Understanding the Visuality of a Medieval Visionary UNDERSTANDING THE VISUALITY OF A MEDIEVAL VISIONARY: FOURTEENTH-CENTURY DOMINICAN HENRY SUSO’S INTERWOVEN CONCEPTS OF DIVINE IMAGE, GENDERED IDENTITY, AND EPISTEMOLOGY J. Christian Straubhaar-Jones A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the UNC Department of Germanic & Slavic Languages and Literatures in the College of Arts and Sciences and in the Duke German Department in the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences.

Christian Straubhaar-Jones: Understanding the Visuality of a Medieval Visionary: Fourteenth- Century Dominican Henry Suso’s Interwoven Concepts of Divine Image, Gendered Identity, and Epistemology (Under the direction of Ann Marie Rasmussen) This dissertation is a study of visuality in fourteenth-century Swabian Dominican Henry Suso’s works. It explores the novel intersection of literary hagiographical discourses, scientific visuality discourses, and negative theological discourses, from late antique Greece to medieval Middle East, Spain, and Central Europe, culminating in Suso’s Middle High German works. Suso was rare among monks in that he wrote quasi-autobiographically in addition to more standard theological tracts. Previous scholars discussing Suso productively analyzed his use of devotional images, but they have failed to note the impact of the scientific understanding of vision in his works. The scientific component came to the Central Europe through Paris, where Franciscan scholars like Roger Bacon were reading, synthesizing, and adapting then cutting-edge Middle Eastern physiology as part of their natural philosophy. The most revolutionary tract on vision was Ibn al-Haytham's Optics , who pioneered central tenets of the modern scientific method and unified three disparate schools of thought on vision into one revolutionary theory of vision, which is reflected in Suso’s texts. Images emanate out of their originals and physically touch the eye. Suso believed that both the external eye and the internal mind's eye were malleable, taking the shape of the image they perceived. This influenced his concept of human identity, because he felt that the entire human body was spiritually malleable, and could be iii literally reshaped by religious discipline. For Suso, when one views depictions of Christ and imitates Christ's Passion, the internal mental image of Christ can reshape their body and soul to be a mirror image of the suffering Jesus. This builds on the negative theological tradition— Christ, as imago Dei , is the medium by which one can “see” the infinite apophatic divine, which itself cannot be captured by any image or name. As the medium, Christ is in unmediated contact with the original divine from which he springs forth. Suso intends for his readers to become image of Christ, literally, and so he presents his works as an exemplar, a “true image” of how to do so, interweaving narrative, theological, and visual media to push the readers to grasp something unrepresentable. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION......................................................................................................................... 1 ECKHART 'S SERMON 69 AS A MICROCOSM OF SUSO 'S VISUAL ALLEGORICAL FRAMEWORK ....... 7 METHODOLOGICAL CONCERNS .................................................................................................. 12 CHAPTER SUMMARIES ............................................................................................................... 21 CHAPTER 1—SCHEIN UND SEIN : A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF VISUALITY AND ONTOLOGY FROM PSEUDO-DIONYSIUS TO MEISTER ECKHART ......................... 27 PSEUDO -DIONYSIUS THE AREOPAGITE 'S MYSTICAL THEOLOGY AND HIS EARLY MEDIEVAL INTERPRETERS ........................................................................................................................... 29 NON -CHRISTIAN INFLUENCES —AVICENNA , ALHAZEN , AVERROES , AND MAIMONIDES ........... 41 MEISTER ECKHART 'S VISUALITY AND DIALECTICAL METHODOLOGY ....................................... 52 SUSO AND THE APOPHATICS ...................................................................................................... 65 CHAPTER 2—NEGATIVE IMAGES: SUSO'S GLICHNÚS BETWEEN NEOPLATONIC THEOLOGY AND VISUAL THEORY ................................................................................... 69 THEORIES OF LIGHT AND VISION ............................................................................................... 70 TRANSITION —ECKHART 'S INTERNAL IMAGE ............................................................................. 80 THE SPECIES OF MEDIEVAL VISUAL THEORY AND THEOLOGY COMPARED WITH SUSO 'S "GLICHNÚS " ............................................................................................................................... 82 IMAGES IN THE NEGATIVE .......................................................................................................... 96 CONCLUSION ........................................................................................................................... 105 CHAPTER 3—MIRRORING IMAGES: CHRIST’S PASSIO AND MARY’S COMPASSIO AS VISUAL MODELS FOR SPIRITUAL SELF-IMAGE CONSTRUCTION IN THE EXEMPLAR ............................................................................................................................... 108 v A NOTE ON METHODOLOGY AND ISSUES OF IMAGE AGENCY .................................................. 113 VISUAL THEORY AND THE SUFFERING EYE .............................................................................. 117 THE SERVANT AS SEXUALIZED LIVING IMAGE ......................................................................... 120 BIERNOFF 'S MODEL OF THE INTERPENETRATIVE GAZE OF BRIDAL MYSTICISM ....................... 124 PASSION MEDITATION AND THE EMERGENT MARIAN THEOLOGY ........................................... 133 MEDIA DISJUNCTURE AND IMAGE PEDAGOGY ......................................................................... 142 CONCLUSIONS —INDIVIDUAL APOPHATIC AESTHETICS ........................................................... 146 CHAPTER 4—SEXING SAPIENTIA : AUGUSTINIAN SEX AND GENDERED EPISTEMOLOGY IN SUSO’S LIFE OF THE SERVANT .................................................. 151 WHAT IS CLERICAL GENDER ?

