  Saint Birgitta of Sweden (1303–1373), one of the most powerful visionary women from the late Middle Ages, was celebrated as a prophet and a sibyl long into seventeenth century. A common suggestion has been that Birgitta’s prophetic status was crafted by her supporters after her death. My claim, however, is that the construction of the prophet was the result of a highly conscious strategy which followed Birgitta from the very beginning of her visionary career, and to which both her supporters and she herself carefully contributed. We meet the traces of such a construction in the earliest hagiographers’ accounts, in the confessors’ ardent supports, and in the many witnesses from the canonization process. Yet, the strongest testimonies of the prophet in spe, is to be found in Birgitta’s own revelations, which is the focus of this article.

  Birgitta of Sweden (Birgitta Birgersdotter, 1302/03-1373) and her younger contemporary Catherine of Siena (Caterina Benincasa, 1347-1380) form the most powerful and influential female duo in European history. Both enjoyed saintly reputations in life, while acting as the charismatic leaders of a considerable group of followers consisting of clergy as well as mighty secular men and women. They are also among the very few women of the Trecento to leave a substantial body of written work which was widely disseminated in their original languages and in translations. Copies of Birgitta’s Liber celestis revelacionum (The Heavenly Book of Revelations) and compilations of Catherine's letters (Le lettere), prayers Le orazioni) and her theological work, Il Dialogo della divina Provvidenza (The Dialogue) found their way into monastic, royal, and humanist libraries all over Europe. After their deaths, Birgitta’s and Catherine’s respective groups of supporters sought to have them formally canonized. In both cases, however, their political and theological outspokenness, orally and in text, and their public authority represented obstacles.　 In this comparative study, leading scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds offer, for the very first time, a comprehensive exploration of the lives and activities of Birgitta and Catherine in tandem. Particular attention is given to their literary works and the complex process of negotiating their sanctity and authorial roles. Above all, what the chapters reveal is the many points of connections between two of the most influential women of the Trecento, and how they were related to one another by their peers and successors.

  St Birgitta of Sweden (d. 1373) is one of the most celebrated female visionaries and authors of the Middle Ages and a central figure in the history of late-medieval religion. An aristocratic widow, Birgitta left her native country in 1349 and settled in Rome, where she established herself as an outspoken critic of the Avignon Papacy and an advocate of spiritual and ecclesiastical reform. Birgitta founded a new monastic order, and her major work, The Heavenly Book of Revelations, circulated widely in a variety of monastic, reformist, and intellectual milieus following her death. This volume offers an introduction to the saint and the reception of her work written by experts from various disciplines. In addition to acquainting the reader with the state of the scholarship, the study also presents fresh interpretations and new perspectives on Birgitta and the sources for her life and writings.

  Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca, 1304–74), best known for his influential collection of Italian lyric poetry dedicated to his beloved Laura, was also a remarkable classical scholar, a deeply religious thinker and a philosopher of secular ethics. In this wide-ranging study, chapters by leading scholars view Petrarch's life through his works, from the epic Africa to the Letter to Posterity, from the Canzoniere to the vernacular epic Triumphi. Petrarch is revealed as the heir to the converging influences of classical cultural and medieval Christianity, but also to his great vernacular precursor, Dante, and his friend, collaborator and sly critic, Boccaccio. Particular attention is given to Petrach's profound influence on the Humanist movement and on the courtly cult of vernacular love poetry, while raising important questions as to the validity of the distinction between medieval and modern and what is lost in attempting to classify this elusive figure.

  Despite the fact that Gaspara Stampa (1523?-1554) has been recognized as one of the greatest and most creative poets and musicians of the Italian Renaissance, scholarship on her work has been surprisingly scarce and uncoordinated. In recent years, critical attention towards her work has increased, but until now there have been no anthologies dedicated solely to Stampa. Rethinking Gaspara Stampa in the Canon of Renaissance Poetry aims to set a foundation for further Stampa studies by accounting for her contributions to literature, music history, gender studies, the history of ideas, philosophy, and other areas of critical thought. This volume brings together an international group of interdisciplinary scholars who employ varied methodologies to explore multiple aspects of Stampa's work in dialogue with the most recent scholarship in the field. The chapters emphasize the many ways in which Stampa's poetry engages with multiple cultural movements of early modern Italy and Europe, including: Ficinian and Renaissance Neoplatonism, male-authored writing about women, Longinus's theory of the sublime, the formation of writing communities, the rediscovery of Aristotle's writings, and the reimagined relation between human and natural worlds. Taken as a whole, this volume presents a rich introduction to, and interdisciplinary investigation of, Gaspara Stampa's impact on Renaissance culture.

