Sicut Scintilla Ignis in Medio Maris: Theological Despair in the Works of Isidore of Seville, Hrotsvit of Gandersheim and Dante Alighieri
SICUT SCINTILLA IGNIS IN MEDIO MARIS: THEOLOGICAL DESPAIR IN THE WORKS OF ISIDORE OF SEVILLE, HROTSVIT OF GANDERSHEIM AND DANTE ALIGHIERI by Kristen Leigh Allen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Kristen Leigh Allen 2009 Abstract Sicut scintilla ignis in medio maris: Theological Despair in the Works of Isidore of Seville, Hrotsvit of Gandersheim and Dante Alighieri. Doctor of Philosophy, 2009. Kristen Leigh Allen, Graduate Centre for Medieval Studies, University of Toronto. When discussing the concept of despair in the Middle Ages, scholars often note how strongly medieval people linked despair with suicide. Indeed, one finds the most recent and comprehensive treatment of the topic in Alexander Murray’s Suicide in the Middle Ages. Murray concludes that most medieval suicides had suffered from “this- worldly” despair, brought on by fatal illness, emotional or material stress, or some other unbearable circumstance. However, Murray also observes that medieval theologians and the people they influenced came to attribute suicide to theological despair, i.e. a failure to hope for God’s mercy. This dissertation investigates the work of three well-known medieval authors who wrote about and very likely experienced such theological despair. In keeping with Murray’s findings, none of these three ultimately committed suicide, thus allowing me to explore how medieval people overcame their theological despair. I have chosen these three authors because they not only wrote about theological despair, but drew from their own experiences when doing so. Their personal testimony was intended to equip their readers with the spiritual tools necessary to overcome their own despair. -
Exploring Representations of Early Modern German Women Book Collectors (1650-1780)
CURATING THE COLLECTOR: EXPLORING REPRESENTATIONS OF EARLY MODERN GERMAN WOMEN BOOK COLLECTORS (1650-1780) BY KATHLEEN MARIE SMITH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Mara R. Wade, Chair Associate Professor Laurie Johnson Associate Professor Stephanie Hilger Professor Carl Niekerk Professor Tom D. Kilton, Emeritus ABSTRACT This dissertation examines representations of book collecting by German women in the early modern period in order to explore the role of gender in this activity. Portrayals of book collectors in the modern and early modern eras offer examples of how this identity is constructed, particularly in the underlying assumptions and expectations that determine who is defined as a book collector and what criteria are used to shape that decision. In the case of four early modern women--Elisabeth Sophie Marie of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (1683-1767); Elisabeth Ernestine Antonie of Sachsen-Meiningen (1681-1766); Caroline of Ansbach (1683- 1737); and Wilhelmine of Bayreuth (1709-1758)--the act of collecting is depicted as essential to their social status and an integral part of their lives. Finally, in an in-depth case study of an early modern German woman who was a book collector, Sophie of Hanover (1630-1714), this study analyzes how she represented her collecting activities and textual interaction as well as how she is represented in other texts. The way in which these early modern German women were represented and represented themselves as collectors reveals a great deal about the position of women within wider networks concerning the exchange of texts and information. -
Limburger Geschichte
