Medieval Clothing and Textiles 19
The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing from a range of disciplines. The essays collected here continue to showcase the Journal's wide-ranging and eclectic tradition. The topics addressed are the sensory perceptions of textiles in Early Medieval Britain; evidence of the global textile trade as reflected in church facades in Lucca, Italy; the ways in which spinning and weaving in late medieval Cologne influenced the presen…
Proving Stigmata
The Franciscan Antonio Daza, a native of Valladolid, published his Historia de las llagas de nuestro seráfico padre San Francesco in 1617. He intended to demonstrate that the stigmata of Francis of Assisi were miraculous and unique. Daza referred to Juana de la Cruz (d. 1534), a Poor Clare, whom he identified as providing evidence of the veracity of Francis's stigmata in her sermons, which had been collected by one of the nuns in her convent in a…

Visualizing Stigmata
At the time of the Lord Pope Benedict XII [1334-42] it happened that in a city near Avignon in which the [Franciscan] brothers had a convent, on a certain day while all the friars were in the choir celebrating the holy office, two friars belonging to a different order arrived and walked around. Then one of them saw the image of St Francis with the holy stigmata depicted on the wall, [and] he said to his companion: ‘Those friars minor want their s…
Materiality and immateriality
Performing the Passion
In Italy, the years around 1500 were fraught for a number of reasons. There were renewed fears about the second coming of Christ and the end of the world. The expansion of the Ottoman Empire gave rise to a sense of instability and impending doom. In this climate many people became increasingly concerned about their fate in the afterlife and the need to be prepared for death and judgement. Central to this was the doctrine of purgatory. Yet, in the…
Introduction
The city of Naples has been a major centre for more than two millennia. Its natural harbour and position on the southwest coast of Italy made it important in trade relations between Italy, Greece, Byzantium, North Africa, Spain, Holland, Flanders and Germany. Its strategic importance and resulting prosperity resulted in fierce competition for control of Naples and the surrounding area. During the period discussed by the various contributors to th…

Clothing, charity, salvation and visionary experience in fifteenth‐century Siena
This article investigates the use of clothing as a liminal object, capable of moving across the boundary between the mortal and immortal worlds. The significance of clothing within the changing consumer culture of Renaissance Italian society, and the legislation surrounding it, has been discussed by a number of recent authors. I consider a different, but connected, aspect of clothing: depictions and descriptions of supernatural apparitions relati…

Religious habits and visual propaganda
Shortly before joining the Dominican Order in 1218, the Blessed Reginald of Orléans received a vision of the Virgin Mary in which she presented him with the black and white habit of the Order of Preachers. The vision was represented a surprising number of times in Italian art of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries by artists including Nicola Pisano, Fra Angelico and Ottaviano Nelli. This article discusses the precise importance of …
Viewing and commissioning Pietro Lorenzetti's Saint Humility Polyptych
The early fourteenth-century polyptych representing the life of Humility of Faenza (Florence, Uffizi and Berlin, Gemaldegalerie), and ascribed to Pietro Lorenzetti, places its subject within the medieval tradition of strong, independent abbesses. This characterisation of sanctity is dramatically different from that shown on the earlier (1281–1285) Santa Chiara Dossal (Assisi, Santa Chiara) where Saint Clare is set up as an example of a new type o…
