The Manual for the Young Ones by Jan De Wael (1510): Pastoral Care for Religious Women in the Low Countries CHAPTER SIXTEEN THE MANUAL FOR THE YOUNG ONES BY JAN DE WAEL (1510): PASTORAL CARE FOR RELIGIOUS WOMEN IN THE LOW COUNTRIES Sabrina Corbellini Introduction In 1510 Jan de Wael, or Johannes Gallicus, confessor the community of tertiaries St Agnes in Amersfoort started writing his masterpiece, the Informieringheboeck der jongen [= Manual for the Young Ones], a treatise in which the novices and the young professed sisters were “instructed and informed about how to outline a program and plan for their spiritual exercises according to the directives contained in all our other books.”1 Th e Manual for the Young Ones is a unique source which off ers a complete insight into the pastoral care and life of a female community in late medieval Low Countries. In spite of the importance of this text for the reconstruction of female spirituality under infl uence of the Modern Devotion, theManual for the Young Ones has been largely neglected by researchers until now. Th is first extensive analysis of the treatise will shed some light on the intended recipients of the treatise, the tertiaries of the convent of St Agnes in Amersfoort, and its author, Jan de Wael. Aft er a discussion of the posi- tion of the Manual in Jan de Wael’s textual production, this essay will investigate the educational project described in the Manual with a specifi c stress on the relevance of reading and writing activities for the spiritual development of the sisters. 1 Th e autograph manuscript of the Informieringhe der jongen is kept in the City Library (Stadsbibliotheek) of Haarlem (hereaft er Haarlem, SB), 187 D 11. 390 sabrina corbellini Jan de Wael and the Convent of St Agnes in Amersfoort Th e manuscript of the Manual for the Young Ones contains the owner- ship mark of the convent of tertiaries of St Agnes in Amersfoort and is signed on the last folio by Jan de Wael.2 Jan was confessor of the Amersfoort community in the diocese of Utrecht between 1489 and 1531. In the period when the Modern Devotion was sweeping through the diocese of Utrecht, the convent of St Agnes was founded in 1380 as a community of Sisters of Common Life and took on the Th ird Rule of St Francis in 1399. It was enclosed some years later. Th e convent was affi liated with the Chapter of Utrecht, a central organization of male and female communities following the Th ird Rule of St Francis led by a minister general, who was responsible for establishing uniformity in spiritual and practical life.3 Tertiaries did not belong to the sphere of infl uence of the Franciscans; but along with the houses of Brethrens and Sisters of Common Life and mon- asteries of Augustinian nuns, they were one of the manifestations of the Modern Devotion. Th e Chapter of Utrecht was offi cially “born” in Amersfoort in 1399: About Easter 1399 Willem Hendriksz of Amersfoort, Wermboud [van Boskoop] of Utrecht, Gijbert [Dou] of Amsterdam, Hugo [Goudsmit] of Haarlem, Pouwels Albertsz. of Medemblik and Herman of Gouda and some other priests held a gathering in Amersfoort. Th ey approved the decision of the aforementioned brothers to take the Th ird Rule of St. Francis, confi rmed by Pope Nicholas IV. Th ey also agreed to follow the statutes approved by Pope Boniface IX. Together with their profession, they were also allowed to take the vow of chastity. And in that year the Order of Penance following the Th ird Rule of St. Francis got off to its start in the diocese of Utrecht, for the glory of God and the redemption of souls.4 2 Haarlem, SB, 187 D 11, fol. 152r: “Dit informieringheboek hoert toe den besloeten susteren der derden orden sancti francisci van sanct Agnieten Convent tot Amers- foerdt. Salichlick. 1510.” Also Haarlem, SB, 187 D 11, fol. 172v: “Johannes Gallicus. Conventus sanctae Agnetis in Amersfordia.” 3 Th e history of the Th ird Order of St. Francis in the diocese Utrecht has been reconstructed in a research project at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, lead by prof. dr. Koen Goudriaan. Key publications on this subject have been published by the members of the research project in a thematic issue of Ons Geestelijk Erf 74–1/2 (2000) and Trajecta 14–2 (2005).

  • Pontifex Maximus
    bs_bs_banner Journal of Religious History Vol. ••, No. ••, •• 2016 doi: 10.1111/1467-9809.12400 ROALD DIJKSTRA AND DORINE VAN ESPELO Anchoring Pontifical Authority: A Reconsideration of the Papal Employment of the Title Pontifex Maximus It is a common assumption that the title of supreme priesthood or pontifex maximus is included in the official papal titulature, and it has been supposed that the Roman bishop adopted it from the Roman emperor in late antiquity. In fact, however, it was probably not until the fifteenth century that the designation was first used by the papacy, and it has continued to be part of papal representation ever since. The title was deeply rooted in the Roman imperial past. At several stages in papal history the papal agency felt the need to draw back (again) on this ancient, traditional title and managed to successfully (re-)introduce the title by anchoring it in the cultural biogra- phy of the papacy. Introduction Since Antiquity, the interplay between the Roman bishops and secular rulers has been subject to continuous transformation and renegotiation, as both groups continually reverted to established traditions in order to sustain legiti- macy and pre-eminence.1 At the same time, however, modes of representation had to be innovative in order to appeal to contemporary tastes, needs, and ex- pectations. Anchoring these novelties in tradition was a convenient means of implementing, and reinforcing, the desired effect, and tracing these processes of embedding the new in the familiar offers us the possibility of understanding cultural, political, and religious transformation. An outstanding example of this kind of “anchoring innovation” is that of Roman episcopal titulature, as can be 1.

