1 What is medieval-religion?
Medieval-religion is an on-line list that provides a forum for discussions
related to religious life and thought in Europe from late antiquity to the
early modern period. Our aim is to encourage interdisciplinary links
between related fields and areas of research including (for example) art
history, codicology, hagiography, history, literature (sacred and profane,
Latin and vernacular), liturgy, philosophy, sermon studies, and theology.
When a subscriber sends a message to the list, it is automatically sent
out to all the other subscribers. Typically, a contributor will raise a
question arising from his or her research, to which several other
subscribers will reply. Often, these replies can differ, laying the
groundwork for instructive debate and stimulating further participation
from other subscribers.
In addition to such discussions, information about bibliographical matters
and new publications will be posted.
English is the primary working language of the list, but postings may be
in any language.
This unmoderated list is sponsored by the Centre for Medieval Studies of
the University of Bristol.
2 How to post a message
This is not a guide specifically geared to any particular mail software;
rather, it gives essential information relevant to all subscribers.
a) addresses
If you wish to post a message to the list, the correct address is
[log in to unmask]
If you wish to send a message to the listowners, the correct address is
[log in to unmask]
b) subject line
The subject line should be succinct and descriptive. If over the course of
a discussion the main subject in question should change significantly,
please alter the subject line accordingly.
c) text of message
This is where you submit your query, response, opinion or other
information to the list. Given practical computing problems, omission of
accents is acceptable (and will not be considered a sign of scholarly
sloppiness).
We hope many experts in different fields will be among us, and that simple
questions posted to the list will be answered with generosity.
If a subscriber is in doubt regarding the suitability of posting a message
which may relate to a commercial undertaking, please consult the
listowners for their advice. If the listowners agree to the message's
suitability, it should then be posted with a brief notice stating that the
message has been discussed with the listowners.
3 How to consult previous messages
One may consult previous messages by one of three methods: e-mail, gopher,
or World Wide Web.
a) e-mail
Messages to this list are archived into groups, according to the month in
which they were sent. Thus, if one wishes to consult messages posted in
the month of June 1995, one would send a message to
[log in to unmask]
with the message
send medieval-religion 1995-06
One would then receive all messages posted on the list during that month.
b) gopher
Enter the following address:
gopher://nisp.ncl.ac.uk:70/11/lists-k-o/medieval-religion
This will bring one directly to the gopher menu for this list; here, one
can choose 'Mail Archives', then choose an appropriate option.
c) World Wide Web
Point to the Mailbase Home Page, at
http://mailbase.ac.uk
Under the heading 'The Discussion Lists...', click on 'Mailbase Lists-K-O'.
Click on 'medieval-religion', then on 'Mail Archives'. Here, choose a
month of messages you wish to examine; then choose the relevant messages.
Of the three options noted here, most people will find this final option
the most convenient.

Here, for example, are the listowners' messages:
George Ferzoco, Centre for Medieval Studies, University of Bristol
I am interested in the development of saints' cults in the later middle
ages, particularly with regard to processes of canonization and to related
sermon literature. I have published on the hagiographical dossier of Peter
of Morrone (Pope Celestine V), and am working on editions of relevant
works composed by, or directed to, the papal curia.
Ian Wei, Centre for Medieval Studies, University of Bristol
My research is concerned with the role of intellectuals in medieval
society. I focus on the political and social views of masters of theology
at the University of Paris in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth
centuries, particularly as expressed in quodlibetal disputations. My
recent and forthcoming publications examine the authority and status of
these masters. More generally, I work on the intellectual, cultural and
social history of Western Europe, c.1000 - c.1350.
