À travers les exemples de Lagrasse, Alet-les-Bains et Caunes-Minervois, cette thèse propose de déterminer les mécanismes et le rôle des acteurs du développement des bourgs monastiques du VIIIe au milieu du XVIe siècle en pays d’Aude. Les modalités du peuplement des sites sont appréhendées, ainsi que les relations entre la communauté des religieux et celle des habitants. La construction de l’espace urbain de ces villes moyennes du Moyen Âge est un des thèmes principaux, abordé à travers l’inventaire des maisons, l’analyse des plans anciens et les sources écrites médiévales et modernes. L’espace périurbain est envisagé comme un secteur permettant aux deux communautés d’assurer une partie de leur approvisionnement et, en ce sens, comme un espace qu’elles devaient se partager et qui devenait essentiel dans les relations qu’elles entretenaientThrough the examples of Lagrasse, Alet-les-Bains and Caunes-Minervois, this thesis intends to determine the mechanisms and the stakeholders’ role in the development of monastic towns in the Aude department from the 8th century to the mid-16th century. The modes of settlement on these sites are examined, as well as the relations between the religious community and the inhabitants. The construction of urban space in these medium-sized medieval towns is one of the main topics addressed through the inventory of houses, the analysis of historic plans and of medieval or modern written sources. The peri-urban space is regarded as an area allowing both communities to secure a part of their supplies and, in this sense, as a space they had to share and that was essential to the relations between them

Full textAbstract:
Selon la tradition, l’abbaye de Saint-Riquier, près d’Abbeville, dans la Somme, a été fondée vers 625 par Riquier, un laïc converti à la vie religieuse (décédé vers 645). L’histoire de cette abbaye jusqu’aux environs de 1100 nous est connue grâce à la chronique rédigée par le moine Hariulf. Ce dernier, né dans le Ponthieu vers 1060, entra enfant à Saint-Riquier et y resta moine jusqu’en 1105, année où il devint abbé d’Oudenburg, près d’Ostende. Le manuscrit original de la chronique d’Hariulf a disparu dans l’incendie de l’abbaye de Saint-Riquier en 1719. Par chance, des copies en avaient été faites au XVIIe siècle. L’édition de référence est celle de Ferdinand Lot en 1894. Outre les informations de nature événementielle qu’elle rapporte, la valeur de cette chronique réside dans les actes qu’Hariulf y a recopiés et qui font qu’elle tient à la fois de la chronique, des gesta abbatum et du cartulaire. Si la chronique d’Hariulf est utilisée depuis longtemps comme source d’information sur l’histoire de la Picardie, elle n’a encore jamais été étudiée pour elle-même, en temps qu’œuvre à la fois littéraire, historique, mémorielle et hagiographique rédigée, avec toute sa subjectivité, par un moine de l’abbaye de Saint-Riquier. Le but de cette thèse de doctorat est donc d’étudier en détail cette chronique pour répondre aux trois questions suivantes : pourquoi Hariulf a-t-il rédigé cette chronique ? Comment a-t-il procédé concrètement ? Comment a-t-il reconstruit l’histoire de son abbaye ? Cette étude, à la frontière entre histoire, mémoire et hagiographie, nécessite une analyse approfondie de la forme et du fond de la chronique d’Hariulf. En ce qui concerne la forme, nous nous intéressons à ce qu’on pourrait appeler « l’atelier de l'historien », autrement dit à la méthode de travail d’Hariulf : quelles ont été ses sources ? Comment les a-t-il utilisées ? Comment a-t-il comblé les lacunes de sa documentation ? Qu’a-t-il choisi d’ignorer et pourquoi ? En ce qui concerne le fond, nous nous intéressons aux thèmes principaux figurant dans la chronique d’Hariulf : histoire de l’abbaye, succession des abbés, saints honorés, rapports avec les pouvoirs laïques (notamment les comtes de Ponthieu) et ecclésiastiques (notamment les évêques d’Amiens), évolution du temporel de l’abbaye, etc. En définitive, il s’agit de mettre en évidence le fonctionnement de la pensée d’Hariulf ainsi que ses centres d’intérêt et de préoccupation afin de mieux comprendre les raisons et les modalités de la rédaction de sa chroniqueTraditionally, it is said that the abbey of Saint-Riquier, near Abbeville, in the Somme department, was founded around 625 by Riquier, a layman converted to religious life (who died around 645). We know the history of this abbey until around 1100 thanks to the chronicle written by the monk Hariulf. The latter, born in Ponthieu around 1060, entered Saint-Riquier as a child and stayed as a monk there until 1105. That year, he became abbot of Saint-Peter of Oudenburg, near Ostend. The original manuscript of Hariulf’s chronicle disappeared in the fire of the abbey of Saint-Riquier in 1719. By chance, copies had been made in the 17th century. The reference edition is that of Ferdinand Lot in 1894. In addition to the event-informations that it relates, the value of this chronicle lies in the charters that Hariulf copied in it and which make that it can be likened to a chronicle, to gesta abbatum and to a cartulary at the same time. Although Hariulf's chronicle has long been used as a source of information about the history of Picardy, it has never been studied for itself as a literary, historical, memorial and hagiographic work written, with all his subjectivity, by a monk of the abbey of Saint-Riquier. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to study this chronicle in detail in order to answer these three questions : why did Hariulf write this chronicle ? How did he proceed concretely ? How did he reconstruct the history of his abbey ? This study, at the juncture between history, memory and hagiography, requires a thorough analysis of the form and content of Hariulf's chronicle. Regarding the form, we are interested in what could be called "the historian's studio", which means Hariulf's working method : what were his sources ? How did he use them ? How did he fill the gaps in his documentation ? What did he choose to ignore and why ? Regarding the content, we are interested in the main themes appearing in Hariulf’s chronicle : the history of the abbey, the succession of the abbots, the saints who were honored, the relations with lay powers (especially the counts of Ponthieu) and ecclesiastical powers (especially the bishops of Amiens), the evolution of the property of the abbey, etc. Ultimately, the aim is to highlight the functioning of Hariulf's thought as well as his interests and concerns in order to better understand the reasons and modalities of the writing of his chronicle

Pain, Marie-Laure. "L'architecture monastique sous le règne de Charlemagne." Thesis, Paris 10, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA100144/document.
