上帝的细胞：作为囚犯的基督和基督监狱的朝圣之旅

耶路撒冷老城圣墓教堂的后面有一个小礼拜堂。与教堂的其他部分不同，这座教堂通常安静、平静，游客或朝圣者相对较少。 1 这个教堂是“基督的监狱”（图1）；据说，从中世纪至今，耶稣在被钉十字架之前一直被关押在这里。在中世纪文化中，封闭的牢房——无论是修道院、隐士还是监狱——是一种基督教英雄主义出现的典型场景之一，尽管是有限的，包括孤立、拘留、受害者和恩典。耶路撒冷基督监狱毗邻中世纪世界中心的最圣地，是一处独一无二的珍贵场所，朝圣者在这里思考恩典、救赎、被囚禁的个体以及灵魂的净化和提升。在这篇文章中，我记录了该遗址的出现、西方朝圣者对该遗址的了解以及他们对该遗址的使用。然后，我探讨了基督被监禁的虔诚和文化意义，展示了东方旅行和西方报告文学之间的动态相互作用，其中文本和材料站点相互支持，共同创造了一个理想化的圣地。基督的监狱在中世纪绝非无足轻重的好奇心。关于它的描述出现在一些最广泛阅读的耶路撒冷朝圣者和旅行者指南中。就西欧对基督监狱的认识而言，特别重要的是约翰福音中提到的事实
At the rear of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem’s Old City is a small chapel; unlike the rest of the church, this chapel is usually quiet, calm, and relatively little visited by tourists or pilgrims. 1 This chapel is the “Prison of Christ”(Fig. 1); here, from the Middle Ages to the present day, Jesus has been said to have been held before he was crucified. In medieval culture, an enclosed cell—be it monastic, anchoritic, or in prison—was one of the paradigmatic, if liminal, scenes for the emergence of a kind of Christian heroism comprising isolation, detention, victimhood, and grace. Adjacent to the most holy place at the center of the medieval world, the Jerusalem Prison of Christ was a uniquely precious site in which pilgrims thought about grace, redemption, the imprisoned individual, and the soul’s purgation and ascent. In this essay I chart the site’s emergence, the kinds of knowledge Western pilgrims had about it, and the uses they made of the site. I then explore the devotional and cultural meanings of Christ’s imprisonment, showing the dynamic interplay between Eastern travels and Western reportage in which texts and material sites supported each other in the production of an idealized Holy Land. The Prison of Christ was by no means a marginal curiosity in the Middle Ages; accounts of it appear in some of the most widely read guides for pilgrims and travelers to Jerusalem. In terms of the Western European knowledge of the Prison of Christ, particularly important is the fact that it is mentioned in John
