When the jealous husbands declare that they have fulfilled the ladies’ desire for flesh, the ladies counter with the claim that they were already replete with Ignaure’s love, and they swear to die since they could never again have a meal of such worth. I argue that in Ignaure, as in other eaten heart stories, consuming the lover’s flesh underscores a core carnality of courtly love, but here it also opens up an alternative model of love, focusing on consummated pleasure rather than desire, and celebrating the dissolution of bodily boundaries against a heteronormative distribution of gender positions. By claiming sexual satisfaction and forming a female homosocial collective based on their unapologetic sharing of a lover’s flesh, the ladies invite a reconsideration of courtly love that values female pleasure over male desire, satiety over lack, and community over exclusivity. I demonstrate that circulations of flesh in Ignaure subvert the political, social, and gendered structures that define the court, for the lay calls on provocative ways of understanding—and enjoying—flesh.","PeriodicalId":40762,"journal":{"name":"Exemplaria Classica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88031424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Yale Girdle Book (New Haven, Beinecke MS 84) contains Boethius’s Consolation of Philosophy; it is bound with a soft leather wrapper that, shroud-like, envelops the codex and reveals that it was meant to be worn. Enabled by the material and affective turns and the field of skin studies, I argue that the binding and parchment alter the text in a synergistic, reciprocal relationship that speaks back to the Consolation’s explicit derision of the body. As a girdle book, the manuscript had the first and last word in the reader’s experience of its text. Every step with which it swung and pulled, every slap against its wearer’s thigh, every turn of the page between the reader’s fingers encouraged a process of cooperative unbinding of both the manuscript and the reader’s self, revealing the Consolation’s debt to embodied sensation. The marks left by MS 84’s medieval readers confirm that it exerted interpretive control over its text and that the affective power of the meeting and merging bodies of manuscript and reader is not a figment of modern theory’s imagination.","PeriodicalId":40762,"journal":{"name":"Exemplaria Classica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78963750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through my discussion of a course unit that considers Richard Hakluyt’s Principall Navigations (1589) in conversation with Sebastian Münster’s Cosmographia (1544), I demonstrate how these premodern visions of the world created ideological pathways toward imperial and racial violence. White, European cosmographers developed a genre of knowledge production about the world, and these generic conventions both authorized their perspectives and established a conceptual mapping toward empire that early modern cartographers and travel writers would reproduce and expand. These cosmographers, cartographers, and travel writers utilized these conventions to legitimize their visions of the world. I argue that these ideological pathways extend the theoretical and empirical work of these writings into course curricula, and continue to inform how knowledge is produced.","PeriodicalId":40762,"journal":{"name":"Exemplaria Classica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77695073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article identifies an alternative model of medieval ascetic therapy in a brief passage in Ancrene Wisse in which a mother playfully hides from her child, who is left to cry alone until she returns and embraces him. The scene, later dubbed “the play of love,” is presented as a similitude illustrating God’s withdrawal from the anchorite, which is experienced as the depressive state known to medieval thinkers as sterilitas mentis. Although it belongs to a long tradition on the benefits of temptation, the play of love also serves an immediate therapeutic end, allowing the anchorite to conceptualize her solitary suffering as part of an ongoing relation with a complex God. The form of the similitude, which facilitates identification across difference, is crucial to this process. Though the play of love operates differently from the therapeutic modes that emerge from other work comparing acedia and depression, it underlines the value of the analogy in the first place, whatever the risks of anachronism.","PeriodicalId":40762,"journal":{"name":"Exemplaria Classica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79103343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
