Beskrivning

Chantries were religious institutions endowed with land, goods and money. At their heart was the performance of a daily mass for the spiritual benefit of their founders, and the souls of all faithful dead. To Church reformers, they exemplified some of medieval Catholicism’s most egregious errors; but to the orthodox they offered opportunities to influence what occurred in an unknowable afterlife. The eleven essays presented here lead the reader through the earliest manifestations of the chantry, the origins and development of ‘stone-cage’ chapels, royal patronage of commemorative art and architecture, the chantry in the late medieval parish, the provision of music and textiles, and a series of specific chantries created for William of Wykeham, Edmund Audley, Thomas Spring and Abbot Islip, to the eventual history and the cultural consequences of their suppression in the mid-16th century.

Recensioner i media

It is not possible to do justice here to such a rich and varied collection, but all eleven papers have new and valuable facts or insights to offer...The volume is commendably multi-disciplinary, and nearly all the essays are well illustrated, with most of the photographs in colour. -- Church Monuments Church Monuments The Medieval Chantry in England is a particularly happy disciplinary marriage of art history, archaeology, and the history of religion. The tired existing literature on medieval chantries is greatly enriched by these eleven essays. -- Journal of Ecclesiastical History Journal of Ecclesiastical History
