Words and Deeds: Shaping Urban Politics from Below in Late Medieval Europe
The Transformative Image
Theater of a Thousand Wonders: A History of Miraculous Images and Shrines in New Spain, by William B. Taylor
To the historian of spirituality and religious culture, peculiar challenges and opportunities are presented by the Hispanic New World of Central America between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries. Is the subject to be understood best as a chapter in the global exportation of the Catholic values of ancien régime Europe, or, the imperial presence notwithstanding, as a phase in the longue durée of a rich and ancient indigenous spiritual cult…

Miraculous Images and the Sanctification of Urban Neighborhood in Post-Medieval Italy
In Liguria, in northern Italy, religious images (usually of the Virgin Mary) dating from the medieval and early modern period continue to be the focus of local cults that create a powerful spiritual sense of neighborhood through common visual references. Their histories are often complex, at certain times involving the defense of local interests against outsiders, sometimes serving as a focal point for the reconciliation of disputes. Some local c…

The Virgin Mary and the People of Liguria: Image and Cult
We begin with an image, and a story. Explanation will emerge from what follows. Figure 1 depicts a huge wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, once the figurehead on the prow of a ship, but now on the high altar of the church of Saints Vittore and Carlo in Genoa, and venerated as Nostra Signora della Fortuna. On the night of 16-17 January 1636 a violent storm struck the port of Genoa. Many ships were wrecked. Among them was one called the Madonna dell…

Myth, image and social process in the English medieval town
This essay examines the nature and role of mythical histories in English medieval towns. Myths concerning the origins and special destinies of particular cities were widespread and long-lasting. For contemporaries they acquired meaning through their interaction with changing historical circumstances. Evidence for their circulation in both elite and popular domains is reviewed. Their significance was not unambiguous; they were, rather, contested t…
Going to the Fraternity Feast: Commensality and Social Relations in Late Medieval England
In the history of medieval ideas about community, a prominent place must be accorded to the fraternity, or guild. This type of voluntary association, found throughout medieval Europe, frequently applied to itself the name of communitas . The community of the guild was not, however, a simple phenomenon; it invites closer analysis than it has yet received. As religious clubs of mostly lay men and (often) women, the fraternities of medieval Christen…
Solidarités et changement social. Les fraternités urbaines anglaises à la fin du Moyen Age
La société urbaine pose à l'habitant d'une ville comme à l'historien un problème de fond: comment, au vu de la diversité et des fluctuations de la population urbaine, le citadin peut-il y découvrir le sens de l'identité ou de la solidarité ? En ville, les tensions ont de tous temps existé et ceci n'étonne personne. Ce qui est plus surprenant, c'est que malgré ces tensions, les sociétés urbaines aient pu, et même pendant de longues périodes, survi…

Parochial Conformity and Voluntary Religion in Late-Medieval England
Much evidence has been brought to light recently to demonstrate the vitality of religious life among the English laity on the eve of the Reformation. Attention has been drawn to the fact that, in the period before the advent of Protestantism, lay men and women evinced a high degree of commitment to their church. The religious changes of the sixteenth century are as pressing a historical problem as ever; moreover, they provide a valuable litmus wi…