Ludwig Corden Limburger Geschichte Band I (bis 1258) Aus dem Lateinischen übersetzt von Joseph Wingenbach, bearbeitet von Franz-Karl Nieder Zweite Auflage (Digitalisat) © by Franz-Karl Nieder Limburg 2008 - I - Einführung Informationen zu Band I. Corden hatte die Historia Limburgensis zunächst auf nur zwei Bände konzipiert; der erste Band sollte die Geschichte bis zum Aussterben der Isenburger Dynasten, also bis zum Jahre 1406 behandeln. Während der Bearbeitung merkte er aber, dass der Band zu umfangreich würde; so verteilte er ihn auf zwei Bände; die Zeit ab 1406 wurde dann in Band III dargestellt. Am 31. Dezember 1779 setzte Corden, 39 Jahre alt, seinen Namen unter das Vorwort der Urfassung der "Pars prima" (Teil I). In 730 Paragraphen wird die Geschichte "ab aera condita urbis Roma 699 ad aeram Christi 1258, ad Divisionem fratrum Gerlaci et Henrici Isenburgensium" (vom Jahr 699 nach Gründung der Stadt Rom bis zur Güterteilung der Isenburger Brüder Gerlach und Heinrich 1258) gebracht, wie der Buchtitel aussagt. Pars I trägt die Jahreszahl 1779. Der Band ging an Prof. Georg Christian Neller in Trier zur Begutachtung. Neller schickte elf Bogenseiten mit Bemerkungen zurück - und vermerkte außerdem, dass die Arbeit in manchen Teilen etwas zu weitschweifig sei. Corden unterzog daraufhin Band I noch einmal einer Überarbeitung, was an manchen Stellen große Änderungen notwendig machten; in "Zweite Periode - Dritte Abhandlung - Abschnitt II" mussten z. B. die Überschriften und fünf Paragraphen geändert werden. Seine Behauptung, Limburg sei nach -
Limburg Vor Dem Jahr 910
- 1 - Franz-Karl Nieder Limburg vor dem Jahr 910 König Ludwig das Kind schenkte dem Grafen des Lahngaues Konrad, gen. Kurzbold, seinen Königs- hof in Niederbrechen, damit Konrad mit diesem seine Kirche, die er „in monte quodam Lintburk vocato in Logenahe“ (auf einem Berg, Lintburk genannt) zu erbauen im Begriff war, ausstatten sollte. Die Herkunft des Namens „Lintburk“ ist für Mechtel und später auch für Corden klar; der Name „kommt von dem Bache Linter, der sich auf der Ostseite am Fuß des Berges in die Lahn ergießt“.1 So wie die „Weilburg“ an der Mündung der Weil, so liegt die Lintburg an der Mündung des Linter- baches. Demnach haben der Linterbach der Lintburg, und diese dem erst später entstandenen Ort Limburg den Namen gegeben. Sowohl Gensicke wie auch Heck halten Linter für einen keltischen Gewässernamen. Die Merowinger ans der Lahn Wann die Lintburg auf dem Lahnfelsen gebaut wurde, ist unbekannt. Gesicherte schriftliche Quellen fehlen; so müssen wir uns behutsam und vorsichtig auf Spurensuche begeben. Struck und Gensicke sehen gute Gründe für eine Gründung der Lintburg in merowingischer Zeit. 2 Um die Herrschafts- verhältnisse an der mittleren Lahn vor dem Auftreten der Konradiner zu beschreiben, sei auf das Auftreten der Franken nach dem Zusammenbruch der römischen Herrschaft in Gallien und am Rhein hingewiesen. Die Franken „begegnen in den antiken Quellen erstmals im Zusammenhang mit den großen Invasionen, die in den Jahren 257-261 und 270/74-278 das Imperium Romanum erschütterten. Sie erscheinen als ein Bund von Völkerschaften, die zumeist schon in der älteren Kaiserzeit zwischen Rhein und Weser bezeugt sind“ .3 Die einzelnen Stämme standen unter eigenen Anführern, die als „reges“ oder „duces“ bezeichnet wurden. -

Torben R. Gebhardt (Münster) From Bretwalda to Basileus: Imperial Concepts in Late Anglo- Saxon England? In 924 Æthelstan ascended the throne of Mercia after the death of his father Edward, while his younger half- brother Ælfweard received the crown Torben R. Gebhardt of Wessex. The question whether or not this division of Edward’s realm Imperial Concepts in Late Anglo-Saxon England would have proven to be permanent was rendered obsolete by the death of Ælfweard only sixteen days after his father’s, leaving Æthelstan as the sole sovereign of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom.1 This kingdom in itself was already a conglomerate. A kingdom forged by Edward the Elder who ob- tained direct rule over Mercia in 918 and was accepted to fæder and to hla- forde2 by the kingdoms of York, Scotland and Wales. Yet it was Æthelstan who established direct rule over the Yorkish kingdom in the north, which was never held by a southern king before. Hence, historians, medieval and modern alike, for instance Sarah Foot in a recent biography, often styled him “First king of the English”.3 Yet, it might well be that this title, already loaded with a variety of implications which are hard to prove beyond doubt, does not reflect the aspirations of the king to their fullest, but that he con- templated over an imperial claim. Æthelstan is frequently called rex totius Britanniæ (“king of all Britain”) and even basileus,4 titles implying an im- 1 Foot, Sarah: Æthelstan. The First King of England.

