Lay religious cultures in the legend of St Julien, 1220-70

我的哲学博士项目，“奠定圣朱利安，1220- 70年的传说宗教文化”，是由OOC-AHRC-DTP与克拉伦登基金和牛津大学沃德姆学院牛津-理查兹奖学金合作资助的圣朱利安“医院骑士”传奇的历史探索。尽管一些圣朱利安文本的文学品质已经证明是学术辩论的肥沃土壤，但圣朱利安的传说迄今尚未从历史的角度进行探讨。通过我的博士研究，我希望第一次弥合这一学术差距。2021年，奥格登呼吁我们的圣徒传源材料多样化，以避免对女性和性别越界的圣徒保持一种占主导地位的“单一解释立场”（教会厌女症）。我的哲学博士项目在某种程度上是对这一呼吁的回应，因为通过我的研究，我希望为对13世纪世俗宗教文化感兴趣的历史学家提供一个有质感的案例研究，研究一种替代这一时期占主导地位的隐士和修道院模式的神圣模式。在朱利安的传说中，圣洁反而是建立在婚姻制度的基础上，并在一个世俗的社区环境中表达出来。我认为，这个传奇在1220- 1270年间在法国的流行为当代世俗观众的宗教文化关注、兴趣和价值观提供了一条有价值的途径。我的研究项目将利用一系列与朱利安传奇密切相关的图像、文本和物品，这些都是在1220- 1270年间制作的。这包括白话诗Vie de Saint Julien（保存在MS 3516，fos。84 r-96 r的阿森纳图书馆），这是我的MStresearch项目的主题，以及相关的朱利安文本，如白话散文La Vie Saint Julien martir和theLegenda Aurea。我还将利用彩色玻璃的传奇序列，如鲁昂和沙特雷斯的大教堂中展示的那些，并调查其他视觉来源（例如，巴黎加朗德芸香街42号的浮雕），和相关宗教场所（如圣朱利安教堂）。通过仔细阅读这些资料，我希望探索如何与其他文化代码的相互作用-如那些有关性别和社会群体-在非修道院的环境中塑造了虔诚的表达方式。一个人如何在“世界上“过圣洁的生活的问题例如，圣朱利安的传说就准备提供一系列可能富有成效的答案。我还打算解开朱利安的妻子克拉丽丝这个人物的重要性，其目前的默默无闻是她的不包括在传说的19世纪文学复兴的后果，从而misrepresentsthe传说的意义，以13世纪的观众。在纠正这种扭曲的过程中，我的研究将开启对该传说复杂的性别和性内涵的进一步讨论，从而有助于增强我们对该地区和该时期俗家妇女宗教角色的理解。尽管我主要感兴趣的是当代与该传说的互动如何被用来阐明文化历史意义的问题，我的工作与文学和翻译研究奖学金，以及宗教，艺术，性别和性的历史进行跨学科对话。它还从微观历史传统中得到了重要的启示。因此，我的研究方法将涉及细读，“坚持语境”（金兹伯格：1993），关注历史主体的“社会嵌入性”（加尼尔：1991），以及使用交叉和主体间的分析镜头

My DPhil project, 'Lay religious cultures in the legend of St Julien, 1220-70', is a historical exploration of thelegend of St Julien "The Hospitaller" funded by the OOC-AHRC-DTP in collaboration with the ClarendonFund and the Oxford-Richards scholarship at Wadham College, Oxford. Though the literary qualities of someSt Julien texts have proven fertile ground for academic debate, the legend of St Julien has heretofore remainedunexplored from historical perspective. With my DPhil research, I hope to bridge this scholarly gap for thefirst time.In 2021, Ogden called for a diversification of our hagiographical source materials in order to avoidperpetuating one dominant 'single interpretative stance' (ecclesiastical misogyny) on female and gendertransgressive saints. My DPhil project is in part a response to this call, as through my research I hope toprovide historians interested in thirteenth-century lay religious cultures with a textured case study of a modelof sanctity alternative to the eremitic and monastic models otherwise dominant in this period. In the Julienlegend, sanctity is instead grounded in the institution of marriage and expressed within a lay communitycontext. I contend that the legend's explosion in popularity in France through 1220-70 thus provides avaluable way-in to the religio-cultural preoccupations, interests and values of contemporary lay audiences.My research project will draw on a range of closely contemporaneous images, texts and objects, all associatedwith the Julien legend and produced between 1220-70. This includes the vernacular verse Vie de Saint Julien(preserved in MS 3516, fos. 84r-96r of the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal), which was the subject of my MStresearch project, and related Julien texts such as the vernacular prose La Vie Saint Julien martir, and theLegenda Aurea. I will also draw on stained-glass sequences of the legend, such as those displayed in thecathedrals of Rouen and Chartres, and investigate other visual sources (e.g. the relief at 42 Rue Galande,Paris), and related religious sites (e.g. churches of St Julien).Through close-reading of these sources I hope to explore how interactions with other cultural codes - such asthose pertaining to gender and social grouping - shaped the articulation of piety in non-monastic settings.The question of how one might live a holy life "in the world" (when so many contemporary hagiographicalexamples were predicated on one's removal from it), for instance, is one to which the legend of St Julien ispoised to provide a range of potentially fruitful answers.I also intend to unpack the significance of the figure of Clarisse, Julien's wife, whose present obscurity is aconsequence of her non-inclusion in the legend's nineteenth-century literary revival, and thus misrepresentsthe legend's significance to thirteenth-century audiences. In correcting this distortion, my research will openup further discussion of the legend's complex gendered and sexual connotations, and thereby help to enhanceour understanding of the religious role of laywomen in this region and period.Though I am primarily interested in how contemporary interactions with this legend can be used to illuminatequestions of cultural-historical significance, my work sits in interdisciplinary dialogue with literary andtranslation study scholarship, as well as with histories of religion, art, gender, and sexuality. It also takessignificant inspiration from the microhistorical tradition. My research methodologies will consequentlyinvolve close-reading, an 'insistence on context' (Ginzburg:1993), a concern with the 'social embeddedness'(Gagnier:1991) of historical agents, and the use of intersectional and intersubjective lenses of analysis
