The last empress. Saint Richgard and the end of the Carolingian dynasty
The end of the Carolingian dynasty is often portrayed as the result of the weak reign of Emperor Charles III. His former wife Richgard, with whom he had not produced an heir, became a nun after their divorce. These events did not pass without much controversy: legends tell that the Carolingian empress was forced to prove her virginity by trial by fire after being accused of adultery. Shedding light on early and high medieval sources dealing with …
Intertextuelle Textilien: Imaginäre Kleider und Temporalität bei Alanus ab Insulis und Gertrud von Helfta
This article compares a vision from the ›Legatus divinae pietatis‹ – attributed to Gertrude the Great (c. 1256–1301/1302) – with Alain de Lille’s twelfth-century allegory ›De planctu Naturae‹ (1160/1165). It shows how imaginary textiles, such as allegorical dresses in visions, function as a means of visualizing conceptions of time, temporality, and salvation.

The mystical Life of Christina of Ha…

The following study concentrates on the relationship between liturgy, visionary space, and the theoretical implications of music as cosmological order in the medieval mystical tradition. It examines musical instances in mystical accounts by elucidating the ways in which mystical texts engage with music and dance as something that forms a bridge to the celestial realm. Performance aspects of mystical accounts can be seen as part of a creative rece…
