- A Painted Bookbinding for a Controversial DevotionPublication . Cardoso, Paula; Instituto de Estudos Medievais (IEM); Brill Academic PublishersThe Museum of Aveiro/Santa Joana, in Aveiro, northern Portugal, has, among the liturgical books that once belonged to the Dominican Convent of Jesus in that city, a fifteenth-century antiphonary whose binding was replaced in the early seventeenth century and decorated with what I argue is a representation of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. Although the presence of such a theme on the cover of a Dominican liturgical book would be striking, since the Dominicans were opposed to the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, an analysis of the liturgical texts of the convent and other elements of material culture that testify to the religious practice of this community show that, despite the controversy surrounding the immaculist doctrine among the Dominicans, devotion to the Immaculate Conception was deeply rooted in the history of Jesus of Aveiro, and local traditions could sometimes prevail over the doctrine of the order, even in Observant communities.
- Civic heraldry and space in medieval Portuguese townsPublication . Seixas, Miguel Metelo; Instituto de Estudos Medievais (IEM); Ediciones Universidad SalamancaTraditionally, heraldic studies have focused on the symbolic dimension of the signs they analyze. However, considering the nature of these signs —forms of selfrepresentation and visual communication— they can and should be studied not only in their abstract dimension, but also or above all in their concrete use. Each plastic expression of given arms encapsulates specific references, related to factors such as their location, which define the heraldic message’s targets, observers, and commentators. This article proposes a comparative reflection regarding the location of stones with arms in medieval Portuguese towns, covering a specific heraldic typology: the arms of the municipalities themselves. We demonstrate how Portuguese municipal heraldry was used for the demarcation and symbolic appropriation of urban space during the medieval period.
- Religious Women and Liturgy in a Fifteenth-Century Portuguese CodexPublication . Cardoso, Paula; Instituto de Estudos Medievais (IEM); De GruyterThe problem of whether Dominican nuns adopted the order's official liturgy, implemented in 1256, remains a complex topic. The rarity of liturgical sources containing instructions for the performance of religious ceremonies in female communities hinders the study of this subject. This is complicated by the fact that a substantial number of these texts were redacted in the masculine form, thus not reflecting the reality of the nuns' performance. Analysis of a codex from the Dominican convent of Jesus of Aveiro (1491), containing gendered vernacular versions of the ordines for the nuns' reception and profession ceremonies, can contribute to further clarification of this issue. Through comparison with surviving ordines from other territories (Spain and Italy), this study shows how, in the particular case of these ceremonies, female communities adapted and deviated from the friars' liturgy in order to mirror and respond to their own identities and realities, which, as will be shown, varied from convent to convent and revealed different degrees of autonomy and enclosure.
- Ricostruire una rete di circolazioni e committenze domenicanePublication . Bilotta, Maria Alessandra; Instituto de Estudos Medievais (IEM); University of BolognaI manoscritti presentati in questo contributo, ms. lat. 362 e ms. lat. 16905, conservati nella Bibliothèque nationale de France, sono stati finora trascurati dagli storici dell’arte. L’analisi stilistica dell’apparato illustrativo e decorativo di questi codici, condotta in questo studio, ha permesso di attribuirli all’anonimo miniatore detto Maestro del Decreto di Avignone (dal più importante manoscritto da lui miniato, Avignone, Bibliothèque Municipale, Ms. 659). Questo miniatore, formatosi verosimilmente a Tolosa, attivo tra il 1320 e il 1350, ha molto probabilmente lavorato per i Domenicani della città.
- In search of new monastic identitiesPublication . Lopes, Paulo Esmeraldo Catarino; Instituto de Estudos Medievais (IEM); Editora da PUC-SPEste artigo considera como o abade reformista Estêvão de Aguiar, em estreita associação com a coroa portuguesa, conseguiu a coexistência de duas noções antagônicas no comando da principal casa cisterciense de Portugal: o ideal cisterciense de Santa Maria de Alcobaça como Domus Spiritualis e a realidade temporal de uma comunidade onde a viagem e a circulação eram vitais.
