Doubt, Faith, and the World to Come in Peter of Cornwall's Book Of Doubt, Faith, and the World to Come in Peter of Cornwall’s Book of Revelations By Michael D. Barbezat A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Center for Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Michael D. Barbezat 2013 Doubt, Faith, and the World to Come in Peter of Cornwall’s Book of Revelations Michael D. Barbezat Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This dissertation explores the relationship between doubt and faith as it appears in a large collection of visions and revelations from the turn of the thirteenth century, entitled the Liber revelationum, or the Book of Revelations. The Liber revelationum was compiled in London by an Augustinian canon named Peter of Cornwall around the year 1200. He collected scores of visions and revelations from books, friends, and acquaintances in order to prove that angels, God, and the human soul existed. My work focuses on the first book of the collection dealing with proofs for life after death. This study explores the context of this manuscript both in Peter’s works and also in the larger twelfth-century literary genres in which it participates. I interrogate the various means by which the spiritual world is revealed to the living. I question what exactly about the spiritual world is revealed, and what specific doubts these revelations address. Finally, I explore the culture of desire for contact with the spiritual world at the turn of the thirteenth century that is glimpsed through Peter’s collection and its immediate sources. Peter’s work results from what he took as a central epistemological problem facing human beings: as a result of sin, humanity has lost the ability to directly know God. As a result, ii it is natural to doubt His existence as He cannot be known through experience. Peter’s revelations address this doubt. I analyze the ways in which visions and revelations in their response to these doubts run up against recurrent restrictions and frustrations due to the very epistemological limitations that inspire them. These very shortcomings played a role in the process of faith to the religious culture around visions and the desire for them around the year 1200. This faith, which also required a similar separation from the divinity, exists in the same space as visionary and revelatory experience, defined by humanity’s limited ways of knowing and desire for a seemingly infinitely deferred transcendence. I argue that experiential medieval religion and belief, as glimpsed in Peter’s collection, requires and is enriched by doubt as well as challenged by it. iii Acknowledgements In the course of the research and writing of this dissertation, I have accumulated a number of debts. I would first like to thank my dissertation supervisor, Professor Joseph Goering, and my dissertation committee: professors Suzanne Akbari, Jill Ross, and Robert Sweetman, for their advice, guidance and patience. Professor Richard Sharpe graciously shared his work on the Liber revelationum before its publication, and I extend my sincere gratitude to him for this kindness. Professor Barbara Newman served as an insightful reviewer, providing important suggestions, corrections, and guidance. Professor Alexandra Gillespie served on the defence committee and offered a number of insights and suggestions. Professor James Carley provided indispensable encouragement and support. At the University of California, Davis, I benefitted greatly from my time spent with Joan Cadden and Sally McKee, under whose supervision the idea of this study took its initial shape. Many of my peers at the University of Toronto have contributed enormously to my work: Kaitlin Heller, Daniel Price, Caroline Smith, Rachel Stapleton, and Anna Wilson have all looked over parts of individual chapters, provided bibliographical suggestions, and helped me to develop the ideas presented in the following pages. Mary E. Barbezat and Mich P. Barbezat never wavered in their support. Victor Millete read through the manuscript and helped to catch numerous errors. Those that remain are my own. In the early phase of writing, the suggestions I received at the 2011 MARCO Manuscript Workshop at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville helped me to identify issues in the collection that spoke to wider interests, and I would like to thank the faculty and staff there for their invitation. iv Table of Contents Table of Contents Abstract ......................................................................................................................................................... ii Acknowledgements ...................................................................................................................................... iv Table of Contents .......................................................................................................................................... v List of Appendices ....................................................................................................................................... vii Introduction .................................................................................................................................................. 1 Chapter 1 – The Contexts for the Liber revelationum: Author, Genres, and Contents .............................. 15 Introduction ............................................................................................................................................ 15 Section 1: Peter of Cornwall’s Life and Works ........................................................................................ 16 Section 2: Writing and Collecting Revelations Around the Year 1200 .................................................... 28 Visions and Revelations ...................................................................................................................... 30 The Developing Other World .............................................................................................................. 34 Miracles as a Category ........................................................................................................................ 36 Collections of Miracles and Visions ..................................................................................................... 38 Section 3: The Liber revelationum .......................................................................................................... 42 Section 4: The Liber revelationum, Book I .............................................................................................. 47 Conclusion ............................................................................................................................................... 57 Chapter 2 – The Delivery of Revelation or Crossing Between Worlds in the Liber revelationum .............. 60 Introduction ............................................................................................................................................ 60 Part 1: Peter’s Framing of Access to Revelation ..................................................................................... 62 Part 2: The Language of the Experiences: Sensory Descriptions ............................................................ 70 Part 3: Access to Revelation in the Stories Themselves.......................................................................... 72 Access to Revelation (1): Gift of Sight or Special Senses .................................................................... 74 Access to Revelation (2): Encounters with Death ............................................................................... 77 Access to Revelation (3): Revelations Received While Asleep ............................................................ 90 Conclusion Part 3 ................................................................................................................................ 95 Part 4: Questionable Access -

