Christopher Bonura, Philippa Turner
This is a collection of ten essays, including an introduction by Philippa Turner, ranging from twelfth-century medieval Ireland (Maggie M. Williams) to fifteenth-century angel roofs in East Anglia (Sarah Cassell). In between, the collection covers a range of subjects covering a variety of media and periods. Ostensibly, and as the title states, this is a collection on the specific object known as the rood in medieval art. Anyone looking for the object which we generally and wrongly know as the rood—a crucifix, especially a large one, found at the entrance to a chancel or choir in a medieval church, usually supported by a rood beam or rood screen, will be disappointed! Even though we have been told on countless occasions that the rood is in fact the cross and that the terms are interchangeable, we are now so firmly entrenched in the meaning of the word that it is impossible to see it as other than the elevated cross. This is a book which will make us look with fresh eyes at the specific meaning of the word. In broadest terms the subject of this book is the cross, and, even then, it is a specific examination of the work within the confines of time and space (Western Europe). As we are told on several occasions, the crucifixion can be the result of complex iconography thanks to factors such as date, medium, and location. The term is much broader than commonly understood and includes a selection of works which forces us to look again at these objects. Essays on the rood and the cross join a selection of other works on this subject but not in a comprehensive and far-reaching manner. This book invites the reader to look anew at the cross, but, even then, it is selective in what it looks at and does not aim to be comprehensive. In other cases, it argues that the unusual was the commonplace. The range is very broad and excludes far too many exempla, nevertheless, the essays present us with an interesting perspective in themselves. The essays range geographically from Spain to Ireland to Scotland and England, as well as chronologically from the tenth to the late fifteenth century and try to include many perspectives on this motif. The collection presents a number of ideas that have not been examined in detail before, including Kate Thomas’s study on the mark of the cross in the open air, Sara Carreňos Galician crosses, Lucy Wrapson’s use of color in English rood screens, and Sarah Cassell’s study on the angel roof in East Anglia. Some of the general essays may venture a little too much in the dark and attempt to paint a broad picture with few examples, but, as a collection, the essays present us with some exploratory ideas for future thought.
这是一本十篇散文集,包括菲利普·特纳的引言,从十二世纪中世纪的爱尔兰(玛吉·威廉姆斯饰)到十五世纪东安格利亚的天使屋顶(莎拉·卡塞尔饰)。在此期间,该系列涵盖了一系列主题,涵盖了各种媒体和时期。从表面上看,正如标题所说,这是一个关于中世纪艺术中被称为rood的特定物体的收藏。任何人如果想寻找我们通常错误地称之为rood——一个十字架,尤其是一个大十字架,在中世纪教堂的圣坛或唱诗班入口处发现,通常由rood梁或rood屏风支撑,都会感到失望!尽管我们在无数场合被告知,rood实际上是十字架,这些术语是可互换的,但我们现在已经牢牢地理解了这个词的含义,不可能把它看作是高架十字架之外的其他东西。这本书将使我们对这个词的具体含义有新的认识。从广义上讲,这本书的主题是十字架,即使在那时,它也是在时间和空间范围内对作品的具体考察(西欧)。正如我们在几个场合所知,十字架可能是复杂图像学的结果,这要归功于日期、媒介和地点等因素。这个术语比通常理解的要广泛得多,包括一些迫使我们重新审视这些物体的作品。关于罗德和十字架的文章加入了关于这个主题的其他作品的选择,但并不全面和深远。这本书邀请读者重新审视十字架,但即便如此,它所看的东西也是有选择性的,并不旨在全面。在其他情况下,它认为不同寻常的是司空见惯的。范围非常广泛,排除了太多的例子,然而,这些文章本身就为我们提供了一个有趣的视角。从西班牙到爱尔兰,再到苏格兰和英格兰,从10世纪到15世纪末,这些文章在地理上都有,并试图包含许多关于这一主题的观点。该系列展示了许多以前没有详细研究过的想法,包括凯特·托马斯对露天十字架标记的研究、萨拉·卡雷奥斯的加利西亚十字架、露西·雷普森在英国rood屏风中使用颜色的研究,以及莎拉·卡塞尔对东安格利亚天使屋顶的研究。一些一般性的文章可能会在黑暗中冒险太多,试图用很少的例子描绘一幅广阔的图景,但作为一本集,这些文章为我们未来的思考提供了一些探索性的想法。

