▼ This dissertation argues that Margaret Porete's fourteenth century <i> Mirror of Simple and Annihilated Souls</i> challenges both our understanding of medieval forms of subjectivity and inwardness and marks the horizons of contemporary means available for conceptualizing subjectivity and agency. Chapter one shows how the <i>Mirror</i> disrupts the paradigms contemporary scholars use to study medieval women's texts. Whereas much of the scholarship on female mysticism privileges the corporeal, the <i> Mirror</i> explicitly rejects the body as the locus of religious experience. By examining its assumptions about the relationship between the reader and text, I show that the <i>Mirror</i> should be understood not as a marginal text without general significance, but rather as an intervention into our understanding of contemporary accounts of fundamental medieval discourses on religious practices. In particular, I focus on a set of issues related to the categorization of evidence and its relation to our assumptions about how language functions. I introduce the term <i>reading practices</i> as a theoretical means of shifting emphasis from the author's intentions to the reader's experience of reading. In chapter two, I place the <i>Mirror </i> within the context of orthodox Christian culture and show the centrality of allegory to medieval reading practices. I concentrate on the <i>Mirror </i>'s manipulation of allegory, comparing its use of the genre to other medieval works by Augustine and Bernard of Clairvaux, and argue that it creates a set of reading practices that corresponds to a new form of subjectivity. In chapter three, I turn to the problem of how we, as contemporary readers with very different conceptions of reading and subjectivity, might understand a reader's desire to annihilate his or her will. In order to analyze the annihilated Soul as a form of subjectivity, I compare the <i>Mirror </i>'s reading practices with a set of theoretical discourses grouped together under the rubric of psychoanalysis. While psychoanalytic discourse provides a language with which to talk about the dissolution of the will, in chapter four I address the limitations of using psychoanalysis to interpret the form of subjectivity and agency represented by the annihilated Soul by historicizing both psychoanalysis and its conception of agency.

This dissertation examines the place of desire in Bonaventure's anthropology and mysticism as a corrective to studies that restrict its scope to the desire for contemplation or as an affection based solely on the absence of the desired object. It contends that Bonaventure incorporates desire as lack with desire as an expression of plenitude. On the basis of his doctrine of analogy and of his theology of the image of God in the soul, Bonaventure embraces desire as a sign of the human being's orientation toward the good and of its vocation to happiness. He seeks to harness desire as a means of drawing the soul, with the assistance of grace and charity, into union with God, which can be experienced partially in this life through affective and ecstatic contemplation.Setting a broad context for interpreting Bonaventure's theology of desire, the first part examines the prevalence of desire in contemporary philosophy and theology. While post-modern philosophy makes use of desire to fracture the unity of the modern subject, contemporary theology retrieves the category of desire in order to overcome an extrinsic conception of nature and grace. This first part also surveys the conceptualization of desire in Bonaventure's sources and examines how scholars have articulated Bonaventure's theology of desire.The second part identifies and classifies the vocabulary of desire scattered throughout Bonaventure's writings and considers the various subjects and objects to which he ascribes desire. It explores the ontological, anthropological, and mystical dimensions of desire.The third part addresses questions relating to the role of desire in human experience and argues that, on the basis of Bonaventure's use of convenientia, the fullness of desire and its ultimate foundation can be found in the supremely self-diffusive love of the Trinitarianpersons. A close reading of The Soliloquium shows how this little-known treatise charts a pilgrimage of desire by which the soul can be transformed into the image of the One it loves and by which it begins to experience a foretaste of the life of heaven. The final chapter considers the figure of Saint Francis, who is the true vir desideriorum.

This dissertation considers the trinitarian mystical theology of the late-medieval mystical theologian Jan van Ruusbroec and how his trinitarian thought forms and animates his written spiritual direction. It particularly examines the relationship between Ruusbroec’s trinitarian mystical theology and his post-Brussels written spiritual direction, which offers guidance to specific communities and persons in their pursuit of union with God through the life of prayer, worship, and service. In order to render a coherent account of this relationship and its primary characteristics, the work argues that one must read Ruusbroec as a mystical theologian. As a mystical theologian, Ruusbroec’s thought displays the natural integrity of theology and spirituality, as assumed by the majority of the theological masters of the Christian tradition, from its origins to the High Middle Ages. After dealing with the biographical details of Ruusbroec’s life and historical, cultural, and theological contexts, the study makes a foray into the works of Ruusbroec to show the primary characteristics of the Brabantine’s trinitarian mystical theology, the core of which is his teaching of essential love, the perfect, eternal simultaneity and harmony of activity and rest of the life of the Trinity. The study then goes on to offer interpretations of three of Ruusbroec’s most important writings of spiritual direction from his post-Brussels period. It shows that the Augustinian canon’s written spiritual direction in these writings is intricately shaped by his trinitarian mystical theology. His spiritual direction is, so to speak, harmonically related to the “firm melody” that is his trinitarian mystical theology. Finally, the study offers some possible paths forward for future research, based upon what the dissertation has found. The purpose of this work is to make a contribution to Ruusbroec scholarship that continues to illumine the shape, scope and beauty of his mystical theology as well as to contribute to the broader theological scholarship that has been, over the past five to eight decades, bringing to light the integrity of “spirituality” and “theology” within the Christian tradition.

