Rather than relying simply on modern studies of twelfth-century thought, she reads the original texts in some of the same ways that Abbess Herrad must have, following medieval cues in order to situate the manuscript within the Hohenbourg s wider intellectual life. Indeed, despite the study s title, the key concept that unlocks the HD s pedagogical structure is not so much time as 1Joyner compares its combination of artistic mastery and intellectual complexity to Suger s apse windows at St. Florescu, Comitatus, "Joyner has made a solid contribution to the study of twelfth-century monastic literature and to the study of the Hortus Deliciarum in particular.

It bolsters previous studies that have shown the level of sophisticated learning that was available at Hohenbourg, and thus furthers the case that medieval women's education could be more complex than currently thought.

In this close study of the art and history of the Hortus deliciarum, Danielle Joyner shows how the book reflected twelfth-century concerns, such as emphasizing a historical interpretation of the Bible and reconciling scientific and theological accounts of the cosmos. Destroyed in a bombing during the siege of Strasbourg, Herrad's lavishly illuminated manuscript was one of the earliest works created by a woman expressly for other women, the nuns training at the Hohenbourg abbey. In Joyner's lucid and compelling account, we rediscover the important role played by images for female monastics' understandings of the rich interplay between calendar and cosmos. Chapter 1 situates the Hortus Deliciarum historically through comparisons with 1 Romanesque manuscripts made for female audiences the Saint Albans Psalter , the Guta-Sintram Codex , the Liber Scivias of Hildegard of Bingen and 2 other twelfth-century monastic miscellanies such as the Speculum Virginum and Liber Floridus.

Skip to content Menu. What is different about these recent developments is the focus on student and public engagement. Painting the Hortus Deliciarum is a welcome addition to any medieval collection. Sensitive to slippages in the copying of pictorial, scientific, and textual sources, she argues that Herrad not only compiled an encyclopedia of traditional knowledge but also taught her community ways to seek new information from it and to formulate original ideas. It bolsters previous studies that have shown the level of sophisticated learning that was available at Hohenbourg, and thus furthers the case that medieval women's education could be more complex than currently thought. Painting the Hortus Deliciarum is a welcome addition to any medieval collection. Scholars and students of art history, medieval and early modern studies, religion, gender, and the history of the book will find Joyner's work especially valuable, compelling, and provoking. In her first chapter, Feminae, Libri, et Hortus deliciarum, Joyner situates the HD within our ever-expanding knowledge of the rich ways in which religious women of the twelfth century viewed, read, and wrote books.

A description of the codicological organization of the manuscript, as far as it is known, and a complete list of the contents textual and visual would have allowed the reader a greater basis for judging. Though no less complex and multi-layered than the Psalter and its elaborate visual narratives, the HD s text-image conversation is carefully and clearly structured and didactic.

I am partictularily interested in that history which has left tangible evidence in the form of many castles dotting the Vosges foothills and the fortified towns which often opposed them on the fertile plains below. Not only the towns and castles themselves but the ghosts of those who lived there, their concerns, motavations, and the broader European social currents that influenced and often inundated them. I have started with a backbone of articles describing the many castles which remain ever present. These are the transition civilation existing between an early Celtic and Roman world swamped by the growth of Frankish power, and by a later Europe shaped by new cities and ideas yet retaining the legacy of feudal/aristocratic ambitions and foibles. The ruins of ideas often as present as the castles themselves. Alsace is one of those border states (as it were) always part of larger neighboring regions without necessarily a unique history of its own.

