Abstract:

During the Late Middle Ages a unique type of ‘mixed media’ recycled and remnant art arose in houses of religious women in the Low Countries: enclosed gardens. They date from the time of Emperor Charles V and are unique examples of ‘anonymous’ female art, devotion and spirituality. A hortus conclusus (or enclosed garden) represents an ideal, paradisiacal world. Enclosed Gardens are retables, sometimes with painted side panels, the central section filled not only with narrative sculpture, but also with all sorts of trinkets and hand-worked textiles.Adornments include relics, wax medallions, gems

Abstract:

The Pictorial Art of El Greco: Transmaterialities, Temporalities, and Media investigates El Greco’s pictorial art as foundational to the globalising trends manifested in the visual culture of early modernity. It also exposes the figurative, semantic, and allegorical senses that El Greco created to challenge an Italian Renaissance-centered discourse. Even though he was guided by the unprecedented burgeoning of devotional art in the post-Tridentine decades and by the expressive possibilities of earlier religious artifacts, especially those inherited from the apostolic past, the author demonstrat

Abstract:

This book is the first to focus on material visualities that shape, convey and expand paths of devotional participation (bhakti) from across India, in the past and present. The book argues that a central focus on visuality is both at the heart of bhakti expression, and as an academic focus, it changes our understanding of bhakti’s development and impact through analysis of material religion. As theorized in recent scholarship,`visuality’ is an imaged materiality that shapes reality and does not just reflect it. Bhakti visualities, in their overlapping diversity and use of accessible technologi

Abstract:

Voluntary death as a religious ascetic ritual has had a long and complex history in India. At discrete moments of India’s religious history, suicide was condemned, while at other historical moments, self-chosen death was elevated to an ideal of devotion. Seeking death was considered both an ascetic exercise and a heroic enterprise. In the past, heroes were those individuals who vowed to live exceptional lives dedicated to sacred exploration and conquest. Those heroes who sought death hoped to conquer the fear of uncertainty and the dichotomy of life and death. They wished to find the release o

Abstract:

Plant life has figured prominently in Indian culture. Archaeobotanical findings and Vedic texts confirm that plants have been central not only as a commodity (sources of food; materia medica; sacrificial matter; etc.) but also as powerful and enduring symbols. Roots of Wisdom, Branches of Devotion: Plant Life in South Asian Traditions explores how herbs, trees, shrubs, flowers and vegetables have been studied, classified, represented and discussed in a variety of Indian traditions such as Vedism, Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, indigenous cultures and Islam.

Abstract:

This essay explores the nature of religious language and uses of conceptual metaphors in an important branch of medieval Bengali Hinduism known as the Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā traditions which practiced a form of esoteric tantric yoga involving a series of external rituals, internalized visualizations, a special mystical language, and a rejection of the norms of Hindu caste and ritual purity. Developing after the time of the great Bengali devotional leader Kṛṣṇa Caitanya, they also incorporated emotional and devotional practices known as bhakti (“devotion”) which enriched their religious practices, l

Abstract:

Guillaume de Saluste Du Bartas (1544–90) is an essential figure for understanding the diversity and strength of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English poetry. His works were read, translated, and imitated more widely than any other non-biblical literary work in early modern England and Scotland, leading Scottish and French literary culture to shape the development of English epic poetry and inspire new kinds of popular devotional verse. Thanks to James VI and I’s support, Du Bartas’ scriptural poems became emblems of international Protestantism that were cherished even more highly in Engla

The chapter first differentiates between secular education and religious education in the United States, then considers how issues of theology, social culture, expression of religious freedom, civil rights, personal identity, technology, and demographic shifts shape religious identity formation. The chapter concludes with a discussion of how rituals within religious traditions connect the aspirations of a tradition w

Abstract:

This book investigates the history of a popular genre of Sanskrit devotional poetry in Kashmir: the stotra, or hymn of praise. Such hymns demonstrate and frequently reflect upon the close link between literary and religious expression in South Asia—the relationship between poetry and prayer. This study presents an overview and reassessment of the stotra genre, including its definition and history, focusing on literary hymns in Kashmir from the eighth to the twentieth century. Investigating these hymns as theological texts, it argues for their pedagogical potential and their particular appeal f

Based upon deep patristic learning and antiquarian scholarship, such interest found influential expression through doctrine, liturgy, devotional observance, and in attitudes to Church discipl

Abstract:

Although the Church of England was formally re-established by the Act of Uniformity (1662), the narrow terms of the religious ‘settlement’ dismayed many and prompted a very significant schism in English Protestantism. The Revolution of 1688/9 prompted a further parting of the ways, with many refusing to recognize William and Mary as sovereigns and thus becoming ‘non-jurors’. Nevertheless, if the later Stuart Church was often buffeted by external threats, and locked in internecine polemical warfare, it was also boosted by phases of renewal that found expression in both physical fabric and devot

Abstract:

The conventional narrative of de Paul’s activities in the 1610s concentrates on two famous episodes that took place in 1617—those of the confession, sermon, and mission of Folleville, and the foundation of his first confraternity of charity in Châtillon-lès-Dombes. Contrarily, Chapter 3 takes a more revealing panoramic view of these years, to demonstrate that de Paul’s pastoral skills and experience grew intensively as he enjoyed different perspectives as a parish priest and a private clerical employee on large rural estates. He isolated deficiencies in the service that the clergy provided to

Textual explorations of sacred love, closely interlinked with writings about secular love, are drawn from the full chronological span of the volume, ranging from Richard Rolle in 1506 to Damaris Masham in 1696. The works discussed are from a wide variety of genres, including lyric poetry, devotional prose, prayers, sermons, and autobiographical writings. The subject of love is seen t

What role do premodern religious traditions play in the formation of modern secular identities?

What are some of the multiple sites of forgetting and unforgetting that determine how we receive iconic historical figures in the present? Unforgetting Chaitanya addresses these questions by examining late nineteenth-century transformations of Vaishnavism in Bengal—a religious tradition emanating from the figure of Krishna Chaitanya (1486–1533), and articulated in this regio

Abstract:

This volume presents the collected essays of the historian and theologian Thomas Lentes (1962-2000). As one of the most innovative medievalists and theologians, he dealt with the physical and pictorial forms of expression of piety and liturgy of the Middle Ages and the early modern period in an interdisciplinary way. In doing so, he repeatedly sounded out the part played by the material and inner image in devotion or mass and, through his precise analyses of scriptural and pictorial sources, brought about a reassessment of the piety of the late Middle Ages.

Special attention is paid to the depiction of biblical women and the representation of Jews and Judaism in liturgical readings. Subsequent chapters examine the Bible’s presence in r

Abstract:

The first chapter focuses on the wider spiritual context from which penitential movements developed. The rich and vibrant spiritual climate of the early thirteenth century saw the emergence of a number of new expressions of religious life. These new forms of devotion were predominantly characterized by a desire to live according to the gospel while remaining in the world. Throughout Europe, groups of laywomen ran alms houses, cared for lepers and practised other forms of active charity. From the middle of the thirteenth century onwards, the fact that these women did not fit traditional categor