▼ Building from the premise that hagiographical texts provide important literary accounts of affective religious experiences in the medieval centuries, this dissertation examines the nine homiletic saints’ lives in the fifteenth-century Book of Lismore. Specifically, the focus is on representations of the Eucharist, the axiomatic sacrament of Latin Christendom in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and how writers of and audiences for these Middle Irish texts perceived, or were intended to apprehend, the role of Communion in constructing and affirming their Christian identities. Throughout this work attention is drawn to parallels with and divergences from European Eucharistic orthodoxy and orthopraxy in the period contemporary with the texts’ composition. This dissertation is divided into six chapters: the first two offer important historical, literary and theological context for the texts which are the foundation of this enquiry, together with new insights into the scholarly profit to be derived from including vernacular hagiography in the corpus of texts mobilised in the study of theological developments of this period; the next three chapters examine specific dimensions of Christian identity - clerical, gender and lay; the sixth and concluding chapter synthesises the analysis of the foregoing sections. Chapter I outlines the significance of the Eucharist in medieval religious life and its relationship to the reform impetuses of the long twelfth-century. The categorisation of the nine Lismore Lives as homilies is not uncontested and this work offers a comprehensive defence of that classification by reference to the extant corpus of Irish homiletic literature and internal structural and stylistic features of the core texts. A section of the chapter addresses questions of dating and advances arguments that situate seven of the nine texts broadly within the period 1050–1200, by amalgamating and augmenting existing research undertaken on individual saints’ Lives. In Chapter II, the focus is on both the literary and linguistic content of a number of contemporary homiletic and theological tracts and how these relate both to contemporaneous European debates on the Real Presence and the long tradition of Irish exegesis and religious speculation. Particular attention is paid to texts, and episodes within texts, from a diverse range of genres, that have not previously been adduced in discussions of Irish Eucharistic doxa and praxis. The final portion of II provides an overview of the origins and development of a select portion of the vernacular vocabulary of the Eucharist and the theological implications of those semantic choices. Chapters III–V investigate three of the most significant medieval identity markers, as they intersect with corporate Christian identities. Chapter III provides a thorough-going overview of the clerical identities constructed for the male Lismore saints and attempts to differentiate the role of the Eucharist in the emergent episcopal identities of this period. Attention is also given to the…

▼ This thesis argues that the Confessio Amantis is a study in the inadequacy of language and its constructs. It asserts that, like his fourteenth-century contemporary authors, Gower explores the mutable condition of language, the ambiguity of the sign, and the difficulties surrounding interpretation. This thesis is shaped by a combination of two things ? ground-breaking new biographical evidence and a radical reassessment of the intellectual and philosophical framework of the Confessio Amantis. I have discovered a heretofore unknown life-record in the archives that centrally places Gower in the murky and unstable world of medieval diplomacy. My research, first and foremost, builds on this transformative archival discovery and, therefore, my original contention is that Gower?s poetics is personally informed by this experiential engagement in the linguistically unreliable world of diplomacy and negotiations. My second key innovation is to examine the Confessio and Gower?s understanding of language through the lens of Augustinian sign theory. There has been no critical application of Augustinian thought to Gower?s Confessio Amantis, or his poetics in general. I offer an in-depth study of Augustine?s semiotic hermeneutics evident throughout almost all his works. From this, I conclude that Gower, like Augustine, evinces a deep suspicion of the ability of the external sign (verbal, textual, visual, and aural) to signify reality and truth adequately. To show this, I offer a new analysis of Gower?s section on ?Rhetoric? and the verbal sign in Book VII; his segment, in Book IV, on the history of the founders of written language, arts, and civilization; his protracted passage on the golden age lost art of alchemy also occurring in Book IV; and a study of the frame of the poem where I demonstrate that Gower, like Augustine, privileges the non-verbal and the poem?s denouement consciously guides the reader to reject the external entirely and, instead, turn inward toward the self to embrace the inner silence of truth.