  • Christian Saṃnyāsis and the Enduring Influence of Bede Griffiths in California
    3 (2016) Miscellaneous 3: AP-BI Christian Saṃnyāsis and the Enduring Influence of Bede Griffiths in California ENRICO BELTRAMINI Department of Religious Studies, Santa Clara University, California, USA © 2016 Ruhr-Universität Bochum Entangled Religions 3 (2016) ISSN 2363-6696 http://dx.doi.org/10.13154/er.v3.2016.AP-BI Enrico Beltramini Christian Saṃnyāsis and the Enduring Influence of Bede Griffiths in California ENRICO BELTRAMINI Santa Clara University, California, USA ABSTRACT This article thematizes a spiritual movement of ascetic hermits in California, which is based on the religious practice of Bede Griffiths. These hermits took their religious vows in India as Christian saṃnyāsis, in the hands of Father Bede, and then returned to California to ignite a contemplative renewal in the Christian dispirited tradition. Some tried to integrate such Indian tradition in the Benedictine order, while others traced new paths. KEY WORDS Bede; Griffiths; California; saṃnyāsa; Camaldoli; Christianity Preliminary Remarks— Sources and Definitions The present paper profited greatly from its main sources, Sr. Michaela Terrio and Br. Francis Ali, hermits at Sky Farm Hermitage, who generously shared with me their memories of Bede Griffiths as well as spiritual insights of their life of renunciation as Christian saṃnyāsis in California. Several of the personalities mentioned in this article are personally known to the author. I offer a definition of the main terms used here:saṃnyāsis ‘ ’ are the renouncers, the acosmic hermits in the tradition of the Gītā; ‘saṃnyāsa’ is the ancient Indian consecration to acosmism and also the fourth and last stage (aśhrama) in the growth of human life; ‘guru’ is a polysemic word in India; its theological meaning depends on the religious tradition.

