Full textMonastic hagiography of 11th and 12th centuries frequently describes saints using effective word, able to act automatically. Nevertheless, it shows an evolution of saint word's conception : itinerant preachers, in particular, insist on the moral sense of the speech. The description of the last moments confirms these evolution. The collections of miracles, on the other hand, describe a magic use of the word acting without any moral reference. Blasphemy, at last, appears as an inverted prayer put by the monks in the mouth of milities looting their possessions. In conclusion, word in the 11th and 12th centuries is one of the chief elements which structure relations between man and the sacred

Full textThe congregation of the Lovers of the Holy Cross was founded in 1670 by Mgr. Pierre Lambert de la Motte. It is the first female religious congregation to be distinguished by its Eastern characteristics, both contemplative and apostolic, and created in Vietnam. During 335 years of existence, the Lovers of the Cross community, went through various trials and tribulations : persecutions, disasters, wars and changes of political regimes in particular. There are currently 24 congregations of the Lovers of the Cross nuns of Vietnamese origin of which one is in the United States. Three of them are in Thailand and two others in Laos. One can wonder how the Lovers of the Holy Cross can manage to abide simultaneously by the Canon Law provisions derived from the latin Church and to preserve and the typical features characterizing their Asian culture. Eager to combine her studies of canonical right with a thorough investigation of the legislative texts of her Congregation, the author, a Sister of the Lovers of the Cross, commits herself to this research work so that she can better understand the type of Religious Institute her Congregation belongs to and the most appropriate type of its executive authority. From this point of view, this work is divided into three parts : initialy the first part will present the exercice of authority or executive authority according to Vietnamese tradition. Then the second part will be devoted to a study on the government of the religious Institutes according to the provisions of the Canon Laws. And eventually the third part will approach the exercise of the authority within the Congregation of the Lovers of the Holy Cross. The wish is expressed that in the future, within the Universal Church, all the congregations of the Lovers of the Holy Cross can be reorganized in form of governmental structure recognized by the Church

Full textThe canonists of the middle ages have drawn from the roman law the elements which allowed to come to the conception of persona ficta the of persona representata. This thesis invites to wonder if the theory is not fed between those centers - roman law scholarly law - of a more recent past than the antiquity : the early middle ages which presents an experience not much studied until now. We have chosen the experience of the saint philibert community, from the beginning (677) to the year one thousand (989) in order to set some milestones in the history of the origins of the notion of legal entity. Vicissitudes of this congregation, connected with its peregrinations, strengthen the cohesion whose legal traduction is demonstrated through the diplomas, the bulls and private deeds which are addressed to it. This cohesion is originally built and stabilized thanks to the founder, through his relics and his rules. The second step consists in the constitution of the land patrimony, for the legal status of the monasteries is a matter for the study of ecclesiastical estate. The notion of assigning properties to a pious use which warrants the unity of the patrimony strengthens the legal mechanism of the monastic foundation

Full textThis research work began with the observation that the history of the congregation of the Marianite Sisters of Holy Cross had been undertaken, till now, only by a few members of the clergy. Applied to give all its importance to the founder's thought and to evoke the spiritual life of the community, these authors had considered the problems of its material life as minor and then had treated them only in short evocations. Therefore, a scope of researches was widely opened to the one who chose to place the human problems in the centre of his work. However, the first soundings taken in the private archives of the congregation made at once appear that numerous relational conflicts and material troubles staked out the history of the Marianite sisters. Understanding these strains and showing their incidence upon the evolution of the congregation gave a subject of research parting radically from the previous studies. The question supposed getting out of the enclosure and introducing the numerous human, materiel and clerical influences coming from the outside of the convent, that the nuns had to support. After the works of the members of the clergy describing a congregation in search of its moral and spiritual unity, this study tries to describe it facing the reality of the outer world and to see how far contemplation and piety fit with the hazards of the everyday life

Full textEdition, translation and commentary of the Horologion (Book of Hours) called " Georgian ", copied about 950, of ms. Sin. Iber. 34. It lacks the first 10 of its daily cursus of 24 Hours. The most important Hours are preserved. Copied by Iovane the priest, probably at the Great Lavra of St. Sabas, the document was modified some years later by a 2nd scribe, the Sabaite monk John Zosime. Some of the Hours carry the epithet "public": Vespers, Compline, Nocturns and Matins. Internal evidence (hymnography, prayers) permits to attach them to Jerusalem. The other Hours, which have no epithet, have a simple ordo, which begins with a fixed psalm and a cathisma of the Psalter. The fixed psalms attach these Hours, which I call "ascetic", to the ancient Egyptian Horologion of 24 Hours, which I identify with the "Rule of the Angel". The entire Psalter is accomplished daily. Acc. To my interpretation, the Horologion was composed at the cathedral of Jerusalem; the public Hours are those of the people, and the ascetic Hours those of the Spoudaioi monks of the cathedral. I date the Greek model of the Horologion to about 700. The Horologion was probably adopted and slightly adapted at St. Sabas

