Description
This panel provides a forum to bring together disparate scholarship on important twelfth century figures from the geographical region of the Rhineland. Three promising papers will highlight three important figures: Daniel Yingst will take Honorius Augustodunensis' pedagogical project of mnemonic re-mapping of the student within a christianized cosmos to bear upon the larger twelfth century discourse on 'natura.' Mark Roosien will examine Hildegard of Bingen's theorization of liturgical music, specifically the singing of the Divine Office, as a necessary and irreplaceable feature of liturgy, despite the large twelfth century practices that appear to depreciate music and to set the Divine Office within increasingly individualized practices. Matthew Vanderpoel will offer a re-interpretation of Elizabeth as a mature theologian, blurring the neat distinction between scholastic and mystical theological discourses.
