La rilevanza conferita alla santità nella società contemporanea è l’esito di una lunga storia. Il culto dei santi fin dai primi secoli del cristianesimo ha rivestito un ruolo centrale dal punto di vista non solo religioso, ma anche sociale, politico e culturale. Se nel periodo delle origini si trattò di un fenomeno esteso all’intera area del Mediterraneo, a partire dal medioevo, in particolare per il ruolo svolto dalla Chiesa romana nel riconoscimento ufficiale della santità, il culto dei santi ha acquisito in Occidente caratteristiche sempre più specifiche, destinate ad accentuarsi nel mondo cattolico dopo la Riforma protestante e il Concilio di Trento, coinvolgendo il continente americano e le altre terre di missione, e in maniera crescente in età contemporanea, in particolare durante il pontificato di Giovanni Paolo II. Affidandosi a sei dei maggiori specialisti del settore, il volume propone una trattazione sistematica della santità e del culto dei santi, considerati nella loro interazione, mettendo a fuoco i prodotti culturali – letterari e artistici – che essi hanno ispirato, e che nello stesso tempo li hanno propagandati e perpetuati.

A People's Church brings together a distinguished international group of historians to provide a sweeping introduction to Christian religious life and institutions in medieval Italy. Each essay treats a single theme as broadly as possible, highlighting both the unique aspects of medieval Christianity on the Italian peninsula and the beliefs and practices it shared with other Christian societies. Because of its long tradition of communal self-governance, Christianity in medieval Italy, perhaps more than anywhere else, was truly a "people's church." At the same time, its exceptional urban wealth and literacy rates, along with its rich and varied intellectual and artistic culture, led to diverse forms of religious devotion and institutions. Contributors: Maria Pia Alberzoni on heresy; Frances Andrews on urban religion; Cécile Caby on monasticism; Giovanna Casagrande on mendicants; George Dameron on Florence; Antonella Degl'Innocenti on saints; Marina Gazzini on lay confraternities; Maureen C. Miller on bishops; Agostino Paravicini Bagliani and Pietro Silanos on the papacy and Italian politics; Antonio Rigon on clerical confraternities; Neslihan Şenocak on the pievi and care of souls; Giovanni Vitolo on Naples.

Roni Weinstein’s sociological reading of the kabbalistic ideas of the early modern period suggests that they gained acceptance because they met the needs of contemporary Jewish society. Although these ideas were presented as continuing a tradition, their goal was reformation: few aspects of Jewish life were not changed in consequence. This broadly based and innovative study challenges accepted ideas on the origins of Jewish modernity, and also shows how Counter-Reformation Catholicism affected these developments.

Dalla chiesa della Madonna del Parto a Sutri alla Sainte-Chapelle di Parigi, dal santuario di Santiago di Compostela a quello francescano della Verna: in tutta Europa, dalla tarda antichità al Rinascimento, sono sorti migliaia di santuari. Luoghi di secolare pellegrinaggio e devozione popolare. André Vauchez, uno dei più autorevoli maestri della storia medievale, ci accompagna alla scoperta del loro significato. I santuari hanno cominciato a diffondersi a partire dal IV secolo grazie al successo in Occidente del culto dei santi. Grande, infatti, era l'afflusso di pellegrini desiderosi di ottenere guarigioni, di venerare reliquie e immagini sacre legate soprattutto alle apparizioni della Madonna e dell'arcangelo Michele. Questo rappresentava un paradosso per la religione cristiana, dal momento che il suo fondatore aveva rifiutato l'idea che esistessero dei luoghi privilegiati per rivolgersi a Dio. Ma le iniziative dei vescovi e la pressione dei fedeli smussarono presto questo riserbo. André Vauchez ricostruisce la storia della formazione di questi santuari e la loro crescita all'interno del mondo cristiano occidentale fra il IV e il XVI secolo. I più rinomati furono quelli di Gerusalemme – a cominciare dal Santo Sepolcro –, San Michele Arcangelo sul Gargano e in Normandia, San Martino di Tours e Rocamadour in Francia, Santiago di Compostela in Spagna e, negli ultimi secoli del Medioevo, San Francesco ad Assisi e della Madonna di Loreto in Italia. Insieme ad altri più modesti e meno noti, questi santuari formarono una rete densa di luoghi sacri che popolò l'Europa con forme nuove di sacralità. Un'ampia iconografia completa una ricerca così vasta e originale.