- Municipal rents in private handsPublication . Rosa, Catarina; Instituto de Estudos Medievais (IEM); Universidad Complutense de MadridEn la segunda mitad del siglo XIV, el arrendamiento de las rentas municipales a particulares predominaba en la mayoría de los concejos portugueses. En el presente artículo estudiaremos este sistema de recaudación de rentas en dos centros urbanos: Porto y Loulé, en el período comprendido entre finales del siglo XIV y principios del siglo XVI. En particular, pretendemos determinar el perfil sociológico de los arrendatarios de los directos municipales que operaban en estos dos contextos urbanos, así como su relación con el poder local y la administración real. En última instancia, intentaremos identificar dinámicas de movilidad social vinculadas a la participación en este negocio, mientras reflexionando sobre si el arrendamiento de las rentas funcionaba como plataforma de ascenso social o como una consecuencia de ya pertenecer a la élite que dominaba el poder urbano. Para alcanzar estos resultados, analizaremos libros de cuentas y actas de las reuniones concejiles.
- Addenda al corpus del Maestro del Decreto di Avignone (Avignone, BM, Ms. 659), attivo a Tolosa intorno alla metà del XIV secoloPublication . Bilotta, Maria Alessandra; Instituto de Estudos Medievais (IEM); University of BolognaIl manoscritto presentato in questo contributo, un Liber Sextus conservato presso la Library of Congress di Washington DC (Ms. 28), è stato finora trascurato dagli storici dell'arte. L’analisi stilistica dell’apparato illustrativo e decorativo del manoscritto, condotta in questo studio, ha permesso di attribuirlo all’anonimo miniatore detto Maestro del Decreto di Avignone (dal più importante manoscritto da lui miniato, Avignone, Bibliothèque Municipale, Ms. 659), come rivelano le fisionomie dei volti dei personaggi raffigurati nel manoscritto. Questo miniatore, formatosi verosimilmente a Tolosa, attivo tra il 1320 e il 1350, ha molto probabilmente avuto dei legami con i Domenicani della città.
- L’archevêque Lourenço Vicente et les partages héraldiques au Portugal à la fin du XIVe sièclePublication . Seixas, Miguel Metelo; Portugal, João; Instituto de Estudos Medievais (IEM); Institución Fernando el CatólicoThis text is about the heraldic usages of Lourenço Vicente, Archbishop of Braga and advisor of King John I of Portugal, interpreting them within the framework of medieval practices of sharing emblems, as a manifestation of solidarity and communion of projects or devotions. In the case in question, the symbolism and uses of the heraldic rose are highlighted, particularly in the Portuguese scene of the late fourteenth century.
- Shared Heraldry and the Sacred SpacePublication . de Seixas, Miguel Metelo; Instituto de Estudos Medievais (IEM); Universidad Complutense de MadridThis study considers the practice of shared heraldry as an instrument of affirmation of late-medieval monarchies, examining the case study of King João I of Portugal. The study of how this sovereign's heraldry was shared with those close to him illustrates how heraldry was understood as an instrument of propaganda for the cause of independence, in the context of the 1383-1385 dynastic crisis, and subsequently in building the imagery of the King and the dynasty he founded. The transposition of this heraldry to the Monastery of Batalha, erected to commemorate the victory at Aljubarrota and later a dynastic necropolis, established a privileged relationship with this monument's architecture and iconography, expanding the same theme of shared heraldry (now in a dynastic context) as an expression of the royal power's legitimacy.
- Reviving the forma vitaePublication . Cardoso, Paula; Instituto de Estudos Medievais (IEM); Routledge | Taylor & Francis GroupInitiated in Burgundy in the early fifteenth century by Colette of Corbie (1381–1447), the Colettine reforms soon expanded to eastern Iberia, reaching Portugal by the end of the century. In this paper I show how the context in which the first Colettine convents were founded in Portugal–a time when Clarissan reform was struggling to take the first steps in this territory and Colette’s endeavours were still a novelty–was reflected in the efforts developed by these communities and their patrons to promote a Colettine identity through the translation and use of a set of normative and para-normative texts, which would become the Colettines’ textual support in Portugal. I also demonstrate that these efforts were accompanied by the promotion of Colette of Corbie’s figure and sanctity through art.
