The 2012 conference included graduate student participants from thirty-two consortium universities, and from thirteen US states, Canada, England and Scotland. There were sixty-four individual presenters in sixteen sessions across the three days, January 26-28, 2012. Not only was the 2012 multidisciplinary conference an occasion for graduate students to share their work, but the event could not have taken place without the dedicated work of the seven graduate student organizers on the planning committee who, in the midst of their own research and teaching duties, selected papers, formed panels and, on the final day of the conference, chose the twelve papers contained in this collection to represent what they considered to be the very best work from the many excellent conference presentations. Over the course of the next several months these graduate student organizers became editors, each working with one or two authors to get the original conference papers in shape for publication. The title of this collection of essays, A Mirror for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, is inspired by the numerous works across the medieval and early modern periods that presented themselves as a speculum or “mirror” for the reader. Vincent de Beauvais’ Speculum Maius is a fourteenth-century example of such a text, while A Mirror for Magistrates is one well-known title from sixteenth-century England. Containing a diverse assortment of stories, poems, theological works, natural history, and other assorted texts, such speculae or mirrors were intended to present the reader with a reflection of the world, and to cause the reader to engage in intellectual and spiritual reflection in turn. As work by new, upcoming scholars in the field from a variety of disciplines—art history, ecclesiastical history, English, history, medieval studies, music, philosophy—these articles present their reader with both a reflection of the field of early period studies as it stands today, and a chance to reflect upon what changes and new discoveries are beginning to arrive with the next generation of scholarship. Laura Aydelotte is the Interim Assistant Director for the Newberry Center for Renaissance Studies, and is soon to complete her Ph.D. in English at the University of Chicago. 3 Introduction A Mirror for Medieval and Early Modern Studies Turning ―wyne into water‖ The Erasmian Reimagining of the Virgin Mary By Stephen Bates In 1535, Thomas Cromwell‘s commissioners issued a set of Articles of Inquiry for the Augustinian monastery of Walsingham. They comprised a detailed list of questions relating to religious devotion at the famous Marian shrine: what relics were there and ―what vertue was esteemed of the people to be in theym‖? Why were they spread about the church rather than kept in one place? What was the annual value of the offerings to the Virgin and the relics? What miracles were claimed or preached? What proof was there that such miracles were carried out by the Virgin, or even her statue at Walsingham, rather than any other image, as opposed to the immediate help of God, or simply natural causes? The visitors expressed particular concern over ―whether our Lady‘s milke be liquid or no?‖ One enigmatic article asked specifically concerning ―the house where the bere skynne is, and of the knyght.‖1 These were unmistakable references to the account given by Desiderius Erasmus (d. 1536) in one of his Colloquies relating his own pilgrimage to Walsingham, thinly veiled as a dialogue from which schoolboys might learn their Latin. Consequently, there is a historiographical assumption that Erasmian skepticism lay at the root of Thomas Cromwell‘s assault on pilgrimages and devotion to the saints.2 Yet the writings of Erasmus are not the work of an anti-Marian iconoclast; rather, they reveal the less polemical intention of recovering the place of the Virgin in popular piety. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explore how, in engaging with England‘s particular brand of late medieval devotion to the Virgin, the itinerant humanist reshaped his own Mariological understanding and unintentionally influenced that first wave of Henrician reform. Erasmus added the Pergrinatio Religionis Ergo to the 1526 edition of his Colloquia and it would appear in English translation as The Pilgrimage of Pure Devotion in 1537: a timely fanfare preceding 1 BL, Harleian MS 791, fols 27r-28r; printed in John Gough Nichols, ed., Pilgrimages to Saint Mary of Walsingham and Saint Thomas of Canterbury by Desiderius

Mattison, III, Ph.D. Committee Member iii ABSTRACT THE VIRTUE OF PENANCE IN THE UNITED STATES, 1955-1975 Name: Morrow, Maria Christina University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Sandra A. Yocum This dissertation examines the conception of sin and the practice of penance among Catholics in the United States from 1955 to 1975. It begins with a brief historical account of sin and penance in Christian history, indicating the long tradition of performing penitential acts in response to the identification of one’s self as a sinner. The dissertation then considers the Thomistic account of sin and the response of penance, which is understood both as a sacrament (which destroys the sin) and as a virtue (the acts of which constitute the matter of the sacrament but also extend to include non-sacramental acts). This serves to provide a framework for understanding the way Catholics in the United States identified sin and sought to amend for it by use of the sacrament of penance as well as non-sacramental penitential acts of the virtue of penance.

It’s encouraging to see such a good group out on a fall day in the beautiful city of Columbus! I have three areas I would like to lift up as the topics of my reflections today: Europe and Germany at the time of the Reformation, Luther’s life and thought, and Luther, the flawed giant. We would need several hours to go into detail on any one of these topics, of course, but I hope that we can do them some justice in the time we have together.

  • Francisco António D´Almeida and the Serenata Genre in Early and Mid Eigtheenth-Century Portugal
    Francisco António d´Almeida and the Serenata Genre in Early and Mid Eigtheenth-Century Portugal. The music manuscript CIC 12 from the National Library of Portugal contains thirteen arias by Francisco António d´Almeida (1702-1755?), one of the most important Portuguese composers of the first half of the 18th century. Five of them have been identified as being part of the serenata Gl´Incanti d´Alcina of 1730. There are also eight arias from another serenata, Il vaticinio di Pallade e di Mercurio, staged a year later, in 1731. To study the libretti which were the sources of the identification of these arias and then the music present in the CIC 12 manuscript is of fundamental importance in understanding the serenata genre during the reign of King D. João V of Portugal. Consequently, this paper intends to enlarge our knowledge of the formal and stylistic structure of d´Almeida´s serenate and also to give an overview of the performing practices and the courtly and aristocratic significance associated with this genre. Particularly in the field of the study of Portuguese dramatic music of this period, the understanding of the serenata is of primary importance, since it was the principal musical event performed on courtly occasions. Its study gives us today a rich picture of the characteristics of musical life in the court of D. João V, and helps us simultaneously to understand the differences, in this period, between the genre of the serenata and major genres such as opera and cantata. The term serenata, as applied to 17th and 18th century Italy, means a cantata-like work performed in courtly or aristocratic surroundings to celebrate dynastic occasions or political events, or, as in Portugal, anniversaries and name-days of the Royal Family.