Full textAbstract:
Notre sujet porte sur l’étude des complexes monastiques construits – ou du moins dont les constructions ont débuté ou qui ont fait l’objet de modifications de leurs structures ou de leurs dispositifs cultuels – pendant le règne de Charlemagne. Ces recherches privilégient ce qui a trait à la représentativité du pouvoir carolingien et à l’affirmation politico-religieuse de celui-ci à travers le medium du monumental. Il s’agit également de se focaliser sur le rôle et les impacts spirituels, politiques, économiques et sociaux de ces centres monastiques au sein des territoires sur lesquels ils sont implantés. Instruments au service de « la Renaissance carolingienne », ces derniers subirent des modifications structurelles et liturgiques (mutation des vocables, développement d’une liturgie stationnale et multiplication des autels ainsi que des édifices cultuels au sein d’un même complexe) et adoptèrent parfois des dimensions monumentales. Enfin, notre propos s’applique à mesurer l’implication de Charlemagne et de ses conseillers dans ces constructions ainsi que la part de nouveautés et d’emprunts qui constituèrent et caractérisèrent l’architecture monastique de son tempsOur subject deals with the study of the monastic complexes built – or whose construction started or has been modified – during the reign of Charlemagne. This research explores how these facilities could have been conceived as a mean to advertise and strengthen the political and religious power of the Carolingian emperor. The analysis is focused on the spiritual, political, economical and social impact of these monasteries upon the surrounding lands. As instruments of the “Carolingian Renaissance”, they have underwent some structural and liturgical modifications (renaming, development of the stational liturgy, addition of several altars and churches in one complex), and sometimes grew to monumental size. Ultimately, our intention is to assess the implication of Charlemagne and his councilors in these constructions, as well as to bring to light the architectural innovations or reuses that characterize the monastic architecture of Charlemagne’s reign
Die Dissertation behandelt die klösterlichen Gebäudekomplexe zur Zeit Karls des Großen, ob nun zu dieser Zeit erbaut oder in ihrer Struktur oder ihrem Gebrauch verändert und angepasst. Die Untersuchung betont den Repräsentationscharakter des Mediums Klosterbau für die karolingische Herrschaft und dessen politische und religiöse Umsetzung in den Bauten. Außerdem werden die Rolle und die Wirkmächtigkeit dieser monastischen Zentren in ihren jeweiligen räumlichen Kontexten auf der spirituellen, politischen, wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Ebene untersucht. Sie dienten als Vehikel der „karolingischen Renaissance“ und erfuhren strukturelle und liturgische Veränderungen (Wechsel der Patrozinien, Entwicklung einer Stationsliturgie, Vervielfachung der Altäre und der Artefakte für den Gottesdienst innerhalb eines Baukomplexes). Mitunter erreichten sie monumentale Ausmaße. Die Arbeit möchte schließlich die Beteiligung Karls des Großen und seines Beraterkreises bei diesen Baumaßnahmen erfassen und den Anteil des Neuen und des Übernommenen ermessen, der die monastische Architektur dieser Zeit charakterisiert

Ce travail est divisé en trois parties: un volume d'introduction et deux volumes d'édition de textes, l'un de 1097 à 1252 et l'autre de 1252 à 1307 pour un total de 662 actes. Dans le premier volume, cinq chapitres présentent cette édition. Le premier chapitre dresse l'histoire de l'abbaye d'Aulps. Ce monastère fut fondé à la fin du XIe siècle à 800 mètres d'altitude dans le diocèse de Genève et fut affilié à l'ordre cistercien en 1136. Le deuxième chapitre détaille la méthode utilisée pour reconstituer le chartrier disparu (mentions dorsales inventaires, travaux d'érudits. . . ). Une troisième partie est consacrée à l'économie de l'abbaye et particulièrement à son rôle dans la mise en valeur de la montagne. Les pouvoirs de l'abbé et le gouvernement du monastère constituent le thème du quatrième chapitre. Enfin, l'analyse statistique présente la répartition chronologique des actes et leur nature juridique et diplomatique. Les deux séries d'actes édités sont suivies d'un index des noms propres d'un index des matières et d'un index des sigillantsThis thesis is divided into three sections: an introductory volume and two further volumes of primary evidence with analysis, the first encompassing the period 1097 -1252, the second from 1252-1307, representing 662 acts in total. The introduction contains five chapters. The first chapter details the history of Aulps Abbey. The monastery was founded at the end of the 11th century at 800 metres in the diocese of Geneva and was affiliated to the Cistercian Order in 1136. The second chapter presents the methodology employed to reconstitute the lost monastic archive (archiver's notes, inventories, historical scholarly work. . . ) The third chapter is dedicated to the abbey's economic life and particularly to its role in exploiting the mountains as a resource. The abbot's powers and those of the monastery's other monks with decision-making powers are taken up in the fourth chapter. The final chapter's statistical analysis throws light on the chronological order of the acts, as well as their judicial and political context. The two volumes of acts explored in this thesis are followed by indexes of names, subjects and seals

Full textAbstract:
The project is about time and hierarchy, it’s a time vortex and a privileged paradise. The project is based on the ruin of abbey Jumièges, Normandy, France. The abbey has kept being destroyed and rebuilt during the past millennium and the architectural style is always changing through the time. Hierarchy was created within this privileged paradise. The hotel has swallowed the entire ruin and all the history, strategies, like mixing & misusing of programs and collisions with history are applied to it. I’m always interested in the introversion of architecture, a desire of being narcissism and vulnerable and the meaning of hierarchy. This project can be read as a terminal of privilege, and model of aggressive arrogant but reasonable attitude towards the history. It makes me contemplating the relations between negativism and hedonism and society.

