A Companion to the Eucharist in the Middle Ages
The Eucharist in the European Middle Ages was a multimedia event. First and foremost it was a drama, a pageant, a liturgy. The setting itself was impressive. Stunning artwork adorned massive buildings. Underlying and supporting the liturgy, the art and the architecture was a carefully constructed theological world of thought and belief. Popular beliefs, spilling over into the magical, celebrated that presence in several tumultuous forms. Church l…
Companion to the Eucharist in the Middle Ages
The Feast of Corpus Christi – By Barbara R. Walters, Vincent Corrigan and Peter T. Ricketts
Early and Medieval Rituals and Theologies of Baptism
Heloise, Abelard and the Ordination of Abbesses
Abelard discussed the status and history of the ordo sanctimonialium in several of his works.

Under the heading ‘transubstantiation’ in the Oxford dictionary of the Christian Church , one finds that the word was in widespread use in the later part of the 12th cent., and at the Lateran Council of 1215 belief in Transubstantiation was defined as de fide ; but the elaboration of the doctrine was not achieved till after the acceptance of the Aristotelian metaphysics later in the 13th cent., when it found classic formulation in the teaching of…
