The Historical Construction of National Consciousness: Selected Writings

Medieval Christianity in Practice
The stigmatized Italian visionary and the devout French physician: Palma Mattarelli d'Oria and docteur Imbert Gourbeyre
The paper examines the case of an Italian local celebrity, Palma Mattarelli, born in 1825, and stigmatized at the significant age of 33. From that moment on, extraordinary phenomena multiplied around her: ecstasies, visions, ‘holy’ communion, apocalyptic prophecies. In the climate of renewed Catholic sensibility for extraordinary supernatural phenomena Palma’s fame soon extended abroad. The Docteur A. Imbert-Gourbeyre visited Palma in 1871, and d…
The Plague and the Wolf as Places of Memory
The essay compares two cases of very intense panic caused by the destructive forces of nature. The panic caused by the Black Death – a topic Halina Manikowska also dealt with – is presented from the point of view of its frightening memory. The long-term evolution and changes in the then-prevailing attitudes is compared to the lasting fear and panic from the menace of wolves, which also represented a mortal danger in medieval and early modern Euro…

Une autre histoire: Jacques Le Goff
Jacques Le Goff (1924-2014) a été l’un des très grands historiens de son temps. Il a été l’auteur d’une œuvre immense, consacrée pour l’essentiel à l’histoire du Moyen Âge, qu’il a renouvelée en profondeur. Cet ouvrage en explore les ambitions, les objets et les démarches. Il réunit les contributions présentées à l’occasion d’une journée d’hommage organisée en janvier 2015 par l’École des hautes études en sciences sociales et par la Bibliothèque …

Mapping the Merry Ghetto: Musical Countercultures in East Central Europe, 1960–1989
Conclusion: North and East European Cults of Saints in Comparison with East-Central Europe
This volume examines the cult of the saints and their associated literature in two peripheral regions of Christendom that were converted to Christianity around the turn of the first millennium, namely, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. The thirteen authors focus on how cultures of sanctity were transmitted across the two regions and on the role that neighbouring Christian countries like England, Germany, and Byzantium played in that process. The au…

The present volume focuses on the divergence between Western and Eastern evolution, on the different relationship of learned demonology to popular belief systems in the two parts…

Communicating with the Spirits
Focuses on the problem of communication with the other world: the phenomenon of spirit possession and its changing historical interpretations, the imaginary schemes elaborated for giving accounts of the journeys to the other world, for communicating with the dead, and finally the historical archetypes of this kind of religious manifestation—trance prophecy, divination, and shamanism.Recognized historians and ethnologists analyze the relationship,…

The spread of Christianity, the new state formation processes, the economic, social and cultural evolution, and the development of ecclesiastical and political institutions in East Central and Northern Europe after the tum of the first millennium provide an excellent subject for a broad comparative enterprise dealing with the transmission of institutional and cultural models. This period was a noteworthy and well articulated phase of Euroepan his…

Entre visions angéliques et transes chamaniques: Le sabbat des sorcières dans le Formicarius de Nider
Achevé aux alentours de 1435, le Formicarius de Johannes Nider (1380-1438) décrit des saints et des hérétiques, des visions, des révélations, des phénomènes de possession et de simulation, des vertus extraordinaires et des péchés mortels, des opérations miraculeuses, et des œuvres de magiciens et de sorciers. Pour expliquer la signification extraordinaire de la transe religieuse dans ces histoires, nous proposons d'examiner l'hypothèse d'une corr…

Religion du Livre, le christianisme présente maintes situations quotidiennes, sacramentelles ou imaginaires où l'écrit s'investit et rayonne de sacralité. Il s'agit ici d'examiner, dans le champ de la chrétienté européenne et les milieux des clercs lettrés, les formes d'usage sacré du livre et de l'écrit, hermétisme et rites magiques inclus.

Hungary: The Accusations and the Universe of Popular Magic
THE surviving historical records of Hungarian witch persecutions start–as in many other European countries–with a few legal measures against maleficium and veneficium, to be found in the legislation of the first Hungarian kings: Saint Stephen (1000-38), Saint Ladislaus (1077-95), and Coloman (1095-n16).°1 These laws also mention strigas, the existence of which Coloman simply denies, following the tradition of the Canon episcopi and the Carolingia…

Decline of Witches and Rise of Vampires in 18th Century Habsburg Monarchy
Witch persecutions in Hungary had to be ended "from above" by the enlightened measures of queen Maria Theresa, in the second half of the 18th century. How did this important change in judicial procedures and in the wider mentality occur? My article tries to investigate this problem on different levels. First I trace the work of Maria Theresa's court doctor, Gerard van Swieten, and the impact of North Italian enlightened thinkers and the Dutch sce…
Sainteté royale et sainteté dynastique au moyen âge. Traditions, métamorphoses et discontinuités
