Sisters and Brothers of the Common Life: The Devotio Moderna and the World of the Later Middle Ages
John Van Engen studies the Devotio Moderna, or Modern Devout, within their own time and space, the social and religious conditions that marked towns and parishes in northern Europe during the fifteenth century, and their challenge to received notions of religion within the widespread upheavals in cultural and religious life of the period.
Multiple Options: The World of the Fifteenth-Century Church
Any historical period called "late" is headed for interpretive trouble, and one called "late medieval" is probably doomed. Periodization is an artifice, as we know, yet also an art. Historians have entirely reconceived "late antiquity" over the past generation, transforming Roman decadence into an imperial and Christian culture three centuries long embracing the whole Mediterranean world, creative in its culture and foundational for societies tha…

The Writings of Master Geert Grote of Deventer, Deacon (1340-84)
The new Prolegomena to the works of Geert Grote permit us to consider the nature of his writings and their reception. He was best known by far for his attack on priests with companions. His sermons have come down to us only in so far as they were captured in sayings or transformed into tractates. The crucial center of his apostolate lay in his letters and responses, which should be treated and presented as a complex whole to get at his active ref…

New Devotion in the Low Countries
By speaking of a revolution in the medieval understanding of life I am not trying to be sensational. Any such claim would require a good deal of working out in detail and might well settle upon a more suitable term. I am trying, quite simply, to alert historians to real shifts in the understanding and practice of life across medieval Europe in the later middle ages, helping us get past the habit of treating most developments as after-thoughts to …
The Future of Medieval Church History
For centuries, from its Roman endorsement as imperial cult around the year 400 to its revolutionary disestablishment in the 1790s, the Christian religion laid claim to the allegiance of Europe's peoples, even a right to set policies about Jews. This fateful historical conjunction between the making of Europe and the spread of Christian allegiance rested upon an ever-changing mix of custom, law, and conviction, religious in coloration but politica…

Dialektik und Rhetorik im frühen und hohen Mittelalter: Rezeption, Überlieferung und gesellschaftliche Wirkung antiker Gelehrsamkeit vornehmlich im 9. und 12. Jahrhundert
Dialektik und Rhetorik waren im mittelalterlichen Alltagallgegenwärtig. Die klassischen Schuldisziplinen, Grundlagescholastischer Wissenschaft, stehen im Zentrum dieses Sammelbandes. DieAutoren beschäftigen sich jeweils exemplarisch damit, welche sozialen,politischen aber auch moralischen Auswirkungen auf diegesellschaftliche Entwicklung die Omnipräsenz der rhetorischen unddialektischen Methoden hatte.
