Eliana > Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 19:12:45 +0100 > From: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [M-R] ADMIN Now we are XV > To: [log in to unmask] > > medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture > > Early in 1995, Carolyn Muessig was settling into her new position as > Downside Research Fellow in Medieval Religion at the University of > Bristol's Department of Theology and Religious Studies. It had always > been her view that medieval culture could best be understood through > its religious understanding of things, and that a scholarly > discussion list dedicated primarily to this could, and should, be > established. Such a list would complement discussions on excellent > lists such as mediev-l, medtextl and others. > > So, she talked about this with me, and with Ian Wei, who at that time > was head of the university's Centre for Medieval Studies. Soon the > three of us became the founding 'owners' of medieval-religion. > > Our first member joined us from Norway, and we have now 720 members > on the list from over 30 nations. Our list has been for some time > among the busier and more scholarly of lists devoted to the Middle > Ages, but more importantly we have, overall, remained a friendly and > generously helpful bunch. > > The character of the list is due in no small part to those who have > participated as list owners in the past, particularly Ian Wei, Dave > Postles and Otfried Lieberknecht (and Carolyn, of course). (I hope > that soon we may have an additional owner or two, to help us out and > to keep the list going.) Thanks also are due to those who have, over > the years, contributed to some of our ongoing features: our 'feast' > messages (especially Carolyn, Phyllis Jestice and of course John > Dillon), and our 'recent titles' postings (take a bow, Tom Izbicki). > The biggest 'thank you' of all goes to each member, past and present, > who has made the list what it is. > > The medieval-religion list was formally established on 2 June 1995, > so today marks our 15th birthday.