  • Ungarn-Jahrbuch 1979
    Imre Bard, Honolulu (Hawaii) The Break of 1404 Between the Hungarian Church and Rome Since World War II, Hungarian historians paid relatively little atten­ tion to the late medieval church, except Professors Elemér Mályusz and Erik Fügedi. The results of the Hungarian scholarship on the subject can be stated in a few sentences. The most positive achievement of King Sigismund's fifty year's long reign (1387—1437) was its church policy, which was inspired by the clergy. The essence of this policy was the radical curtailment of papal rights in the Hungarian church and the corresponding increase of the royal right of patronage (called főke­ gyúri jog in Hungarian) in ecclesiastical affairs. The resulting inde­ pendence of the Hungarian church from Rome meant that the papacy lost incomes which it earlier derived from the filling of benefices and from the appeals to the papal court. But it also meant the subjection of the Hungarian church to the state. Between 1404—17, King Sigismund either left archbishoprics and bishoprics vacant, or filled them with his own men, including barons. Also, the incomes of sees were partly divert­ ed into the royal treasury1. The object of this essay is to reexamine the conclusions of the Hun­ garian historians about the changing relationship among the Hungarian church, the papacy and the state. The scope of the break requires clari­ fication, its causes involve papal as. well as Hungarian politics, and its consequences should be evaluated within the larger context of the re­ lationship between church and state during the late middle ages.

  • Birgitta of Sweden in Northern Germany: Translation, Transmission and Reception
    CHAPTER NINE BIRGITTA OF SWEDEN IN NORTHERN GERMANY: TRANSLATION, TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION Elizabeth Andersen Birgitta of Sweden (1303–73), the most important saint of northern Europe, exercised a profound influence on the spirituality of the late Middle Ages through the Revelationes Sanctæ Birgittæ which record her prophetic visions.1 She stands first in a line of late-medieval female prophets, includ- ing her near contemporary Catherine of Siena, and Joan of Arc. Within the context of this volume Birgitta is a key figure in the transmission of mystical thought. The translation and adaptation of the voluminous Revelationes in northern Germany highlight the central importance of Lübeck as a hub for the dissemination of texts through the new art of printing, and reveal the significance of the Hanseatic League (Hanse) as a network for cultural exchange. This chapter has as its focus two incunables, from the Lübeck print- ing houses, which epitomize the transformation from the visionary to the devotional, that process which is so central to many of the contributions in this volume: the Revelationes Sanctæ Birgittæ, printed by Bartholomäus Ghotan in 1492, and the Low German Sunte Birgitten Openbaringe, printed by the Mohnkopf Press in 1496. Although the interval of time between the printing of these texts is only four years, they represent different stages in the cult of Birgitta of Sweden. The Revelationes is the work of Birgitta’s confessors who translated the revelations she wrote and dictated into Latin. The shaping of these revelations by Alfonso of Jaén, as the chief editor, was done with the express purpose of making the case for the canonization of Birgitta, which succeeded in 1391.

Welstandsnota Utrecht: De Schoonheid van Utrecht - juni 2004/ december 2015 | 01-NO-002 Noordoost Wijkbeschrijving Index De volgende gebieden maken deel uit van de wijk Noordoost • Tuindorp Wijkbeschrijving • Voordorp Tuindorp • Votulast, Wittevrouwen - Zeeheldenbuurt Voordorp De wijk Noordoost wordt begrensd door de Weerdsingel, Wittevrouwensingel, de Vecht, Wittevrouwen... de spoorlijn Utrecht - Amersfoort, de gemeentegrenzen van Maartensdijk en De Bilt en de Biltstraat - Biltsestraatweg. In Noordoost is duidelijk de groei van de stad te herkennen: direct aan het centrum grenst het deel dat medio negentiende eeuw is gerealiseerd en naarmate de stad zich verder uitbreidde is naar het oosten toe jongere bebouwing te vinden. Voordorp is zelfs pas in de jaren negentig van de vorige eeuw gebouwd. Kortom: voor wat betreft de bebouwingsperiode en de bouwstijl is de wijk niet onder één noemer te vangen. Dit alles heeft tot een verdeling in subwijken en buurten geleid aan de hand waarvan de wijk gekarakteriseerd kan worden. Het karakter van de wijk Noordoost wordt bepaald door de aanwezigheid van een groot aantal gebiedsontsluitingswegen, waterlopen en groenvoorzieningen. Deze structurerende elementen verdelen de wijk in vele kleinere gebiedseenheden. De belangrijkste ontsluitingswegen zijn de Blauwkapelseweg en (in het verlengde daarvan) de Eykmanlaan, de Kardinaal de Jongweg, de Biltse Rading, de Biltstraat en de Biltsestraatweg. De Sartreweg, met in het verlengde daarvan de verhoogde Waterlinieweg (wijk Oost) en tevens de Kapteynlaan en Eykmanlaan, ontsluiten de jongste subwijk in Noordoost: Voordorp. De Biltsche Grift, de Koekoeksvaart en het Zwarte Water zijn de belangrijkste waterlopen.

Its history shows how the prospect of a large-scale U-PHS for The Netherlands (a country whose proverbial flatness prohibits PHS) has been attractive in every decade, based on proven technology in a subsurface location with validated properties, and solid analysis of its economics. Although the ongoing energy transition clearly requires massive electricity storage, (U-)PHS projects are challenging investment propositions, in The Netherlands, as elsewhere. This case study illustrates a point of general relevance, namely that although the project execution risk, related to uncertainty with respect to subsurface integrity, is very low, the transition risk, associated with the intrinsic uncertainties of an electricity system in transition, is significant.