Full textBecause the construction of manastic reality springs from the very "apory" of the notion of exteriority and interiority of the world, it sends back-owing to its existence - through a tragic reflexivity to the key question of the knowing of reality. How does this social form come into being as a challenge to the corpus of knowledge ofreality through by and for the human body? in what way would the behaviour proning disposession of the self be paradigmatic of the religious as a whole ? in a attempt to answer those questions, the field of research is made up of three monasteries each of them presenting a particular character as to the tale of their origins wich intermingle with a different "monastic memory" whose aim is no other than the fact of providing a frame for the embodying of memory, within continuity, rupture, actualization of a past in relation with place time and divinity

Full textThe video camera, as a main tool of research, enabled to study carmelites daily life into a French Carmel. Aspects such as communal or solitary, materials or rituals, revealed the main features unique to the monacal life organisation. The prescriptions coming from the Rule and the Constitutions have a main influence on carmelites, visible into mental and behavioural habitus. The filmic description of actions and their detailed analysis has shown that the changeover between the religious to the non religious, the solitary to the communal is being accomplished as a fluid and harmonious continuity. All the practical conditions aim, in the daily monk's life, to an encounter with God. The seven films give an insight into essential elements of the monastic life as well as discreet evidences of the carmelitan spirituality

Full textThe present study investigated whether the foundation of a religious institution in the Frankish world from late sixth to early eighth centuries in a context of rivalries at the top of the state - represents a global process as not only does it meet strategic expectations but also social and economic ones closely linked to spiritual hope. Our cross analysis approach of the various sources - hagiographic, diplomatic and normative ones - allows in the first place to wonder about the religious institutions itself. The multiplicity of designations : basilica, monasterium, xenodochium, suggests an evolution in the organization of the institutions whose role has undergone changes throughout the seventh century. Then it is necessary to understand the founding process which stands as a structural phenomenon involving the elites - monarchs, bishops and aristocrats - allowing each group to dominate at one time in a highly competitive society. After the foundation some material and spiritual conditions must be met to ensure the institution 's survival. The third part focusses more particularly on the initial allocation required by an institution in order to prosper. Institutions with a significant allocation composed of land properties, economic rights and a treasure acted as landlords and bankers in direct contact with the society insofar as they had to manage flows of good thanks to numerous donations. How did institutions manage this access to material wealth while the rule, above all, advocated restraint? The task assigned to them was to ensure the growth of donated properties with a perspective of Salvation, thus making religious institutions the key actors of relationshipswith the afterlife

Le Mans, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996LEMA0003.
Full textIn high maine and anjou around la fleche, twenty-three religious communauties were, according to the spirit of catholic reformation restored or founded. This work studies the constantly ascending movement of this group of religious orders and of women congregations, from the beginning of the decisions of trente council till all the evictions in 1792. Indeed, few convents which hard problems were closed during the 18th century. Yet, far from a run down of the number of nuns, we notice that monastic population resisted the erosion related to the enlightment's century, and that the amount of secular nuns - nurses or teachers - progressed regularly. The documents about the nuns bring quantitative data about their social extraction, on the average age at their profession and death, and also, to a lesser extent, about their calling or the reason for the choice of a convent. These two centuries, while expressing a general stability, reveal deep changes generated by the changes in society. Secular governments differentiate the success of urban cloisters from the weakness of small isolated monastaries. Afar as the best known communauties are concerned, religious life seems to have remained in the demanded strictness of the rule. It also perpetuated, thanks to apostleship and attractive cultual place, the teaching of the message of faith and devotion to laics

Full textThis thesis treats of the evolution of seven charterhouses (grande-chartreuse, durbon, les ecouges, val-sainte-marie, saint-hugon, curriere and chalais) in the region of the first expansion of the carthusian order. The first part deals with the copious records which are kept in grenoble, valence (france), or at grande-chartreuse, especially the cartulaire of this monastery, which was made at the beginning of xvith century. Second part analyses the foundations and the sites of the charterhouses, the structures of the carthusian economy (through the study of cartusian statutes of the xiith and xiiith centuries) and the "deserts" (delimitations, acquisitions, exploitations). Third part deals with the expansion outside the "deserts" (animal husbandry, setting up of agricultural granaries in the second half of the xiiith century), as well as exploitation of these properties and the consequences on work's planing and distribution of the responsabilities between monks and converses. The changes during the xivth and xvth centuries are studied in the last part. They may be explained by internal evolutions to carthusian order more than by economic crisis, although the crisis amplifies these changes. Four charterhouses have serious economic problems. The others, especially grande-chartreuse, look for new incomes and buy real or movable rents. The will to control the expansion of monastic economy according to the original principles, which rules the cartusian economic expansion as far as the end of xiiith century, is not much affirmed during the end of the middle age