Henry Suso's Doormat of Abandonment 亨利·苏索的《被遗弃的门垫
IF 0.1 Pub Date : 2023-07-01 DOI: 10.5325/jmedirelicult.49.2.0195

abstract:This article explores how Henry Suso, while advancing along his mystic and mystagogic path, encounters and embraces a doormat that both inspires and inhibits his practice of the abandonment that it betokens. It argues that, by affectively clinging onto this token, rather than giving it away to Elsbeth Stagel to alleviate her suffering, Suso displays how unexemplary he remains in the task of abandoning himself. His unexemplary behavior contrasts not only with Stagel's handcrafting and distributing copies of his carved-out IHS monogram, but also with her advancement, before him and beyond his guidance, into the naked Godhead. The exposure of these deficiencies in his exemplarity accentuates not only how the servant of eternal Wisdom functions as an aspirational figure for Suso, but also how the crucified Christ alone, in his total and unsurpassable abandonment to God and by God, serves as the exemplar of exemplars. In being progressively conformed to the self-emptying and self-emptied Jesus, Suso is summoned to abandon even his self-constructed "abandoned" self.
摘要:本文探讨了亨利·苏索在其神秘主义和神秘主义的道路上前进时,如何遇到并拥抱一个门垫,这个门垫既激励又抑制了他所预示的放弃实践。它认为,通过深情地抓住这枚代币,而不是把它送给埃尔斯贝丝·斯塔格尔来减轻她的痛苦,苏索展示了他在抛弃自己的任务中是多么的平凡。他平淡无奇的行为不仅与斯塔格尔手工制作和分发他雕刻的IHS花押字形成了鲜明对比,也与她在他面前超越他的指导,成为裸体教头形成了鲜明对照。在他的榜样性中暴露出这些缺陷,不仅突出了永恒智慧的仆人是如何成为苏苏的理想人物的,而且突出了被钉十字架的基督是如何独自成为榜样的,在他对上帝和上帝的完全和无可争议的抛弃中。在逐渐适应自我清空和自我清空的耶稣的过程中,苏索被召唤抛弃甚至是他自己构建的“被抛弃”的自我。

JMRC_49_2_05_Book_Reviews.indd Page 271 18/08/23 7:39 PM Taken together, the essays that comprise The Rood in Medieval Britain and Ireland bring together a constellation of art historical, textually historical, sociological, and literary arguments that effectively provoke new ways of thinking about cruciform medieval roods in Ireland, Britain, and beyond. The pieces’ individual case studies and argumentative interventions into an array of scholarly conversations make the text an effective resource for any scholar interested in roods, medieval visual culture, or—in particular— interdisciplinary methodological frameworks for examining medieval art objects, or those objects’ present-day absence.

"Sowe ye yt together as ye may": Textile Images as Meditational Stimuli in Fifteenth-Century English Bridgettine Writings “尽你所能让你在一起”:纺织图像作为15世纪英国布里奇廷作品中的冥想刺激

abstract:This article aligns St. Bridget of Sweden's Liber celestis revelacionum with the genre of gospel meditations popularized in late-medieval England by Nicholas Love's Mirror of the Blessed Life of Jesus Christ. It considers how descriptions of specific fabrics, with textures that would be known intimately by a fifteenth-century reader, engage and stimulate the devout imagination. The article focuses on the role of textiles and textile imagery within the Bridgettine Syon Abbey, arguing for a particular sensitivity to texture within the Bridgettines' daily experience, which facilitates their embodied relationship with the Virgin Mary. It concludes with a close reading of Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Rawlinson C.41, exploring the interrelation between its fifteenth-century Bridgettine treatises, which emphasize the symbolic and spiritual value of textile imagery within late-medieval Marian devotion.
摘要:本文将瑞典自由女神的圣布里奇特与尼古拉斯·洛夫的《耶稣基督的幸福生活之镜》在中世纪晚期推广的福音冥想流派进行了比较。它考虑了对特定织物的描述,以及十五世纪读者所熟知的纹理,是如何吸引和激发虔诚的想象力的。这篇文章聚焦于纺织品和纺织品图像在布里奇廷·西翁修道院中的作用,认为布里奇廷人的日常体验对纹理特别敏感,这有助于他们与圣母玛利亚的具体关系。最后,我们仔细阅读了牛津大学博德利图书馆,罗林森女士C.41,探讨了其15世纪布里奇丁论文之间的相互关系,这些论文强调了中世纪晚期玛丽安奉献精神中纺织品意象的象征和精神价值。