Full textAbstract:
Du XIe au XIIIe siècle, l'abbaye de Marmoutier a constitué un important réseau de dépendances monastiques – ou prieurés – dans l'Ouest de la France et notamment en Anjou. Dans cette région, le processus de fondation s'étend des années 1040 à 1150 et les moines font preuve d'un réel savoir-faire en ce domaine, sachant s'adapter aux contraintes et aux acteurs locaux. Chaque prieuré est à la tête d'un patrimoine à la structure complexe, accumulé, organisé et défendu par les moines dans les dépendances, avec le soutien et la surveillance de l'abbaye-mère. Les liens entre abbaye et prieurés sont constants, ce que l'étude de la production écrite des moines permet de mettre en valeur. La fin du XIIe siècle et le début du XIIIe siècle sont marqués par des remaniements du réseau monastique. En Anjou, certains prieurés disparaissent, d'autres se renforcent, ce qui est le signe de la capacité d'adaptation de l'abbaye aux difficultés rencontrées, afin de maintenir durablement ses possessionsFrom the 11th century to the 13th century the abbey of Marmoutier established a significant network of monastic dependencies – or priories – in Western France and especially in the area of Anjou. In this region the foundation movement flourished between the years 1040 and 1150, the monks of Anjou being well-skilled in navigating the often intricate local constraints and power relationships. Each priory managed its own complex set of lands, the acquisition, organization and legal defense of which were undertaken by the monks, with the support and supervision of the mother-abbey. A study of the monastic writings attests to these strong ties between the Abbey and its priories. Finally, major modifications of this prioral system characterized the end of the Twelfth century through the beginning of the Thirteenth : in Anjou some houses disappeared while others continued to grow, yet another sign of the Abbey's ability to adapt to difficult circumstances in order to persevere

McWilliams, Philip Edward. "Paisley Abbey and its remains." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1995. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/1042/.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to re-examine the history, architecture, and archaeology of Paisley Abbey. Paisley's history must be looked at anew for modern research, especially into the Vatican Archives, has clarified the sequence of events surrounding the abbey. Since the OPUS DEI was the raison d'etre of the monastic life, I have discussed the architecture of the abbey church in chapter II, while the discussion of its cloistral and out-buildings follows in Chapter III. My conjectural reconstructions of different aspects of the church, are important to its architectural history; and close observation of the triforium suggests it was the work of the master mason who designed the nave. On account of the lack of actual archaeological evidence, I have had to reconstruct Paisley's cloistral layout from observations made at other British Cluniac houses. Also, an examination of the windows at Paisley's north aisle suggest that they can only be the work of John Morrow. Church records, and the collections of David Semple, have produced new evidence into the eighteenth and nineteenth century restorations. Also, the collection of papers held at Paisley, together with those of Sir John Stirling Maxwell, explain better the problems emanating from Rowand Anderson's uncompleted restoration.