À afirmação imaterial e poética im- põe-se a pergunta terrena e material: e enquanto vivemos e sonhamos, não choramos, não cantamos, não amamos e não acreditamos em comunidade? Uma das mais poderosas formas de bem-estar e de reconciliação é a partilha comunitária da Música, de uma simples melodia, não sozinhos, mas cercados por milhares de vozes. Claro que existe essa barreira, quase indecifrável, que divide as emoções de massa da verdadeira consciência estética, mas a prova está nos resultados, esses bem decifrá- veis: perdemo-nos na multidão ou, no meio dela, nos descobrimos como indivíduos unidos, mesmo comungando das nossas diferenças? Porque acreditamos que a etimologia não engana e que comunhão e comunidade são da mesma família, porque acreditamos que certas formas públicas de abraçarmos as diversas fatias da cultura são vitais para que essa mesma cultura possa sobreviver, o Festival ao Largo regressa na sua já 8ª edição.

  • Martin Luther Worksheet
    Name: __________________________ MartinProtestant Luther (1483 - 1546) Reformation Martin Luther was a German monk and teacher of theology (religion). He troubled about the possibility of not going to heaven. He led a strict life, but was worried about sin. Luther read the writings of early Christian theologians, including St. Augustine, and the Bible. He found the answer he was looking for in Paul's Letter to the Romans (Romans 1:17 - "The righteous shall by his faith.") Only faith (in the ultimate goodness of Jesus), not good deeds, could save a person. No good works, rituals, etc. would save a person if they did not believe. Martin Luther prepares to burn the papal bull. Overall, Luther was a rather crude man. He had no trouble with talking about taking up arms against those who opposed him. He also saw fit to use foul language to combat evil. For example, he dismissed the Jewish rabbis' interpretations of Scripture as "Jewish piss and sh_ _." He thought his physical ailments were caused by the devil, who was trying to stop him. Before Martin Luther died, when he was very ill, he told his wife, "I am fed up with the world, and it with me. I am like a ripe stool, and the world is like a gigantic anus, and so we're about to let go of each other." The Beginnings Indulgences Tetzel, a friar, sold indulgences. Doctrines of indulgences taught that Christ and the saints had stored up a treasury of merit. Indulgences could reduce the amount of time spent in purgatory; did not bring forgiveness of sin.

  • WHAT PRICE INDULGENCES? TRENT and TODAY Pope Paul VI Believed It Useful to Promote the Practice of Indulgences
    WHAT PRICE INDULGENCES? TRENT AND TODAY Pope Paul VI believed it useful to promote the practice of indulgences. Indulgences, the Pope says, aid the individual in his own personal conversion and further the reconciliation of all men.1 Today, when the practice has very largely disappeared, one can well ask if the practice can really be so meaningful for our modern Church. Also, is it not with mixed feelings that an ecumenist has to look at a practice that Luther and the Reform found so repugnant? To understand what an indulgence is and can mean for the modern Church, this paper offers a survey of attitudes manifested in Tridentine debate on the matter. This small contribution is significant, I believe, because it reveals the theology out of which came the Catholic Church's most authoritative position on indulgences.2 And I find that the under­ standing gleaned from scanning this debate lends support to the inter­ pretation given to an indulgence by Poschmann and Rahner.3 QUESTIONS FOR DEBATE AT TRENT Shortly after promulgating its decree on sacraments in general (March 3,1547), the Council of Trent convened for a time at Bologna (March 25, 1547 to Sept. 13,1549). On June 19,1547, the papal legates handed several questions to the congregation of consultant theologians (these consultant 1 Cf.

  • The Five Solas of the Reformation
    The Five Solae of the Reformation II. The Roman Catholic View of Justification Date: June 9, 2013 Sola: Sola Fide Aim: To understand the historical Roman Catholic view of justification by faith. A. Introduction The Five Solas were the rallying points of the Protestant Reformation. • Sola Fide = Faith Alone • Sola Gratia = Faith Alone • Solus Christus = Christ Alone • Sola Scriptura = Scripture Alone • Soli Deo Gloria = Glory to God Alone The Protestant Reformation was in large part a controversy over how a man or woman is justified by God. The Roman Catholic Church argued that man is not justified by faith alone and apart from other works. The Protestant Reformers argued that man is justified by faith alone and apart from any other works or merit by man. The Protestant assertion that salvation is sola fide or through faith alone was a central issue in the sixteenth century Protestant Reformation. The debate over man’s justification before God was a significant issue in the 16th century. The question of man’s justification receives less attention today because of the dominance of relativism. The biblical truth of man’s condemnation outside of God’s justification needs to be preached and taught in the modern church. Many in the church do not truly believe in the doctrine of justification by faith alone and therefore do not emphasize it. The Gospel’s emphasis on the deliverance of man from God’s wrath has been forgotten in many Christian circles. The Gospel does not simply deliver us from bad habits, addictions, social failure, psychological deficiency, and broken relationships.
