This article investigates the long history of language training and missionary preaching in the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) from the early training of Domingo de Caleruega, the Order's founder, to the short-lived "language schools" in the mid-thirteenth century. It demonstrates that attitudes about language acquisition and training in the Order were shaped by the multilingual backgrounds of many of its early members, especially Domingo, which fostered value-positive attitudes toward learning languages – especially Arabic and Hebrew. These attitudes were codified in the early Order's General Chapters, were supported vigorously by both the Order's leadership and contemporary Church figures, and were part of a broader missionary vocation within the Order. The article demonstrates that the missionising of the early Dominicans was shaped by Domingo's own example, amplifiing and institutionalising it, showing how the early Order's ideas about language as a barrier to conversion developed and they crafted strategies to overcome it.

St. Thomas’s commentary on the Book of Psalms, known as the Postilla super Psalmos, gives us a privileged insight into the mind and heart of a Dominican friar and theologian at work and at prayer. In this contribution I will elucidate these claims on the basis of elements found in his commentary and in particular in the areas of (1) prayer and the liturgy, (2) Christ, Mary and the Church, (3) Sin and Mercy and (4) Contemplation and Preaching.

The analysis of the link between Sancho iv and María de Molina with the Mendicant Orders shows their preference for the Order of Preachers. This article analyzes that relationship from the point of view of the promotion of convents and monasteries, trying to reveal the keys to the royal model and the political culture promoted by both monarchs. Their relationships with Dominican establishments are analyzed separately because both of them took similar forms and shared objectives, but also showed notable differences. Another characteristic aspect was the development of a courtly culture in a Dominican key. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study analyzes the contribution of the first Dominicans to medieval pedagogy, through the pedagogical work of Vicente de Beauvais. His pedagogical works, although they are wide and very varied, focus on four core themes: history as a method of knowledge, the ideal of wisdom, the figures of the teacher and the disciple, and health education. Topics that served to turn pedagogy into a science, mark the pedagogy of the thirteenth century and serve as a bridge between classical pedagogy and humanist education. The research is supported by the study of four key pedagogical works: Libellus apologeticus, Speculum naturale, Speculum doctrinale and De eruditione filiorum nobilium. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to deeply explore the role played by the various components of the feast in the complex relations between Jesuits and Dominicans in Manila in the second half of the 17th century, with special regard for theater, ephemeral art, and sacred oratory. Far from being trivial, this question is part of the "battle for propaganda" that ultimately resolves quotas of spiritual and temporal power, an issue that will become thornier with the appointment in 1677 of the Dominican Felipe Pardo as Archbishop of Manila and his manifest animosity to the Society of Jesus.

By the time of his death in 1280 Albert the Great was respected not only as a theologian and philosopher, but also as one of the greatest authorities on astrology in the West. Such expertise rarely gains plaudits today, but in late medieval Europe knowledge of esoteric pursuits was held in high regard. This is why Dominicans not only did nothing to challenge the growth of the “Albert Legend,” that Albert had mastered all magical and esoteric topics, but also promoted this myth. By promoting this legend, they bolstered and legitimized the reputation of the Order of Preachers.

The academic study of religion in Nigerian tertiary institutions started about 1948 at the then University College of London, Ibadan, when the British Methodist minister/missionary Geoffrey Parrinder (10.04.1910-16.06.2005) established and headed the Department of Religious Studies. It was clearly theologically inclined as the principal scholars were either European missionaries or members of the local Christian clergy. The work Joseph Kenny, a Dominican priest – originally American by birth and a Nigerian citizen by naturalisation — marked a significant departure from theologically focused religious studies to the comparative study of religions. Kenny came to Nigeria in 1964, started teaching at the Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Major Seminary in Ibadan in 1971, and subsequently joined the Department of Religious Studies, the University of Ibadan, as a lecturer in 1979. He worked across three major religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam – evidently the only scholar to achieve a mastery of all the three traditions – exploring common themes, translations and theologies and their implications for religious dialogue in Africa where indigenous religious cosmologies underpin the cultural structures and ontologies. This paper explores the significance of religion scholarship as pioneered by a scholar who is both an insider and an outsider, and who mentored many African scholars of religion and members of the local clergy for more than two decades from 1979 to 2002 when he retired as a professor at the University of Ibadan.

The Legenda Beati Petri Gundisalvi was written in the thirteenth century and presents episodes of the life and miraculous deeds attributed to the Dominican Peter González (1190 (?) - 1246). Though often mentioned by the biographers of the Saint, this work has not yet been the subject of a critical edition or of a systematic analysis. Thus, there are many questions related to its production. In this article, this Vita is compared to the Legenda vita Sancti Dominici, hagiography dedicated to Dominic de Guzmán, considered the founder of the Dominican Order. It was the first text written after the papal canonization of Dominic, in the second half of the 1230s, and is attributed to Pedro Ferrando. The focus is on the treatment given to the education of Peter González and of Dominic de Guzmán in these texts. The objective is to identify and to debate whether these works share the same perspective on studying, contributing to the discussion about the formation of a Dominican identity during the thirteenth century.

