Peter Wyetzner FOREWORD TO THE EMPRESS JUDITH The Book of Esther, which the Hebrews count among the Writings, contains in the form of mysteries many of the hidden truths of Christ and of the Church—that is, Esther herself, in a prefiguration of the Church, frees the people from danger; and after Haman—whose name is interpreted as wickedness—is killed, she assigns future generations a part in the feast and the festival day. In fact, the translator of the biblical narrative claims that he has copied this book from the documents of the Hebrews, and rendered it straightforwardly and word for word; and yet he did not omit entirely what he found in the Vulgate edition, rather after translating with complete fidelity the Hebrew original he added as an appendix to the end of the book the rest of the passages he found outside it. We have, moreover, explained in an allegorical fashion the material that has been drawn from the Hebrew source; while we have chosen to not to comment upon all the other passages that have been added to it in accordance with the language and the literature of the Greeks, and marked by an obel. But any serious reader can understand well enough the sense of these passages once he has carefully scrutinized the previous ones. And since you, noblest of queens, perceive so well the divine mysteries contained in the interpreted passages, you will no doubt arrive at a proper 1 understanding of the others.

This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. iii Acknowledgements I wish to thank my supervisors, Julia Barrow and William Flynn, for their sincere encouragement and dedication to this project. Heeding their advice early on made this research even more focused, interesting, and enjoyable than I had hoped it would be. The faculty and staff of the Institute for Medieval Studies and the Brotherton Library have been very supportive, and I am grateful to Melanie Brunner and Jonathan Jarrett for their good advice during my semesters of teaching while writing this thesis. I also wish to thank the Reading Room staff of the British Library at Boston Spa for their friendly and professional service. Finally, I would like to thank Jonathan Jarrett and Charles West for conducting such a gracious viva examination for the thesis, and Professor Stephen Alford for kindly hosting the examination. iv Abstract During the Carolingian renewal, Alcuin of York (c. 740–804) played a major role in promoting education for children who would later join the clergy, and encouraging advanced learning among mature clerics.
