중세기독교 순례와 도시의 발전 = Pilgrimage and Towns in Medieval Christianity

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Various social-cultural factors were crucial in the formation and development of medieval towns. Among those factors, medieval Christianity greatly contributed to the formation of medieval towns. Including monasteries and cathedral organizations, pilgrimage was decisive to the life and culture of medieval people. ‘Pilgrimage’means visiting religious places where certain meaningful and important events happened, to entreat supernatural help and also keep religious responsibilities. The power of pilgrimage, a living icon for medieval Christians, was a stronger force than that of intellectuals and theologians.
For this reason, I looked at the journey to Compostela, one of three major pilgrimages in medieval Christianity. I pursued the relationship between pilgrim culture and the development of the town, and added a certain Christian interpretation to it. As we see in Liber Sancti Jacobi Book V, numerous towns were flourished along the pilgrimage from Vezlay to Compostela. What attracted people to pilgrimage and made the people move continuously were saints, cathedrals, and necessary facilities like lodges and charitable institutes. The journey to Compostela clearly shows these diverse aspects. Medieval pilgrimage was related with the development process rather than with the origination and formation of towns. Shaped out of traditional villages and towns in the beginning, as we see in the case of Compostela, many towns depended on holy relics rather than the pilgrims. Translation and acquisition of the relics provided a religious authority and justification for a new cathedral and monastery. Saints did not move, but the pilgrims who sought saints moved and stimulated the development of towns. People gathered, markets formed, information was shared, and religious symbols and social developments intermingled.
Dian Webb even illustrates that pilgrimage is closely related to politics, economics, and culture in general. The relationship between towns and pilgrimage was deeper than superficially observed. Based upon material and social grounds, the pilgrims developed the concept of solidarity and communication. The pilgrims gathering around the village and towns built up mutual solidarity.
