Abstract

Abstract Texts that prohibit laywomen from accessing the supernatural appear in the Libri duo of Regino of Prüm ( c .906 CE) and the Decretum of Burchard of Worms ( c .1020 CE). Regino and Burchard designed their handbooks for bishops to use as they visited their diocese. The handbooks forbade laywomen from accessing the supernatural through informal practices, which the texts contrasted to the male clergy's ritual access to supernatural authority. This article highlights that Regino's and Burchard's texts created a gendered hierarchy, one which associated women with illicit access to the supernatural and emphasised male clerical authority.

主教，“魔法”和妇女:主教访问教区，平信徒妇女和超自然现象，和神职当局在中世纪中部

禁止外行妇女接触超自然现象的文本出现在普瑞吉诺的《Libri duo of Regino of pr》(公元906年)和伯查德的《Decretum of Burchard of Worms》(公元1020年)中。雷吉诺和伯查德设计了他们的手册，供主教访问他们的教区时使用。这些手册禁止外行女性通过非正式的实践接触超自然现象，这与男性神职人员通过仪式接触超自然权威形成对比。这篇文章强调了雷吉诺和伯查德的文本创造了一种性别等级制度，这种等级制度将女性与非法接触超自然事物联系在一起，并强调了男性的神职权威。
