almost universally considered to be the first documented account of an individual
miraculously and physically receiving the five wounds of Christ. The early thirteenth-century
appearance of this miracle, however, is not as unexpected as it first seems. Interpretations
of Galatians 6:17-I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus Christ in my body-had been circulating
since the early Middle Ages in biblical commentaries. These works perceived those
with the stigmata as metaphorical representations of martyrs bearing the marks of
persecution in order to spread the teaching of Christ in the face of resistance. By
the seventh century, the meaning of Galatians 6:17 had been appropriated by bishops
and priests as a sign or mark of Christ that they received invisibly at their ordination.
Priests and bishops came to be compared to soldiers of Christ, who bore the brand
(stigmata) of God on their bodies, just like Roman soldiers who were branded with
the name of their emperor. In the eleventh century, monks and nuns were preceived
as bearing the stigmata in so far as they lived a life of renunciation out of love
for Christ By the early twelfth century, crusaders were said to bear the actual marks
of the passion in death and even sometimes as they entered into battle.The Stigmata
in Medieval and Early Modern Europe traces the birth and evolution of religious stigmata
and particularly of stigmatic theology, as understood through the ensemble of theological
discussions and devotional practices. Carolyn Muessig assesses the role stigmatics
played in medieval and early modern religious culture, and the way their contemporaries
reacted to them. The period studied covers the dominant discourse of stigmatic theology:
that is, from Peter Damian's eleventh-century theological writings to 1630 when the
papacy officially recognised the authenticity of Catherine of Siena's stigmata.