This volume of twelve interdisciplinary essays addresses the multifaceted nature of female religious identity in early modern Europe. By dismantling the boundaries between the academic disciplines of history, art history, musicology and literary studies it offers new cross-cultural readings essential to a more comprehensive understanding of the complexity of female spirituality in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Utilising a wide range of archival material, encompassing art, architecture, writings and music commissioned or produced by nuns, the volume's main emphasis is on the limitations and potentials created by the boundaries of the convent. Each chapter explores how the personal and national circumstances in which the women lived affected the formation of their spirituality and the assertion of their social and political authority. Consisting of four sections each dealing with different parts of Europe and discussing issues of spiritual and social identity such as 'Femininity and Sanctity', 'Convent Theatre and Music-Making', 'Spiritual Directorship' and 'Community and Conflict', this compelling collection offers a significant addition to a thriving new field of study.

Religious experience in the European Middle Ages represented an intersection of a range of aspects of existence, including everyday life, relations of power, and urban development, among others. As such, religion offered a reflection of many facets of life in this period. This book brings together scholars from different parts of the world who use a variety of different examples from the medieval era to show this specific path through which to reach a renewed perspective for understanding the European Middle Ages.

Miracles give hope to the hopeless and exemplify the intersection of the divine and the mundane. They have shaped world history and continue to influence us through their presence in films, television, novels, and popular culture. This encyclopedia provides a unique resource on the philosophical, historical, religious, and cross-cultural conceptions of miracles that cut across denominational lines. Multidisciplinary in approach, this informative yet entertaining encyclopedia covers major aspects of miraculous phenomena through more than 150 alphabetically arranged entries that document how humanity's belief in religious miracles over multiple places, periods, and faiths have affected society—even changed the course of history. Written for high school students and general readers, the coverage enables readers to learn about different civilizations and cultures, the controversies surrounding different beliefs, and the often uncomfortable engagement of religion with science. This single-volume book provides a one-stop ready-reference that addresses a broad variety of subject matter on miraculous phenomena and guides further investigations into the subject. Helpful illustrations and lucid explanations of the ancillary concepts associated with miraculous phenomena make learning about this topic more engaging. Readers will be able to link the doctrinal concepts, such as "grace" or "prayer," with the descriptions of miraculous events, especially those associated with saints or holy objects. The examination of the controversial aspects of different belief systems along with the book's balanced coverage of the interpretation of miracles will encourage students to weigh different explanations, thus fostering the development of their critical thinking skills.

The early modern period is a particularly relevant and fascinating chapter in the history of pain. This volume investigates early modern constructions of physical pain from a variety of disciplines, including religious, legal and medical history, literary criticism, philosophy, and art history. The contributors examine how early modern culture interpreted physical pain, as it presented itself for instance during illness, but also analyse the ways in which early moderns employed the idea of physical suffering as a powerful rhetorical tool in debates over other issues, such as the nature of ritual, notions of masculinity, selfhood and community, definitions of religious experience, and the nature of political power. Contributors include: Emese Bálint, Maria Berbara, Joseph Campana, Andreas Dehmer, Jan Frans van Dijkhuizen, Karl A.E. Enenkel, Lia van Gemert, Frans Willem Korsten, Mary Ann Lund, Jenny Mayhew, Stephen Pender, Michael Schoenfeldt, Kristine Steenbergh, Anne Tilkorn, Jetze Touber, Anita Traninger, and Patrick Vandermeersch.

Discussing medieval and early modern 'disembodied heads' this collection questions the why and how of the primacy of the head in the bodily hierarchy during the premodern period. On the basis of beliefs, mythologies and traditions concerning the head, they come to an ‘cultural anatomy’ of the head.
