L'Agenda des Médiévistes

Die Papstgeschichte des Frühmittelalters ist stark fokussiert auf den Papst selbst, seine Aktionen und Reaktionen. Die Wirksamkeit des Papsttums wurde aber bereits im ersten Jahrtausend bestimmt von Personennetzwerken, Relationen und Personengeflechten. Wer diese Personen, die sozusagen in der zweiten Reihe wirkten, eigentlich waren, wird in dem prosopographischen Handbuch dargestellt. Sämtliche Personen, die im 9. Jahrhundert in päpstlichem Auftrag tätig waren oder in der Umgebung des Papstes wirkten, werden mit ihrer Biographie und ihren Tätigkeiten präsentiert. Das Buch zeigt auf, wie das päpstliche Handeln und die Herrschaft in der Zeit zwischen der Kaiserkrönung Karls des Großen und dem Ende der Karolingerzeit in Rom und in der christlichen Welt funktionierten.

Veronika Unger ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin im Projekt Regesta Imperii (Frühmittelalterliche Papstregesten) an der Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.

Research on medieval encyclopedism has generated excellent results in various fields so far, but it still suffers at times from a propensity for compartmentalization, with the result that Arabists, Byzantinists, Latinists, and Romanicists are only rarely involved in common schemes. With this regard, the project “Speculum Arabicum: Objectifying the contribution of the Arab-Muslim world to the history of sciences and ideas: the sources and resources of medieval encyclopaedism” was funded from 2012 to 2017 by an ARC– Actions de Recherche Concertées at the Université catholique de Louvain. The present volume includes 13 papers presented at the closing international symposium of the project.

A History of Women in Christianity to 1600 presents a continuous narrative account of women’s engagement with the Christian tradition from its origins to the seventeenth century, synthesizing a diverse range of scholarship into a single, easily accessible volume. Locating significant individuals and events within their historical context, this well-balanced textbook offers an assessment of women’s contributions to the development of Christian doctrine while providing insights into how structural and environmental factors have shaped women’s experience of Christianity.

Written by a prominent scholar in the field, the book addresses complex discourses concerning women and gender in the Church, including topics often ignored in broad narratives of Christian history. Students will explore the ways women served in liturgical roles within the church, the experience of martyrdom for early Christian women, how the social and political roles of women changed after the fall of Rome, the importance of women in the re-evangelization of Western Europe, and more. Through twelve chapters, organized chronologically, this comprehensive text:

• Examines conceptions of sex and gender tracing back their roots to the Jewish, Hellenistic, and Roman culture
• Provides a unique view of key women in the Church in the Middle Ages, including the rise of women’s monasticism and the impact of the Inquisition
• Compares and contrasts each of the major confessions of the Church during the Reformation
• Explores lesser-known figures from beyond the Western European tradition

A History of Women in Christianity to 1600 is an essential textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in Christian traditions, historical theology, religious studies, medieval history, Reformation history, and gender history, as well as an invaluable resource for seminary students and scholars in the field.

HANNAH MATIS is Associate Professor of Church History at Virginia Theological Seminary, Alexandria, Virginia, USA.
