  • Priscillian of Avila: Heretic Or Early Reformer? by Brian Wagner
    Priscillian of Avila: Heretic or Early Reformer? by Brian Wagner Introduction The Lord Jesus Christ said, “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:37).1 Though He was speaking of the last judgment, the principle of letting someone be judged, even in this life, by his own testimony is a sound one. The Bible also speaks of establishing one’s testimony in the mouth of two or three witnesses (1 Timothy 5:19), which is to be a safeguard against a false witness damaging someone’s reputation. History is a study of testimony. The primary source material written by an individual is often the best evidence by which to judge what that person believed and taught. Other contemporaries to that individual could also be used to evaluate whether he was presenting a consistent and coherent message at all times and whether his actions matched his words. As with all historical judgment of this kind, the testimony by friends or foes must be weighed with at least some suspicion of bias. Priscillian of Avila, from the fourth century, has been designated by most of history as a Christian heretic. This conclusion, made by many of his contemporary foes, led to his beheading by the civil authorities. After his death in A.D. 365, his writings were searched out for destruction, along with anyone promoting his teaching. Copies of some of his writings still survive. Very early ones, judged as possibly made within just a century of Priscillian’s martyrdom, were recovered at the University of Würzburg by Georg Schepss in 1885.

  • 1492 Reconsidered: Religious and Social Change in Fifteenth Century Ávila
    1492 RECONSIDERED: RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN FIFTEENTH CENTURY ÁVILA by Carolyn Salomons A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May 2014 © 2014 Carolyn Salomons All Rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation is an assessment of the impact of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 on the city of Ávila, in northwestern Castile. The expulsion was the culmination of a series of policies set forth by Isabel I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon regarding Jewish-Christian relations. The monarchs invoked these policies in order to bolster the faith and religious praxis of Catholics in the kingdoms, especially those Catholics newly converted from Judaism. My work shows how the implementation of these strategies began to fracture the heretofore relatively convivial relations between the confessional groups residing in Ávila. A key component of the Crown’s policies was the creation of a Jewish quarter in the city, where previously, Jews had lived wherever they chose. This transformation of a previously shared civic place to one demarcated clearly by religious affiliation, i.e. the creation of both Jewish and Christian space, had a visceral impact on how Christians related to their former neighbors, and hostilities between the two communities increased in the closing decades of the fifteenth century. Yet at the same time, Jewish appeals to the Crown for assistance in the face of harassment and persecution were almost always answered positively, with the Crown intervening several times on behalf of their Jewish subjects. This seemingly incongruous attitude reveals a key component in the relationship between the Crown and Jews: the “royal alliance.” My work also details how invoking that alliance came at the expense of the horizontal alliances between Abulense Jews and Christians, and only fostered antagonism between the confessional groups.

  • The Monastic Rules of Visigothic Iberia: a Study of Their Text and Language
    THE MONASTIC RULES OF VISIGOTHIC IBERIA: A STUDY OF THEIR TEXT AND LANGUAGE By NEIL ALLIES A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham July 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

Abstract This thesis is concerned with the monastic rules that were written in seventh century Iberia and the relationship that existed between them and their intended, contemporary, audience. It aims to investigate this relationship from three distinct, yet related, perspectives: physical, literary and philological. After establishing the historical and historiographical background of the texts, the thesis investigates firstly the presence of a monastic rule as a physical text and its role in a monastery and its relationship with issues of early medieval literacy. It then turns to look at the use of literary techniques and structures in the texts and their relationship with literary culture more generally at the time. Finally, the thesis turns to issues of the language that the monastic rules were written in and the relationship between the spoken and written registers not only of their authors, but also of their audiences.