Full textAfter the blaze in the Archives Building of the Department de la Manche in 1944, western Normandy was considered as a marginal, undeveloped area condemned to amnesia. There remains, however, a large corpus of writings from the 18th and 19th centuries in various regional and national records. The study of such scattered and diverse documentation covers a vast territory corresponding to Neustria and eastern Normandy and a period stretching from the 6th to the 1 lth century. The purpose of this thesis is to show how this corpus was put together by studying the rewrites and examining the process which helped shape the historiographic profile of the region. Following the research conducted by G. Louise, J-P Brunterc'h and P. Bauduin, this thesis will not consider these territories as seen from the Archbishopric of Rouen or the Duchy of Normandy. It will consider them from within, as an interface subject to multiple and conflicting influences,yet driven by their own territorial, social and political dynamics. This research will focus on the Frankish march whose extensive religious, social and territorial structures lead to the acculturation of the Breton and Scandinavian settlers. For the Norman period, it will first examine the nature of the existing links with the local secular power-holders (specific role of ducal kinship and wives) or with their religious counterparts (establishment of Benedictine abbeys and nomination process of abbots). It will also reassess the part played by the secular clerics. Prosopographic research will help show the existence of a local aristocracy at the beginning of the llth century

Full text210 practising catholic female religious congregations founded in France since the Middle Age represent a demographic group of nearly 200 000 persons, among these, one third live in France, another third within Europe (exclusing France) on the rest outside Europe. Outside Europe, over three quarters of these women are found in North and South America, South African Australia and New Zealand as well as the newly industrialised countries of Asia, less than one tenth of them are found in ex-French colonies in Sub-Saharan Africa. Three quarters of the present day extra-European population belong to congregations founded before 1848. The majority of first installations, which date from the sailing vesse epoch, are located along the major maritime trade routes of that period. Following up the institutions over the past three hundred and fifty years brings to light a range of charitable work involving three components: the charisma of each congregation, the motivation of the French supporting environment and the host country's stage of development

Full textBenedictine monachism was firmly established in Berry, and thrived there throughout the XIth and XIIth centuries. In those times, numerous were the religious edifices which depended on saint Benedict's rule. Nowadays, some of them constitute particularly noticeable examples of romanesque art. Between 613 and 1093, thirteen abbeys were founded. They ruled over three hundred and twenty one churches scattered all over Berry. The architectural analysis of the formers throws light on recurring structural as well as functional elements which seem less obvious in the latters. For that matter, considering the non benedictine edifices of the area shows that they bear a close relation to the churches on which this study focuses. We can therefore infer that there are no artistic characteristics specific to that order, whose role was probably limited to spreading the influence of such great monasteries as Cluny or Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire

Full textThis study concerns a collection of discourses from the work of neophytus the recluse: the book of the catechetical sermons. Neophytes, a priest, monk and recluse (1134-1219) is of interest to all historians and philologists due to his fascinating life and personnality without any formal education and therefore, self-taught, he was the founder of a monastic community and the author of important spiritual works. The study aims at providing a critical editors of the text, a translation into french and a historical commentary of a part of the collection of the catechetical sermons. The chosen texts, unpublished up to the present day only constitute a part of the recluse's work. A study has also been proposed on the "bibliotheque sainte" of the monastery including manuscripts containing the written works of the recluse with a view to describing more fully the unique manuscript with the catechetical sermons provide us with. This manuscript, kept at the bibliotheque nationale de paris (paris. Suppl. Gr. 1317 olim metochion s. Sepulcri 370), is the original manuscript containing notes made by the recluse himself it consists of two books containing 24 and 32 catechetical sermons respectively. Furthermore, this study examines precise details on the liturgy and life of the monastic community of which neophytos undertook the management and more generally on the monastic institution in cyprus. Our aim is neither to judge (or judge on the basis of the principles of the time in which he lived) nor to correct the recluse who, despite these new paleographic factors, hides himself discreetly in his enkleistra, a unique exemple of a recluse for all of us who are on the outside

Full textIn august 1914, the french monks of the Franciscan order founded in 1528 by Matteo Bascio, fa away from their country, following the application of the anti-congregationist laws, responded well to the patriotic call of the war. Within the period of 4 and half years, a certain number of the monks of this order had exercised diverse actions within the army. Many knew of the life in trenches and its misery, the material suffering, both physically and morally, the offensive and counter-offensive stages, some certain periods of unending idleness. This event resulted in the Great War which gave them the opportunity to be close to and share in the experience of the citizens and often the foreigners as well, of varying social classes. Therefore several questions are asked to the historian by the presence in the army of men considered as "segregati" by a large part of public opinion: the minister whose service is close to the mobilized has the main aim to ensure a form of spiritual life which corresponds with their religious engagement. . . As members of a religious missionary congregation, they endeavour to convert some of their army companions to God and to reconcile two clearly contradictory values : patriotism and religious ideal