Traill WALTER OF CHATILLON'S PROSIMETRON IN DOMINO CONFIDO (W.3): WHERE AND WHEN WAS IT PERFORMED?* INTRODUCTION Waiter of Chätillon was one of the most gifted Latin poets of the Middle Ages. His epic poem Alexandreis is his best-known work but he is almost equally well known as the author of some of the best satirical verse in Medieval Latin. Despite his fame, however, little is known about his life. We have to depend for the most part on a number of brief biographical sketches or vitae, whose unreliability is signaled by the mutually contradictory information they provide'. A brief synopsis based on that ev- idence follows. Waiter was born in or near Lilie and received an excellent education at Orleans (or Reims) and Paris. He seems to have taught at Laon and later at Chäril- lon-sur-Marne, not far from Reims. He went to Bologna to study law and in 1176, when William of the White Hands, brother-in-law of Louis VII, was appointed arch- bishop of Reims, WaIter was drawn into his literary circle and it was to William that Waiter dedicated his Alexandreis. He was made a canon of Amiens (or Beauvais or Or- leans) and he mayor may not have died of leprosy.

  • The Cathedral Priory of St. Andrew, Rochester
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE CATHEDRAL PRIORY OF ST. ANDREW, ROCHESTER By ANNE M. OAKLEY, M.A. THE church of St. Andrew the Apostle, Rochester, was founded by Ethelbert, King of Kent, as a college for a small number of secular canons under Justus, Bishop of Rochester, in A.D. 604. Very httle is known about the history of this house. It never seems to have had much influence outside its own walls, and though it possessed considerable landed estates, seems to have been relatively small and poor. It also suffered at the hands of the Danes. Bishops Justus, Romanus, Pauhnus and Ithamar were all remarkable men, but after Bishop Putta's transla- tion to Hereford in 676, very Httle is heard of Rochester. Their bishop, Siweard, is not mentioned as having been at Hastings with King Harold as were many of the Saxon bishops and abbots, and the house put up no opposition to William I when he seized their lands and gave them to his half brother Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, whom he had created Earl of Kent. The chroniclers say that the house was destitute, and that, when Siweard died in 1075, it was barely able to support the five canons on the estabHshment.1 Four years after his conquest of England, Wilham I invited his friend Lanfranc, Prior of Caen and a former monk of Bee in Normandy, to be bis archbishop at Canterbury. Lanfranc's task was specific: to reorganize EngHsh monasticism on the pattern of Bee; to develop a strict cloistered monasticism, but one of a kind that was not entirely cut off by physical barriers from the Hfe of the rest of the church.

  • This Is Canterbury Cathedral. in Today's Lesson You Are Going To
    This is Canterbury Cathedral. In today’s lesson you are going to learn about something very SHOCKING that took place here in the Medieval Period. On 29 December 1170, a very important man called Thomas Becket was murdered in this very holy place. A monk called Edward Grim watched the murder. “One of the knights raised his sword and wounded Becket in the head. That same blow almost cut off my arm as I held the archbishop. Then Becket received a second blow, but still he managed to stand. At the third blow he fell. He said, “For the name of Jesus and the protection of his Church I am prepared to die”. Then the third knight struck Becket so hard that his sword broke. The top was cut off the archbishop’s head so that blood stained the cathedral floor. Another man put his foot on Becket’s neck and scattered his brains all over the floor. He called out: “Let us away, knights. He will trouble us no more”. I am Henry II. I am Thomas I had an Becket. argument Unfortunately with my for me, King friend, Henry II’s Thomas knights Becket, who thought that was the the King Archbishop wanted to get of rid of me.

