Editor's Note:
Despite the paramount importance of confraternities (especially to males) in medieval European society, scholars have tended to neglect not only the social role they played but also the influence they had on the art, drama, music, and thinking of the society in which they not only existed but thrived. This collection of essays serves to illuminate this oft-ignored facet of medieval society, and each essay carefully examines some element of the influence of confraternities on society and its products.Contents:From Devozione to Rappresentazione : Dramatic Elements in the Holy Week Laude of Assisi / Cyrilla Barr Early Italian Dramatic Traditions and Comforting Rituals: Some Initial Considerations / Kathleen Falvey Music and Ceremony at the Scoula Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista: A New Document from the Venetian State Archives / Jonathan E. Glixon Cene and Cenacoli in the Ascension and Pentecost Companies of Fifteenth-Century Florence / Nerida Newbigin The Good Works of the Florentine 'Buonomini di San Martino': An Example of Renaissance Pragmatism / Olga Zorzi Pugliese Italian Confraternity Art Contracts: Group Consciousness and Corporate Patronage, 1400-1525 / Ellen Schiferl Religious Furnishings and Devotional Objects in Renaissance Florentine Confraternities / Ludovica Sebregondi Music in a Florentine Confraternity: The Memorial Madrigals for Jacopo Corsi in the Company of the Archangel Raphael / Edmond Strainchamps Death and Dying in Renaissance Confraternities / Nicholas Terpstra Cults and Contexts: In Search of the Renaissance Confraternity / Ronald F.E.
