medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear medieval-religion colleagues,
For what it's worth (not much!), I've touched on this topic a couple
of times. Most recently I returned to it briefly in 'Preaching,
Canonization and New Cults of Saints in the Later Middle Ages', in
Nicole Bériou and Franco Morenzoni, eds, *Prédication et liturgie au
Moyen Âge*, Bibliothèque d'Histoire Culturelle du Moyen Âge 5
(Turnhout: Brepols, 2008), 297-312. In a nutshell, what I say in
these articles is: the more obscure the feast of the Franciscan or
Dominican saint, the less likely the other order would be to devote a
sermon to it.
Don't forget the tradition of Franciscans being invited to Dominican
houses to preach the feast of Dominic, and the Dominicans being
invited chez les franciscains to preach the feast of Francis. This
practice is mirrored in Dante's Paradiso, where in the Heaven of the
Wise, the Dominican Thomas Aquinas speaks of Francis, and über-
Franciscan Bonaventure speaks of Dominic.
Oh yes: Cordelia Warr and Carolyn Muessig have jointly organized a
session on medieval stigmatists for the 2009 meeting of the Medieval
Academy of America in Chicago.
