medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From: Emilia Jamroziak <[log in to unmask]>
> Does anybody know about any work that would discuss Cistercians who became
bishops in the 13th century? There is a very good book by Martha Newman on
that theme (and more) in the 12th c, and an article by Brian McGuire, but I
cannot locate any discussion on the situation in the following century.
> Any suggestions?
i was sorry to see that you got no response to this querry, Emilia, but
appreciated very much your turning me on to Martha Newman
Newman, Martha G. The boundaries of charity: Cistercian culture and
ecclesiastical reform, 1098-1180. Stanford University Press, 1996. =? The
boundaries of charity: the Cistercians in twelfth-century society. [Thesis
(Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 1988. Photocopy. Ann Arbor: UMI Dissertation
Information Service, 1989.]
and _____, trans. “On the conduct and office of bishops. Contemplative
Virtues and the Active Life of Prelates” in Bernard, of Clairvaux, Saint, On
baptism and the office of bishops, on the conduct and office of bishops, on
baptism and other questions: two letter-treatises, translated by Pauline
Matarasso ; introductions by Martha G. Newman and Emero Stiegman. Kalamazoo,
Mich. : Cistercian Publications, 2004.

true to form, Indiana U. has managed to loose our copy of Boundries.
the only thing i can think of is that there's an outside possibility that
there might be something of general interest in Marcel Pacaut's bibliography
in his study of episcopal elections in the reign of Louis VII.
what's the ref for the McGuire article?
my own interest in the area is in St. Bernie's role in first recruiting Louis'
kid brother, Henry D. France, into Clairvaux (a quite spectacular "conversion"
apparently, and one which resonated within and without the Order for
generations thereafter) and then --after a short three years-- in convincing
Henry to go back into the World to become Bishop of Beauvais (and, later, AB
of Reims).
for this purpose i've found this to be of use:
Veyssière, Laurent. “Le personnel de l’abbayede Clairvaux au XIIe
siècle,” Cîteaux, Commentarii Cistercienses, LI, 2000, pp. 17-90.
(which is an expanded update of a project begun by Jean Leclercq in the '50s)
if you had one of these for c. 13, you'd be Home Free.
alas, i don't know that such an animal exists.
going to Kalamazoo in early May and asking the folks at the Cistercian
sessions might be of some help --if, indeed, there is any possibility of
help.
but, those Cistercians seem to be hanging out a Leeds these daze as well, so
that might be a bit closer to home for you.
the Terryl Kinder/David Bell network is the one you want to tap into.
