In this book Steven Vanderputten reevaluates the historical significance of this generation of monastic leaders through an in-depth study of one of its most prominent figures, Richard of Saint-Vanne. During his lifetime, Richard (d. 1046) served as abbot of numerous monasteries, which gained him a reputation as a highly successful administrator and reformer of monastic discipline. As Vanderputten shows, however, a more complex view of Richard's career, spirituality, and motivations enables us to better evaluate his achievements as church leader and reformer. Vanderputten analyzes various accounts of Richard's life, contemporary sources that are revealing of his worldview and self-conception, and the evidence relating to his actions as a monastic reformer and as a promoter of conversion. Richard himself conceived of his life as an evolving commentary on a wide range of issues relating to individual spirituality, monastic discipline, and religious leadership. This commentary, which combined highly conservative and revolutionary elements, reached far beyond the walls of the monastery and concerned many of the issues that would divide the church and its subjects in the later eleventh century.AbbotsFranceBiographyReligious leadersFranceBiographyMonasticism and religious ordersFranceHistoryMiddle Ages, 600-1500FranceChurch history987-1515AbbotsReligious leadersMonasticism and religious ordersHistory271/.102Vanderputten Steven1461957MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797423803321Imagining religious leadership in the Middle Ages3802653UNINA03787nam 22005292 450 991098464060332120221230145055.09789004527096900452709510.1163/9789004527096(MiAaPQ)EBC30256401(Au-PeEL)EBL30256401(CKB)25456288500041(OCoLC)1351747317(nllekb)BRILL9789004527096(PPN)272413844(EXLCZ)992545628850004120221230d2023 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMuslim Religious Authority in Central Eurasia /edited by Ron Sela, Paolo Sartori and Devin DeWeese1st ed.Leiden ;Boston :Brill,2023.©20231 online resource (357 pages)Brill's Inner Asian Library ;43Asian Studies E-Books Online, Collection 2023Print version: Sela, Ron Muslim Religious Authority in Central Eurasia Boston : BRILL,c2022 Preliminary Material -- Copyright page -- Acknowledgments -- Figures -- Notes on Contributors -- Introduction /Ron Sela, Paolo Sartori, Devin DeWeese -- The Soviet Union in Islamic Studies /Devin DeWeese -- The Return of Jinn and Angels /Agnès Kefeli -- The Authority of Saintly Narrative /Benjamin Gatling -- Mukhamedzhan Tazabek and Popular Islamic Authority in Kazakhstan /Wendell Schwab -- ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Khalīfa and the Contest for Merv /William A.

The present volume is intended to historicize the question of religious authority in Muslim Central Eurasia, through historical and anthropological case studies about the exercise, negotiation, or institutionalization of authority, from the nineteenth to the early twenty-first century; it thus seeks to frame Islamic religious history in the areas shaped by Russian and Soviet rule in terms of issues relevant to Muslims themselves, as Muslims, rather than solely in terms of questions of colonial rule.
