※ アルフォンソ8世期カスティーリャにおける〈司教権力〉の実像を再構築する画期的研究 ※
本書はアルフォンソ8世(在位1158–1214年)の治世において、カスティーリャ王国の司教たちがどのように権力を行使し、世俗教会の統治構造に影響を与えたのかを精密に分析する研究書です。著者 Kyle C. Lincoln は、司教を単なる宗教的指導者としてではなく、王権・貴族・修道院勢力との間で政治的交渉を行う主体として捉え、彼らが王国の行政・司法・軍事・外交に果たした役割を多角的に検討しています。書簡・憲章・年代記など多様な史料を用い、司教団が王権の安定化に寄与する一方で、独自の権威とネットワークを構築していたことを明らかにし、従来の中世イベリア教会史の理解を大きく更新します。宗教権力と世俗統治の相互作用を読み解くための重要な視座を提供する一冊です。

Description:
During the long reign of Alfonso VIII, Castilian bishops were crusaders, castellans, cathedral canons, and collegiate officers, and they served as powerful intermediaries between the pope and the king of Castile. In A Constellation of Authority, Kyle C. Lincoln traces the careers of a septet of these bishops and uses this history to fill in much of what really happened in thirteenth-century Castile.
The relationships that local prelates cultivated with Alfonso VIII and the Castilian royal family existed in tension with how they related to the reigning pope. Drawing on diocesan archives, monastic collections, and chronicles, Lincoln reconstructs the complex negotiations and navigations these bishops undertook to maintain the balance among the papal and royal agendas and their own interests. Lincoln examines the bishops’ ties to crusades and political influence, the growth of canon and Roman law, religious and church reform, and the canonization of local leaders. In the process, he makes the case that the medieval past is best illuminated by the combined luminescence of a ‘constellation of authority’ represented, at least in part, by a conglomerate of bishops.
Through seven case studies, each examining a prelate in his individual historical context, A Constellation of Authority improves our understanding of the politics of thirteenth-century Castile and provides an important foundation for further consideration of the ties between Castile and the broader European medieval world. It will appeal to medieval Hispanists and historians of the medieval church and episcopacy.
