Abstract | A series of three sessions are dedicated to the sensory approach of Marian devotion as reflected in Eastern and Western Christianity by examining the private/collective expressions of Marian devotion in relation to the senses. This session is dedicated to the sensory approach of Marian devotion - the hearing - in relation to different communities (the sinners, the faithful) as reflected in apocryphal sources focusing on the concepts of sin and sinfulness (Apocalypse of the Theotokos); in post-Byzantine visual sources from the monasteries of Mount Athos influenced by Western standards (piety, worship, ecclesiastical rhetoric); and in the philosophical/theological treatises of Anselm of Canterbury. |
