In the early 13th century, a novel concept of
religious community overran the occidental world: the Dominican Order. Unlike
earlier religious orders who confined monks to the purview of praying the
liturgy and living a life of contemplative seclusion, the Dominicans, by means
of preaching, focused on engaging with the broad community beyond the convent
walls. The result was a hitherto unseen interpenetration of a religious order
into the intellectual as well as cultural realities surrounding it. The
Dominicans soon became a driving force in medieval culture and their influence
can be found in the practical, intellectual, and material aspects of European
culture, from art to philosophy, from politics to the economy. The articles
collected in this volume investigate the complex interdepencies of Dominican
culture and Dominican theology from a plurality of scholarly perspectives
throughout the Late Middle Ages and into Early Modernity.
