Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 90,00 | | Descrizione | The Manipulus florum, composed in 1306 by Thomas of Ireland, is a compilation of nearly six thousand excerpts, organized under 266 alphabetically ordered lemmata, from dozens of authors, including doctors and fathers of the Latin and Greek churches, medieval writers, and classical authors. It was one of the most prominent works of reference from its creation until the seventeenth century, and is a work of interest to philologists, philosophers, and historians not only of the medieval world, but also, given its wide diffusion and reception, of the Renaissance and of humanism. The ten essays that comprise this collection join the tradition of studies on the Manipulus florum begun by Richard and Mary Rouse in 1979, and include close analyses of specific lemmata as well as broader studies that should appeal to students and scholars in various fields. |  Aggiungi al Carrello |

Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 90,00 | | Descrizione | This volume pays homage to manuscripts and early printed books as material witnesses in the Middle Ages. The essays discuss broad questions relating to the partisan interpretation of texts, but they also illustrate how small details of format, script, and decoration uncover the text, its context, and its reception. Some articles explore scientific methods, examining whether social network analysis can offer an advance over traditional methods of establishing textual connections and using statistics to understand the transmission of ancillary materials. Others present critical editions and contextualize lost genres, providing a first edition of an unedited summary of Ovid?s Metamorphoses steeped in the Boccaccian genealogical tradition, exploring mock funeral eulogies for animals, and discussing the variety of texts that pay witness to Ovid?s penetration into vernacular literature. A closing brace of essays catalogue collections and reflect on changing trends in the study of manuscripts. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Literary Echoes of the Fourth Lateran Council in England and France, 1215?1405
| Edizione: | Brepols Publishers, 2019 | | Collana: | Papers in Mediaeval Studies |
Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 90,00 | | Descrizione | The thirteenth century saw a blossoming of religious literature aimed at the laity composed in the vernacular as well as in Latin for the preachers who ministered to them. It has been traditional in literary history to attribute this vernacular creativity to the Fourth Lateran Council. Although the Council was part of a longer tradition of Church reform, it nonetheless crystallized theological and ecclesiastical thought in a form that was a spur to composition by writers and preachers for more than a century. The aim of this volume is not to attempt a comprehensive account of the Council or its reach in religious writing of the period but to further our understanding of how lay people, largely neglected by earlier councils, received Lateran IV?s doctrinal definitions and disciplinary rules. The essays gathered here concentrate on England, where bishops enacted the Council?s reforms with particular enthusiasm, and France, where the earliest instructional literature appeared.While the volume takes into account individual works that may have responded more directly to the decrees of the local bishops who enacted the canons proclaimed in 1215, it focuses on others in which the imperatives of the Fourth Lateran Council reverberate as literary echoes, revealing remarkable and often surprising connections with the larger historical and religious context. The texts discussed span the many languages of England and France of the period: Latin, Anglo-Norman, Middle English, Old French, and Occitan. The interpretation of literature that undergirds the entire collection is suitably broad, ranging from chanson de geste and Chaucer?s Canterbury Tales to didactic works, and encompassing along the way both biblical translations and sermons whose use of literary techniques to engage their audiences makes them ?literary?, even if not always fictional. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

From Learning to Love. Schools, Law, and Pastoral Care in the Middle Ages. Essays in Honour of Joseph W. Goering
| Edizione: | Brepols Publishers, 2018 | | Collana: | Papers in Mediaeval Studies |
Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 100,00 | | Descrizione | The essays in this volume show how the teaching of law and theology in the medieval schools was part of a pastoral project to foster a just Christian society and to lead souls to contemplation of God. With subjects ranging from scholastic debates about divine simplicity to disputes between parishioners over their reputations, these studies take us across Europe, from the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries, although the heart of the volume covers England and northern France in the decades around 1200.The collection reveals a culture with many threads of mutual influence connecting the learning of the schools, the administration of the Church, the perspectives of professionals in law and theology, and the stories, practices, and devotion of the laity. The first section of the volume considers medieval masters and examines both their subjects of intellectual inquiry and their pedagogical methods, as reflected in the particular textual and manuscript practices developed in the schools. The second section considers how clerics applied learning acquired in the schools in their roles as pastors, judges, and administrators. The final section gathers essays on those aspects of religious culture manifested in popular piety, liturgy, and hagiography.Diverse in methods and scope, these essays nevertheless share a common aim: to honour the remarkable scholarly achievement of Joseph Ward Goering. Although best known for his work on scholastic theology and pastoralia, his interests have ranged from hagiography to visual culture, and this volume reflects the interdisciplinary breadth and coherence of his work. This book presents original studies from many fields, including history, law, language and literature, theology, philosophy, and musicology, along with some editions of hitherto unpublished texts, as a tribute to Joe?s role as a beloved mentor to medievalists from many disciplines. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Books and Bookmen in Early Modern Britain: Essays Presented to James P. Carley

Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 90,00 | | Descrizione | This gathering of eighteen essays explores a period in Britain when the world of letters was brought under harness by the political centre as it had never been before or has been since. The importance of royal patronage for authors and printers alike is the subject of several of these studies; others are concerned with the dangers of unorthodox reading in Tudor England. The break-up of monastic libraries is another theme, as witnessed not only in England but also by observers in the Low Countries and Italy. Also included are studies on the post-dissolution movement of medieval books into the universities and into royal and aristocratic collections, aspects of female reading, verse composition, and the act and art of writing by hand, with wome editions of hitherto unprinted texts.Gathered from different corners of the field of book history, these studies share the common aim of honouring the contribution of James P. Carley. While known chiefly for his work on Tudor bibliographers, on the survival of medieval books in post-dissolution England and the foundation of the royal library, his interests extend to include monastic history and the Arthurian tradition. In all his work he has shown how close readings in the history of the book can open a window on an entire landscape and provide answers where other models of historical enquiry fall short. These essays seek to honour his achievement by offering close readings of their own. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 95,00 | | Descrizione | The twelve essays in this volume are the result of a research programme by a Danish-Swedish research network into The Aristotelian Tradition: The reception of Aristotle?s works on logic and metaphysics in the Middle Ages. This impressive and wide-ranging volume, which has its roots in the disciplines of both philology and philosophy, has at its core a focus on the different historical manifestations of Aristotelian thought on logical and metaphysical matters. The volume includes studies of texts by, among others, Apuleius, Boethius, Anonymus Aurelianensis III, Michael of Ephesus, Averroes, Nicholas of Paris, Robert Kilwardby, Thomas Aquinas, William of Ockham, and Francisco Suárez, relating to themes and passages in Aristotle?s Categories, On Interpretation, Prior Analytics, Posterior Analytics, Sophistical Refutations and Metaphysics. The book concludes with a new edition, with English translation and commentary, of the first part of a fiercely anti-Aristotelian work, which has been described as the starting-point for Renaissance Platonism and Aristotelianism alike: George Gemistos Plethon?s On Aristotle?s Departures from Plato. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

On the Shoulders of Giants: Essays in Honor of Glenn W. Olsen

Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 85,00 | | Descrizione | The allusion in the title to the dwarf on the shoulders of the giant underscores the central themes of this collection: the debt each generation owes to the intellectual achievements of those that precede it, the continuous interpenetration between the present and the past, and the place of tradition as well as change and renewal in culture and history. The topos is particularly apt for this volume, for it allows students and colleagues to express their own distinctive debts to Glenn W. Olsen, a formidable scholar, respected advisor, and cherished friend. Medieval in focus but also of broader chronological range, the essays in the volume encompass such diverse topics as the body, identity, and sexuality, the discourses of colonialism and narratives of history, as well as the conflict between an idealized primitive past and the progression towards a redeemed future. The first section examines the persistence of the authority of the past in the thought and language of authors who understood their circumstances primarily by reference to the past, even as they moved inexorably into the future. Processes of change and growth through the clash between novelty and tradition, and the conflicting standards and competing norms such conflict produces, form a central preoccupation of the essays in the second part. Together, they reveal how renewal through the use of traditional ancient sources sometimes impelled both intellectual thought and institutions in unforeseeable and sometimes unwelcome directions. A third group of essays centres on the concepts of Christian renewal and reform, both individual and collective, in the ascetic and monastic contexts but also in popular piety, as well as the medieval perspectives on the body, gender, marriage, and sexuality. Part four surveys the rejection of tradition and the inescapability of the past in any endeavour to transcend it. Like the essays collected here, which explore the theme of how one generation understands itself in relation to the past as it moves into the future, we hope this volume will be used as a starting point for future generations of scholars seeking to plumb the depths of the past as they chart their own ways forward. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 80,00 | | Descrizione | Modes of Authorship in the Middle Ages deserves a warm welcome. The articles, centred on the relationships between individual creativity and communal tradition, illustrate the interplay of the two by ranging broadly across medieval cultures and genres.
The volume opens with three articles that discuss changing conceptualizations of key terms (principally ?author? and ?authorship?) in literary theory. The next seven papers consider the relations between medieval theory and practice in the attitudes towards authorship of specific Latin, German and Italian writers as diverse as Meister Eckhart, William of Malmesbury, John of Salisbury, Lawrence of Durham, the verse of Peter Riga, Ariosto?s Orlando Furioso and late exegesis on the Book of Psalms. These are followed by four papers which apply medieval and modern ideas about distributed authorship to various genres of Old Norse literature, by five which consider the contributions of scribes, redactors, translators and compilers to the making of Old Norse literary manuscripts, and finally by two which approach the idea of authorship in medieval art and in commemorative rune stones.
A striking feature of the collection is the attempt by several contributors to advance the debate by applying ideas and developments in a number of scientific and humanistic disciplines, including neuroscience, evolutionary biology, ?old? and ?new? philology, and folklore studies. The result is a cross disciplinary approach that will stimulate scholars of literary history, theory, manuscript studies and art history to view notions of agency, originality, and textuality in a new light.

