The Sign in Conduct and The Sign in Objects: Two Ways of Institutionalising The Church in Ambrose of Milan and Isidore of Seville
When Ambrose of Milan (374-397) and Isidore of Seville (c. 600-636) assumed their bishoprics, the baptism of the faithful, the Eucharist and the ordination of bishops constituted main sacramental devices for ordering the Ecclesia, while giving institutional consistency to their communities. In both...

I28-R145-16569_oai2025-11-17 Dell’Elicine, Eleonora 2024-12-26 When Ambrose of Milan (374-397) and Isidore of Seville (c. 600-636) assumed their bishoprics, the baptism of the faithful, the Eucharist and the ordination of bishops constituted main sacramental devices for ordering the Ecclesia, while giving institutional consistency to their communities. In both cases, however, the sacraments were not the only institutionalisation devices in force: indeed, ecclesiastical architecture, scripture, council meetings and territorial organisation were major works in the institutionalisation of Christian communities. These did not aim to organise the Church in the same way, and they often proposed different patterns of organisation. In this paper we will analyse how Ambrose and Isidore devolved different instruments in order to promote different ecclesiological models. The bishop of Milan, for his part, developed a programme of institutionalisation and disciplining of the clergy based on a pastoral of the clerical decorum. Two hundred years later, his reader, admirer and colleague in the episcopate, Isidore, sought support in less ambiguous signs and proposed an object-based recognition of the hierarchies and the various ecclesiastical officia. Cuando Ambrosio de Milán (374-397) e Isidoro de Sevilla (c. 600-636) asumieron sus cátedras obispales, el bautismo de los fieles, la eucaristía y la ordenación de obispos constituían los dispositivos sacramentales fundamentales a la hora de ordenar la Ecclesia y de otorgar a las comunidades de fieles consistencia institucional. En ambos casos, sin embargo, los sacramentos no resultaron los únicos dispositivos de institucionalización vigentes: en efecto, la arquitectura eclesiástica, la escritura, la reunión en concilios, el ordenamiento territorial, constituyeron trabajos mayores a la hora de institucionalizar a las comunidades cristianas. Tampoco estos trabajos apuntaban a organizar a la Iglesia de igual modo y muchas veces proponían pautas de ordenamiento que diferían unas de otras. En esta exposición analizaremos cómo Ambrosio e Isidoro echaron mano de instrumentos diversos para promover modelos eclesiológicos diferenciados. El obispo de Milán, por su parte, desarrolló un programa de institucionalización y disciplinamiento del clero basándose en una pastoral del decorum clerical. Doscientos años más tarde, su lector, admirador y colega en el episcopado, Isidoro, buscó apoyo en signos menos ambiguos y propuso un reconocimiento de las jerarquías y de los diversos officia eclesiásticos basado en objetos. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/16569 10.34096/ahamm.v58.2.16569 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/16569/14050 Derechos de autor 2024 Anales de Historia Antigua, Medieval y Moderna Anales de Historia Antigua, Medieval y Moderna; Vol. 58 Núm. 2 (2024) 1853-1555 1514-9927 Ambrose of Milan Isidore of Seville ecclesiology institutionalisation objects Ambrosio de Milán Isidoro de Sevilla eclesiología institucionalización objetos The Sign in Conduct and The Sign in Objects: Two Ways of Institutionalising The Church in Ambrose of Milan and Isidore of Seville El signo en la conducta y el signo en los objetos: dos formas de institucionalizar la Iglesia en Ambrosio de Milán e Isidoro de Sevilla info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=moderna&d=16569_oai |

When Ambrose of Milan (374-397) and Isidore of Seville (c. 600-636) assumed their bishoprics, the baptism of the faithful, the Eucharist and the ordination of bishops constituted main sacramental devices for ordering the Ecclesia, while giving institutional consistency to their communities. In both cases, however, the sacraments were not the only institutionalisation devices in force: indeed, ecclesiastical architecture, scripture, council meetings and territorial organisation were major works in the institutionalisation of Christian communities. These did not aim to organise the Church in the same way, and they often proposed different patterns of organisation. In this paper we will analyse how Ambrose and Isidore devolved different instruments in order to promote different ecclesiological models. The bishop of Milan, for his part, developed a programme of institutionalisation and disciplining of the clergy based on a pastoral of the clerical decorum. Two hundred years later, his reader, admirer and colleague in the episcopate, Isidore, sought support in less ambiguous signs and proposed an object-based recognition of the hierarchies and the various ecclesiastical officia. |