Specifically, the focus is on representations of the Eucharist, the axiomatic sacrament of Latin Christendom in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and how writers of and audiences for these Middle Irish texts perceived, or were intended to apprehend, the role of Communion in constructing and affirming their Christian identities. Throughout this work attention is drawn to parallels with and divergences from European Eucharistic orthodoxy and orthopraxy in the period contemporary with the texts' composition. This dissertation is divided into six chapters: the first two offer important historical, literary and theological context for the texts which are the foundation of this enquiry, together with new insights into the scholarly profit to be derived from including vernacular hagiography in the corpus of texts mobilised in the study of theological developments of this period; the next three chapters examine specific dimensions of Christian identity - clerical, gender and lay; the sixth and concluding chapter synthesises the analysis of the foregoing sections. Chapter I outlines the significance of the Eucharist in medieval religious life and its relationship to the reform impetuses of the long twelfth-century. The categorisation of the nine Lismore Lives as homilies is not uncontested and this work offers a comprehensive defence of that classification by reference to the extant corpus of Irish homiletic literature and internal structural and stylistic features of the core texts. A section of the chapter addresses questions of dating and advances arguments that situate seven of the nine texts broadly within the period 1050-1200, by amalgamating and augmenting existing research undertaken on individual saints' Lives. In Chapter II, the focus is on both the literary and linguistic content of a number of contemporary homiletic and theological tracts and how these relate both to contemporaneous European debates on the Real Presence and the long tradition of Irish exegesis and religious speculation. Particular attention is paid to texts, and episodes within texts, from a diverse range of genres, that have not previously been adduced in discussions of Irish Eucharistic doxa and praxis. The final portion of II provides an overview of the origins and development of a select portion of the vernacular vocabulary of the Eucharist and the theological implications of those semantic choices. Chapters III-V investigate three of the most significant medieval identity markers, as they intersect with corporate Christian identities. Chapter III provides a thorough-going overview of the clerical identities constructed for the male Lismore saints and attempts to differentiate the role of the Eucharist in the emergent episcopal identities of this period. Attention is also given to the…

O período presente entre o começo do século XIV e ano de 1418 é indispensável para a compreensão do cenário religioso-político medieval e para a compreensão das bases do mesmo pensamento na Idade Moderna. Neste período temos a mudança da sede da Igreja Católica de Roma pra Avignon, o retorno da mesma para Roma, a divisão da Igreja em dois grupos, cada um liderado por um papa, o Cisma do Ocidente, cisma esse que dura por décadas. Temos a ampliação do pensamento herético, a conversa entre grupos heterodoxos, e tentativas de conciliação que nem sempre eram absolutas e levavam até mesmo a renúncia do cargo pontifical. Neste período viveu John Wycliffe, professor de teologia em Oxford, tendo produzido uma série de obras em latim e outra ainda maior em inglês. Divulgando seus ideias para o povo e criando seu próprio grupo, os Lolardos. Esse pensador, dialogando com os grandes pensadores católicos e revendo pensamentos de outras heresias anteriores, cria a premissa da impossibilidade de uma igreja que fosse ao mesmo tempo autenticamente cristã e institucionalizada ou poderosa, em sua obra The Wicket. Através de uma argumentação racional e humanista, Wycliffe formulou, de certa forma, a base para a reforma protestante, ao mesmo tempo que precisou ser descartado pela mesma, após seu crescimento nos círculos de poder e institucionalização. A melhor compreensão deste peculiar autor e de sua obra permite não somente compreender melhor o mundo da baixa Idade Média, suas disputas religiosas e políticas, como também aprofundar o conhecimento sobre as bases do pensamento moderno. Além de lançar bases para a própria problematização da estrutura do poder religioso em si, seja ele católico ou não.

The Late Middle Ages, specially the period between 1305 and 1418 is indispensable to understand the political an religious though not only of the medieval people, but for the comprehension of the modern ages. In this small period of time much religious turbulence took place in Western Europe. The capital of the Catholic Church moved to Avignon and then returned to Roma, the Church slipt in two different factions in the Great Western Schism and each group was leaded by a different pope, both of them considering themselves as the sumo pontifce and the only true connection between God and men in earth. The Schism lasts for decades and each pope define the other as the antichrist. In this period the heretical though grown up and the attempts of reconciliations of the groups not always become effective, in matter of fact once even a pope renounced his post. John Wycliffe, professor of Theology in Oxford University, lived in this time. He produced a great number of papers in Latin and a even more great number of papers in middle English. His ideas continued with his followers the Lollards. This great thinker created important dialogues with the other heretical thinkers, being one of the most important pre-reformist theologian and creating the bases of the protestant reform. But the also created the idea that the true Christian church would never…

