{"title":"‘Artists Hidden from Human Gaze’: Visual Culture and Mysticism in the Nineteenth-Century Convent","authors":"K. Jordan","doi":"10.1017/bch.2020.18","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/bch.2020.18","url":null,"abstract":"This article offers a reading of nineteenth-century Roman Catholic theology through the sacred art produced by and for women religious. The practices and devotions that the article explores, however, are not those that drew from the institutional Church but rather from the legacies of mysticism, many of which were shaped in women’s religious communities. Scholars have proposed that mysticism was stripped of its intellectual legitimacy and relegated to the margins of theology by post-Enlightenment rationalism, thereby consigning female religious experience to the politically impotent private sphere. The article suggests, however, that, although the literature of women’s mysticism entered a period of decline from the end of the Counter-Reformation, an authoritative female tradition, expressed in visual and material culture, continued into the nineteenth century and beyond. The art that emerged from convents reflected the increasing visibility of women in the Roman Catholic Church and the burgeoning of folkloric devotional practices and iconography. This article considers two paintings as evidence that, by the nineteenth century, the aporias1 of Christian theology were consciously articulated by women religious though the art that they made: works which, in turn, shaped the creed and culture of the institutional Church. In so doing, the article contributes to the growing body of scholarship on the material culture of religion.","PeriodicalId":41292,"journal":{"name":"British Catholic History","volume":"35 1","pages":"190 - 220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/bch.2020.18","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45270094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Sir Thomas Tresham and the Christian Cabala","authors":"F. Young","doi":"10.1017/bch.2020.16","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/bch.2020.16","url":null,"abstract":"The Christian Cabala, a Christianised version of Jewish mysticism originating in Renaissance Italy, reached England in the early sixteenth century and was met with a variety of responses from English Catholics in the Reformation period. While ‘cabala’ was used as a slur by both Protestant and Catholic polemicists, Robert Persons drew positively from the work of the Italian cabalist Pietro Galatino, and in 1597 Sir Thomas Tresham, then a prisoner at Ely, described in detail a complex cabalistic design to decorate a window. While the Christian Cabala was only one source of inspiration for Tresham, he was sufficiently confident in his cabalistic knowledge to attempt manipulations of names of God in his designs for the window at Ely and to insert measurements of cabalistic significance in the gardens on his Lyveden estate. Persons’s and Tresham’s willingness to draw on Christian cabalism even after its papal condemnation suggests the intellectual independence of English Catholics, who were prepared to make use of esoteric traditions to bolster their faith. The evidence for experiments with cabalism by a few English Catholics highlights the need for further re-evaluation of the significance of esoteric traditions within the English Counter-Reformation and the eclectic nature of post-Reformation English Catholic mysticism.","PeriodicalId":41292,"journal":{"name":"British Catholic History","volume":"35 1","pages":"145 - 168"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/bch.2020.16","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42113364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jan Graffius’s chapter contains beautiful photographs of some of the relics and reliquary illustrations in the collections of Stonyhurst College. The appendix at the end of Ana Sáez-Hidalgo’s chapter provides a transcription of the book inventories she examined in the Escorial Library. The additional resources that the volume provides, in the way of high-resolution photographs of manuscripts and annotated book pages, as well as transcriptions of some archival materials in the United Kingdom and continental Europe, will make it a useful resource for graduate students. The volume may also be of use to those teaching on various aspects of English Catholicism, post-Tridentine Catholicism, and Catholic missions to undergraduates. As the title indicates, this is a book about England and mainland Europe, with other parts of the British Isles and the rest of the early modern world making only brief appearances. The Scottish Jesuit mission, for instance, is mentioned in Thomas McCoog’s chapter, and while Christopher Gillet brings an Atlantic dimension into his essay on the Oath of Allegiance, the book’s claim to demonstrate that the English Jesuit mission was fully part of a global missionary network might have been made stronger with more consideration of connections to Catholic missions outside of Europe. That being said, the collection amply demonstrates the integration of English Catholicism into the wider European Catholic Church. The essays stand out particularly in their demonstration of the depth and geographical breadth of the cultural connections between Catholics in England and continental Europe, which is in part facilitated by the thematic focus on the Jesuits (the book is part of Brill’s Jesuit Studies series). On the whole, the volume paints a vibrant picture of the intellectual, artistic, and literary contributions of English Jesuits to the Society’s missions in early modern Europe, and enriches our understanding of the Jesuits’ significance in cultivating ties between English Catholics and their European neighbours.","PeriodicalId":41292,"journal":{"name":"British Catholic History","volume":"35 1","pages":"130 - 133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/bch.2020.8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46690947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The greatest test and illustration of this position was his involvement in Irish Home Rule, where he deferred to the Irish hierarchy in their support of Charles Stuart Parnell’s Irish Parliamentary Party against his own inclinations and the immediate interests of the Catholic population in England. Manning’s position was in sharp contrast to that of Pope Leo XIII, who negotiated directly with Otto von Bismarck, and over the heads of the hierarchy and Germany’s Catholic Centre Party, to end the Kulturkampf. Thus Manning worked out a modus vivendi for the Church in relation to the liberal, democratic state that anticipates in many ways the practice of the Church in politics today.","PeriodicalId":41292,"journal":{"name":"British Catholic History","volume":"35 1","pages":"25 - 54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/bch.2020.2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45552120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