  • The History of the Shroud
    MARK GUSCIN: THE HISTORY OF THE SHROUD Part One – Before the Thirteenth Century It is often said that the Shroud has no documented history before the thirteenth century; while it is true that we are all aware of the immense difficulties of establishing the Shroud’s history, the statement as such is somewhat misleading. It is often understood as meaning that there are no references to the Shroud before this date, and this is simply not true. In fact, there are numerous references to the conservation of the burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth from the very beginning of the Christian era – the problem comes when we try to equate the shroud mentioned in these documents with the cloth now kept in Turin. This is a very significant point: sceptics often say that there are no references to the Shroud – but there are. Hence in the title of this paper I have deliberately omitted the words “of Turin” after the word “Shroud”. Nevertheless, we are going to start this overview with an exception. There is one unmistakeable documentary reference to the Shroud of Turin from before the twelfth century. Well known to all Shroud scholars, its true significance is often overlooked. I am referring of course to Codex Pray, whose name is often misunderstood (at least in the English speaking world) as a reference to prayer. In fact, the name comes from the Jesuit György Pray, who discovered the manuscript in 1770. It is kept in the National Széchenyi library in Budapest, Hungary. It is the earliest known manuscript with a text in the Hungarian language, and so is an important national treasure.

  • Magic, Women, and Heresy in the Late Empire: the Case of the Priscillianists
    CHAPTER TWENTY -ONE MAGIC, WOMEN, AND HERESY IN THE LATE EMPIRE: THE CASE OF THE PRISCILLIANISTS Todd Breyfogle In the summer of 385, Priscillian, bishop of Avila, was executed in Trier by the imperial arm on charges of sorcery, nocturnal orgies, and praying naked. I The case of the Priscillianists is unusual on several counts. First, many of Priscillian's followers were wealthy aristocratic women. Second, Priscillian was an established and powerful bishop, whose road to execution was marked not by explicit accusations of magic but by allegations that he subscribed to Gnostic and Manichaean heresies. This essay looks anew at the Priscillianist affair in an effort to tease out the curious relation­ ships between magic, women, and heresy, and to ascertain what appeared magical to the fourth-century Christian mind. On the whole, modem scholarship has either not addressed the specific questions of magic or has treated magic as a legal device in the persecution of heresy.2 Heresy was not a capital crime, but magic was, prompting Gibbon's verdict that Priscillian was the first heretic to be executed by the state, 3 a judgment which has been frequently repeated. 4 More recent studies, however, have shown 1 I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. N. B. McLynn, who supervised my initial research on Priscillian, and to H. M D. Breyfogle, whose helpful sug~estions substantially improved the text. The topic of magic was all but neglected in the major studies by E.-Ch. Babut, Priscillien et le priscillienisme (Paris: H. Champion, 1909); J. Davids, De Orosio et Sancto Augustino Priscillianistarum Adversariis (The Hague: A.

  • El Papel De Los Ritos De Iniciación En La Unificación Del Reino Visigodo
    Hispania Sacra, LXXII 146, julio-diciembre 2020, 427-438, ISSN: 0018-215X, https://doi.org/10.3989/hs.2020.030 FROM ARIANISM TO ORTHODOXY: THE ROLE OF THE RITES OF INITIATION IN UNITING THE VISIGOTHIC KINGDOM* POR Nathan P. Chase1 Aquinas Institute of Theology Abstract Baptism played a key role in Visigothic Spain. Jamie Wood has argued that this was the result of attempts by religious and secular authorities to navigate the transition from Arianism to orthodoxy, and to forge a common Spanish identity. This article places Wood in dialogue with Christian McConnell, whose work has reframed our understanding of initiation in Visigothic Spain. This article argues that the blessing of chrism was the central symbol by which Visigothic bishops asserted their authority in order to stabilize the Church and in turn the Visigothic State. Key words: baptism; chrism; blessing of chrism; initiation; Visigothic; Spain; consensus; Jews; Arianism. DESDE EL ARRIANISMO A LA ORTODOXIA: EL PAPEL DE LOS RITOS DE INICIACIÓN EN LA UNIFICACIÓN DEL REINO VISIGODO Resumen El bautismo tuvo un papel clave en la España visigoda. Jamie Wood ha propuesto que este fenómeno fue el resultado de los esfuerzos de las autoridades religiosas y seculares en pilotar la transición desde el arrianismo a la ortodoxia, y en forjar una identi- dad hispana común. Este articulo pone a Wood en dialogo con Christian McConnell, cuya obra ha cambiado el pensamiento actual sobre la iniciación en el Reino Visigodo en España. El presente artículo argumenta que la bendición del crisma fue el símbolo central que utilizaban los obispos para ejercer su autoridad con el fin de estabilizar la Iglesia y el Estado visigodo.