▼ This thesis examines the relationship between Western eschatological traditions and Bishop Burchard of Worms' extended exegesis on the subject of ‘speculative theology’ within Decretum, Liber Vicesimus (c. 1012-1025). Its purpose is to explore the influence of eschatological theology upon the composition of canon law and its relationship with the administration of pastoral care in the early eleventh century. This will be achieved by investigating the authorities Burchard employed, and the unique ways in which he structured his interpretation of the subject. Chapter one reviews the scholarship on early medieval eschatological exegesis, canon law, and penance, alongside that on Burchard of Worms. Chapter two provides an overview of the history of early medieval western eschatological exegesis (c. 33-1050) and the general conditions that contemporary ecclesiastics would have experienced in relation to the study and construction of eschatological texts. Chapter three considers the historical context for the composition of the Decretum and the manuscript traditions of the Liber Vicesimus. Chapters four, five, and six, extensively analyse the structures and contents of the Liber Vicesimus: Burchard and his team of compilers are shown to have drawn extensively and developed their interpretation of eschatology from Gregory the Greats’ exegetical works, as well as identifying other unique influences. Consequently the thesis demonstrates how Gregory’s exegetical works played a central role in building the textual foundations which shaped the theological parameters governing the eschatological thoughts, beliefs, and writings, of many ecclesiastics during this period. The thesis concludes that Gregory’s work provided churchmen with an authoritative moral framework and rhetoric for the discussion of eschatological phenomena that could be utilised in a variety of ways. It also suggests new ways in which historians should interpret the written traditions that shaped the structure and content of orthodox eschatological texts in this period.

Omnium Artifex Docuit Me Sapientia: A Study of Bonaventure's Inaugural SermonCatherine A. Levri, Ph.D.Director: Joshua C. Benson, Ph.D.In the medieval university, the inaugural exercises in which a student became a master of theology were marked by several events, including a two-part sermon delivered by the new master. These inaugural sermons have recently received focused attention. Roughly twenty inaugural sermons have now been published, and historical knowledge of the genre continues to grow. One newly discovered inaugural sermon is Omnium artifex docuit me sapientia, delivered by Saint Bonaventure (1221-1274) at the University of Paris in 1254. In two parts known as the commendation and resumption, the sermon studies the nature of Scripture according to Aristotle's four causes and divides and returns the canon of the arts to God through the three spiritual senses of Scripture. This dissertation aims to provide a theological study of the unity of the two parts of Omnium artifex. Although the two parts became separated at some point in their history, the sermon is unified in structure and content. Structurally, the sermon as a whole and each part are organized by the ortus-modus-fructus pattern that Bonaventure often employs in his texts. Not only are the two parts united by structure, but also the work of the resumption assumes the theology of the commendation. The commendation presents Scripture as participating in Christ's mediation. On this basis, the resumption uses Scripture as a medium, that is, the middle term by and through which one entity is brought to another, to return the sciences to God. This reduction shows that even the secular sciences really contain the theological truths given in the three spiritual senses of Scripture. A comparison of Bonaventure's inaugural sermon with four other texts, the proemium to his Sentences commentary, the prologue to the Breviloquium, the sermon Unus est magister noster Christus and one of his last works, his Collationes in Hexaëmeron, demonstrates that while his view of Scripture is generally consistent throughout his corpus, his inaugural sermon is significant in that it allows Scripture as medium to eclipse Christ as medium in order to emphasize Scripture's importance and participation in Christ's mediation.

▼ At the center of all medieval Christian accounts of both metaphysics and ethics stands the claim that being and goodness are necessarily connected, and that grasping the nature of this connection is fundamental to explaining the nature of goodness itself. In that vein, medievals offered two distinct ways of conceiving this necessary connection: the nature approach and the creation approach. The nature approach explains the goodness of an entity by an appeal to the entity’s nature as the type of thing it is, and the extent to which it fulfills or perfects the potentialities in its nature. In contrast, the creation approach explains both the being and goodness of an entity by an appeal to God’s creative activity: on this view, both a thing’s being and its goodness are derived from, and explained in terms of, God’s being and goodness. Studies on being and goodness in medieval philosophy often culminate in the synthesizing work of Thomas Aquinas, the leading Dominican theologian at Paris in the 13th century, who brought together these two rival theories about the nature of goodness. Unfortunately, few have paid attention to a distinctively Franciscan approach to the topic around this same time period. My dissertation provides a remedy to this oversight by means of a thorough examination of John Duns Scotus’s approach to being and goodness—an approach that takes into account the shifting tide toward voluntarism (both ethical and theological) at the University of Paris in the late 13th century. I argue that Scotus is also a synthesizer of sorts, harmonizing the two distinct nature approaches of Augustine and Aristotle with his own unique ideas in ways that have profound implications for the future of medieval ethical theorizing, most notably, in his rejection of both the natural law and ethical eudaimonism of Thomas Aquinas. After the introduction, I analyze the nature of primary goodness—the goodness that Scotus thinks is convertible with being and thus a transcendental attribute of everything that exists. There, I compare the notion of convertibility of being and goodness among Scotus and his contemporaries. While Scotus agrees with the mainstream tradition that being and goodness are necessarily coextensive properties of everything that exists, he argues that being and good are formally rather than conceptually distinct. I argue that when the referents of being and good are considered, both views amount to the same thing. But when the concepts of being and good are considered, positing a formal distinction does make a good deal of difference: good does not simply add something to being conceptually, but formally: it is a quasi-attribute of being that exists in the world independently of our conception of it. Thus Scotus’s formal distinction provides a novel justification for the necessary connection between being and goodness. Furthermore, I argue that Scotus holds an Augustinian hierarchy of being. This hierarchical ranking of being is based upon the magnitude or perfection of the thing’s nature. But since goodness is…

