The Trans-National Database and Atlas of Saints' Cults seeks to put the study of saints' cults on a scientific footing, and to build what has never before been attempted: an international inventory of religious devotion at the most local level, comprehensively recording instances of dedication in every town and village, every church - and at every period. This book gathers for the first time data and discussion of the sources for dedications across large areas of Europe and beyond. The authors are scholars working in a number of disciplines, but sharing an expertise in religious history and culture. There are sixteen essays in this book, considering cults from the Netherlands, Transylvania, Slavonia, Germany, England & Wales, Iceland, France, Italy, Karelia, Egypt, Finland, Spain and the New World. Saints of Europe is edited by TASC's director, Graham Jones, lecturer in English topography in the Centre for English Local History, University of Leicester. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Cults of saints lay at the heart of religion during the Middle Ages just as the relics of saints lay in the physical heart of churches across Europe. This book presents fifteen papers, plus an introduction, delivered at a conference at Leicester University in 1999, which reflect a recent revival in interest in the sanctity of the past. The contributors propose areas for future study and highlight the sources that are available. In particular the studies examine saints' cults and pilgrimage sites in the Netherlands, Transylvania, Germany and England as well as discussing evidence from Iceland, Egypt and North America. The book concludes with case studies that consider medieval Finnish churches and altars and dedications in England, Wales and Catalunya. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