Full textThis work comprises a new edition, with translation and commentary, of two collections of edifiying tales written by Anastasios of Sinai. The object of the first part is to propose an extensive study of the numerous manuscripts and translations in order to establish the text of the two collections and to reconstruct their original shape. The original greek text is published in a critical edition ; other recensions, by Anastasios himself and other compilers, are published in the appendix. The commentary in the second part is but a general introduction to the collections. Anastasios of Sinai is definitively ascribed as their author, and an attempt is made to write his biography. The Tales on Sinai supply evidence on the history of the monastic community of Sinai. The Spiritually Beneficial Tales deal with the reaction of the Eastern Christian communities after the Islamic Conquest in the second half of the seventh century

Full textThis thesis weaves together two distinct historiographical strands: research on crime and criminal justice and that on religious orders and communities. It offers an analysis of criminality in the cloister, by examining crimes committed by religious against other religious (forms of violence, homicide, theft…), from the 12th to the 15th century. A comparative framework allowed for a comprehensive study of male and female religious, belonging to orders such as Cluniacs, Cistercians, Premonstratensians and Carthusians or to a less juridically defined communities, i.e. the monks, who followed the rule of St Benedict, or the Regular Canons, who lived according to the rule of St Augustine. The scope is European with a special interest in French and British kingdoms. A study of criminal practices, the profiles of offenders and victims, the circumstances and motivations of the crime reveals the permeability of the monastery to worldy attitudes. Indeed, monastic ideals, which exalt humility, self-control and forgiveness, at times came into conflict with the individual’s desire to defend his/her honour by seeking revenge. Finally, the present study focuses on the way monastic justice operated – which is, simultaneously, disciplinary and administrative, penitential and penal. By the 12th century, monastic delinquents had ceased to be disciplined only by the abbot and were examined and chastised by new monastic authorities of the religious orders (general chapter, definitorium) or by the bishop or the pope. From the 12th to the end of the 15th century, the religious orders and communities developed a judicial and penal system. Nevertheless, if the correctio was aimed at preserving the Church’s integrity by avoiding scandal, it also sought to amend the culprit, whose absolution and reconciliation to community remained the ultimate goal

Full textThe abbeys of women of the region of Eastern Germany, of historic Upper Lusatia (Marienthal, Marienstern, Lauban) are the only catholic institutions which have survived in the mainly protestant area. I study their situation above all in 16L and 17L century when it was necessary to constitute an organisational basis from which further existence of convents could evolve. The existence of nuns was determined just as strongly by politics, (church) administration and by social and economical factors, as it was by its coexistence with Protestantism, and often in the continuity with the local tradition. A micro-historic investigation of an internal crisis of the convents in the second half of the 16 and the beginning of 17TH century follows, reflecting the blended influence of various authorities, as well as by general trends in the evolution of women's monastic life of the period. The analysis is appended by notes on the inhabitants of the convents and the history of convent dominions

Full textHagiographic production written during the ducal period in Normandy (911-1204) has never been the subject of an exhaustive and rigorous study. It was impossible to have precise and certain statistical data on the characteristics, even if only quantitative, of this production: its division by centuries, the relationships between the texts of known authors and those written by anonymous authors, the distribution between the number of ancient or medieval saints, the hagiographic subgenres (vitae, passion, miracula, translations), the "typologies of holiness" (bishop, abbot, laity, woman, etc.). This situation, which is detrimental to the criticism of texts, is due first of all to the difficulty of processing hagiographical texts in terms of the history of literature: too many authors remain anonymous, many texts are not dated and their place of production remains uncertain. Thus, if hagiography is an essential source of Norman history, the conditions of its production and dissemination have not been studied in a global way, nor have they given rise to the creation of research tools.This thesis aims to fill this gap, both by creating a Repertorium (with a "chrono-geo-hagiographic" database, allowing a mapping of medieval Norman production) of hagiographic texts written during the period 911-1204, and by opening critical and historical reflection on this corpus. The aim was to research and understand the centres of hagiographic production; to show the relationships between the texts, authors, libraries and institutions where these documents were produced; to understand the work of the authors (research and use of sources, literary choices); to explain the motives (religious, pastoral, liturgical, but also political and economic) that are at the basis of medieval hagiographic writing

