“Pretium redemptionis: The Price of Salvation ca. 845" Friday, November 8, 4:00pm
Campbell 160 In the Middle Ages, as today, the concept of "price" played a central role in practices of commensuration and exchange. Grounded in worldly economics, notions of price, commerce, and profit also shaped medieval soteriological thought and practice. Focusing on a series of works associated directly or obliquely with the Carolingian ruler, Charles the Bald, this paper examines the trope of the “price of salvation” in the mid-ninth century. The talk will focus primarily upon how a selection of works of art and discourses framed access to salvation in economic terms, with particular emphasis on how the form of the coin was taken up as a means of grappling with and expressing the incommensurable value of spiritual ransom or redemption.
