abstract:The double monastery at Kildare, Ireland, developed from a confluence of holy sites and legends associated with St. Brigit into a major metropolitan center in the seventh century. One of the most interesting sources for this development's apex remains Cogitosus's Life of Saint Brigit, a collection of miracle stories immersed in the local landscape that reflect her community's interests. A reassessment of the last three chapters of his Life, in conjunction with surviving material evidence in the landscape, will emphasize the ways in which hagiographical boundaries shaped Kildare's development into a City of Refuge. It will argue that Cogitosus did not use ekphrasis, but delineated liminal boundaries functional to the dichotomies that Kildare was negotiating (male and female; lay and consecrated; community and pilgrims; Irish and Roman). Cogitosus's Life provides a lens through which to view Kildare's development into a major pilgrimage center.

abstract:Both Julian of Norwich and the author of The Cloud of Unknowing use the Middle English term semely to navigate moments of tension surrounding the ability of material signs to convey divine truth. The authors treat a variety of signs, some linguistic, some not, all of which require interpretation to be properly understood. The wide variety of such material signs is captured in the authors' use of the Middle English terms goostly and bodily to identify spiritual and material realities, but also figurative and literal meanings. Seemly signs are suitable, appropriate for the task of communicating spiritual truths. Ultimately, for Julian and the Cloud author, semely identifies a particular relationship between embodied, finite reality, and divine infinitude—while there is no ultimate analogy between these two realities such that material signs are necessary or sufficient to reveal spiritual truths, some material particularities are the "best possible" or "most fitting" way to communicate.

abstract:The influence of Meister Eckhart on European mystical culture is heavily debated. In recent scholarship there seems to be a growing resistance to recognize too easily Eckhart's mark on medieval mystical traditions outside Germany. This article will show how language and motives commonly associated with the work of Eckhart and his followers did leave its traces in Brabant mysticism, and especially in the work of the Groenendaal author Jan van Leeuwen, pupil of the famous Jan van Ruusbroec. Its findings suggest that controversial topics, e.g., the relation between the created and uncreated parts of the soul, the necessity of grace for salvation and the value of good works, were also for Brabant mysticism pivotal conundrums.
埃克哈特对欧洲神秘文化的影响一直备受争议。在最近的学术研究中，人们似乎越来越抗拒过于轻易地承认埃克哈特在德国以外中世纪神秘传统上的印记。这篇文章将展示与埃克哈特及其追随者的作品相关的语言和动机是如何在布拉班特神秘主义中留下痕迹的，尤其是在Groenendaal作家Jan van Leeuwen的作品中，他是著名的Jan van Ruusbroec的学生。研究结果表明，有争议的话题，如灵魂的创造部分和非创造部分之间的关系、救赎的必要性和优秀作品的价值，也是布拉班特神秘主义的关键难题。

T. Stevens
abstract:This article argues that Richard of St. Victor's The Four Degrees of Violent Love makes use of the literary and medical concept of lovesickness in order to create a Christian spirituality that conceives of love in new ways. This article traces Richard's translation of lovesickness from the literary and medical to the theological, in order to reveal the effects on those wounded by the love of God. By uniting violent love with lovesickness, Richard opens lovesickness to Christian meaning and interpretation, placing it at the center of an individual's journey to God, and transforms lovesickness by associating it with the wound and with violence more broadly.