Medieval Saints and Modern Screens: Divine Visions as Cinematic Experience 中世纪圣徒与现代银幕:作为电影体验的神圣幻象
Pub Date : 2023-07-01 DOI: 10.5325/jmedirelicult.49.2.0263

The hagiographical source base has long been dogged by the problem of mediation. Can we know anything about the hagiographical subject, or just what her biographer wanted to say about her? Are we ever engaging with Marie d’Oignies, or only with Jacques de Vitry? Spencer-Hall tackles this issue head-on, leaning into mediation to approach hagiography as a form of media. Specifically, she argues that “medieval mystic episodes are made intelligible to modern audiences through reference to the filmic—the language, form, and lived experience of cinema” (11). Focusing on the Holy Women of Liège as her source base, Spencer-Hall uses modern cinema theory from four areas—photography, film, celebrity, and digital avatars—to generatively engage the Liègeoises.Spencer-Hall’s interdisciplinary approach is a real strength of the book. Her engagement with film, media, visual, and religious studies formulates a convincing way of encountering the Liègeoises as “animated visual objects and active icons . . . who are capable of ‘looking back’” at us (62). Central to this is Spencer-Hall’s “agape-ic encounter” (14). Building on Margaret A. Farley’s feminist approach to agape, Spencer-Hall connects the experience of the medieval visionary and the modern film viewer: “in the cinema, I meet the film’s gaze; in hagiography, a holy woman meets God’s gaze. So doing, we perceive (feel and see) ourselves being seen, and thus we are looked and felt into being” (16). This compelling framework enables Spencer-Hall to encounter medieval holy women beyond Laura Mulvey’s cinematic male gaze, blurring the subject/object distinction as they become objects who reciprocate. It is a little unclear who is looking at whom in this reciprocal spectatorship—is the holy woman looking only at God, or also at us through the hagiographic genre?Spencer-Hall structures her book into four chapters, moving chronologically according to cinematic developments rather than medieval history. This structure reemphasizes the importance of cinema theory to Spencer-Hall’s argument. Theory is not an add-on for Spencer-Hall; it is not something ripped from modernity and pressed onto a medieval past. Modern screens are not shoehorned into medieval saints but rather provide the explicit, structural framework from which Spencer-Hall constructs her argument. In her use of Latour’s polytemporal, helical theory of time, Spencer-Hall convincingly shows the close interface between medieval ecstatic and modern cinematic experiences.Chapter 1 draws a parallel between photographic technologies and hagiographic visions. Spencer-Hall begins by showing how photography and visions both disrupt linear time. When we view a photograph, we are experiencing a past moment that has been “fixed” and “superimposed” onto our present moment (71). Photographs are thus both chronological and atemporal, which help elucidate medieval concepts of time: the linear mode of earthly time, and the atemporal nature of sacred time. Medieval mysti
辛普森的发型师把她塑造成了一个名人,而他自己也通过代理成名。同样,雅克·德·维特里通过她的生活把玛丽·德·奥尼尼塑造成一个圣人,他自己也成为了一个明星。斯宾塞-霍尔的第二对搭档是玛杰里·肯普和金·卡戴珊,她们都以爱哭著称。这两个女人都因为泪水“占据了空间”而受到谴责,斯宾塞-霍尔将其与她们创造自己名声的行为联系起来(174页)。这里有一点很重要,那就是女性是如何被允许存在于公共场所的。斯宾塞-霍尔还提出了一个令人信服的理由,即狂热在18世纪和19世纪并没有出现,因为雅克·德·维特里和玛杰里·肯普可以被视为玛丽·德·欧尼的粉丝。第四章,即最后一章,将网络空间与中世纪的视觉空间相比较,以考虑神秘主义者在他们的视觉中会去哪里。这一章的方法论对于中世纪学者来说将会很有趣,因为他们主要关注的是早已消失的研究课题,因为Spencer-Hall采访了虚拟平台“第二人生”的基督徒成员。在这个平台上,用户登录到一个虚拟现实,在这个虚拟现实中,他们的化身与不同地理空间和时区的其他人联系。同样,中世纪的神秘主义者在他们的异象中进入圣徒的交流,与来自不同时代的圣经人物以及永恒的神互动。在一个特别有趣的例子中,斯帕尔贝克的伊丽莎白和里尔的玛丽在他们的神秘经历中相遇,尽管他们在地理上是分开的。斯宾塞-霍尔的书是中世纪圣徒传记和现代媒介理论令人印象深刻的结合。研究神秘体验的学者将对它特别感兴趣,因为它提供了通过时间、空间、视觉和狂喜体验的功能进行思考的创新方式。那些用女权主义方法研究中世纪的人也会在这本书中找到很大的用处,特别是通过斯宾塞-霍尔对主体/客体区分的细致入微的方法,以及她对调解问题的重新配置。最后,这本书将吸引大学生读者。它的全面介绍清楚地解释了理论,并提供了开始的历史(不令人满意的命名),它是由指导子章节组成的,它是开放的。最重要的是,斯宾塞-霍尔出色的名人对比为本科生展示中世纪圣徒传记的奇妙世界提供了绝佳的吸引力。