After a brief survey of the dramatic loa (prelude) in Hispano-Philippine literature during 17th and 18th centuries, this article focuses on Felipe Pardo’s Sagrada fiesta, tres veces grande (1677), a miscellaneous volumen that summarizes the festivities organized by the Dominican friars in Manila on the occasion the beatification of three members of the Order of Preachers. The book is composed of sermons, carols, riddles and, most importantly, three hagiographic plays, two loas, an interlude (entremés) and a sarao. The article concludes with a critical and annotated edition of the Loa a las fiestas de los beatos Pío V, Diego de Bebañaj Margarita de Castello. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumen: Se presenta en este artículo científico un análisis acerca el papel que desempeñó la mujer y la Virgen María en la visión del fraile dominico del siglo XVII, Fray Pedro de Santa María y Ulloa, representante máximo de la devoción al rezo mariano en la España de esa época. Tras introducir de forma breve la biografía de este personaje histórico y la larga disputa teológica acerca la importancia de la Virgen María en el pensamiento cristiano; se concluye que a pesar de que el tradicional pensamiento de este fraile dominico mantuvo el ideario de los roles de género clásicos de la Iglesia Católica, la importancia extrema que Santa María y Ulloa le dio a la imagen de María fue un pequeño paso que permitió que las mujeres tuvieran una mayor significación en la religión católica. Abstract: This article analyzes the role of women and the Virgin Mary in the vision of the Dominican friar of the XVII century, Fray Pedro de Santa María y Ulloa, the highest representative of the devotion to the Marian prayer in the Spain of this century. After introducing briefly a biography of this historical personage and the long theological dispute about the importance of the Virgin Mary in the Christian thought; we concluded that although the traditional thinking of this Dominican friar, maintained the classic ideology of gender roles so typical of the Catholic Church, the extreme importance that Santa María y Ulloa gave to the image of Mary was a small step that allowed that women had a greater significance in the catholic religion.

This paper aims to present a general outline of the institution of the Order of the Preachers' convents in the Kingdom of Naples between the 13th and 14th centuries. Our documentation is composed of: Frederick II's Letter to the dominicans, the acts of the general and provincial Chapters, Bernard Gui's reports on the founding and division of convents in the provinces of the Order and pontifical documents (Papal bulls). Our method consists of three parts: characterizing the variety of documentation used; identify information on the institution of convents in Southern Italy and analyze data drawn from documentation in order to compose an approximate landscape of the possible relations of the friars and the angevin court with the Papacy. The historiography available was employed as a means of delimiting possible interpretations drawn from the data revealed by the chosen documentation. Our conclusion points to a complex articulation of Preachers, the House of Anjou and the Papacy, both in the conflagration as well as in the resolution of conflicts, mainly from 1260 onwards.

Between 1221 and 1236, Jordan of Saxony, the general master of the Order of Friars Preachers, and Diana Andaló, nun of the monastery of St. Agnes in Bologna, were frequent correspondents. From the exchange of epistles that characterized their friendship, only a few dozen letters written by the friar reached us. In them we can see the growth of the Order in those early years of its institution, its gradual organization as well as the policy of the master in relation to women's religious life, among allusions to the details of everyday life of a religious in the thirteenth century. It is in this documentary corpus that we support ourselves to comprehend the power relations which guided the process of institutionalization of the newly created Order of Friars Preachers, specially the affiliation of women's houses, a subject on which the friars oscillated between resistance and acceptance, because of the material and administrative implications that such an association meant. We will focus, in the discursive analysis, in three cards - two sent to Diana, and one sent to the provincial of Lombardy, Stephen of Spain - to understand the issues involved in the formation of a women's branch of the Order. We can conclude that this specific discussion comprehended a much bigger cenary of internal disputes for the control of the Order. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumen: La presencia de la Orden de Predicadores en los territorios de la futura Provincia Bética, corre paralela a los procesos de conquista y repoblación del territorio acometidos por la Corona de Castilla entre los siglos XIII y XV. Analizamos los procesos de implantación conventual, la creación de los primeros centros de enseñanza, sus vínculos con la monarquía, la nobleza y el conjunto social en los distintos territorios hasta la creación de la Provincia Bética. Tras ello, estudiamos la adecuación de la misma al gran reto que supone la incorporación de los territorios americanos a la Corona de Castilla y la necesidad de labor pastoral para los pobladores de los nuevos territorios. Abstract: The presence of the Order of Preachers in the future Betica Province runs in parallel to the processes of conquest and repopulation of the territories by the Castilla Kingdom between the 13th and 15th Centuries. We analyse the processes of Convent foundation, the growth of its first schools, its links with monarchy, nobility and social groups in the different territories until the creation of the Betica Province. In addition to this, we study its adequacy to the challenge that the incorporation of the American territories into the Castilla Kingdom meant, and the need of pastoral work for the population in the new territories.

Although well known in the case of Poor Clares or Cistercian nuns, the development of Corpus Christi devotion and liturgy in the Dominican nunneries has not been hitherto studied. This article analyzes these issues in the particular case of Dominican nuns in medieval Castile. The article discusses the role of these women in the development of devotional and liturgical performance, the artistic and architectonic consequences and peculiarities of the devotion of Corpus Christi, the changes in monastic spaces that resulted from it, and, finally, the use of Corpus Christi as a means of empowerment by some aristocratic nuns and foundresses.

The rosary is an important sign of missionary identity for the Dominican Order, whose use has not been limited to the convent since the 16th century when preach and devotion became universal. Dominic monks preach the rosary in all their missions and found several brotherhoods affiliated with the Order in parishes and diocesans churches, but in the 17th century the Hail Mary can be found outside sacred places, it is preached even in the streets. This process end up in the 18 th century when common people take a bigger responsibility and continue with the mission started by Dominic monks. Zafra, situated at the limit of the Baetica Province, becomes the stage of this Popular Mission thanks to the dawn rosary and its brotherhood, which clearly was a corporation dedicated to the mission and the assistant of people in need. This brotherhood does not hesitate before giving majority of age to the women in their government, even though they faced a strong social exclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The first monasteries founded by the Dominicans in the Iberian Peninsula, reflect, in its genesis, the important influence that the Friars Preachers would exert in this region, with great prestige not only among the poorest population, but also among the Portuguese court. During the beginning of the Avis dynasty they received from John I in 1388, the administration of the Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória, or Battle, which is an monumental architectural complex, international project to promote a political image.