Full textThe hypothesis that has been retained is that of a constant evolution of devout women in the Middle Ages which continued until a congregation of the third order in the XVIIth (seventeenth) century.In this study, the grey nuns in the ecclesiastical province of Cambrai, heterogeneous religious communities of active nuns in society, are classified into three groups to study their number, their characteristics and their evolution. These three groups are: the hospital nuns (for example Saint-Omer and La Bassée), the nuns of Sainte-Catherine/ the Sainte-Catherine nuns and the grey nuns (e. g. Lille), the cellites black nuns (e.g. Namur). In the late Middle Ages, hospital mercy is the most representative of the apostolate of grey nuns. The closure, imposed by the Council of Trent, but not provided for in the statutes, imposes difficult changes of the Franciscan third order. From the XVIIth (seventeenth) century onwards, the Franciscans offer the uncloistered grey nuns to join a female reformed order as annonciades or the conceptionistes or else to use the penitents- recolecttines of Limburg as a model

Full textEver since the 17th century, historians have been debating when the monastic order of Cîteaux began to include nuns, and whether it did so willingly or not. The order was first devised as an association of abbots and monks. However, the white monks had to find a religious status for their female relatives, since conversion was usually a lineage issue. The solutions varied a lot, especially with the different areas of the Western World. Even Bernard of Clairvaux did supervise nunneries and promoted a model of monastic life so attractive that hundreds of nunneries entered the cistercian order from 1200 on. The general chapter tried to strengthen the abbots' control over the nuns, to the detriment of the abbesses and of their own filiation system. The paternity over the nunneries was centralized by Cîteaux and Clairvaux. Around 1300, while the order had lost most of its original features, its institutions were in a perfect state

Full textIn the Middle Ages, the fraternity networks have favored the movement of people between religious communities. The reconstruction of fraternity network of the Abbey of the Trinity Fécamp - achieved through the development of an innovative method that has enabled to identify an important fragment obituary of this monastery - not only confirms the existence of a movement of monks but serves primarily to highlight the flow of manuscripts and texts between the institutions most closely associated. The study of the fraternity networks is therefore a particularly rich field of research and promising for the knowledge of the history of ancient libraries as well as that of the transmission and receipt of the written heritage. It deserves special attention when the researcher is interested in the Benedictine libraries constituted and enriched between the tenth and thirteenth centuries (peak of activity of monastic scriptoria, when the monasteries were the main spiritual and cultural centers of the West). The survey is also the opportunity to deepen our knowledge of the volpianien spiritual network as well as the library and the scriptorium of the abbey of the Trinity Fécamp abbots under William of Volpiano (1001-1028) and Jean de Fécamp (1028-1078). It enabled to allocate to this library 23 new manuscripts and to reject 9 others. Fifteen monastic libraries Burgundy, Italian, Lorraine, Paris region, Anjou and Normandy, closely associated with Fécamp, are also the subject of a comprehensive study

Full textFounded in 1610 in Annecy, the Visitation order experienced a rapid expansion in France, accompanied by the construction of numerous churches and monasteries. This phenomenon takes part in the general Counter Reformation revival of religious architecture. The work includes a catalogue (vol. II) displaying architectural and historical descriptions of each of the 124 convents, illustrated in volume III. The first part of the work (vol. I) is centered on the study of the ideal programme established by the founders through a standard plan. Its elaboration and divulgation is discussed, as well as the problems raised by the building process : selection of the site, realization of the work, patronage and financing of the project. Finally, the buildings are analysed according to their loyalty to the standard model. The aim of this work is to bring out elements for a History of feminin monastic architecture, a topic insofar rather neglected by Historiography

Full textIn 1226 Francis of Assisi, sick and close to death, dictated his testament in which he forbade to his friars to put glosses in the Rule [mittere glossas in Regula] and invited to understand [intelligere] and observe without comment [sine glossa] his indications. Three centuries later all the texts which reflected on the Rule, commenting it entirely or partially, were collected in some books of the beginning of XVI century called Specula Minorum or Firmamenta ordinis Minorum. They were several tens of texts belonging to different literary typologies: papal declarations on the Rule, Constitutiones of the general chapters of the friars, letters, treatises, questiones and Expositiones super Regulam. In three centuries, therefore, not only the Francis’ prohibition was ignored but the friars created a collection of texts which commented the Rule in different ways and forms. Drawing up these texts, the friars Minor developed in these centuries an exceptional number of reflexions about the Rule mainly if we compare this textual production with the one of other religious Orders. The thesis analyses a specific typology of texts present in this corpus of works, the Expositiones super Regulam, trying to investigate who are the actors, which are their goals, to which public they addressed and who were the ones who read and copied them. Once we had these details the Expositiones could be valorised as useful sources to rebuild some aspects of the history of the minoritic Order related to the social and cultural history of Late Middle Ages. The Expositiones super Regulam could be defined as a specific literary typology starting from two elements: an always identical structure formed by the quotation of a lemma of the Rule followed by a part of comment and a primarily exegetic goal. Through these criteria I identified twenty texts: • The Expositio super Regulam of Four Masters, • The Elucidatio super Regulam of Hugh of Digne, • The Expositio Regulae of David of Augsburg, • The one of John Pecham,• The one of the Pseudo-Bonaventure or of the Pseudo-Pecham,• The Declaratio Regulae of John of Wales, • The Expositio super Regulam of Peter John Olivi,• The Brevis Expositio Regulae • The one of Angel Clareno, • The anonym Expositio Regulae inside the manuscript Sankt Florian, Stiftsbibliothek, XI 148,• The one of Bartholomew of Pisa,• The Dechiaratione dela Regola of John of Capistrano,• The Expositio Regulae et Constitutionum of Christophe of Varese,• The Serena conscientia of Alexander Ariosto,• The Lucerna fratrum Minorum of Jaime de Alcalà,• The Expositio Regulae of Bartholomew of Brendola,• The one of Augustin of Alfeld,• The two Dialogues of John Pili of Fano.In the first part I analyse every Expositio Regulae. For every Commentary I give the same, fundamental elements: the contextualisation in the history of the Order, some indications about authorship and dating, the public, the goals, the relations with other texts and, finally, an analysis of the structure.

