1. ‘Journée d’études de l’Institut Marcel Mauss’, from the conferenceObéir et désobéir, 17 January 2012, EHESS, in print; see Emanuele Coccia, ‘Les sources théologiques de la désobéissance. La chute angélique et ses conséquences selon la théologie chrétienne’. Coccia focuses on Adam and the rebellious angels on the one hand as figures of disobedience, and Abraham and Christ on the other as the exemplary figures of obedience to God.
2. TheMagnum Exordium Cisterciense(1190–1210) written by Conrad of Eberbach refutes this accusation of disobedience uttered by the Benedictine monks of Molesmes and of Germany.
3. Some collections ofexemplahave a chapter about obedience (Obedientia):Tabula exemplorumandScala coeli; (Obedire): Tabula for Guibert de Tournai’sSermones ad status; for disobedience, see the chapter entitled ‘revolt’ (De murmure):Speculum laicorum,Scala coeli. In fact, for the preachers, every sin is an act of disobedience against the Ten Commandments.