Full textAbstract:
Le monastère bénédictin de Baume-les-Messieurs, attesté dans les textes à la fin du IXe siècle, est avec celui de Gigny à l’origine de la fondation de l’abbaye de Cluny. Deux siècles plus tard, Balma figure parmi les plus importants établissements monastiques de l’actuelle Franche-Comté, et son église est considérée dans l’historiographie régionale comme un des édifices phares de la période romane. Pour autant, l’église abbatiale attendait toujours une étude monographique que nous avons souhaité développer par les méthodes, notamment, de l’archéologie du bâti. Les investigations archéologiques réalisées entre 2006 et 2012 ont renouvelé pleinement nos connaissances sur le parti architectural primitif de l'église romane et ont permis d’identifier différentes phases de construction. L’étude du bâti, conjuguée aux résultats de la fouille archéologique du chœur, a révélé une première phase constructive datée du début du XIe siècle qui se caractérise par un parti architectural ambitieux et insoupçonné jusqu’alors, où la monumentalité du chevet s’exprimait par cinq chapelles échelonnées, encadrées de deux puissantes tours de clocher érigées à l’extrémité des bras du transept. Une seconde phase romane est identifiée au moment du voûtement de l’ensemble de la nef. Cette solution est révélatrice des expériences précoces sur le voûtement qui se manifesta dans le Jura et, plus largement, dans la vallée de la Saône, dès les années 1020-1030. Cette seconde campagne de travaux se caractérise également par une recherche de nouveaux effets plastiques des parois extérieures, avec la présence d’un registre de lésènes et d’arcatures aveugles. Les choix constructifs et décoratifs adoptés au cours du XIe siècle pour l’abbatiale Saint-Pierre de Baume, placent l’édifice au cœur de cette nouvelle expression architecturale du « premier art roman » qui se diffusa, de manière plus ou moins concomitante, dans plusieurs foyers à travers l’Europe. La reconstruction d’une vaste église abbatiale à partir du début du XIe siècle traduit également les besoins d’une communauté monastique en pleine expansion et reflète la puissance, au moins temporelle, de l’établissementThe Benedictine monastery of Baume-les-Messiers, attested in the textual sources at the end of the ninth century, is, along with Gingy, at the origin of the foundation of the abbey of Cluny. Two centuries later Balma figures among the preeminent monastic establishments in modern day Franche-Comté, and its church appears in the regional historiography as one of the stand out buildings of the Romanesque period. In spite of this, however, until recently the abbatial church still lacked a monographic study of the type that it was our intention to carry out, through the use of methods such as building archaeology. The archaeological investigations carried out between 2006 and 2012 have completely reshaped our understanding of the architectural layout of the earliest phase of the Romanesque church and have allowed us to identify a number construction phases. The study of the upstanding building, allied with the results of the archaeological excavations of the chancel, have revealed an initial phase of construction dateable to the beginning of the 11th century, which is characterised by an ambitious and hitherto unexpected architectural layout, in which the monumentality of the chevet is expressed through a series of five staggered chapels, framed by two imposing bell towers positioned at either extreme of the transept. A second Romanesque phase is discernable at a point in which the nave ensemble undergoes alteration, becoming vaulted. This modification is indicative of the early experimentation with vaulting that came about in the Jura, and more generally in the Saône valley, during the years 1020-1030. This second building campaign is also characterised by a considerable amount of experimentation in new forms of decorative features on the external walls, expressed through the inclusion of a series of lesenes and blind arcades. The architectural and decorative choices adopted throughout the course of the 11th century for the abbatial church of Saint-Pierre of Baume place the building firmly at the forefront of the new architectural expression of early Romanesque art, which was expanding more or less concomitantly, appearing in numerous centres throughout Europe. Moreover, this reconstruction of a large abbatial church from the 11th century onwards, conveys the wishes of a flourishing monastic community and reflects the power, albeit temporary, of the establishment

Full textAbstract:
Quand, en 1128, Charles le Bon est assassiné, la Flandre entre dans une longue querelle de succession qui va permettre au nouveau comte, Thierry d'Alsace, puîné de Lorraine, de s'illustrer sur la scène politique. L'intérêt qu'il montre pour la res monastica va faire de lui un atout non négligeable dans la quête de développement du nouvel ordre de Cîteaux. Bernard de Clairvaux met alors à profit ses relations fréquentes avec le comte pour fonder à Loos, en 1146, une nouvelle fille de son abbaye, dans le diocèse de Tournai nouvellement indépendant. En m'appuyant sur un corpus riche de documents, dépouillé et analysé au préalable, j'ai pu dégager cinq principaux domaines de recherche. Débarrasser, dans un premier temps, l'abbaye de toutes les fantaisies dont l'avaient ornée les historiographes et reconstituer le contexte de la fondation. Etablir, dans un second temps, l'espace structurel du monastère. Enfin, en trois parties distinctes, analyser les grands aspects de la vie monastique : la vie communautaire - passage de la vie séculière à la vie conventuelle, rôle et statut de chacun, conformité à la législation cistercienne - , le monde des convers - vie des granges, agriculture et principes d'écoulement des denrées ainsi produites-, l'implication dans le monde de ces moines pourtant cloîtrés - amis et bienfaiteurs, relations interreligieuses d'entente et de confrontation. La publication du chartrier du XIIème siècle, celle de deux chroniques, des notices concernant chaque grange et chaque abbé, puis quelques généalogies des principales familles impliquées dans la fondation font l'objet des annexesIn 1128, following the assassination of Charles le Bon, Flanders entered into a long dispute over succession which was to allow the new Count, Thierry of Alsace, the younger of Lorraine, to win fame on the political stage. The interest which he brought to res monastica was to make him a valuable asset in the quest for the development of the new order of Cîteaux. Bernard de Clairvaux made the most of his frequent dealings with the Count to found in Loos in 1146 a new branch of his abbey in the newly independent diocese of Tournai. Basing my study on a rich corpus of documents, suitably sorted and analysed beforehand, I have been able to extract five main areas of research. Firstly, to dispense with the fantasies surrounding the abbey which former historians had embellished and reconstruct the real context of its foundation. Secondly, establish the stuctural basis of the abbey. Lastly, in three distinct parts, analyse the main traits of monastic life. 1. Community life - the passage from secular to convent life, the role and status of each and everyone, conformity to Cistercien law, 2. Lay society - barn life, agriculture and the production and distribution of produce, 3. The involvement in society of monks in spite of their cloistered existence - friends and benefactors, made up of interreligious agreements and confrontation. The publication of the XII century charter, that of two chronicles, notices pertaining to each barn and each abbot, along with ancestry of the main families involved in the foundation can be found in the appendices

Smith, Andrew. "The Kelso Abbey cartulary : context, production and forgery." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2011. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/3322/.
