“…This perhaps represents a shift in the type of material emotants and a decline in communal emotional practices, or at least in their degree of elaboration and breadth of potential effect. This shift is also seen in other aspects of communal life in post-Reformation Britain: communal memory and events relating to the dead, for example, were devalued, and guilds, with their members' shared identity and feelings of solidarity, declined (Duffy 2001: 106;Standley 2013: 101;Rosser 2015).…”

“…All five gilds combined religious and worldly obligations, demonstrating the enthusiasm which lay society dedicated to institutional Christian life, and the difficulty of drawing a sharp divide between the two spheres. 107 That said, the gilds vary significantly in emphasis. Those of Abbotsbury and Exeter devote more attention to the religious (especially liturgical) requirements of members, as do the incomplete statutes from Great Bedwyn.…”

Early Medieval Europe

The early medieval gilds of north‐west Europe were very different from their later medieval descendants. They were not specifically urban or economic in focus, instead being based on religious devotion, feasting and mutual protection, usually among members united by status and geography. Treatment of gilds differed sharply between the two main representatives of the tradition in the region: the Carolingian empire and Anglo‐Saxon England. In the former, gilds were vilified as coniurationes, spontaneous oath‐bound associations, which rulers feared might undermine their authority and that of the hierarchy they represented. But in the latter gilds flourished, especially in the tenth and eleventh centuries, when England produced the first gild statutes of medieval Europe. This contribution examines these two traditions, and the reasons for the break between them.

“…Indeed, the concept of solidarity lies at the centre of the most recent study on medieval English confraternities. 61 Even though they were drawn up in different parts of Italy, the statutes of three twelfth-century confraternities -Imola, Pescia and Montefuscocited the same biblical text to explain the rationale behind their congregation: 'When two or three gather in my name, I am in the midst of them' (Matt. 18:20).…”

When studied through canon law and scholastic pastoraliaproduced in the universities in the thirteenth century and beyond, medieval pastoral care comes across as spiritual care, more specifically the administration of sacraments and preaching, provided by the clergy for the faithful. This article complicates that view by arguing that in the twelfth century, the laity alongside the clergy was active in the provision and organisation of pastoral care. The sources examined are the surviving statutes of five religious confraternities – along with the obituaries and sermons in two cases – in Italy that flourished in the twelfth century and before. Each of these confraternities was centred around a church, established after an apostolic ideal, included laymen and women and local pastoral clergy of all levels, met regularly to celebrate the Eucharist, prayed for the dead members and made public confessions. Members prayed for and attended to the corporal needs of each other in case of sickness. In the final analysis, these twelfth-century confraternities appear astransitional institutions between the early medieval monasticconfraternities focusing on prayer and the late medieval andrenaissance confraternities focusing on charity. Their study opens a window onto the lay expectations of and contribution to pastoral care in medieval Italy.
