Bednarski, Steven. A Poisoned Past
A Poisoned Past
A Poisoned Past: The Life and Times of Margarida de Portu, a Fourteenth-Century Accused Poisoner. An article from journal Renaissance and Reformation / Renaissance et Réforme (Situating Conciliarism in Early Modern Spanish Thought), on Érudit
Order and Identity in Women’s Communities
Texts associated with women’s houses and writings of female religious show that women were active in educating the sisters under their care and shaping the identities of their communities. There are relatively few surviving female-authored writings. Those that exist are geographically and chronologically dispersed. However, the manuscript (and later printed) circulation of such texts and translations makes considering them as a group logical. The…
Epilogue
The epilogue draws the major threads of narratives that have unfolded throughout the book to a conclusion. In tracing the threads of monasticization that wove their way around pious laywomen it has drawn attention to the ways in which dynamic communities came to be remembered only for their piety and obedience. At the same time, this epilogue revisits the creation of fictive histories and illustrates some of the ways that they have continued to i…
Fictive Orders and Feminine Religious Identities, 1200-1600
Any visitor to Belgium or the Netherlands is immediately struck by the number of convents and beguinages ( begijnhoven ) in both major cities and small towns. Their number and location in urban centres suggest that the women who inhabited them once held a prominent role. Despite leaving a visible mark on cities, much of the story of these women—known variously as beguines, tertiaries, klopjes, recluses, and anchoresses—remains to be told. Instead…
Tertiaries and the Scottish Observance
Using the community of St Martha's Hospital in Aberdour as a case study, this article places the experiences of Scottish tertiary women in the wider European context. In 1488 Pope Innocent VIII confirmed the introduction of the third order of St Francis to Scotland via a small community of women in Aberdour. Although the surviving information regarding this community is both scarce and contradictory, it is compatible with the information that is …
The beguines of medieval Paris
Tanya Stabler Miller's The Beguines of Medieval Paris draws together the diverse strands of beguine scholarship that have emerged in recent years. It both highlights and contextualises the signific
Institutionalizing Penitential Life in Later Medieval and Early Modern Europe
In the early thirteenth century, informal communities of pious lay women in urban areas of Northern Europe came to the attention of the Church. These women lived in their own homes or small communities, and played a prominent role in secular society. However, these women soon found themselves both the subject of controversy, and increasingly steered toward a monastic model. Attempts were made to create and institutionalize a “middling” status. Th…
Mary of Oignies
The future of social housing
The merits of market and non‐market, or social, housing provision are often debated on the basis of entrenched conceptions of market and bureaucratic systems. From an economic perspective, this paper challenges the validity of traditional ‘polar’ arguments in support of state or market provision, concluding that there is no ex‐ante case favouring one system over the other. In either case, the critical factor in efficient production and management…
