4.9/5 (16021 ratings)

Description:This volume brings together innovative research on miracles in the Christian West 1100-1500, and includes chapters on Anglo-Norman saints' cults, late medieval Portugal and the legacy of medieval hagiography in the immediate post-Reformation period. Contributors investigate miracle narratives in conjunction with broader socio-cultural ideals, practices and developments in medieval society. They also reassess the legacy of Peter Brown, challenge established dichotomies such as 'medicine and religion', and examine relics, lay beliefs and the liturgical evidence of a saint's cult, moving beyond the traditional focus on canonization. Medical history features prominently alongside other approaches; these clarify the contexts of our sources, and demonstrate the methodological vibrancy in this field.Contents:Peter Brown and Victor Turner revisited : anthropological approaches to Latin miracle narratives in the medieval West / Anne E. Bailey --Miracles, belief and Christian materiality : relic'ing in twelfth-century miracle narratives / Simon Yarrow --Marian miracles and Marian liturgies in the Benedictine traition of post-Conquest England / Kati Ihnat --Conceptions of the miraculous : natural philosophy and medical knowledge in the thirteenth-century Miracula of St Edmund of Abingdon / Louise Elizabeth Wilson --"Christ more powerful than Galen"? : the relationship between medicine and miracles / Iona McCleery --Indiscriminate healing miracles in decline : how social realities affect religious perception / Irina Metzler --St Edmund of East Anglia : "martir, mayde and kynge", and midwife? / Rebecca Pinner --John Foxe's golden saints? : ways of reading Foxe's female martyrs in light of Voragine's Golden legend / Fiona KaoWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