  Martin Luther mente hun var gal. August Strindberg kalte henne en «satans kjerring». Den hellige Birgitta (1303–1373) var en av de tydeligste stemmene i Europa i sin tid og satte både konger og paver på plass. Unn Falkeid skildrer en modig nordisk adelskvinne som valgte å følge et hellig kall og bryte opp fra det livet som var staket ut. Hun føder og oppdrar åtte barn, blir så enke og bestemmer seg for å dra til Roma, kirkens sentrum, for å be paven om å vende hjem fra sitt franske eksil. Stadig mottar hun visjoner som nedtegnes og som til slutt fyller åtte bøker. Birgitta etterlot seg en klosterorden og det hittil største forfatterskapet skrevet av en kvinne. «Den svenske enken» ble hun kalt. Hun ble kanonisert etter sin død, og er i dag Europas skytshelgen. Birgittas dramatiske liv er en enestående fortelling fra europeisk middelalder.

  The Avignon papacy (1309–1377) represented the zenith of papal power in Europe. The Roman curia’s move to southern France enlarged its bureaucracy, centralized its authority, and initiated closer contact with secular institutions. The pope’s presence also attracted leading minds to Avignon, transforming a modest city into a cosmopolitan center of learning. But a crisis of legitimacy was brewing among leading thinkers of the day. The Avignon Papacy Contested considers the work of six fourteenth-century writers who waged literary war against the Catholic Church’s increasing claims of supremacy over secular rulers—a conflict that engaged contemporary critics from every corner of Europe. Unn Falkeid uncovers the dispute’s origins in Dante’s Paradiso and Monarchia, where she identifies a sophisticated argument for the separation of church and state. In Petrarch’s writings she traces growing concern about papal authority, precipitated by the curia’s exile from Rome. Marsilius of Padua’s theory of citizen agency indicates a resistance to the pope’s encroaching power, which finds richer expression in William of Ockham’s philosophy of individual liberty. Both men were branded as heretics. The mystical writings of Birgitta of Sweden and Catherine of Siena, in Falkeid’s reading, contain cloaked confrontations over papal ethics and church governance even though these women were later canonized. While each of the six writers responded creatively to the implications of the Avignon papacy, they shared a concern for the breakdown of secular order implied by the expansion of papal power and a willingness to speak their minds.

  Den italienske dikteren Francesco Petrarca (1304-74) omtales gjerne som ”humanismens far”. Med det menes det nye synet på selvet som på den ene siden er knyttet til renessansehumanismens fremhevelse av antikkens kultur som forbilledlig, og på den andre siden ønsket om å konkurrere og overgå de klassiske mestrene. I diktene så vel som i brevene, dialogene og traktatene tematiserer Petrarca selvet og de personlige erfaringenes egenart i den forstand at tekstene fremstår som selvbiografiske. En dominerende tendens innenfor Petrarca-resepsjonen har derfor vært biografisk orientert. Gjennom grundige analyser av Petrarcas tekster – hovedsakelig av canzone 129, men også av en rekke andre dikt fra den italienskspråklige sangboken Canzoniere og av sentrale tekster fra det latinske forfatterskapet – problematiserer og utfordrer Unn Falkeid Butenschøn de biografiske fortolkningsmodellene. Hennes påstand er at Petrarcas tekster i stor grad dreier seg om fortolkningens vilkårlighet og selvets ustadighet, slik at en teksts sanne mening ikke lar seg rekonstruere. Snarere stilles leserne selv til ansvar for den mening som kan oppspores i Petrarcas tekster ved at fortolkningene avslører hver enkelt lesers verdihierarki og erfaringshorisont.
