Book Description
The Humanist's Devotional connects quotations and aphorisms to build a conversation between voices from ancient to modern times, a conversation that asserts a humanism that's bravely authentic, with a message that our world is absolutely and wonderfully fascinating. The result is a book of daily devotionals, or meditations, that are not centered on a god or religion, but on a mindset: humanism as a function of learned history and a coping mechanism for a hectic and unnerving world.

The Reproductive Unconscious in Late Medieval and Early Modern England
Author: Jennifer Wynne Hellwarth
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136720855
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Drawing together social and medical history and literary studies, The Reproductive Unconscious in Late Medieval and Early Modern England studies the social practices and metaphorical representations of childbirth in medieval and early modern texts and argues for the existence of a reproductive unconscious. Discussing midwifery treatises, obstetrical and gynecological manuals, and devotional texts written for or by women, the author illustrates the ways in which medieval and early modern men and women negotiated a conflict between the ideological and material need of the culture for them to procreate, and an ideological injunction that they remain virginal and non-procreative.

Provost Georg Muestinger and the Introduction of the Raudnitz Reform into Stift Klosterneuburg, 1418 - ca. 1421
Author: Clemens T. Galban
Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 3643911971
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The Council of Constance and the conclusion of the Papal Schism released long pent-up energies of reform throughout the Church and in the religious Orders in particular. The Austrian Visitation of 1418/19 which propelled Georg Muestinger to the highest position in Stift Klosterneuburg and introduced the Raudnitz Reform of canons regular into his ancient monastery, illustrates how these energies both cooperated and competed with each other to achieve a reform of religious life. The centerpiece of this work is the introduction of the Raudnitz Statutes into the monastery and Muestinger's adaptation of that legislation.
