Dubourg, Ninon, "Testimonies of Emotions: Disability and Miraculous Cures in Louis IX's Canonisation Process in Thirteenth-Century France", Journal of Medieval History, 51/2 [Medieval Histories of Disability and Emotions, Dubourg, Ninon - Scalenghe, Sara - Verstraete, Pieter, eds.] (2025), 196-215.
- Resum
- This paper examines the role of emotions in reports of miraculous cures attributed to Louis IX during his 1282 canonisation process, which include the stories of three women – Amelot, Mabilette and Luce. This study draws on twenty-one individual testimonies, marked by intense emotional expression, that were gathered to authenticate the women's healings. By analysing the unique role emotions played in the canonisation trial, I aim to show how they influenced the inquest itself, shaped community perceptions and reinforced the saint's cult. Emotions were crucial for witnesses in recounting and validating their memories of disabled people's daily lives and healing, as well as for notaries, who preserved these emotional expressions as evidence in the canonisation registers. Ultimately, I argue that emotions were not peripheral to the trial but fundamental to the process of proving sanctity.