Full textAbstract:
Very little critical work has been done on collections of charters surviving from medieval Scotland. Using cutting-edge methodologies, this study deconstructs the largest of these collections, namely the Kelso Abbey cartulary, and attempts to answer questions such as when, why and how was it produced, and is its content authentic? Ultimately, it concludes that the manuscript is not a straightforward, objective transcript of the monastery’s charters, and evidence to support this is presented in four chapters, a conclusion and two commentary sections. Chapter one demonstrates that the production of the cartulary was tied to a specific period in the abbey’s history and was certainly produced as part of a campaign to rebuild after the wars of the early fourteenth century and their ramifications. These ramifications included the destruction of the monks’ charters, the destruction of their home and property, and the upheaval of the native landholding establishment by King Edward I and King Robert I. Chapter two reinforces the above suggestions by dating the production of the manuscript between 1321 and 1326 - i.e. the precise years in which King Robert was working to help many of the religious houses in Scotland to reassert themselves after the war. Apart from contextual considerations, chapter two also establishes that the cartulary is not a completely accurate representation of the documentation in the monastery’s archive. Among other things, portions of the manuscript appear to be missing, and the scribes who produced it adopted selection criteria which led to the omission of charters or of diplomatic. Thereafter, chapters three and four evaluate the authenticity of the material in the manuscript. Chapter three demonstrates that there are severe problems with the information, diplomatic, witness lists and other features found in a number of its charters, and chapter four demonstrates that these items share a number of conspicuous features in common, including their locations, conditions and the circumstances which appear to have led to their production. In combination, chapters three and four build a strong case against the authenticity of a number of items in the manuscript, and both of these discussions are complemented by exhaustive commentaries which discuss each of the problematic charters in detail. Finally, this study concludes by demonstrating that certain features of the Kelso Abbey cartulary appear to call into question the veracity of several well-established paradigms, including the notion that cartularies were created for the sole use of the inhabitants of religious communities. It also suggests that the consequences of the Anglo-Scottish wars in the early fourteenth century may be comparable to the consequences of the Norman Conquest of 1066 in terms of inspiring religious houses, like Kelso, to forge charters, and it builds a strong case that this needs to be an area of future inquiry.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis assesses the impact of a Cistercian monastery on the landscape and how, in its turn, the landscape influenced the monastery. It also tests some of the traditional early ideals of the Cistercians such as their attitude to colonisation, land clearance, administration of their territory and dealings with secular society. This study also goes beyond the monastic period and examines what effect the suppression of the monastery had on the landscape and community. The research of monasteries has tended to be insular and concentrate on the recording of their standing fabric or the excavation of the church and conventual buildings; however, this thesis approaches the subject from a different perspective and examines not only the abbey but its territory using archaeology, architecture, documents and map evidence in a holistic, ‘landscape’ manner. In order to understand why the monks chose Chippenham Forest for their monastery the geomorphology of the region and the pre-monastic landscape is first assessed since it probably affected later colonisation. Using the earthwork survey plan of the abbey features within the precinct are identified. It is clear that, following its suppression, the west range of the abbey was converted into a mansion house with gardens and parkland beyond, which are revealed on the plan. Similarly, archaeological evidence would suggest that similar conversions were undertaken at some granges. The abbey’s granges were located in diverse locations; some were in isolated positions while others were on the edge of existing settlements. It is also clear that the monks held manors at an early date, but within some of these manors there were also granges, thus the monks held a compact blocks of land in severalty, but also owned the demesne with tenants owing dues to the abbot.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines Rievaulx abbey's relationship with its social environment from the foundation in 1132 to 1300. In particular it analyses social networks around this institution and the types of relationships with individuals, families and tenurial groups developed over the course of the first two hundred years of Rievaulx abbey's existence. Although the work focus primarily on Rievaulx abbey, comparative material from other Yorkshire houses as well as continental Cistercian houses is discussed. The core source is the cartulary of Rievaulx abbey. By a careful analysis of the distribution of information, its hierarchy according to certain inferable rules, and the relations between individual entries in the cartulary, this thesis shows how Rievaulx abbey understood the social networks of which this monastic house became a part, and how the monastic community saw its own place among the diverse social strata of twelfth-century Yorkshire. In the first chapter, issues of religious foundations, the motivations of patrons and their interpretations currently present in scholarship are discussed before the analysis of the troubled relationship between Rievaulx abbey and its patrons. The second chapter contains an examination of the interaction of the Cistercian monasteries with lay people in the respect of fraternities, burial requests and prayers as well as the implications of the abbey's landholding for its benefactors and their heirs. The central part of the thesis, in the second chapter examines the relationship of Rievaulx abbey with its lay neighbours and benefactors. The closing parts of this chapter are devoted to the complexities of land holding and the abbey's perception of its relationship with benefactors. Chapter three presents issues of monastic co-operation, conflict and the monopolist tendencies of religious houses before examining the place of Rievaulx abbey in relation to other monasteries in Yorkshire. The next chapter discusses Rievaulx abbey's contacts with archbishops, bishops, deans, chapters and canons in the wider context of the internal Church politics. The fifth, final chapter examines Rievaulx abbey's involvement in the wool trade and the consequences of its business with the Italian merchants on the background of historiographical interpretations of Cistercian economy and its involvement in the commercial world.