▼ This dissertation examines the hagiographical corpus of the Dominican preacher Thomas of Cantimpré (c. 1201–1270), a critical early respondent to the burgeoning women’s religious movement in the Southern Low Countries. Writing at a time when both lay and religious spirituality were being radically refigured in light of new organizational structures and devotional practices, Thomas’s hagiographical corpus reflects the diversity of vocational possibilities available for women and men in this period at a time of great religious experimentation and innovation. Using historical, literary, and theological methods, the dissertation examines the ways in which Thomas’s vitae struggle with the question of how lay and religious, male and female readers might, in Thomas’s words, “take up” the different kinds of figures Thomas offers as models for practice and objects of devotion. Each of the vitae offer unique solutions to this question even as they represent different sorts of persons as exemplary. An important assumption governing the dissertation is that hagiography is a vital part of the spiritual and theological tradition of Christianity. Thomas’s vitae, I argue, attempt to articulate a theology of exemplarity in order to address the issue of what constitutes sanctity, who can become a saint, and by what means sanctity is attained. For Thomas, exemplarity is animated by theological notions of incarnation and scriptural revelation. Christ, as manifest in his life and in the words of scripture, is the great exemplum for embodied lives. For each of Thomas’s saints, Christ is both the singular figure who saves and the one in whom the saint participates, raising the question of how the individual human being embodies and exemplifies Christ’s singularity. Thomas’s Lives will be shown, in the course of their narratives, to illumine the tension between the singularity of Christ and its repetition in the saintly figures represented in the vitae and the readers of those vitae. Exploration of this tension reveals great richness in Thomas’s works, showing that Thomas’s narrative voice often speaks doubly within a single vita, thematizing the limits and possibilities of exemplarity and its hagiographical representation.

Degree awarded: Ph.D. Systematic Theology. The Catholic University of America

Does beauty have an inherent association with the divine? If so, what sort of impact does such a claim have upon the field of contemporary `theological aesthetics'? The present study addresses these questions by investigating the historical, philosophical and theological dimensions of beauty insofar as it is conceived as a divine name. It is a conception that first appears in the thought of the fifth century figure Dionysius the Areopagite. Dionysius's thinking on beauty achieves widespread influence throughout the Middle Ages demonstrated by the numerous commentaries written on his treatises. This dissertation examines Dionysius's doctrine on beauty found in his celebrated treatise On the Divine Names along with the commentary put forth by Thomas Aquinas. The argument advanced in this study is that the Dionysian-Thomistic approach to beauty, an approach that is foundational for the origins of the Western understanding of beauty, reveals that beauty is inherently and therefore indispensably associated with the divine. In Dionysius, the association between beauty and the divine that long gestates in the womb of Western thought explicitly enters the Christian theological tradition when it is appropriated to the status of a divine name. Dionysius's doctrine of beauty exercises extraordinary influence on Thomas's understanding of beauty, which shapes his understanding of God in significant ways. More broadly, the Dionysian-Thomistic view of beauty as a divine name crystallizes in unique ways a more general understanding of beauty's inherent association with the divine. Contemporary theology, in the last fifty years or so, has rediscovered the fundamental inspiration that beauty provides to its intentions. Even a brief glance at the publications reveals a notable surge of work being done in what is now called `theological aesthetics.' However, this rediscovery of beauty is beset with difficulties concerning not only the place and role of beauty, but the very question as to what beauty is. It is a primary goal of this study to demonstrate the importance that a Dionysian-Thomistic configuration of beauty has for theological aesthetics, not only with respect to the past but also with respect to the field's future direction.