Full textThe aim of this research is the notion of asceticism and its application with Caesarius of Arles, monk-bishop of the VIth century. For him, this requirement for hardship in the daily life of the people appears to represent a prerequisite for the return to faith among the congregation he addresses. It is through hardship that Caesarius wishes to divert the most ordinary people from any danger conveyed by pagan behaviour, but he does, however, not forget charity. His notion of governance is democratic; he fights abuse and is protective and kind towards the poor. The thesis examines these questions using Sermons to people but also Sermons to monks and Monastic works in order to discover whether the vocabulary used is identical and if for Caesarius, the reference to the good Christian is the monk indeed. This will highlight the bishop of Arles’ innovating character for Church life as, according to him, only a modest lifestyle will enable everyone to save one’s soul but also comply with the message of Christ

Full textFounded in the early years of 12th Century in the heart of a movement of monastic renewal, the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Sulpice quickly grew thanks to its founder, hermit Raoul de la Futaie, and to the support of the Dukes of Brittany, thus getting at the head of about forty priories by the 13th Century. The rigorist principles of hermits can be recognized in the abbey church’s architecture, whose partitioned spaces and bare, sober decoration favour a conventual life based on meditation. Originally meant as a double monastery, the insubordination of the male friars lead to their disappearance in the course of the 16th Century, leaving Saint-Sulpice as a fully women’s abbey. Led by their vocation, the nuns enter into a restricting life whose landmark is their strict enclosure. The Rule of Saint Benedict and the monastery’s Constitutions bind the nuns’ environment so that they can only find comfort in their own submissiveness and self-abnegation. At the helm of her community, the abbess rules with discretio and guides the girls towards perfection. The priories, remote from the mother house, progressively gain some independence, increased still by the reception of their own novices from the 17th Century on. The rise of conventual priories against the decline of rural houses leads to a dichotomy of this network by the end of the 18th Century

Full textThe promise of equality for all in education at the time of the Revolution will not be achieved in the following years. France does not have the means to set up education for its ambitions. With Napoleon and the return of the monarchy, the congregations find the privileged position they held under the old regime to supplement these deficiencies. The two main obstacles to equality that are socially and gender difference, and solutions to address these brakes, are studied in this thesis based on the concrete example of the maritime city of Fécamp (Seine maritime, France) from 1806 to 1906 where three congregations, the sisters of Providence of Rouen, the Christian brothers and the sisters of Saint Vincent de Paul, shared education (through schools and orphanages) with teachers and laic personnel

