    Cécile Caby Faire du monde un ermitage: Pietro Orseolo, doge et ermite* [In corso di stampa in Guerriers et moines. Conversion et sainteté aristocratiques dans l'Occident médiéval (IX e-XIIe siècle) (Collection du Centre d'Études médiévales, 4), a cura di M. Lauwers, Nice 2002 © dell'autrice - Distribuito in formato digitale da "Reti Medievali"] Longum preterea nominatim exequi quot quam claros Cristo servos sibi discipulos ambiendo [Romualdus] quesierit, in quibus et duces et comites et filii comitum fuerunt, quin et ipse romanus imperator Otto (Pétrarque, De Vita solitaria, II, viii) Si le culte de Pietro Orseolo n'eut qu'un rayonnement limité, son dossier hagiographique et biographique est en revanche exceptionnellement riche en raison de la place occupée à Venise par le doge converti au monastère et sa famille, de sa rencontre sur la voie de la conversion avec un personnage phare des mouvements réformateurs de l'An Mil, Romuald de Ravenne, et enfin de la révérence dont il fut entouré dans son monastère de retraite (Saint-Michel de Cuxa) dans les années qui suivirent sa mort, années qui coïncident avec l'abbatiat d'Oliba à Cuxa et Ripoll. Compte tenu de la complexité des sources, il faut pour commencer en démêler l'écheveau avant de parcourir les principaux épisodes de la conversion de Pietro Orseolo et de ses compagnons1, de façon à pouvoir, dans un dernier temps, cerner, à travers cette expérience singulière, un modèle élitiste de sainteté et de conversion laïque, ou plutôt, comme nous le verrons, un modèle participant d'une cascade de conversions de grands laïcs permettant de repérer dans l'entourage de Pietro Orseolo la mise en pratique, en partant du sommet de la société, de l'idéal de transformation du monde en un ermitage attribué par le jeune Pierre Damien à Romuald de Ravenne.

    MASS TIMES AND INTENTIONS St. Romuald, Abbot - Feast day: Saturday, June 19 Saint Romuald, who founded the Camaldolese monastic order during the early eleventh century, has his liturgical memorial on June 19. Working within the Western Church’s Benedictine tradition, he revived the primitive monastic practice of hermit life, allowing for greater solitude in a communal setting. Born into an aristocratic family during the middle of the tenth century, Romuald grew up in a luxurious and worldly environment, where he learned little in the way of self-restraint or religious devotion. Yet he also felt an unusual attraction toward the simplicity of monastic life, prompted by the beauty of nature and the experience of solitude . It was not beauty or tranquility, but a shocking tragedy that spurred him to act on this desire. When Romuald was 20 years old, he saw his father Sergius kill one of his relatives in a dispute over some property. Disgusted by the crime he had witnessed, the young man went to the Monastery of St. Apollinaris to do 40 days of penance for his father. These 40 days confirmed Romuald’s monastic calling, as they became the foundation for an entire life of penance. ...He left the area near Ravenna and went to Venice, where he became the disciple of the hermit Marinus. Both men went on to encourage the monastic vocation of Peter Urseolus, a Venetian political leader who would later be canonized as a saint. When Peter joined a French Benedictine monastery, Romuald followed him and lived for five years in a nearby hermitage.

  • Thesis (PDF, 534.29KB)
    Passions of the Pope: Analysing emotional rhetoric in Pope Gregory VII’s letters Kieryn Mascarenhas 2020 Illustration of Pope Gregory VII from Paul of Bernried’s Vita Gregorii VII (c. 1128), Heiligenkreuz Abbey, Austria A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of BA (Hons) in History, University of Sydney ABSTRACT In recent years, emotions have become a popular lens for historical analysis. Building on existing scholarship, this thesis explores the emotions of Pope Gregory VII, an eleventh- century pope notable for his reform efforts and role in the Investiture Controversy. Focusing on Gregory’s papal letters, this study will analyse the displays of three key emotions: anger, love, and sorrow, to determine how and why Gregory used these displays to achieve his political and religious objectives. Gregory wielded emotional rhetoric in his papal letters to solidify his papal authority, construct and maintain key relationships, and garner support for his reform agenda. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to Dr Hélène Sirantoine and Dr John Gagné. I could not have asked for better supervisors. I would like to thank them both for all their insightful recommendations and feedback, as well as their tremendous help in allaying the worst of my anxieties. I would also like to express my appreciation of the help and direction given to me in the wake of my prospectus by the Honours programme coordinator, Dr Andres Rodriguez. I want to thank my family for their patience and encouragement throughout this past year. My gratitude is also due to all the friends that I’ve grumbled about this project to.

Noah’s Ark or the Barque of St. Peter represent the community of the saved and redeemed. However, since Plato at least, the ship also symbolizes the Greek polis and later the Roman Empire. From the fourth century ‒ the Constantinian era ‒ on, these traditions merged. Christianity was made the state religion. Over the course of a millennium, church and state united in a religiously homogeneous, yet not always harmonious, Corpus Christianum. In the sixteenth century, the Reformation led to disenchantment with the sacred character of both church and state as mediators indispensible for religious and secular salvation.