Scripture and Love Entangled: Ibn ʿArabī's Reinterpretation of the Qurʾān in Light of Love 圣经与爱纠缠:伊本·阿在爱的光下重新解读《古兰经》

abstract:Various works have studied the place of love in Ibn ʿArabī's (560/1165–638/1240) mystical project. This article contributes to the existing literature by focusing on one particular aspect of this project: how Ibn ʿArabī reworks and reinterprets the Qurʾān in his exposition of the doctrine of love. Focusing mainly on the Qurʾānic verses, which, at face value, do not appear to be connected to the notion of love, the article explicates the processes through which these verses are reworked by Ibn ʿArabī in a manner that reveals their bearings on the doctrine of love. Through showcasing how Ibn ʿArabī redirects individual verses to extract their relevance to the idea of love, the article integrates Qurʾānic hermeneutics with Ibn ʿArabī's philosophy of love.
摘要:各种作品都研究了伊本·阿(560/1165–638/1240)的神秘计划中的爱的位置。这篇文章通过关注这个项目的一个特定方面对现有文献做出了贡献:伊本·阿拉比在阐述爱的教义时如何改写和重新解释《古兰经》。文章主要关注《古兰经》中的诗句,从表面上看,这些诗句似乎与爱的概念无关,文章阐述了伊本·阿拉比对这些诗句进行改写的过程,揭示了它们对爱的教义的影响。通过展示伊本·阿如何重新引导个人诗歌,以提取它们与爱的概念的相关性,文章将《古兰经》解释学与伊本·阿拉伯的爱哲学相结合。

abstract:Agnes Blannbekin's description of her mystical experience on Easter morning, 1293, is a rare medieval account not only of the affective consequences of a spatial transgression in a church building but also of its direct implication in a spiritual revelation. According to her Life and Revelations, she heard a command to conceal herself behind an altar in the church of St. Michael, Vienna, where she would feel the pain of the Crucifixion. Her anguish at being so out of place in the church drove her to pray for her revelation to end and to be given the strength to leave. She provides, thus, a rare first-person account of how the gendered regulation of church space, so often in evidence in sources written by men, was manifested in an embodied, affective experience. The incident develops themes that extend across the Life, especially to other Easter-time revelations, and demonstrates the close attention Blannbekin often gave to architectural organization and ornamentation. This article describes how her account drew together associations that stretched across liturgical time, architectural setting, and literary precedent in order to evoke the profundity, and significance, of her bodily identification with the Passion.
摘要:Agnes Blannbekin描述了她在1293年复活节早晨的神秘经历,这是中世纪罕见的描述,不仅描述了教堂建筑中空间越轨的情感后果,而且还描述了它在精神启示中的直接含义。根据她的《生活与启示录》,她听到了一个命令,要把自己藏在维也纳圣迈克尔教堂的祭坛后面,在那里她会感受到十字架的痛苦。她因在教堂里如此格格不入而感到痛苦,这促使她祈祷自己的启示结束,并有力量离开。因此,她提供了一个罕见的第一人称叙述,讲述了对教堂空间的性别调节是如何在一种具体的情感体验中表现出来的,这种调节经常出现在男性撰写的资料中。这一事件发展了贯穿整个生命的主题,尤其是复活节期间的其他启示,并表明了布兰贝金经常对建筑组织和装饰的密切关注。这篇文章描述了她的叙述如何将跨越礼拜时间、建筑背景和文学先例的联想结合在一起,以唤起她对激情的身体认同的深刻性和意义。