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche se concentre sur l'étude des reliures romanes de la bibliothèque de l'abbaye de Clairvaux, qui représente à l’heure actuelle la plus grande collection romane connue. Sur les 160 reliures étudiées, une série recouverte de peau de phoque a retenu notre attention. Si la collection de Clairvaux a conservé le plus grand nombre de chemises velues, l'ensemble de l’ordre cistercien semble en avoir fait largement usage au cours des XIIe et XIIIe siècles. Bien que la majeure partie de la collection ait été reliée de la même manière, seules 18 reliures de Clairvaux ont conservé leur état d'origine avec leurs chemises presque intactes. Ces dernières sont décrites dans les catalogues modernes comme étant de la peau de sanglier ou de cerf. Cependant, sous microscope, la distribution des follicules pileux ne correspond à aucun de ces deux animaux. En vue d’identifier l’origine animale des chemises, des analyses protéomiques et génomiques non invasives ont été menées. La première a permis d’identifier les peaux de pinnipèdes. L'utilisation de peaux de phoque en Champagne, à une distance considérable de la mer, est curieuse. De plus, il n'y a aucune preuve archéologique de populations de phoques sur les côtes françaises au Moyen Âge. Le séquençage ADN a en outre permis de résoudre la question de l’origine géographique de six documents, suggérant un commerce important de peaux de phoque comme marchandise, possiblement sur les foires de Champagne. L'étude biocodicologique des reliures permet de mesurer l’implication des cisterciens dans le commerce international, mais également d’appréhender l'aspect physique des manuscrits à l’origine. La collection romane de Clairvaux offre aussi l'opportunité d'étudier des reliures de provenance extérieure, comme celles réalisées pour le prince Henri dans un atelier urbain, ou encore les structures de voyage souples qui donnent une idée beaucoup plus large de la production de reliures romanes françaises de l’époqueThis research focuses on the study of Romanesque bindings from Clairvaux abbey’s library, which is the largest known Romanesque collection. Out of the 160 bindings studied, a series covered in sealskin drew our attention. While the Clairvaux collection retains the largest number of hairy chemises, the use of such material seems to have been widely employed by the Cistercian order during the 12th and 13th C. Although most of the collection would have been bound in the same way, only 18 Clairvaux bindings remain in their original state with their chemises almost intact. The chemises are described in modern catalogues as boar- or deer-skin. However, under magnified examination, the distribution of the hair follicle doesn’t match either animal. To try to identify the animal origin of the chemises we applied non-invasive proteomic and genomic analyses. Proteomic analysis identified the skins as belonging to pinnipeds. The use of seal skins in Champagne, at a considerable distance from the sea, is curious. In addition, there is no archaeological evidence of seal populations on the French coast in the middle ages. DNA sequences further resolved the geographical origin for six documents, suggesting an important trade in seal skins as a commodity, possibly at the Champagne fairs. The biocodicological study of the bindings helps us understand not only the extent of trading in which the Cistercians were involved but also the original physical appearance of the manuscripts. Clairvaux’s Romanesque collection also provides an opportunity to study bindings of external provenance, such as those made for Prince Henri in a city-based workshop, or limp travelling structures that give a broader idea of French Romanesque binding production of the time

When discovered by sport divers in 1970, the Mepkin Abbey shipwreck was immediately reported to the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology (SCIAA). The wreck was first investigated in 1980, and a preliminary report was published in 1981. The shipwreck is now part of 'The Cooper River Underwater Heritage Trail,' established in 1998. SCIAA archaeologists theorized that the wreck was the sloop Baker, owned in the late 1700s by American patriot and Mepkin Plantation owner Henry Laurens.
This thesis includes a description of the field research, drawings of the vessel, a scantling list, and a discussion of the artifacts recovered from the site which provided clues dating the vessel to the second quarter of the 19th century. The historical background of Mepkin Plantation is described, with a focus on how the craft may have been utilized. Finally, the thesis compares the wreck with other documented vessels from the same region and period, specifically: the Brown's Ferry vessel, Clydesdale Plantation sloop, and Malcolm boat.

