medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture From: Karl Brunner <[log in to unmask]> >> Jésus-Christ apparut à la place de l’hostie, sous la forme d’un enfant. > I know this kind of legend as "Gregorsmesse" (concerning a mass in Santa Croce in Gerusalemme in Rome) thank you Karl. my first impression was, indeed, that it was some sort of topos. but i was curious about Guyotjeannin's use of the term “cult eucharistique” or your "Hostienfrömmigkeit", which you note was "indeed increasing in the 12th cent." in other words, was it just that the miraculous topos was becoming more common, or was there more to it, i.e., was there some kind of "institutionalized" "cult eucharistique," as we sometimes see with the "cult" of a particular saint? perhaps it is not clear in my own mind what it is that i am asking. sorry. thanks again. c ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
