In one of his main works, Concordia Novi ac Veteris Testamenti, Joachim of Fiore (1135-1202) interprets the story of the biblical Lot, shown in chapter 19 of Genesis. Using in practice the method of compliance (concordia) of the Old and New Testaments and an extensive theory of biblical meanings, he sees in the degenerated inhabitants of Sodom the announcement of medieval dialects. The negative attitude of the Abbot of Fiore (Calabrian Abbot) to speculative theology results from his apocalyptic vision of history, in which the key role is played by spiritual men (viri spiritales), who herald the Holy Spirit era. According to Joachim of Fiore, self-confi dent and self-based dialectics are destructive, diverting attention from the coming apocalypse. Stuck in a letter, they do not achieve the spiritual understanding (intelligentia spiritualis) of the Bible and prevent others from doing so. The interpretation of Lot’s story by Joachim of Fiore reveals the twelfth-century intellectual climate as monastic theology gradually gives way to scholasticism practiced in cities.

The article attempts to examine the presence of mystical elements in the writings of the Calabrese exegete, Joachim of Fiore (circ. 1135-1202). The fi rst part constitutes an overview of 12th century characteristic elements of apocalyptic spirituality, as seen by Joachim. This spirituality is infl uenced by both personal refl ections of this author and his intensive studies as well as current events, especially the crisis in the Church and the crusaders’ movement, as well as spreading heresies in the West and the progressive expansion of Islam. The second part of the article analyzes two intuitions of mystical nature which Joachim of Fiore experienced during his stay at the Cistercian Casamari Abbey. He elaborates on them in his major writings – Expositio in Apocalypsim and Psalterium decem cordarum. The nature of these intuitions and their later infl uence on this author’s writings allow the conclusion that we are dealing here with an experience that is mystical in nature, which, in turn, opened before Joachim some interpretative horizons that had been previously inaccessible in matters concerning the understanding (intelligentia) of inspired Writings.

Joachim of Fiore (1135-1202) – a Middle Age exegete and mystic – is the author of an impressive work on the vision of history, whose most renown element is the tertius status, i.e. the age of the Holy Spirit which precedes the end of the world and the Final Judgment. As an author, Joachim was also interested in the history of religious life in the Middle Ages and in various exegetical tools which he developed to analyze this subject. In his works, especially the minor ones, he also discusses practical problems related to religious life in the 12th century. The small tractate, Questio de Maria Magdalena et Maria sorore Lazari et Marthae, has been preserved in a single 13th century manuscript and is kept in the Biblioteca Antoniana in Padua. In his exegesis on various Gospel passages which deal with the anointing of Jesus’ feet and head in Galilee and Bethany, Joachim of Fiore intends to show that the actions of women who performed this gesture possess a hidden moral significance: the certainty concerning the internal unity that occurs between contemplation and the virtue of humility. An example of this unity is Mary of Bethany who anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped them with her hair (cf. Jn 12:3) as a person who is humble and – at the same time – given to contemplation. Still – according to Joachim – as a righteous person, she had the right to reach for the head of the Savior.

The article addresses the interpretation of the dialogue between the mother of Jesus and the Son (John 2:3-4) in "Tractatus super quatuor evangelia" by Joachim of Fiore (1135-1202). The analysis starts from an overview of the source, its main lines of argumentation, the popularity of this work in the Middle Ages and the controversies it aroused. The paper employs an analytical and comparative method. The analysis of the patristic sources, the literature on the subject and the comparison of the content of the main source, namely the "Tractatus super quatuor evangelia", with the content of selected works of Joachim of Fiore, lead to the conclusion that as far as Joachim’s exegesis of Jn 2:3-4 is concerned, we can speak of the genuine innovativeness of this medieval author, rooted in his original vision of history. The article refers to the exegesis of this fragment of the Gospel according to St John, as seen in Gaudentius of Brescia and St Augustine. In Joachim’s interpretation, the mother of Jesus appears above all as the herald of the forthcoming spiritual Church (ecclesia spiritalis), and her request to the Son sets in motion the historical process of the spiritualisation of the Church and the world, which, according to Joachim, is to precede the Second Coming. Joachim’s view of Jn 2:3-4 is an interesting example of the creative reception of the exegesis of the Church Fathers and the interpretative approaches they developed which were adopted in the Middle Ages.

W artykule podjęto problem interpretacji dialogu Matki Jezusa z Synem (J 2, 3-4) w "Tractatus super quatuor evangelia" Joachima z Fiore (1135-1202). Przeprowadzona analiza wychodzi od charakterystyki źródła, głównych linii prowadzonej w nim argumentacji, popularności tego dzieła w średniowieczu, a także kontrowersji, jakie wzbudzało. W artykule zastosowano metodę analityczną i porównawczą. Analiza źródeł patrystycznych, literatury przedmiotu oraz porównanie treści zawartych w głównym źródle, czyli "Tractatus super quatuor evangelia", z treścią wybranych dzieł Joachima z Fiore, pozwala na stwierdzenie, że w przypadku Joachimowej egzegezy J 2, 3-4 możemy mówić o autentycznym nowatorstwie widocznym u tego średniowiecznego autora i osadzonym w jego oryginalnej wizji dziejów. W artykule sięgnięto do egzegezy tego fragmentu ewangelii według św. Jana widocznej u Gaudencjusza z Brescii i św. Augustyna. Matka Jezusa w Joachimowej interpretacji jawi się przede wszystkim jako zapowiedź mającego dopiero nadejść duchowego Kościoła (ecclesia spiritalis), a jej prośba do Syna oznacza uruchomienie dziejowego procesu spirytualizacji Kościoła i świata, która ma – zdaniem Joachima – poprzedzić paruzję. Joachimowe spojrzenie na J 2, 3-4 jest interesującym przykładem twórczej recepcji egzegezy Ojców Kościoła oraz wypracowanych przez nich i przyjętych w średniowieczu rozwiązań interpretacyjnych.
