However, such instances are rare, and the volume does well to appeal on a generalist as well as a specialist level. Every contribution presents intriguing and thought-provoking research on a particular topic that would be ideal for a general course on premodern status competition or gender, as well as offering a range of potential content for courses on literature, iconography, ritual practices, or the history of emotions. The volume uses its diverse content to effectively demonstrate the significant influence of gender on how humans have sought to gain advantage in numerous interpersonal contexts throughout time. Ultimately, it succeeds in its aim to advertise the fruitfulness of gender and status competition as a rich and growing area of research.

{"title":"Narrating Power and Authority in Late Antique and Medieval Hagiography across East and West ed. by Ghazzal Dabiri (review)","authors":"P. Ball","doi":"10.1353/pgn.2023.a905429","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/pgn.2023.a905429","url":null,"abstract":"latter of these two chapters, Jürgensen traces the use of material objects, such as friezes, figured sculpture, orders of procession, and church equipment like the chalice and censer, as performing and making manifest the liturgy, inter alia drawing on Hugh of Saint Victor’s statement regarding the three essential and equal elements of church rites: words, motions, and objects. The role and liturgical importance of relics and mimetic anthropomorphic figures come into view with the next two chapters, which look at particular examples from medieval Denmark of relics and physical anthropomorphic statuary imbued with sacred agency. In Chapter 5, Lena Liepe explores the afterlife of Pope Lucius’s skull at Roskilde, emphasising the relic as pignus, a saint’s pledge of enduring interest and care. In Chapter 6, Mads Vedel Heilskov examines the incorporation of living matter in objects of veneration, such as in a crucifix, so as to create an interface between the divine and physical worlds, thereby facilitating an interaction where the ontological boundaries become permeable. Importantly, both Liepe and Heilskov consider such anthropomorphic interfaces to be dialectic rather than simply representational. Next, in Chapter 7, Mette Højmark Søvsø and Maria Knudsen catalogue the wide array of small objects of personal devotion that appear in the Danish archaeological record, such as crosses, brooches, rings, and pilgrimage badges. These are all objects marking piety and personal religious engagement through the intermediary of a physical token. The chapters conclude with two contributions exploring materiality and memory: Laura Katrine Skinnerbach discusses the liturgical use of wax as both a presence and as a means for memorialising, and she is followed by Jakob Tue Christensen and Mikael Manøe Bjerregaard’s chapter on materiality in Danish medieval funerals. Finally, an epilogue is delivered from the perspectives of both an archaeologist and an art historian, in which Mette Svart Kristiansen and Mercedes Pérez Vidal review key aspects and consider directions for future research. In all, this is a fine and useful collection of essays that adds subtlety to our knowledge of medieval Scandinavian religious sensibilities and practices.

However, one aspect of its argumentation seems to have been overlooked by scholars so far: the paradoxical coexistence of the providentialist foundations of Bodin’s doctrine, typical of the moderate demonology of the Church Fathers, and the merciless brutality of the suggested judicial procedure for the extermination of witchcraft. In other words, the harsh repressive stance associated with Bodin’s book does not follow logically from the Augustinian basis of his anti-scholastic demonology. The key to understanding this inconsistency lies in Bodin’s non-confessional political theory, for which atheism (one of whose evergreen incarnations is witchcraft) should be seen as the most dreadful enemy of any state, regardless of its Christian or non-Christian origins.","PeriodicalId":43576,"journal":{"name":"PARERGON","volume":"59 1","pages":"130 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88435649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Essays by Ian Johnson, Ryan Perry and David J. Falls consider the function of devotional texts as behavioural guides with a performative aspect. Illustrative of this section as a whole, Johnson presents Latin, Middle English, and modern English versions of pseudo-Bonaventuran texts. Johnson illustrates the many decisions made by translators and their impacts, drawing out cultural contingencies that remake the ‘experiential topography of the life of Christ with regard not only to the source but also to the imagining soulscape of each reader or hearer encountering it’ (p. 131). ‘Rhetorical Strategies and Spiritual Transformations’ includes essays by C. Annette Grisé, Marleen Cré, and Fiona Somerset. This is a natural extension of the previous section in that the authors probe questions of translation and transmission, between Continental female devotional authors and English translations of the work (Grisé), between a scholar and a text (Cré), and between contemporary texts (Somerset). Finally, the fourth section, ‘Texts and Contours of Religious Life’, brings communal life and its textual culture to the fore. It offers contributions by Kevin Alban on Carmelite liturgy, Marlene Villalobos Hennessy on the literary culture of miracles and prophecy within the pre-Reformation English Carthusians, Jennifer N. Brown on the legislation governing the Brigittines at Syon Abbey, and Mary C. Erler also on Syon Abbey and its sponsorship of both manuscript and printed devotional texts.