Full textAbstract:
Torre Abbey was a rural Premonstratensian monastery in south-east Devon. Although in many ways atypical of its order, not least in the quality and quantity of its surviving source material, Torre provides an excellent case study of how a medium-sized medieval monastery interacted with the world around it, and how the abbey itself was affected by that interaction. Divided into three broad sections, this thesis first examines the role of local landowners and others as patrons of the house in the most obvious sense, that of the bestowal of lands or other assets upon the house. Torre was relatively successful in this regard, and an examination of the architectural and archaeological record indicates a continuation of that relationship after the thirteenth century. The second section notes areas of conflict with the laity. Disputes could and did arise over both temporal and spiritual affairs, as well as through the involvement of a number of lay figures in the administration and patronage of the house. In both respects, notable incidents in the mid-fourteenth century highlight the complexities of the canons’ relationships with the secular world. These are further explored in an analysis of the abbey’s role during the Hundred Years’ War and the Wars of the Roses, two conflicts which greatly affected the locality, but required vastly differing approaches by the canons. Finally, the effect of society on the canons themselves is considered. It is possible to recover some picture of their origins, both social and geographic, as well as some idea of the size of the community in the fifteenth century, and discuss the repercussions for an understanding of monastic recruitment. Finally, the dynamic of the community over the entire history of the abbey is considered in terms of the scattered source material, utilising both architectural and documentary evidence.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis offers a study of the female monastic house at Barking in Essex during the tenth and eleventh centuries. The survival of a large body of hagiographicalliterature produced for the nunnery at the end of the eleventh century which includes an account of the translation of the saints JEthelburg, Hildelith and Wulfhild, a Life of St JEthelburg, Lessons of St Hildelith and a Life and translation account of St Wulfhild, here enables an in-depth examination of Barking's experience ofthe most disruptive century in England's medieval history. Indications in the texts that the nunnery was subject to unwelcome intervention by a new Norman episcopacy are discussed in relation to the historiographical debate on Norman treatment of Anglo-Saxon saints and their communities. A theme of resistance to outside interference in the Barking hagiographies is also explored in relation to charter and Domesday evidence which suggest that the house had experienced depletion of their landed resources. But while the Barking hagiographies were produced in the eleventh century, there are elements of them which do not appear to respond to the contexts of that time. For that reason, the thesis will also explore earlier contexts at the nunnery, specifically those of Danish invasion, conquest and rule in the earlier eleventh century. There is also reason to examine the relationship between Barking and the queen, as one of the most striking tales in the Life of Wulfhild explicitly condemns the queen's interference at the nunnery. Barking's relationships with other female houses also requires consideration due to assertions in the Life of Wulfuild that Barking formed part of a wider group of royal nunneries. Barking's links to the nunnery of Horton appear to have been particularly strong, and may indicate a context of relic appropriation in the earlier eleventh century. The form and function of the Barking saints, alongside a consideration of authorship and audience, is also undertaken here in an effort to improve our understanding of the various uses of saints' cults and hagiography in the late Anglo-Saxon and early Anglo-Norman periods. Ultimately, the texts which celebrate the Barking saints reveal the nunnery's resistance to outside authority, especially at times of political regime change and church reform. This thesis will demonstrate that the saints of the female monastic house at Barking were employed at various points in the eleventh century to protect the community from encroachment of its resources, interference in its management, and threats to its most valuable assets, that is, the saints JEthelburg, Hildelith and Wulfhild.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an examination of the Cistercian abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560, and its place within Scottish society. The subject of medieval monasticism in Scotland has received limited scholarly attention and Coupar itself has been almost completely overlooked, despite the fact that the abbey possesses one of the best sets of surviving sources of any Scottish religious house. Moreover, in recent years, long-held assumptions about the Cistercian Order have been challenged and the validity of Order-wide generalisations disputed. Historians have therefore highlighted the importance of dedicated studies of individual houses and the need to incorporate the experience of abbeys on the European ‘periphery’ into the overall narrative. This thesis considers the history of Coupar in terms of three broadly thematic areas. The first chapter focuses on the nature of the abbey’s landholding and prosecution of resources, as well as the monks’ burghal presence and involvement in trade. The second investigates the ways in which the house interacted with wider society outside of its role as landowner, particularly within the context of lay piety, patronage and its intercessory function. The final chapter is concerned with a more strictly ecclesiastical setting and is divided into two parts. The first considers the abbey within the configuration of the Scottish secular church with regards to parishes, churches and chapels. The second investigates the strength of Cistercian networks, both domestic and international. Through the exploration of these varied aspects, this study demonstrates that while Coupar maintained a strong sense of Cistercian identity and a European outlook, it was also highly enmeshed in and profoundly influenced by its immediate environment. The nature of Coupar’s experience was shaped by its locality, just as the abbey, in turn, had a reciprocal impact on its surroundings. Coupar was both a Cistercian house and a distinctively Scottish abbey.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation considers the history of the organs in Westminster Abbey and the music performed on them from the eleventh century to the start of the twentieth. It is primarily based on the documentary evidence in Westminster Abbey Library and Muniment Room and transcriptions of material from here form a large part of the appendices. The thesis considers the organs built especially for the Abbey and temporary instruments used for coronations and other events. The organ builders represented include John Howe, Thomas Dallam, John Burwood, Bernard Smith, Christopher Shrider, Thomas Elliot and William Hill. The organists of Westminster Abbey include the composers Edmund Hooper, Orlando Gibbons, John Blow, Henry Purcell, William Croft, Benjamin Cooke and James Turle. Compositions they wrote while in post are used as sources of information about the organ, and are related to the details of the instrument found in documentary and secondary sources. The compositions are used to evaluate these details when appropriate. A new edition of Benjamin Cooke's organ voluntaries and his Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in G form part of the dissertation. The voluntaries appear together here for the first time in a modern edition. The choral repertoire is discussed with reference to part books used in the Abbey from the Restoration until the beginning of the twentieth century and to a catalogue of printed music in the choir library compiled around 1905. The role of the organ in the liturgical life of the Abbey is considered, and the political events which affected this are introduced and discussed. Coronation services take place in the Abbey. The music performed at these from Charles II to Victoria is established as far as possible from service books in Lambeth Palace Library and other sources. The musical forces available at coronations are discussed, including organs built in the Abbey especially for these events