Bei der Rekonstruktion der Comitate werden wir auch die kirchliche Gliederung nicht benutzen, da auch die Frage, ob Comitate und kirch liche Gliederung zusammenhingen, noch offen ist. Infolge dieser Beschränkung ist das zur Verfügung stehende Material nur gering. Wir werden deshalb nicht scharf gegeneinander abgegrenzte Comitate erhalten, sondern mehr oder weniger große Gebietskomplexe, von denen wir nachweisen werden, daß sie zu verschiedenen Cornitaten gehörten. Wir nehmen an, daß die zu rekonstruierenden Comitate Verwaltungsbezirke waren wie unsere Landkreise und Regierungsbezirke (der Größe nach liegen sie zwischen diesen beiden). Die Comitate müssen also wie die Maschen eines Netzes aneinander gehangen haben. -

British Royal Ancestry Book 5
GRANHOLM GENEALOGY BRITISH ROYAL ANCESTRY, BOOK 5 Kings of Anglo-Saxony INTRODUCTION The British ancestry is very much a patchwork of various beginnings. Until King Alfred the Great established England various Kings ruled separate parts. In most cases the initial ruler came from the mainland. That time of the history is shrouded in myths, which turn into legends and subsequent into history. Alfred the Great (849-901) was a very learned man and studied all available past history and especially biblical information. He came up with the concept that he was the 72nd generation descendant of Adam and Eve. Moreover he was a 17th generation descendant of Woden (Odin). Proponents of one theory claim that he was the descendant of Noah’s son Sem (Shem) because he claimed to descend from Sceaf, a marooned man who came to Britain on a boat after a flood. See the Biblical Ancestry and Early Mythology Ancestry books). The book British Mythical Royal Ancestry from King Brutus shows the mythical kings including Shakespeare’s King Lair. The lineages are from a common ancestor, Priam King of Troy. His one daughter Troana leads to us via Sceaf, the descendants from his other daughter Creusa lead to the British linage. No attempt has been made to connect these rulers with the historical ones. Before Alfred the Great formed a unified England several Royal Houses ruled the various parts. Not all of them have any clear lineages to the present times, i.e. our ancestors, but some do. I have collected information which show these. These include British Royal Ancestry Book 1, Legendary Kings from Brutus of Troy to including Shakespeare’s King Leir. -

From Greek Herbals to Leek Plants
Chapter 25 From Greek herbals to Leek Plants November 2002. One of a series of Chapters by Dr. John S. Plant, Keele University, England, ST5 5BG. FROM CELTS AND PLANTARDS TO PLANTAGENETS AND LEEK PLANTS1 arly Plant-like names may be related to sense found in Greek herbals and to a subsequent “Merovingian E culture”. Also Celtic traditions, assimilated into early Christian teachings, may be traced through to late medieval times. Such medieval considerations, for the formative meanings of Plant-like names, seem at least as important as sense derived from modern French and English meanings to the words. Though ideally the initial DNA evidence should be checked, by measuring more DNA markers, the evidence already casts doubt on an idea that Plant originated as a widely spread occupational name. Instead, the DNA evidence supports surviving documentary evidence that an early single-family Plant homeland was near “Celtic” Wales. Early documentary evidence of Plants elsewhere, however, suggests that the Plants were more than an immobile single family. Further DNA testing is relevant, not least for the important French and English name Planta- genet. A strict consideration of the medieval evidence for the Plantagenet name is included in this Chapter as well as later records for Plant in its evident Leek homeland. 25.1 Diverse views on the meanings of Plant-like names n discussions of the previous Chapters, three main strands can be identified in unraveling meanings for Plant-like names. There is (1) commonly supposed sense as a ‘gardener’, (2) more esoteric ‘soul implant’ sense relating to a ‘progeny’ or ‘child’ meaning of the Welsh or archaic English word plant, and (3) sense of influence from the historically important names Plantard and Plantagenet.
