| Abstract | The series of four interdisciplinary sessions (including history, theology, literature, and art) investigates the issue of borders between laity and clergy in the time between the High Middle Ages and the eve of the Reformation: In which way were these borders drawn and stabilised, and how were they being crossed? How were they presented and reflected upon? The second session is dedicated to the monastic traditions, especially those of the Cistercians and the Franciscans. It will discuss the role of lay persons in hagiographies, the increasing importance of clerics in the first decades of the Franciscan order and the multifunctional border of choir screens in observant Franciscan churches. |
