Handling Sin: Confession in the Middle Ages
ISBN: 9780952973416 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Penance, confession and their texts (penitential and confessors' manuals) are important topics for an understanding of the middle ages, in relation to a wide range of issues, from medieval social thought to Chaucer's background. These essays treat a variety of different aspects of the topic: subjects include the frequency and character of early medieval penance; the summae and manuals for confessors, and the ways in which these texts (written by males for males) constructed women as sexual in nature; William of Auvergne's remarkable writing on penance; and the relevance of confessors' manuals...

The Waldenses, 1170-1530: Between a Religious Order and a Church
ISBN: 9780860787983 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Waldenses, like the Franciscans, emerged from the apostolic movements within the Latin Church of the decades around 1200, but unlike the Franciscans they were driven underground. Not a full counter-Church, like the Cathar heretics, they formed a clandestine religious order, preaching to and hearing the confessions of their secret followers, and surviving until the Reformation. This volume begins by surveying modern historiography. Then, using both inquisition records from the Baltic to the Alps and the Waldenses' own books, the author deals with the asceticism of the Waldensian order, its...

ISBN: 9780521575768 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Did growing literacy in the later medieval period foster popular heresy, or did heresy provide a crucial stimulus to the spread of literacy? This collective volume, by established scholars from Britain, continental Europe and the United States, considers the importance of the written word in pre-Lutheran heresies, and explores the extent to which heretics' familiarity with books paralleled or exceeded that of their orthodox contemporaries.

Texts and the Repression of Medieval Heresy
ISBN: 9781903153109 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. 'Did you see a heretic? When? Where? Who else was there?'. The inquisitor is questioning, and a suspect is replying; a notary is translating from the vernacular into Latin, and writing it down, abbreviating and omitting at will; later there is the reading out of a sentence in public and then, in a few cases, burning. At every stage there is a text: a list of questions, for example, or an inquisitor's how-to-do it manual. The substance and intention of these texts forms the subject of this book. The introduction brings them all together in an historiographical survey of the role of texts in...

Religion and Medicine in the Middle Ages
ISBN: 9781903153079 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The sheer extent of crossover - medics as religious men, religious men as medics, medical language at the service of preaching and moral-theological language deployed in medical writings - is the driving force behind these studies. The book reflects the extraordinary advances which 'pure' history of medicine has made in the last twenty years: there is medicine at the levels of midwife and village practitioner, the sweep of the learned Greek and Latin tradition of over a millennium; there is control of midwifery by the priest, therapy through liturgy, medicine as an expression of religious...