Full textThis study aims to analyse, from a double practical and ideological point of view, the place of monks and monasteries in the early medieval hispanic society, apart from Catalonia and al-Andalus. The functions of monasteries were in part traditional and in keeping with the ones they fulfilled elsewhere in the christian West. The rise of monasticism – that is, the foundation of monasteries, their increase in wealth trough donations, their ability to feed themselves with new recruits – may be explained by the belief in the doctrine of salvation, which incited every one to strive for his own redemption and that of his relatives. However, the abundance of monasteries in the peninsular christendom also depended on other factors : economic, political and memorial strategies of the elite ; ability of rural communities to make appear from themselves small monasteries ; expansion of the northern realms at the expense of al-Andalus. The proliferation of monasteries was boosted by the fluidness of the normative framework in which they took place and which favoured a wide range of formal adaptation, in such a way that many modest monasteria were not easy to distinguish from simple rural churches – one of their essential functions being to serve as places of worship. The big monasteries also took part in the social control and pastoral care, thanks to the hold on the episcopal functions, celebration of liturgical ceremonies opened to lay people, ownership of rural churches and privileges of immunity that put them at the head of authentic seigniories. The border situation of the early medieval Iberian Peninsula gave to monasteries a peculiar tone. As well as they suffered from the muslim assaults, they took part in the defence of the christian territories. In such a context, part of their usual functions were redirected to specific applications, of which the attention to the lot of prisoners or the development of a bellicist liturgy at the end of the 11th century are good examples. The social functions assumed by monasteries and the prestige of the monastic way of life explain that the monks, in practical terms, held a central position in the running of society. However, this role was not enough to make emerge, in discursive terms, the idea – promoted at the same time by some big monasteries north of the Pyrenees – that the monks were the elite of a christian society hierarchically organized by a criterion of purity and claimed, for that very reason, to be at the top of the social order. The visigothic tradition in which hispanic monasticism was rooted may partly explain that it remained for long impervious to the ultra-pyrenean monastic trends. At the end of the 11th century, a process of normalization drove the iberian monasteries into a new phasis of their history

Full textBetween the early 14th century and the first thirty years of the 16th century, beliefs and practices about the Virgin Mary in Sweden undergo an evolution which, while increasing the integration of the country into European space, also singularizes it by its characteristics. For example, the influence of Saint Bridget of Sweden is considerable. As mystic and a particularly zealous devotee of the Mother of God, Bridget founded in Vadstena a monastery and a religious order whose influence is crucial on Swedish spirituality. Using primary sources produced by Bridget and her spiritual heirs, as well as those concerning the worship of the Virgin Mary in a more general perspective, this dissertation aims at documenting the major influence of Bridgettine spirituality on the religiosity of the Swedes at the end of the Middle Ages. The specificity of the Swedish Marian cult are studied on different scales: from the monastery of Vadstena to the dioceses, thanks to liturgical sources. The modalities of diffusion of Marian celebrations are studied as well as the transmission of dogmatic contents. If the methodology used in this dissertation is mainly the one of the historian, it does not rule out a temporary use of tools developped by other discipline, and especially Cognitive Sciences

Full textThe promotion and empowerment of women is a recurrent theme in the society today. The history of the Catholic Church, from its very inception, has shown its indifference towards women due to the strong male representation in its institutions. In fact, the question of the promotion of women remained insignificant or rather a sensitive issue within the Church. The clergymen, anti-women by their attitude and with considerable power in the local administration, opposed all possible services by women in the church and in the society. The peak of this opposition, in our opinion, is situated towards the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century with the stringent imposition of cloister for women who tried to engage in social service together with their spiritual life. In the same way, in a society predominantly patriarchal, the woman's existence went almost unnoticed. Surprisingly, the intervention of Vincent de Paul and his collaboration with women opened up possibilities not only for their promotion but also for a change of attitude towards them in the Church and the society. With his clever interpretations of the laws of the Church, Vincent would succeed in bringing the woman out of cloister for the service of the poor at home, in hospitals and in the streets. The Confraternity of Charity founded in 1617, the Daughters of Charity founded in 1633 and the Confraternity of the Ladies of Charity at Hôtel-Dieu founded in 1634 remain as a visible and living history of the success of the promotion of woman by Vincent de Paul

Full textThe Apophtegmata Patrum reached us in the form of two classical collections of the late fifth century which regroup the sayings of the great ascetics of the fourth and the fifth century, especially Egyptian ones, as well as anecdotes illustrating their teaching. This influential, fragmentary literature is studied here in order to determine what the prayer of those great monks was. After the presentation of collections, Part I is devoted to terminology, then to typology and modalities of prayer which were studied with the help of other monastic texts of the same epoch. Part II examines the historical background and highlights the importance of the controversy with Messalians, and that with Origenists, for the evolution of the monastic prayer. The last chapter is dedicated to an important particular case, that of Anthony the Great, who is known to us by the Apophtegmata, as well as by his letters and his Life written by Athanasius

Full textThe iconography of St. Gregory the Great (ca. 540 - March 12, 604) has so far been little studied, despite a resurgence of studies recognized for several decades. When we know the importance of this saint in medieval society, especially from the ninth century to the twelfth century, it seems therefore logical to study the iconographic aspects and issues emanating from it. A rich antique heritage and especially carolingian giving it authority, the Gregorian picture often inserted within an image tripartite hierarchy (God, man and the book), seems to be linked to several data: hagiographic, scenic, scriptural or geographic. It describes the relationship between oral and written records, reports changes depending on litteras and the importance of storage and research shows acute sense. Tending to move away from hagiographics bases, it emphasizes between the IXth and XIth centuries, the vocalization, and then, in the twelfth century, on the representation of the different phases of the life of a text (inspiration, transcription, writing, transmission), this that the image is linked to the production of the book focuses on the representation of the transmission of knowledge and teaching wherein the visualization of knowledge becomes important (genealogical and didactic research focus on the virtues of the saint). Gregory, endowed with imperial attributes raising him toward beyond, is integrated into an image representing the invisible because God remains hidden from the view of the man. These pictures to be inserted in the liturgical context and sensitive, are not only reflected the main concerns theological, moral or canonical time but mostly trying to legitimize them

