Abbas and Rex: Power and Authority in the Literature of Fleury, 987–1044
The considerable fame and influence in medieval Europe of the abbey of Saint-Benoit-sur-Loire, commonly known as Fleury, derived in large part from its possession of the relics of St Benedict of Nursia. The Fleury texts paint a remarkable picture of royal and abbatial authority and power. They represent kings as otherworldly models of religious piety and abbots as worldly leaders exercising power on their own authority and on their own terms. Sho…
Studying Deep History Abroad
A contribution to a set of case studies, titled "In the Humanities Classroom," this essay describes a course on the deep history of Italy developed for a "semester abroad" program in Perugia during the spring of 2016. It describes, in particular, two class meetings in the middle of the term that focused on the use of DNA, archaeology, and anthropology to study the lives of seven women who are the ancestors of almost every European today, as "imag…
Introduction: To Support Our Claims
The historian Caroline Walker Bynum, who solicited and organized this set of five case studies, explains in her introduction to them that their intent is to bypass the currently popular and unsupported claim that the humanities have practical relevance and, instead, to offer ruminative descriptions of what happens when teachers and students meet to discuss texts and objects. She explains that the essays report in detail on five individual classes…

By putting the institutional and doctrinal history firmly in the context of Christianity's many cultural manifestations and lived formations everywhere from Afghanistan to Iceland, this volume of The Cambridge History of Christianity emphasizes the ever-changing, varied expressions of Christianity at both local …

Performing Death and Dying at Cluny in the High Middle Ages
The liturgy of death and dying at the great Benedictine abbey of Cluny first caught my attention over 25 years ago. Returning time and again to the textual remains of Cluniac death rituals: translating, teaching, and writing about them, considering them from various points of view—the history of monasticism, the cure of the body and care of the soul, relations between the living and the dead, the anthropology of ritual and religion, contemporary …
