Secondo una celebre definizione di Peter Brown il santo, a partire dalla fine del IV secolo, cominciò a porsi come un “compagno invisibile” e ideale, un protettore con cui si stabiliva una relazione di “clientela” e che diventava «quasi un’estensione verso l’alto dell’individuo stesso». Così era accaduto per il rapporto tra Paolino di Nola e San Felice, come nel caso di Sulpicio Severo e Martino di Tours. Tuttavia, la definizione di Brown, ormai diventata classica, si può “rovesciare” per dire che caratteristica dei santi è anche quella del loro essere e farsi visibili, dei “compagni” che custodiscono, proteggono e guariscono per mezzo di elementi concreti e tangibili, quali le immagini e le reliquie, che accompagnano la vita dei fedeli. Il santo, presente in una qualità non soltanto spiritualizzata e restituito non solo sotto specie di “visione”, si vede e si tocca, si bacia, in taluni casi persino si “assume” per via corporea. E per il tramite degli oggetti sacri che lo “rappresentano” si produce una sorta di “doppio movimento”: un andare al santo (verso i luoghi del suo culto, verso le sue reliquie, verso la sua tomba) e un portare con sé il santo, di cui le immagini benedette, nelle loro svariate forme, costituiscono senz’altro l’elemento “fisico” più evidente. Da questo punto di vista, presenza e potenza sono i termini che meglio designano il ruolo che i santi ricoprono quando, “incarnandosi” nei loro succedanei iconici e materiali, si rendono vicini ai fedeli. Tale presenza dei santi post-mortem è lungamente preparata dalle loro gesta in vita, molto spesso un autentico prologo in terra di quel che accadrà una volta in cielo. L’eroismo delle loro virtù, il rigore delle penitenze, la strenua e convinta lotta con le pulsioni corporee, il duro confronto con la natura, tutto ciò che si potrebbe racchiudere in quella particolare disposizione rubricata sotto il nome di ascesi, anticipa e fa da propedeutica a una “esistenza” dopo la morte la cui potentia certamente trae beneficio e si collega a quanto il santo ha sperimentato in vita: santi che guariscono mediante l’acqua anche perché essa già era stata luogo di esemplari esercizi ascetici; santi che hanno temprato il loro carattere e forgiato la loro virtus nella quotidiana rinuncia al cibo; santi il cui isolamento, nella selvatica asperità degli elementi naturali poco coinvolti nei processi di “umanizzazione”, è il contrassegno più visibile di una vocazione che attende soltanto il dies natalis della morte per realizzarsi nella sua compiutezza. Di questa multiforme realtà I compagni visibili, utilizzando gli strumenti dell’antropologia e della storia, presenta anche, più in dettaglio, alcuni casi, a loro modo esemplari, quali quelli di San Bruno di Colonia e di San Domenico in Soriano, certamente tra gli episodi notevoli della santità nell’Italia meridionale tra medioevo ed età moderna. Figure eminenti della religiosità occidentale che hanno dato vita a istituzioni plurisecolari e che sono state al centro di riti, si pensi alla guarigione dalla possessione diabolica attribuita a San Bruno, in cui “alto” e “basso”, “colto” e “popolare”, si sono intrecciati, collocando queste vicende “mediterranee” dentro una più ampia storia europea. E ci si trova dinanzi, alla fine, a una riflessione sul passato che per il suo tessersi intorno ai temi della fenomenologia dei culti religiosi, del sacro e della morte non cessa di proiettarsi sul nostro presente.

Ecstatic Confessions is Martin Buber's unique, personal gathering of the testimonies of mystics throughout the centuries expressing their encounters with the divine. It features the author's seminal introduction to mysticism, "Ecstasy and Confession," which probes the nature of what Buber terms the "most inward of all experiences. . . . God's highest gift." Buber sifted through texts from oriental, pagan, Gnostic, Eastern Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and Muslim sources down the centuries to cull those moving records that manage to convey some quality of an experience that is essentially beyond the power of words to capture. Ecstatic Confessions orchestrates these reports from the edge of human experience into a revealing look at the nature of the ecstatic experience itself and the tension arising from the mystic's compelling need to give witness to an event that can never truly be verbalized. Ecstatic Confessions illuminates the intellectual development of its author even as it probes the almost insurmountable barrier between language and authentic mystical experience, which is, in essence, beyond the grasp of rational constructs.

This is Volume IV of the selected works of Frances Yates. In the early 17th century, a new movement was proclaimed throughout Europe, announcing the universal reform of religion, science, art, and society. The main proponents of this movement were the esoteric Rosicrucians. Europe was a world in transition and Rosicrucianism was but the latest movement to capture the public imagination. Concerned with spiritual illumination and intellectual knowledge the movement continued to have widespread influence long after it was supposedly over, as can be traced in the works of Isaac Newton and Fraof modern science and medicine, The Rosicrucian Enlightenment has had a tremendous impact on our understanding of the western esoteric tradition.

The object of this work is to define Dante's attitude or, if need be, his successive attitudes towards philosophy. It is therefore a question of ascertaining the character, function and place which Dante assigned to this branch of learning among the activities of man. My purpose has not been to single out, classify and list Dante's numerous philosophical ideas, still less to look for their sources or to decide what doctrinal influences determined the evolution of his thought.

The Development Of Greek Biography written by Arnaldo Momigliano and has been published by Harvard University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1993 with Biography & Autobiography categories.
Arnaldo Momigliano traces the growth of ancient biography from the fifth century to the first century B.C. He asks new questions about the origins and development of Greek biography, and makes full use of new evidence uncovered in recent decades from papyri and other sources. By clarifying the social and intellectual implication of the fact that the Greeks kept biography and autobiography distinct from historiography, he contributes to an understanding of a basic dichotomy in the Western tradition of historical writing. The Development of Greek Biography is fully annotated, and includes a bibliography designed to serve as an introduction to the study of biography in general.