Full textDuring the XVth century, European societies got transformed by deep social, cultural but also religious evolutions. A great reform movement spread through all the regular religious orders. The supporters of this movement, quickly called the “Observance” , were asking for a more rigorous respect of the Rule; they were also involved in the secular Church, trying to make up for the several crisis it was undergoing at the moment. Religious women took an active part in this movement. Dominican nuns, inspired by Catherine of Siena’s teaching, began to reform their monasteries in 1385: they reaffirmed their contemplative role within the Order of Preachers and elaborated some very strict new norms of enclosure, considered as a the visible sign of their total consecration to God. The diffusion of these new monasteries strictly enclosed, while beguines and penitent women were still numerous in the cities, was an outstanding fact for contemporary people. The Observance indeed has to be considered and studied within its social context. That is why we paid attention to the social composition of two italian observant communities of Dominican nuns (until 1461). The religious women taken into account in our study were mainly coming from non-noble but rich families (bankers, members of intellectual professions, rich artisans). Most of them were widow women. Thus, little by little, the first reformers nuns were replaced by other members of their families, mostly young brides that would not have been married, and whose parents considered observant monasteries as an honourable refuges. The Observant reform’s success is not only due to its message on the Church and Christian Society revival, but also to the answer it gave to the new requests of an enlarged and urbanized ruling class. The walls of the enclosed convents were indeed supposed to preserve the honour of a growing number of non-married women, making visible to external people their consecrated life in a society in which everybody was supposed to do the duty corresponding to its own status
Le società europee del Quattrocento sono segnate da profonde mutazioni sociali, culturali, e anche religiose. Un movimento di riforma, che presto verrà chiamato “osservanza”, appare in quasi tutti gli ordini religiosi. Gli Osservanti promuovono il rispetto stretto della Regola, senza staccarsi però dal mondo dei laici nel quale si impegnano, cercando di rimediare alle difficoltà della Chiesa secolare, allora in crisi. Le religiose partecipano attivamento al movimento. Le monache domenicane, fedeli all’insegnamento di Caterina da Siena, cominciano a riformare le loro comunità a partire del 1385. La loro riforma consiste nella reaffermazione del loro ruolo contemplativo all’interno dell’Ordine dei Predicatori e nell’elaborazione di nuove e severissime norme di clausura, considerata come la manifestazione visibile della loro consacrazione totale a Dio. La diffusione dei monasteri di stretta clausura nelle città quattrocentesche in cui beghine e penitenti sono ancora numerose colpisce molto i contemporanei. L’Osservanza infatti non puo essere capita senza prendere in considerazione il contesto sociale in cui si è sviluppata; abbiamo dunque studiato con particolare interesse la composizione sociale di due comunità osservanti di Domenicane italiane. Le religiose censite nel nostro studio (dal 1385 al 1461) provengono, per la maggior parte, da ricche famiglie borghesi (banchieri, membri delle professioni intellettuali, ricchi artigiani); sono anche molto spesso vedove. Tuttavia, a poco a poco, vengono sostituite da altre donne provenienti dalle stesse famiglie, soprattutto giovani ragazze non destinate al matrimonio i cui genitori considerano il monastero osservante come un luogo sicuro e prestigioso. Il successo della riforma osservante, quindi, non è dovuto solo alle predicazioni dei suoi sostenitori sulla rinascità della Chiesa e della società cristiana, ma anche al fatto che la riforma sia andata incontro alle nuove esigenze di una classe dirigente più larga e più urbanizzata: i muri della clausura proteggono infatti l’onore delle sempre più numerose donne celibi, e rendono visibile la loro consecrazione in una società in cui tutti devono adempiere i doveri del proprio stato

It ends with a rapid survey of the population, the toponymy and the survey and register. A first section follows concerning the gallo roman period. It is a survey about a rural environment with a dispersed habitation or sometimes dwellings in villages. A survey is carried out about housing, water conveniences and economical activities. A part is devoted to the questions of religion, funerals, and to roads. A second section deals with the early middle age : name of the places mentioned in the "charter of clovis", study of agricultural establishments, development of religious structures, presentation on the first castles and finally a summary about local craftwork. In conclusion, a summary is presented. The area studied appears as a totally rural sector, with differences according to the period, in the way in which the land was occupied depending on the quality of the land and the altitude. No drastic change was noticed between the antiquity and the early middle age
