Abstract

Over the last two decades scholars have transformed our approaches to the religious history of the later middle ages. Setting aside older models of crisis and decline, reform and (pre-) Reformation, they now engage an era shown to be sparkling with energy and variety. A religious landscape once viewed through sharp dichotomies (elites against commoners, Latin against vernacular culture, clergy against laity, and so on across a wide range), now challenges scholars to think in terms of paradox, tension, and unpredictability, and to balance broad generalization with regional and local complexity. Moreover, scholars now confront more fully than ever the challenge of the sources an unexplored wilderness of manuscripts and texts, of genres and dynamics of authorship, publicity and circulation that defy easy categorization.1 In ways resonant with this scholarship, the last two decades and more have also witnessed a reconsideration of the life and career of Giovanni of Capestrano. Though Johannes Hofer’s monumental two-volume biography in many ways remains a standard, its early-twentieth century Catholic vision of ‘a life in the fight for the reform of the Church’ now yields to a wide range of new perspectives and approaches. From the pioneering conferences organized by Edith Pasztor and the essays of Kaspar Elm to the contributions of this volume of Franciscan Studies, scholars have transformed our image of the friar in ways that reflect and reinforce our changing view of his era.2 Capestrano’s preaching, writing, and trav-

贝纳迪诺的腐烂尸体?一个怀疑论者关于卡佩斯特拉诺在阿尔卑斯山北部传教的故事
在过去的二十年里,学者们已经改变了我们研究中世纪后期宗教史的方法。抛开危机和衰退、改革和(前)改革的旧模式,他们现在进入了一个充满活力和多样性的时代。一个曾经通过尖锐的二分法来看待的宗教景观(精英与平民,拉丁语与本土文化,神职人员与俗人,等等),现在挑战学者们从悖论,紧张和不可预测性的角度来思考,并平衡广泛的概括与区域和地方的复杂性。此外,学者们现在比以往任何时候都更全面地面临着来源的挑战——手稿和文本的未开发的荒野,作者的体裁和动态,宣传和流通,这些都无法轻易分类在过去的20多年里,人们对卡佩斯特拉诺的乔瓦尼的生活和事业进行了重新思考,这与这种学术研究产生了共鸣。尽管约翰内斯·霍弗(Johannes Hofer)的巨著两卷本传记在很多方面仍然是标准的,但它在20世纪早期对“为教会改革而奋斗的一生”的天主教愿景,现在让位给了广泛的新视角和新方法。从伊迪丝·帕兹托组织的开创性会议和卡斯帕·埃尔姆的论文到这本方济各会研究卷的贡献,学者们以反映和加强我们对他的时代不断变化的看法的方式改变了我们对修士的形象卡佩斯特拉诺的讲道、写作和旅行
