montanusrelated

Montanusrelated is a term used in some academic, library, and digital catalog contexts to denote content that is related to Montanus, the figure after whom the Montanist movement is named, or to topics associated with Montanism. The term is not part of a formal taxonomy; rather, it serves as a metadata tag or keyword to assist indexing and retrieval.

Origin and usage: Derived from the name Montanus, itself from Latin montanus meaning “of the mountains” and used for the 2nd-century Christian movement founded by Montanus in Phrygia. In cataloging practice, montanusrelated may appear alongside related tags such as Montanism, Prophecy, Pepuza, and Priscilla and Maximilla.

Scope: Content labeled montanusrelated typically covers historical analysis of Montanism, biographical material on Montanus and associated figures (e.g., Priscilla and Maximilla), descriptions of their prophecies, the movement’s beliefs in renewed prophetic revelation, and its reception by early Christian communities. It may also encompass scholarly debates on textual sources, geographic centers like Pepuza, and the movement’s legacy in the study of early Christian heterodoxy.

Limitations: Because it is not a standardized taxonomy, the precise set of materials linked by montanusrelated can vary between libraries and databases. Researchers should consult related tags and catalog records to determine relevance.
