This article discusses two important representatives of the manuscript culture of the Devotio Moderna in the late medieval eastern Low Countries (c. 1500): a vernacular devout song manuscript (Berlin, Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin—Preussischer Kulturbesitz mgo 185) and a Middle Dutch rapiarium or collection of various short religious texts (Zwolle, Historisch Centrum Overijssel, Collectie Emmanuelshuizen 13). Both religious multi-text codices, the material similarities between both types of manuscripts have frequently been pointed out but were never studied in detail. These particular manuscripts, however, offer fertile grounds for such a comparison, since both were in part copied by the same—probably female—scribes. Examining the nature and extent of their efforts and collaborations, this article further develops questions and arguments raised in previous scholarship on the production processes of song manuscripts and rapiaria.
本文讨论了中世纪晚期东部低地国家（约1500年）的现代宗教手稿文化的两个重要代表：一个是本土虔诚的歌曲手稿（柏林，Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin——Preussischer Kulturbesitz mgo 185），另一个是荷兰中部的一个收藏馆或各种简短宗教文本的收藏馆（兹沃勒，Overijssel历史中心，Emmanuelshuizen收藏13）。这两部宗教多文本法典，两种手稿之间的材料相似性经常被指出，但从未被详细研究过。然而，这些特殊的手稿为这种比较提供了肥沃的土壤，因为两者在一定程度上都是由同一位——可能是女性——抄写员抄写的。通过考察他们的努力和合作的性质和程度，本文进一步发展了以往学术界对歌曲手稿和强奸曲制作过程提出的问题和争论。

This article analyses a peculiar misogynist sermon held in 1702 by an unknown, probably Franciscan preacher at the court of Friedrich August, alias August ‘der Starke’, prince-elector of Saxony (r. 1694–1733) and king of Poland (r. 1697–1704/6 & 1709–1733). This sermon, held in the year that Poland faced a Swedish military invasion, laments the many problems of the Polish king and the kingdom of Poland, and puts the blame squarely on the shoulders of the king’s mistresses. This article tries to recreate the immediate context in which this sermon can be situated, and provides an analysis of the argument of the preacher, also as a type of typical anti-feminine discourse in early modern Franciscan pastoral care. At the very end is included a transcript and draft translation of the sermon itself, based on its apparently only surviving text witness included in Ms. iurid. 39 of the Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Kassel.

From a diachronic perspective, and considering both textual and visual evidence, this article traces the relic cult of SS Gregory Nazianzen and John Chrysostom. It focuses on two historical contexts, hitherto not compared with each other, in which both the relics and the architectural frame in which they were placed acquired significant additional meaning and value: tenth-century Constantinople and sixteenth- century Rome. I will show how Emperor Constantine VII, in the Holy Apostles, and Pope Gregory XIII, in St. Peter’s, used the same relics as an instrument in a process of meaning-making, thereby asserting their own authority and prestige.

During the Protestant Reformation of the Churches in the Low Countries the sacrament of extreme unction and rituals surrounding burial were eliminated. The ever-present reality of illness and approaching death, however, kept demanding pastoral care and comfort for the dying. In the 1570s a text was published, Den Siecken Troost (Comfort for the Sick), which found its way into the Reformed books of liturgy. This article researches the author’s identity and itinerary, and also the publication history of his booklet. Although no ecclesiastical body seems to have consented to the inclusion in the liturgical book, its lasting presence until the twenty first century begs the question how the ‘Comfort for the Sick’ came to such prominence.

About 125 years ago, the question of whether a synod established the handed-down classical Reformed Liturgy, and if so, which one, was hotly debated. The answer to this question was important in determining which text should be considered authoritative in the church. It is now clear that the answer has only limited relevance. On the one hand, the text of the Liturgy has certainly been handed down in a broadly correct manner. On the other hand, there is a large number of variations, most of which, however, are of minor importance. The influence of church assemblies on all this is only one factor. This article, therefore, chooses to ask what factors influenced the shape of the Liturgy as it developed in the second half of the sixteenth and the first half of the seventeenth centuries. It names six factors in addition to the (both provincial and national) synods, namely the government, some prominent pastors, local church councils, printers, buyers’ tastes, and local practice.

This article centres on the emblem book Jesus en de Ziel, Een Geestelycke Spiegel voor ’t Gemoed, first published in Amsterdam in 1678, with texts and images composed by Jan Luyken. From the time of its first publication, the book was part of the literary devotional life of the Dutch Republic, undergoing numerous editions and reprints, at least until the final decades of the eighteenth century. Using the information provided by Book Sales Catalogues, the article explores different modes in which Jesus en de Ziel was consumed, paying attention to the material conditions under which the object was provided and acquired by the consumer. The emblem book, as a religious object, was constantly reconfigured and mobilized by their manufacturers, their providers, and by the consumers themselves. I argue that these patterns of consumption, elucidated by the catalogues, can make a fundamental contribution for historical and cultural research on religious practices.
本文以1678年在阿姆斯特丹首次出版的徽章书《Jesus en de Ziel，Een Geestelycke Spiegel voor’t Gemoed》为中心，其文本和图像由Jan Luyken创作。从第一次出版起，这本书就是荷兰共和国文学奉献生活的一部分，经历了无数次的版本和重印，至少直到18世纪的最后几十年。本文利用《图书销售目录》提供的信息，探讨了Jesus en de Ziel的不同消费模式，并关注了消费者提供和获得物品的物质条件。徽章书作为一种宗教物品，不断被制造商、供应商和消费者重新配置和动员。我认为，目录所阐明的这些消费模式可以为宗教实践的历史和文化研究做出根本贡献。
