About the Book

English summary: Anyone dealing with the world-famous Pisan Camposanto will immediately come across the Terra Santa legend. It states that the soil of the city cemetery founded in 1278 originates from the Holy Land and possesses the miraculous property of completely decomposing corpses within a few days. According to medieval sources, the terra santa comes from Jerusalem, namely from the Akeldama, the field of blood - a place far less well known. But even here, too, the same belief in the rapid decomposition of corpses has been circulating since the High Middle Ages. Rahel Meier delivers groundbreaking results on both aspects of the Pisan terra santa legend, the place of origin of the earth as well as the belief in rapid decomposition. By deconstructing the traditional assumption about the location of the memorial site in Jerusalem, the author provides a completely new basis for our understanding of the Akeldama. In turn, this allows for a plausible hypothesis, how the idea of the rapid decomposition of corpses arose. The results in the first part of Meier's investigation therefore enable a new and expanded understanding of Jerusalem's cemetery for the foreigners and the sacred topography of the Holy City.A more precise interpretation of the Camposanto at Pisa is only possible after a comprehensive examination of the phenomenon of the Mediterranean dissemination of the Akeldama's "replicas" or material reifications in the High and Late Middle Ages. The second part therefore concentrates on this phenomenon by examining the spread of the legend and the establishment of sacred fields in the late 13th century. Rahel Meier makes clear that the origin of the local terra santa-legend in Pisa was anticipated only slightly earlier by the sacred field (Campus Sanctus) in St. Jean d'Acre (Akkon), that is hardly known in research. Most likely, it was here in Acre, rather than in Jerusalem itself, that the Pisans became familiar with the idea of a synecdochic-analogical material evocation of a translatio Hierusalem. The Pisans staged their sacred field (Campus Sanctus) architecturally as well as artistically, embedded it in the local context, and enhanced it symbolically. The true attraction for visitors and locals was the burial field covered with soil from Jerusalem at the center, the centrepiece of the present investigation, as it were. With the Camposanto, the Pisans built a huge reliquary for this sacred earth. Acknowledging the cultic centrality of the inner field, Rahel Meier interprets Buonamico Buffalmacco's frescoes and hypothesizes that a reference to the Purgatory can be found in the depicted rock. Anyone interested in medieval history, pilgrim accounts, holy places, cemeteries, and beliefs can look forward to a methodologically broad study with innovative results. German description: Wer sich mit dem weltberuhmten Pisaner Camposanto beschaftigt, wird unmittelbar mit der Terra Santa-Legende konfrontiert. Diese besagt, dass die Erde des um 1278 gegrundeten Stadtfriedhofs aus dem Heiligen Land stammt und die wundertatige Eigenschaft besitzt, Leichen innert weniger Tage vollstandig zu zersetzen. Mittelalterlichen Quellen zufolge stammt die terra santa, die heilige Erde, aus Jerusalem, namlich vom Akeldama, dem Blutacker - ein Ort, der ungleich weniger bekannt ist. Aber auch hier kursiert seit dem Hochmittelalter dieselbe Glaubensvorstellung einer raschen Zersetzung von Leichen. Zu beiden Aspekten der Pisaner Terra Santa-Legende, dem Ursprungsort der Erde wie der Vorstellung einer raschen Verwesung, liefert Rahel Meier bahnbrechende Resultate. Die Autorin dekonstruiert die traditionelle Annahme zur Lage des Memorialortes in Jerusalem und stellt damit unser Verstandnis des Akeldama auf vollig neue Grundlagen. Diese erlauben wiederum eine plausible Hypothese, wie die Vorstellung einer raschen Zersetzung von Leichen entstanden ist. Die Ergebnisse des ersten Teils der Untersuchung ermoglichen daher ein neues und erweitertes Verstandnis zum Jerusalemer Fremdenfriedhof und zur Sakraltopographie der Heiligen Stadt. Die genauere Deutung des Camposanto zu Pisa ist nur mithilfe einer vollstandigen Untersuchung des Phanomens der mediterranen Verbreitung der Repliken oder materiellen Verdinglichungen des Akeldama im Hoch- und Spatmittelalter moglich. Im zweiten Teil wird deshalb die Verbreitung der Legende und die Grundung von heiligen Ackern im spaten 13. Jahrhundert untersucht. Rahel Meier macht deutlich, dass die Entstehung der ortsgebundenen Terra-Santa-Legende in Pisa nur wenig fruher von einem in der Forschung kaum bekannten heiligen Acker (Campus Sanctus) in St. Jean d'Acre (Akkon) vorweggenommen wurde. Hochstwahrscheinlich machten sich die Pisaner hier in Akkon, mehr als in Jerusalem selbst, mit der Idee einer synekdochisch-analogischen materiellen Heraufbeschworung einer translatio Hierusalem vertraut. Die Pisaner betreiben einen erheblichen Aufwand, um ihren heiligen Acker (Campus Sanctus) architektonisch und kunstlerisch zu inszenieren, ihn im lokalen Kontext zu verankern und symbolisch zu verstarken. Der eigentliche Anziehungspunkt war das aus Jerusalemer Erde bestehende Bestattungsfeld im Zentrum, gleichsam das Herzstuck der vorliegenden Untersuchung. Mit dem Camposanto errichteten die Pisaner im Laufe der Jahrhunderte einen gewaltigen Reliquienschrein fur die heilige Erde. Die kultische Zentralitat des inneren Feldes anerkennend, interpretiert Rahel Meier die Fresken Buonamico Buffalmaccos und stellt die Hypothese auf, dass im Felsen ein Hinweis auf das Purgatorium zu finden ist. Wer sich fur mittelalterliche Geschichte, Pilgerberichte, heilige Orte, Friedhofe und Glaubensvorstellungen interessiert, kann sich auf eine methodologisch breit angelegte Untersuchung mit innovativen Resultaten freuen.
