Corpus Christi: The Eucharist in Late Medieval Culture
ISBN: 9780521438056 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book studies later medieval culture (c. 1150-1500) through its central symbol: the eucharist. From the twelfth century onward the eucharist was designed by the Church as the foremost sacrament. The claim that this ritual brought into presence Christ's own body, and offered it to believers, underpinned the sacramental system and the clerical meditation upon which it depended. The book explores the context in which the sacramental world was created and the cultural processes through which it was disseminated, interpreted and used. With attention to the variety of eucharistic meanings and...

Gentile Tales: The Narrative Assault on Late Medieval Jews
ISBN: 9780812218800 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Beginning in Paris in the year 1290, Jews were accused of abusing Christ by desecrating the eucharist--the manifestation of Christ's body in the communion service. Over the next two centuries this tale of desecration spread throughout Europe and led to violent anti-Jewish activity in areas from Catalonia to Bohemia, particularly in some German-speaking regions, where at times it produced regionwide massacres and "cleansings." Drawing on sources ranging from religious tales and poems to Jews' confessions made under torture, Miri Rubin explores the frightening power of one of the most...

Religious Conversion: History, Experience and Meaning
ISBN: 9781472421494 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Religious conversion - a shift in membership from one community of faith to another - can take diverse forms in radically different circumstances. As the essays in this volume demonstrate, conversion can be protracted or sudden, voluntary or coerced, small-scale or large. It may be the result of active missionary efforts, instrumental decisions, or intellectual or spiritual attraction to a different doctrine and practices. In order to investigate these multiple meanings, and how they may differ across time and space, this collection ranges far and wide across medieval and early modern Europe...
