Earth and Ore
In 1519, soil from the Campo Santo Teutonico next to St. Peter's in Rome — a burial place thought to contain earth from Jerusalem — was spread over the extramural cemetery in the Saxon town of Annaberg. This article asks how the reception of the soil from Rome was shaped by the local community and its landscape at a time of religious change. It demonstrates the potential for both positive and negative views on the part of Annaberg's citizens, arg…
Roman soil and Roman sound in Irish hagiography
Irish hagiography displays considerable interest in communication between Ireland and Rome, particularly as this featured saints, popes and relics. While people and objects travel between the two places, there is also concern to circumvent the distance involved. This article discusses an episode of miraculous communication in the Irish Life of St Colmán Élo. Here messages and messengers travel from Rome, but time and space are also telescoped thr…
Mons Manufactus’
Rome's man-made mounds occupy a position between built antiquities and natural features. In the Middle Ages and early modern period, particular attention was paid to Monte Testaccio, the Mausoleum of Augustus, and the related ‘mons omnis terra’. Debate focused on the origins and composition of the mounds, thought to contain either earth brought to Rome as symbolic tribute, pottery used to hold monetary tribute, or pottery produced locally. Develo…

In 1508, Pope Julius II gave Florian and Barbara von Waldenstein a twofold gift.He not only granted the burial chapel they had founded in Hall in Austria privileges equivalent to those of the Campo Santo Teutonico in Rome, but also gave the couple the right "to strew its surface with the dust or holy earth of the cemetery of the Campo Santo." 1 In its turn, the Campo Santo Teutonico had a material connection with the Holy Land, as it was understo…

Suo loco
The presbytery pavement of Novara Cathedral in Piedmont, which dates from the early twelfth century, includes the symbols of the four Evangelists on either side of where the altar once stood. The fourteenth-century ordinal for the cathedral indicates that these symbols were used as markers for participants in the prebaptismal ceremony known as the aurium apertio, in particular during the reading of the initial passages of the Gospels (traditio ev…
The Practice of the Bible in the Middles Ages
This interdisciplinary volume of fourteen essays presents the medieval Bible as fluid in its composition and appearance, and as the starting-point for a variety of creative, interpretative practices. Broadly speaking, the first half concentrates on the role of the Bible in the liturgy and in the structured routines of monasticism. Susan Boynton sets out the use of biblical extracts in the Mass and Divine Office and in representational rituals. Ri…
Imagining Jerusalem in the Medieval West
Jerusalem was the object of intense study and devotion throughout the Middle Ages. This book illuminates ways in which the city was represented by Christians in Western Europe, from the 600s the 1500s. Focusing on maps in illuminated manuscripts and early printed books, it also considers views and architectural replicas, and treats depictions of the Temple and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre alongside those of Jerusalem as a whole. The chapters …
