Abstract

This essay studies the mechanics informing the construction of a single healing cult, that of the virgin saint Empress Cunigunde (c.980-1033) and its gender aspects. The shrine of St. Cunigunde in Bamberg was well known as a healing space after her canonization in 1200, although the first miracle collection does not reveal any medical specialization of the cult. Using previously neglected late medieval narrative and archival material, the essay shows that Cunigunde was a popular female patron whose assistance was sought by women, especially during childbirth. This case of female medical patronage is analysed alongside similar practices in the cults of other saints and is regarded as one of the resources for female convalescence in the medical market of that time.
女性圣徒作为女性治疗的代理人
本文研究了一个单一的治疗邪教的构造机制,即圣母康尼贡德皇后(c.980-1033)及其性别方面。班贝格的圣库尼贡德(St. Cunigunde)在1200年被封为圣徒后,作为一个治疗空间而闻名,尽管第一个奇迹集并没有显示出邪教的任何医学专业。这篇文章使用了以前被忽视的中世纪晚期的叙述和档案材料,表明Cunigunde是一位受欢迎的女性赞助人,妇女们寻求她的帮助,尤其是在分娩时。这一女性医疗赞助案例与其他圣徒邪教的类似做法一起进行了分析,并被视为当时医疗市场上女性康复的资源之一。
