A School of Holiness: Caterina Vigri (1413–1463) and the Nuns of Corpus Domini in Bologna

La «mamma» di Guglielmo VIII Paleologo: Maddalena Panattieri da Trino, terziaria OP (1443-1503)
After a brief excursus on the Italian «living saints» who acquired a reputation for sanctity between the second half of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and a clarification of the historiographical concept of «living saints», the essay presents the hitherto unexplored case of the Dominican tertiary Maddalena Panatieri da Trino (1443-1503). While living in a small town in Monferrato, a rich land located in the Piedmont region, Maddalena was r…
A Compendium of the Wondrous Deeds of Caterina da Racconigi: Hagiography or Philosophical Treatise
Gianfrancesco Pico’s interest in Caterina da Racconigi, a mystic and prophet revered in Piedmont in the first decades of the sixteenth century, was born out of a scientific curiosity prior to becoming devout admiration. The Compendio delle cose mirabili, Gianfrancesco’s last work, written after the completion of his Life of Savonarola, is a continuation of his treatises on prophecy and premonition and on the discernment of spirits and witchcraft;…

Predicazione e cura pastorale. I Sermoni della clarissa veneziana Chiara Bugni (1471-1514)
[it] Si analizzano i Sermoni della clarissa veneziana Chiara Bugni (1471- 1514) a partire dalla recente edizione dal Libro della beata Chiara, composto alla metà del Cinquecento. I Sermoni documentano la prassi della predicazione dell’abbadessa all’interno del monastero e sono distinte dalle visioni e rivelazioni affi date alla Vita composta dal confessore. Si conferma così una duplice funzione della predicazione femminile: quella profetica, rivo…
Places and Gestures of Women’s Preaching in Quattro- and Cinquecento Italy
This volume of essays concentrates on the effects of preaching in late medieval and early modern Europe, particularly through the concept of charisma, a term introduced into the discussion of religion and politics by Max Weber.

The late medieval and early modern periods witnessed the emergence of preachers who became powerful public fig…

Les prophètes de cour dans l'Italie de la Renaissance
Gabriella Zarri, Les prophètes de cour dans l'Italie de la Renaissance, p. 649-675.
