abstract:Though the Irish became Christian in the fifth century and had helped spread Christianity throughout Britain and the Continent since the sixth, when England's Norman nobility set imperialist eyes upon Ireland in the twelfth century, the papacy pronounced the Irish fallen from the faith, otherizing them to justify their invasion. The imperialist colonialism that the English imposed on Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas, they imposed on their neighbors first, where physical characteristics couldn't provide as convenient an excuse; instead, they made religion the pretext for their racism, even though all involved were Catholics and the Irish had been since long before their colonizers' conversion.

abstract:Simon of Lipnica, who died in 1482, was counted among the blessed in 1685, has been a saint of the Catholic Church since 2007, and was a Franciscan Observant associated with the priory founded by Johannes of Capestrano in the suburb of Krakow, is one of the not fully recognized figures building the image of Polish religious culture. After his death, a "miracle office" was established in the Bernardine priory, where miraculous events through the intercession of Simon were recorded meticulously on an ongoing basis. In this way, the largest Polish late-medieval collection de miraculis was created. Drawing from the new critical edition, this article presents this monument not only in the context of the first years of Simon's "miracle office" but also in the context of the development of the miraculum as a literary genre.

abstract:Jean Gerson (1363–1429), theologian and chancellor of the University of Paris, is well known for his writings on the "discernment of spirits." Gerson's Sermon on Angels (1392), translated here, provides his earliest thoughts on judging the supernatural. In it, Gerson explains how angels instruct and demons seduce the cognitive faculties of men and women. The related challenges of authenticating true religious visions and exposing demonic or naturalistic fakes led Gerson to doubt some would-be visionaries and even question the role of visionary evidence in canonization trials. While these doubts are also articulated in his later, better-known treatises on discernment, he describes how he came to those conclusions here, in an exploration of the physiology of visions and demonic deception. Gerson's sermon highlights the delicate role that cognition plays in assessing supernatural experiences and helps to explain the criticisms of ascetic practices included in his later treatises on spiritual discernment.

In the Middle English romance The King of Tars, a Muslim sultan’s skin color famously transforms upon his conversion to Christianity. “His hide that blac and lothely was / Al white bicom thurth Godes gras.” Much has been written about the racial fantasy thus enacted within the poem, but in the contexts of this essay, I’m particularly struck not by the transformation itself but rather by its utility as a visual sign. For when the Sultan’s Christian wife beholds his new appearance, “wist sche wele in hir thought / on Mahoun leved he nought / For chaunged was his hewe.” In other words, the Sultan’s skin color becomes a semiotic display of the authenticity of his review essay
在中世纪的英国浪漫小说《焦油之王》中，一位穆斯林苏丹的肤色在皈依基督教后发生了著名的变化。“他那厚颜无耻的伪装是/Al white bicom thurth Godes gras。”关于这首诗中由此产生的种族幻想，人们已经写了很多文章，但在这篇文章的背景下，我特别惊讶的不是这种转变本身，而是它作为一种视觉标志的实用性。因为当苏丹的基督教妻子看到他的新外表时，“在他的思想中/在马洪身上他什么都没有/因为chaunted是他的丈夫。”换句话说，苏丹的肤色成为了他评论文章真实性的符号展示

abstract:A unique fifteenth-century Middle English visionary account survives about a nun of Hampole Priory who saves the soul of her deceased brother. Scholars have long considered it an authentic narrative from Hampole Priory. Yet, near-identical texts in Dutch and German manuscripts suggest that it is a translation of a Continental source instead. My analysis shows that while the Continental versions were designed for female religious readers, the English version was adapted for a lay audience. I argue that Hampole Priory used the reworked narrative to promote its intercessory prayers among and attract donations from lay benefactors.

The aim of this article is to introduce an anonymous late fifteenth-century treatise of religious guidance, A Little Treatise Against Fleshly Affections. Presently edited for the first time from London, British Library, MS Royal 17 C xviii, this short Middle English treatise was devised as a tool of diagnosis, prevention, and cure for individuals troubled by feelings of inordinate carnal love. Alongside the text itself and formal editorial considerations, the present edition offers a discussion of the treatise’s textual relationship with David of Augsburg’s De exterioris et interioris hominis compositione and its potential origin and relation to Syon Abbey, as well as its intended audiences.
这篇文章的目的是介绍一篇匿名的15世纪末的宗教指导论文，《反对肉欲的小论文》。这篇短篇中古英语论文目前首次在伦敦大英图书馆编辑，MS Royal 17 C xvii，被设计为诊断、预防和治疗被过度肉欲困扰的个人的工具。除了文本本身和正式的编辑考虑外，本版还讨论了该论文与奥格斯堡的大卫的《人的外在与内在》的文本关系，以及其潜在的起源和与《西翁修道院》的关系，以及它的预期受众。