Geoffrey of Auxerre, also known as Geoffrey of Clairvaux and Gaufridus Autissiodorensis, had extensive interactions with many of the most important personages of his age. Most significantly, as a youth he studied under Peter Abelard in Paris, then became a Cistercian and eventually the main protégé and successor to Bernard of Clairvaux. Decades later, in his own old age, Geoffrey undertook the task of completing Bernard’s beloved, unfinished work, the Sermones super Cantica Canticorum. Geoffrey’s resulting masterwork, his Expositio in Cantica Canticorum, is almost completely unstudied.This dissertation unfolds in four chapters. The first presents a portrait of available scholarship about the theology of Bernard, Geoffrey, and the Cistercians generally. It notes in particular several related strains of thought in which scholars treat representatives of “monastic theology” like Bernard and Geoffrey as methodologically indifferent or opposed to contemporary representatives of “scholastic theology” like Abelard and Peter Lombard. The second chapter introduces Geoffrey’s text by studying its relation to Bernard’s relevant writings. It finds that Geoffrey is both extremely loyal to Bernard’s textual legacy and, at the same time, notably prepared to innovate on it. The third chapter turns specifically to the Expositio’s theological positions. It finds that they reflect a very high level of education, one that includes a technical knowledge of traditional philosophy and theology along with sensitivity to twelfth-century theological debates over, for example, original sin and moral agency. Geoffrey’s Mariology is astonishingly robust, even anticipating the dogmas of Mary’s Immaculate Conception and bodily Assumption. The dissertation’s fourth chapter turns to Geoffrey’s relationship with contemporary scholasticism in his later years, finding that a number of the stylistic innovations in his Expositio reflect a significant influence coming from the (recently-discovered) Parisian Biblical lectures of Peter Lombard and Stephen Langton.Geoffrey of Auxerre was thoroughly Cistercian and monastic. He was also constructively engaged, from his youth to his retirement, in the theological developments occurring in scholastic Paris. This dissertation’s discoveries about his influences and innovations suggest a need to reevaluate widespread narratives about twelfth-century theology that revolve around a supposed mutual alienation between monastery and school.

Degree awarded: Ph.D. Systematic Theology. The Catholic University of America

Does beauty have an inherent association with the divine? If so, what sort of impact does such a claim have upon the field of contemporary `theological aesthetics'? The present study addresses these questions by investigating the historical, philosophical and theological dimensions of beauty insofar as it is conceived as a divine name. It is a conception that first appears in the thought of the fifth century figure Dionysius the Areopagite. Dionysius's thinking on beauty achieves widespread influence throughout the Middle Ages demonstrated by the numerous commentaries written on his treatises. This dissertation examines Dionysius's doctrine on beauty found in his celebrated treatise On the Divine Names along with the commentary put forth by Thomas Aquinas. The argument advanced in this study is that the Dionysian-Thomistic approach to beauty, an approach that is foundational for the origins of the Western understanding of beauty, reveals that beauty is inherently and therefore indispensably associated with the divine. In Dionysius, the association between beauty and the divine that long gestates in the womb of Western thought explicitly enters the Christian theological tradition when it is appropriated to the status of a divine name. Dionysius's doctrine of beauty exercises extraordinary influence on Thomas's understanding of beauty, which shapes his understanding of God in significant ways. More broadly, the Dionysian-Thomistic view of beauty as a divine name crystallizes in unique ways a more general understanding of beauty's inherent association with the divine. Contemporary theology, in the last fifty years or so, has rediscovered the fundamental inspiration that beauty provides to its intentions. Even a brief glance at the publications reveals a notable surge of work being done in what is now called `theological aesthetics.' However, this rediscovery of beauty is beset with difficulties concerning not only the place and role of beauty, but the very question as to what beauty is. It is a primary goal of this study to demonstrate the importance that a Dionysian-Thomistic configuration of beauty has for theological aesthetics, not only with respect to the past but also with respect to the field's future direction.

▼ This thesis examines the dissemination of visions of the otherworld in the long thirteenth century (c.1150-1321) by analysing the work of one enthusiast for such visions, Helinand of Froidmont, and studying the later transmission of three, contrasting accounts: the vision of the monk of Eynsham (c.1196), the vision of St. Fursa (c.656) and the vision of Gunthelm (s.xiiex). It relies on a close reading and comparison of different versions of these visions as they appear in exempla collections, religious miscellanies, history chronicles and sermons. In considering the process of redaction, it corrects two imbalances in the recent scholarship: a focus on searching for, then discussing ‘authorial’ versions of the narratives and a tendency among students of literature to treat visions of the otherworld as an independent sub-genre, prefiguring Dante’s later masterpiece. Instead, by looking at the different responses of a number of authors and compilers to visions of the otherworld, this thesis shows how they interacted with other elements of religious culture. On one hand it reveals how all medieval editors altered the narratives that they inherited to fit the needs and rules of genre. These rules had an important influence on how visions were spread and received by different audiences. On the other, it explains how individual authors demonstrated personal or communal theological and political motivation for altering visions. In doing so, it notes a divergence in the way that older monastic communities and travelling preachers responded to the stories. By explaining these variations, this study uncovers a range of complex reactions to trends in thirteenth-century eschatology (particularly the development of the doctrine of Purgatory) and how they interacted with wider religious concerns such as pastoral care. Finally, it shows how an examination of the pattern of a vision’s dissemination can lead to a re-consideration of the earlier texts themselves and the religious milieu from which they emerged.