  • THE CONSTRUCTION of CHAUCER's PARDONER Alastair Minnis the Corpus of Latin Literature on Indulgences Is Vast
    THE CONSTRUCTION OF CHAUCER’S PARDONER Alastair Minnis The corpus of Latin literature on indulgences is vast; much of it has been under-studied, and several of the most significant discussions remain unedited. Albert “the Great” of Cologne, Bonaventure of Bagnorea, Durandus of St. Pourçain, Francesco della Rossa Bartholi, Francis of Meyronnes, John Baconthorpe, John of Dambach, John of Salisbury, Peter Abelard, Peter of Blois, Peter the Chanter, Peter of Poitiers, Peter John Olivi, Peter of la Palud, Peter of Tarantasia, Richard Godmersham, Robert Courson, Senatus of Worcester, Simon of Cremona, Stephen Langton, Thomas Aquinas, Thomas of Chobham, William Lyndwood, William of Auvergne, William of Auxerre....1 Those are just a few among the large number of schol- ars who had important things to say about the theology which under- pinned indulgences, many of the later accounts appearing in commentaries on the fourth book of Peter Lombard’s Sentences (a major locus classicus for relevant discussion). Interest in the topic was international, even as the practice of dispensing indulgences was inter- national. When we seek material on pardons and pardoners in the several national vernaculars, however, an uneven pattern emerges, and some of the pickings are slim. In the Chanson de Roland Bishop Turpin offers Charlemagne’s troops absolution before they battle against the Saracens, so that if they die they will be “holy martyrs,” seated in “highest paradise” (1130–5).2 This statement is illustrative of early thought about how indulgences can ensure safe passage to heaven through martyrdom, and is of interest in relation to the developing theory and practice of crusad- ing indulgences.

This has led on the one hand to functional approaches that treat the authors as a class subject to sociological analysis, and on the other to approaches that emphasize the fictionality of Minnesang as a form of role- playing in which genre conventions supersede individual contributions. I argue that the men who composed and performed these songs at court were, in fact, using them to create and curate individual profiles for themselves.

  • The Dissemination of Visions of the Otherworld in Thirteenth-Century
    The dissemination of visions of the otherworld in England and northern France c.1150-c.1321 Christopher Thomas John Wilson Submitted by Christopher Thomas John Wilson to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in April 2012. This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approvedfor the award of a degree by this or any other University. Abstract This thesis examines the dissemination of visions of the otherworld in the long thirteenth century (c.1150-1321) by analysing the work of one enthusiast for such visions, Helinand of Froidmont, and studying the later transmission of three, contrasting accounts: the vision of the monk of Eynsham (c.1196), the vision of St. Fursa (c.656) and the vision of Gunthelm (s.xiiex). It relies on a close reading and comparison of different versions of these visions as they appear in exempla collections, religious miscellanies, history chronicles and sermons. In considering the process of redaction, it corrects two imbalances in the recent scholarship: a focus on searching for, then discussing ‘authorial’ versions of the narratives and a tendency among students of literature to treat visions of the otherworld as an independent sub-genre, prefiguring Dante’s later masterpiece. Instead, by looking at the different responses of a number of authors and compilers to visions of the otherworld, this thesis shows how they interacted with other elements of religious culture.

  • INDULGENCES and SOLIDARITY in LATE MEDIEVAL ENGLAND By
    INDULGENCES AND SOLIDARITY IN LATE MEDIEVAL ENGLAND by ANN F. BRODEUR A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto Copyright by Ann F. Brodeur, 2015 Indulgences and Solidarity in Late Medieval England Ann F. Brodeur Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2015 Abstract Medieval indulgences have long had a troubled public image, grounded in centuries of confessional discord. Were they simply a crass form of medieval religious commercialism and a spiritual fraud, as the reforming archbishop Cranmer charged in his 1543 appeal to raise funds for Henry VIII’s contributions against the Turks? Or were they perceived and used in a different manner? In his influential work, Indulgences in Late Medieval England: Passports to Paradise, R.N. Swanson offered fresh arguments for the centrality and popularity of indulgences in the devotional landscape of medieval England, and thoroughly documented the doctrinal development and administrative apparatus that grew up around indulgences. How they functioned within the English social and devotional landscape, particularly at the local level, is the focus of this thesis. Through an investigation of published episcopal registers, my thesis explores the social impact of indulgences at the diocesan level by examining the context, aims, and social make up of the beneficiaries, as well as the spiritual and social expectations of the granting bishops. It first explores personal indulgences given to benefit individuals, specifically the deserving poor and ransomed captives, before examining indulgences ii given to local institutions, particularly hospitals and parishes. Throughout this study, I show that both lay people and bishops used indulgences to build, reinforce or maintain solidarity and social bonds between diverse groups.