  • THE CHRISTMAS MAGI Light and Might from the Persian East
    Thomas M. Prymak University of Toronto James Tissot, Journey of the Magi, c. 1894, Oil on Canvas, Minneapolis Institute of Art. THE CHRISTMAS MAGI Light and Might from the Persian East Thomas M. Prymak University of Toronto hristmas today is a winter festival and religious celebration widely spread throughout the world. Its basic elements, with the birth of Jesus, “the anointed of the Lord,” or Khrystos C (Christ) as he is titled, at the centre, and with motifs like “no room at the inn,” the manger, the angels, shepherds, Christmas Star, and the flight of the Holy Family to Egypt, are widely recognized and commemorated. The Three Wise Men from the East or “Magi,” who come to do homage to the newborn king, is one of these motifs. Most people, both Christians and others, think of this as a single harmonious story that is firmly grounded in Holy Scripture, especially the Gospels of the two Evangelists, Mathew and Luke. But the origins of the Christmas story as a whole are much more complicated than that. Christmas as we know it today is a rather new phenomenon. The plump, white-haired, red-suited Santa Claus, the frenzy of Christmas shopping, and the widespread exchange of gifts, were, in fact, invented almost yesterday. And while Santa or Ole Saint Nick (or Father January 29, 2019. 1 | P a g e Thomas M. Prymak University of Toronto Rembrandt van Rijn, “Adoration of the Magi,” 17th century, Oil on canvas, Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, Russia. In this striking painting, Rembrandt’s usual solemnity and depth are evident, though the darkness of the picture, with its variety of deep browns and controlled lighting, which are perhaps in part a result of the aging of the canvas, restrict the exultation that the birth of the saviour is supposed to have brought the world.

  • A Delightful Inheritance: Female Agency and the Disputatio Tradition
    A Delightful Inheritance: Female Agency and the Disputatio Tradition in the Hortus Deliciarum by Sarah C. Parker, BA; MA Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin August 2009 A Delightful Inheritance: Female Agency and the Disputatio Tradition in the Hortus Deliciarum APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: ___________________________________ Joan Holladay ___________________________________ Martha Newman A Delightful Inheritance: Female Agency and the Disputatio Tradition in the Hortus Deliciarum by Sarah C. Parker, MA The University of Texas at Austin, 2009 SUPERVISOR: Joan Holladay The Hortus deliciarum (ca. 1170-ca. 1194, destroyed 1870) was an encyclopedic salvation history created for the canonesses at the Augustinian convent of Hohenburg by their abbess Herrad. Despite the strong role of images in the canonesses‘ reception of the manuscript, the Hortus illuminations have thus far not merited a critical consideration. In this thesis, I analyze major individual illuminations in the Hortus as well as the manuscript‘s entire structure, and I suggest that Herrad designed the Hortus around contemporary apocalyptic ideas, such as those of Joachim of Fiore, while also illustrating the importance of debate and discussion to the body Christian. The overall composition of the Hortus showed the canonesses that God has chosen to share his knowledge with them. In significant individual images, Herrad showed her canonesses that they were to exercise this divine knowledge vocally, specifically through debate. In the Hortus, debate was shown as originating with Christianity‘s Jewish desert predecessors, and the canonesses were encouraged to consider themselves as heirs of this intellectual tradition.

Yet, the rites and plays that would form the category “liturgical drama” did not go unnoticed during that long span that preceded the category’s nativity. To be sure, earlier crit- ics addressed these texts in different ways, but for nearly all a clear dis- tinction between rite and play was assumed.

  • Antisemitisms: Facing the Longest Hatreds in a Post Holocaust World
    Cohen Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Keene State College Antisemitisms: Facing the Longest Hatreds in a post Holocaust World This introduction to the “world’s longest hatred” will be generally restricted to research focused on personal experiences. I will explore the role of antisemitism in the context of the development of Western European individual and collective identities that created an “imaginable” foundation for the Nazis. What are the roots of antisemitism? How do individual and collective identities shape its various expressions? How is it similar to and different from racism, bigotry, and prejudice? How has it manifested itself in different times and places? Were the Nazis different or part of a continuum? What is the role of imagination? How does antisemitism allow perpetrators to morally justify their actions by shifting their moral universe? Antisemitism is dynamic and durable. Many traditional tropes merge and are mutually exploited from the Left and the Right and reinforced by followers of white nationalist and white supremacist movements. Antisemitism is toxic for democracies. Focus questions: ➢ Where does antisemitism come from and how does it give meaning to individual and collective identities? ➢ How does antisemitism act as a “virus” – mutating to penetrate societal norms? ➢ Hate cannot be publicly aired without some form of justification. What sources of authority within cultures have legitimated antisemitism? For classroom discussion: ➢ What was surprising and/or interesting about this reading? ➢ What questions do you have of the text? What needs to be clarified for you? ➢ What are the important ideas and themes for you? ➢ How to deal with issues of identity? Antisemitism, broadly defined, are feelings, attitudes and acts of prejudice and hatred against Jews.