▼

This thesis traces the twelfth-century origins and development of the Glossa ordinaria on Genesis from the evidence of sixteen early manuscripts, focusing on the creation narrative (Genesis 1-3). The Glossa ordinaria on the Bible, a product of the twelfth-century School of Laon, was one of the most influential texts of the High Middle Ages. The Glossa on the creation narrative compiled excerpts from Genesis commentaries and Hexameral literature, explaining the scriptural basis for doctrines such as the creation of the world ex nihilo and Original Sin, and exploring the relationship between the Genesis account, Plato's Timaeus, and Aristotelian natural philosophy. The first chapter observes the manuscripts for themselves: it describes their physical characteristics and argues that the textual development of the Glossa ordinaria on Genesis depended upon mid-twelfth-century innovations in formatting and layout. The second and third chapters study the history of the two distinct versions of the text. The second chapter compares the earlier version – the Glossa primitiva – to an anonymous Genesis commentary found in London, Lambeth Palace Library, 349, and argues that the two commentaries are built on a shared source, likely a lecture aid used in a classroom. The third chapter studies the relationship between the Glossa primitiva and the later Glossa ordinaria, arguing that they represent two stages in a process by which classroom notes were transformed into an encyclopedic reference. The fourth chapter focuses on the content of the texts: it looks at the exegetical principles and theological questions treated in the Glossa ordinaria to show that its compilers read the creation account with a hermeneutic that challenges a simplistic division between literal and allegorical readings. It concludes by observing that this, combined with the narrative structure of the gloss format, gave twelfth-century exegetes more scope for cosmological inquiry than did other contemporary genres, such as sentence collections. The thesis is supported by two appendices: one containing manuscript descriptions, the second a transcription of the Glossa ordinaria on Genesis 1-3.

▼ This dissertation traces the long, winding, and problematic road along which marriage became a sacrament of the Church. In so doing, it identifies several key problems with marriage’s ability to fulfill the sacramental criteria laid out in Peter Lombard’s Sentences: that a sacrament must signify a specific form of divine grace, and that it must directly bring about the grace that it signifies. While, on the basis of Ephesians 5, theologians had no problem identifying the symbolic power of marriage with the spiritual union of Christ and the Church, they never fully succeeded in locating a form of effective grace, placing immense stress upon marriage’s status as a signifier. As a result, theologians and canonists found themselves unable to deal with several social aspects of marriage that threatened this symbolic capacity, namely concubinage and the remarriage of widows and widowers. For, just as concubinage possessed the dangerous ability to signify the one-to-one unity of Christ and the Church (and the pressure for exact symbolic conformity prevented theologians from imposing a formal marriage ceremony distinguishing the two), second marriages threatened to off-set the sacrament’s precarious numeric balance, wherein Christ and his heavenly bride are forever joined as two unique but entirely unified entities. This dissertation also contends that awareness of these problems was embedded in the larger medieval discourse about matrimony, and can be detected in literary depictions of marriage, marriage-making, and quasi-marital situations. It thus explores attitudes towards marriage in several prevalent literary genres, with an eye towards how each genre handles the sacramental problems outlined above. While the these literary treatments are all perceptibly impacted by the lacunae within sacramental discourse, they each display this impact in specific ways, depending upon social context and wider generic features and customs. In highlighting this discursive interplay, this dissertation finally seeks to illuminate the sense in which what we think of as “marriage” is a highly constructed conceptual entity, the result of much conversation, contention, and invention.

