Abstract

This article reconsiders the motivation of the author of the anonymous Life of Cuthbert to insist that the saint received the Petrine tonsure at Ripon instead of (the more likely Irish tonsure) at Melrose, as Bede recounts. While scholars widely agree that this detail was meant to provide Cuthbert with a Roman background less contentious than his actual Irish-influenced upbringing, I will propose a parallel motivation from the perspective of ecclesiastical geography. I argue that the anonymous author used the tonsure as one further method of attempting to expand Lindisfarne’s sphere of influence in early medieval Northumbria.

反思里彭:卡斯伯特的头发和诺森伯兰教会地理学
这篇文章重新考虑了《卡斯伯特的匿名生活》作者的动机,他坚持认为这位圣徒在里彭而不是梅尔罗斯接受了彼得式的剃头(更有可能是爱尔兰式的剃头),正如比德所述。虽然学者们普遍认为,这个细节是为了给卡斯伯特提供一个罗马背景,而不是他实际受爱尔兰影响的成长经历,但我将从教会地理学的角度提出一个平行的动机。我认为,这位匿名作者利用剃头作为进一步扩大林迪斯法恩在中世纪早期诺森布里亚的势力范围的一种方法。

Produced since 1966 under the auspices of the School of History, University of Leeds, its purpose is to publish scholarly work on the history of the seven historic Northern counties of England: Cheshire, Cumberland, Durham, Lancashire, Northumberland, Westmorland and Yorkshire. Since it was launched it has always been a refereed journal, attracting articles on Northern subjects from historians in many parts of the world.
