Die Vita der Christina von Hane: Untersuchung und Edition


Add your own review!

Overview

Die Vita der Christina von Hane ist außergewöhnlich. Bereits Kurt Ruh stellte fest: „Die Christina-von-Hane-Vita bietet für den Leser, der nur noch Analogien zu bekannten Typen erwartet, Überraschungen, das heißt einmalige Besonderheiten.“ Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit wird erstmalig eine umfassende Studie geliefert, die zu weiteren Untersuchungen anregen soll. Mystische Vitentexte lassen sich nicht auf ihre somatischen, brautmystischen oder historiographisch relevanten Anteile reduzieren; sie müssen in ihrer Vielschichtigkeit wahrgenommen werden. Dabei ist auch die Phänomenologie der Quelle hervorzuheben, die sich als heiliges Buch, als Manifestation des göttlichen Wortes gibt. Die mystische Vita der Christina von Hane kann so als Beispiel einer Schrift- und Schreibmystik gesehen werden, in der sich Elemente materieller Präsenz, sprachlichen Ausdrucks und brautmystischer Verkörperung verzahnen. Die hier vorgelegte kritische Neuedition des Vitentextes aus einer Straßburger Handschrift löst die Mittermaiersche Edition von 1965/66 ab. Der Vitentext wird um die Edition einer in derselben Handschrift überlieferten Maria Magdalena-Bekehrungslegende ergänzt.

Reviews

Kirakosian's meticulous edition includes a paleographic and codicological description of the manuscript, a discussion of its date, and a philological account. In addition to the Vita she edits a short legend of Mary Magdalene that follows it. What she does, she does very well, proving that this apparently naive text has its own kind of sophistication, narrative strategies, and genre conventions, well understood by its audience. All further research on this disturbing, fascinating text must begin with her monograph. Barbara Newman in: Speculum 94/1 (January 2019) This exemplary investigation examines the presentation of the (intense) bride-mysticism and the union of the soul with God expressed in the life of Christina from a variety of angles, stressing the material textuality of the work and its performativity - in simplest terms, not just what it is, nor on Christina as a mystic, but how the book we have is intended to function as a text. [...] The approach is necessarily a complex one, but it is carefully handled and stimulating. The second part of the study presents the (challenging) Moselle-Franconian text of the Strasbourg Vita (pp283-346), plus a brief legend of the Magdalene (pp. 347-9). The balance between a diplomatic and a working text is well managed. Brian Murdoch in: Medium Aevum LXXXVII (2018)

Dabei mag der/dem Lesenden die Entscheidung der Herausgeberin, gegen das Manuskript eine Kapitelzählung einzuführen und auf die Wiedergabe der - sonst im Lauf der Untersuchung immer wieder argumentativ ausgewerteten - Unterstreichungen zu verzichten, sehr entgegenkommen.""