▼ “Matter of Meekness: Reading Humility in Late Medieval England” argues for the surprising importance of an oft-ignored virtue in English literature of the late fourteenth century: humility or meekness (the two are synonymic in Middle English). Readers in modernity have fundamentally misunderstood the importance and role of humility in late medieval literature, and in doing so, have missed an essential mode of understanding medieval conceptions of personhood and community in such late medieval texts as The Showings of Julian of Norwich, Pearl, and Piers Plowman. For medieval writers and thinkers, to be human was to be created and limited. The practiced acknowledgment of one’s creatureliness, limitations, and sinfulness constituted the virtue of humility. This dissertation explores the role and importance of this epistemological humility in late medieval English texts. “Matter of Meekness” places these literary works in conversation with Augustinian and Thomist theological traditions as well as contemporary, popular penitential and devotional materials aimed towards lay and clerical audiences. References to humility abound in the late medieval period: it appears in lists, gradations, particular vocabularies, and in many instructional examples. Like the writers of these manuals, the writers of my study understood their works as vehicles for the transformation of their readers. By retrieving and re-examining robust medieval conceptions of humility, we can understand the way that works such as the anonymous Pearl, William Langland’s Piers Plowman, and the Showings of Julian of Norwich draw from and innovatively transform these traditional didactic discourses of moral and spiritual learning in late medieval England in order to not just urge submission to God, but to reform the contemporary church, theologically intervene in penitential traditions of sin and self-knowledge, or penetratingly and theologically explore the ways that memory and habits can be reformed into practices of virtue. The introduction explores the differences between medieval conceptions of humility and modern definitions of humility, arguing that the way we read medieval texts and their depictions of humility and human limitation has been obscured by post-Enlightenment understandings of the virtue. The first chapter takes up the work of Julian of Norwich, showing how she draws on conventional medieval images of humility—Christ, Mary, motherhood, childhood, and servanthood—to probe the limits of institutionalized traditions of humility. I argue that Julian’s critically overlooked and innovative portrayal of the child reconsiders self-knowledge and human moral dependence. Chapter two argues that the anonymous, fourteenth-century alliterative poem, Pearl, is a meditation on the profound difficulty of learning within the contexts of grief and suffering. The poem’s form inculcates humble habits of reading wherein the reader participates in the main figure’s learning. In chapter three, I examine a series of allegorical figures who advocate for… Advisors/Committee Members: Aers, David (advisor).

▼ In “‘We Are Strangers in this Life’: Theology, Liminality, and the Exiled in Anglo-Saxon Literature,” I analyze the theme of exile in the theological literature of the Anglo-Saxon era as a way of conveying the spiritual condition of eschatological separation. The anthropological theory of liminality will be applied in this dissertation as a way of contextualizing the existence of the exiled, and the multiple ways in which exile is enacted. The intervention of the theory of liminality in this dissertation offers a methodology and vocabulary for assessing what exile means in terms of a spiritual identity, how it operates in ideas of spiritual conflict, and how that conflict is interpreted in theological constructs. The theory of liminality provides a way to interpret the symbols that are constructed within social acts that arise from rituals of transition, of crossing the limen, or thresholds of social and spiritual boundaries, as in the case of exile and banishment. As a theme, exile emerges as a remarkably consistent presence, looming and lurking in the landscapes and characters of Old English poems, many of which are religious in nature. However, there is a lack of scholarship that attempts to understand how exile became such a prevalent theme in Anglo-Saxon literature, which leads to a lack of considering its rhetorical and spiritual function in light of Anglo-Saxon religious literary culture. It is interesting, and perhaps unfortunate, that more attention to this idea has not been afforded, given the clear theological impetus of eschatology and judgment that undergirds much of Anglo-Saxon religious literature. This dissertation will examine patristic literature, biblical commentaries, hagiography, homilies, and monastic regula in Anglo-Saxon England as a way to contextualize the theological concept of being in exile, and its meaning for Anglo-Saxon Christians and the spiritual identity they constructed as liminal people. Advisors/Committee Members: Joshua B. Smith, William Quinn, Lora Walsh.

▼

The rituale was a liturgical book that guided priests in celebrating the sacraments of the Church, apart from the Mass. In Spain, this liturgical book first begins to appear in the twelfth century as part of an on-going movement of Romanization of the native Spanish liturgical practices. Its earliest forms, both in and beyond Spain, are to be found in monastic or canonical communities. The manuscript León, Archivo de la Real Colegiata de San Isidoro, cod. 12 contains one of these “monastic rituals.” Composed in 1187, this manuscript continued in use at San Isidoro in León through the fifteenth century.The Ritual of San Isidoro contains rites for the preparation of holy water, the blessing of the rooms of the monastic enclosure, infant baptism, baptism of the sick, matrimony, anointing of the sick, preparation for death, and burial. Close analysis of the text of these formularies reveals that the Ritual of San Isidoro drew on a wide array of sources in compiling and arranging its sacramental rites. These sources included the books of the native Old Spanish Liturgy (although it had been officially proscribed in León in 1080), Gallo-Roman sacramentaries of the Carolingian liturgical reform, the tenth-century Romano-Germanic Pontifical, customs from the reforming canonical community of Saint-Ruf in Avignon, and southern French local traditions going back to the eighth century; there are also some instances of what may be original euchological composition at San Isidoro. The composition of these sacramental rites in the Ritual of San Isidoro displays great creativity, as exemplified in its rite of matrimony, which contains the earliest known consent dialogue expressing the consent of both bride and groom.This manuscript also affords precious evidence for the care of souls in twelfth-century León and Spain overall. In these sacramental rites, we see both a sensitivity to the traditional local practices as well as a forward-looking assertion of late-twelfth-century initiatives for the reform of sacramental life.