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this work is to read Jane Austen’s novel Northanger Abbey from different perspectives, indeed the work is divided into three chapters and each one focuses on a different aspect. The first analyses the differences and the similarities between the novel and the two literary genres it parodies, the sentimental and the Gothic. The references are both to the literary theory and to the episodes of the story which take place in the two settings of the novel, Bath and the Abbey. The focus will be mainly on the protagonist’s behaviour but other characters as Isabella Thorpe will be taken into account as long as they represent a meaningful example for the parodied genre. The second chapter provides a detailed examination of the characters, starting from Catherine Morland and Henry Tilney and their love story; continuing with a comparison between the Thorpes and the Tilneys siblings, as representative of opposing values; to conclude with the villain of the novel, the General, and his complex relationship with his children Henry, Eleanor and Frederick. Finally, the last chapter first discusses the protagonist’s intellectual growth inside the novel, and then explores the psychological insight of the reading process, based on a psychoanalytic study applied to literary theory. The conclusions locate Jane Austen’s defence of novels and of novel readers in the historical background of the 18th century, with particular attention dedicated to her role as a female writer.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this project is to gain an understanding of the daily lives of nuns in an English nunnery by examining a particular prominent abbey. This study also attempts to update the history of the abbey by incorporating methods and theories used by recent historians of women's monasticism, as well as recent archaeological evidence found at the abbey site. By including specific examinations of Barking Abbey's last nuns, as well as the nuns' artistic and cultural pursuits, this thesis expands the scholarship of the abbey's history into areas previously unexplored. This thesis begins with a look at the nuns of Barking Abbey. the social status of their secular families, and how that status may have defined life in the abbey. It also looks at how Barking fit into the larger context of English women's monasticism based on the social provenance of its nuns. The analysis then turns to the nuns' daily temporal and spiritual responsibilities, focusing on the nuns' liturgical lives as well as the work required for the efficient maintenance of the house. Also covered is the relationship the abbey and its nuns had with their local lay community. This is followed by an examination of cultural activity at the abbey with discussion of books and manuscripts, music, singing, procession, and various other art forms. The final chapter examines the abbey's dissolution in 1539 under Henry VIII's religious reforms, including the dissolution's effect on some of the abbey's last nuns.

Full textAbstract:
Unearthing Edward Abbey's spiritual philosophy is not an easy task. One must sift through Abbey's humor, sort through Cactus Ed's flamboyant character, look under the veneer of this character, and beyond Abbey's overt objective of convincing readers to defy the destruction of wilderness, and only then does the spiritual philosophy of Abbey become visible. To understand his perception of spirituality, one must define what constitutes a mystic and determine what American theological philosophies mystics tend to adopt. Once these are defined, one can apply those principles to Abbey's Desert Solitaire, and determine that Abbey is a nature mystic who adheres to the ecocentric based immanence theology. This theology is contrary to the Judeo-Christian based emanation theology which supports anthropocentricism and resourcism.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the complex significance of Glastonbury Abbey, Somerset, and puts forward a new interpretation strategy for the site. It sits alongside the Glastonbury Abbey Archaeological Excavation Archive Project, which is reinterpreting the unpublished records 0137 seasons of fieldwork at the site (Gilchrist and Green to be published 2013). In this thesis I explore the ways in which the site's intangible cultural heritage has influenced the interpretation of archaeological data. Since the medieval period Glastonbury Abbey has been the focal point for a complex nexus of myths e.g. it is famed as the burial place of King Arthur and the site of the first church in England, built by Joseph of Arimathea. The revival of these myths in the late 19th century by the 'Avalonians' reignited spiritual interest in the site and the town. Glastonbury has continued to 'call' people who connect to its spiritual energy, and today it is a haven of alternative culture and spirituality. , This research explores the potential for the wider application of'multi-vocal' archaeological techniques used at contested prehistoric ites such as c;atalh6yuk and Stonehenge (Hodder 2000; Bender 1998). It represents an example of ' hybrid fieldwork', using ethnographic and heritage techniques to examine the social impact of archaeological research (Meske11201 0). This kind of research has largely been championed outside of the UK, and is rarely applied to medieval and/or Christian sites. Using ethnographic interviews, this thesis examines the contemporary significance of the site, and explores the ethical challenges that this presents for archaeologists and heritage professionals. It concludes by interrogating the academic and public representations of medieval monasteries and asks how we might innervate practice whilst respecting the views of spiritual stakeholders.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates three manuscripts of Fountains Abbey, all connected with the vast agricultural activities of the house. It is argued that each manuscript fulfilled a specific role in the management of the landed estate, as elements in a chain of information—gathering which underpinned the monastery's ability to conduct coherent decision-making over the four centuries of its existence. Analysis is set within the context of monastic record-keeping, and addresses a less-researched period of the history of Fountains Abbey, the long fourteenth century. An integrated analytical technique is applied to each manuscript, in which details of format and composition are first examined individually and then compositely; subsequently the results for each manuscript are compared. To provide a focus for comparison, the estate of Malham in Craven is selected, which may stand as proxy for similar estates; the combined information from the three manuscripts reveals how the abbey assembled and subsequently reshaped its operations in Malham, and how it exercised control through the manorial and byrlaw courts. The manuscript analysis reveals the use of an extensive system of cross-referencing to other documents, from which at least two additional cartularies, previously unknown, are identified. No firm conclusion can be drawn on the origin and purpose of the manuscripts, but circumstantial evidence points to some association with the abbatial election dispute of 1410 to 1416.