  • Sveshnikov-Mental Imagery in Prayer
    Mental Imagery in Eastern Orthodox Private Devotion by Father Sergei Sveshnikov Just as there can be a properly trained voice, there can be a properly trained soul.[1] —Fr. Alexander Yelchaninov This presentation is based on the research that I undertook for a book titled Imagine That… : Mental Imagery in Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Private Devotion, published in paperback in February of 2009 with the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Kyrill of San Francisco. The work is an analytical comparison of Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox attitudes toward mental imagery. In this presentation, I wish to focus specifically on the Orthodox tradition of prayer. * * * Eastern Orthodoxy displays a great degree of uniformity in following a path of stillness of thought and silence of mind to achieve the prayer of heart in private devotion. Saint John Climacus writes in The Ladder (28:19) that “the beginning of prayer consists in chasing away invading thoughts…” (285) The mind is to be freed from all thoughts and images and focused on the words of prayer. Further in the chapter on prayer (28), St. John instructs not to accept any sensual images during prayer, lest the mind falls into insanity (42; 289); and not to gaze upon even necessary and spiritual things (59; 292). Unlike some forms of Roman Catholic spirituality, the Orthodox Tradition does not encourage the use of mental imagery. In fact, it almost appears to forbid sensory imagination during prayer altogether. In the words of one of the contemporary Orthodox elders, Abbot Nikon (Vorobyev) (1894-1963), “that, which sternly, decisively, with threats and imploring is forbidden by the Eastern Fathers—Western ascetics strive to acquire through all efforts and means” (424).

  • Prayer in the Life of Saint Francis by Thomas of Celano
    PRAYER IN THE LIFE OF SAINT FRANCIS BY THOMAS OF CELANO J.A. Wayne Hellmann Brother Thomas of Celano,1 upon the request of Pope Gregory IX,2 shortly after the 1228 canonization of Francis of Assisi, wrote The Life of St. Francis.3 In the opening lines, Thomas describes the begin- nings of Francis’s conversion. Thomas writes that Francis, secluded in a cave, prayed that “God guide his way.”4 In the closing lines at the end of The Life, Thomas accents the public prayer of the church in the person of pope. After the canonization Pope Gregory went to Francis’s tomb to pray: “by the lower steps he enters the sanc- tuary to offer prayers and sacrifices.”5 From beginning to end, through- out the text of The Life of St. Francis, the author, Brother Thomas, weaves Francis’s life together through an integrative theology of prayer. To shape his vision of Francis, Thomas, as a hagiographer, moves with multiple theological and literary currents, old and new. At the core of his vision, however, Thomas presents the life of a saint that developed from beginning to end in prayer. To do this, he employs 1 Brother Thomas of Celano was born into the noble family of the Conti dei Marsi sometime between the years of 1185–1190. Celano, the place of his birth, is a small city in the Abruzzi region southeast of Aquila. Thomas may have included himself a reference in number 56 of his text that “some literary men and nobles gladly joined” Francis after his return from Spain in 1215.

  • A Christian Understanding of Property: Spiritual Themes Underlying Western Property
    A paper presented at the Pacific Rim Real Estate Conference, Melbourne, January 2005 A Christian Understanding of Property: Spiritual themes underlying Western property Garrick Small, PhD University of Technology, Sydney [email protected] Abstract: Interest in customary title has raised awareness of the cultural dependence of property and its relationship to spirituality. Western culture has a historical connection with Christian spirituality, yet its property institution is seldom related to it. Property is found within Christian thought from the very beginning of the Old Testament and shares several important commonalities with customary peoples. The notion of property is evident in the gospels along with repeated comments on the correct application of riches. Early Christianity can be viewed as a development of the Old Testament property institution consistent with other aspects of Christian moral thought. Changes in the institution of property through the Christian era can be seen to parallel changes in Christian thought eventually leading to present day property. Overall, property can be linked to the spiritual roots of Western culture in a manner that has the capacity to inform the development of dialogue with customary peoples in their endeavours to assert the validity of their property conventions. Keywords: property theory, customary title, moral theology, social economics, property and culture Introduction The current institution of property was initiated in the sixteenth century as the former conditional notion of private property was replaced by absolute property (Anderson 1979). That century also saw radical changes in other human institutions. Modernity began with Machiavelli’s (d.1527) option to replace classical realism with empiricism in political science1 (Machiavelli and Mansfield 1985).