This collection of essays has been assembled as a tribute to the
eminent ecclesiastical historian Dr. Margaret Aston, Fellow of the
British Academy. Many of the contributors are themselves
distinguished scholars of the late medieval and early modern
Church. The twelve essays reflect the extraordinary breadth of Dr.
Astons interests, reaching beyond history into the cognate
disciplines of literature, theology, art history and codicology.
Colin Richmonds personal appreciation is followed by Anne
Hudsons engrossing study of how John Wyclif gained access to
the books that he used and cited. Essays by Ann Eljenholm Nichols,
Elizabeth Eisenstein and Richard Marks all focus, in different
ways, on the relationship between religious text and image. Three
biographical essays by Jeremy Catto, Alison McHardy and
Maureen Jurkowski describe widely varying careers in the
late medieval church, from the archbishop of Canterbury to an
obscure Lollard preacher. Lollardy is the subject also of Norman
Tanners essay on the conciliar treatment of heresy and the
condemnation of Wyclifs teachings, while Ian Forrest
considers the role of defamation and heresy in late medieval social
life. Andrew Hope compares reputation and reality in the career of
the early Tudor reformer John Colet, and John Bossy examines the
devotional compositions of the Elizabethan nobleman, Lord Henry
Howard. While providing ample testimony of Astons influence,
these essays are also of considerable even seminal importance in their own right, and deserve a place on the shelf of
any serious student of the period.

Anselm and Abelard offers a wide-ranging collection of
papers on two of the most well-known medieval thinkers, Anselm of
Canterbury and Peter Abelard. Drawn from a conference held in
Stuttgart in 2004, the sixteen papers by leading scholars in the
field focus on the lives and thought of these two thinkers. The
majority of the contributions expore the intellectual world of the
medieval west in the century between the mid-eleventh and the
mid-twelfth, a period crucial in forming intellectual frameworks
that would shape subsequent western thought.
The first eight papers focus on Anselm, the second eight on
comparisons and contrasts with Abelard. All of Anselm's and most of
Abelard's major works are examined in the course of the collection.
Contributors explore key philosophical themes of thruth, original
sin, logic, reason. Others tease out the often intricate networks
between intellectual communities in the period to reveal fresh
insights into the development of both Anselm and Abelard's thought.
This includes consideration of the physical way in which Anselm's
corpus was collected and preserved. Connections between literary
artifice and theological observation are investigated, as are
Anselm's notion of gift and western intellectual attitudes towards
Jewish and Islamic thought. Outside the mid-twelfth century the use
made of Anselm's thought and historical existence by thirteenth
century scholars and by the post-reformation Church in england are
also considered.
This is an important and thought-provoking collection, which
shows the continuing inspiration to be drawn from both Anselm and
Abelard as well as providing a thorough investigation of the
contexts in which their thought developed, evolved, was expressed
ans was understood by contemporaries and subsequent
generations.

Every new treatment of the seven
deadly sins as contemporary sociological or psychological
phenomena, or in popularized form in the print media and the visual
arts, can be considered part of the reception history of both the
vices and the scholarship on the sins - making it all the more
urgent for medieval scholarship to re-examine the vitally important
role the vices played in the period of their broadest and original
dissemination. In spite of many recent treatments of the vices in
the Middle Ages, for modern scholarship to a large degree only one
book has served as a comprehensive guide to this area of medieval
thought: Morton Bloomfield's pioneering The Seven Deadly
Sins, published more than fifty years ago.
The present collection of essays
offers the best new scholarship on the vices and aims thus both to
re-examine the work begun by Bloomfield and to suggest
possibilities for future research in this field in the coming
decades. The areas touched on by the essays are numerous: from
late-antique and late-medieval demonology to scholastic analytic
philosophy, from sins of the tongue to 'motions' of the heart, from
penitentials and sermons to illuminations in bibles
moralisées and works in the conflictus genre,
from discourse analysis to textual criticism, from gender and queer
studies to social history and Begriffsgeschichte, properly
so called. The study of the vices is ripe for participation in all
these forms of theoretical discussion and cultural criticism. The
contributors have not attempted to be exhaustive in any of them,
but rather to point the way to the fruitfulness of further
treatments of the vices in medieval culture.

The scholarship of Jocelyn Nigel
Hillgarth touches the whole history of medieval Spain, the history of
Christianity and its institutional practices, and the medieval
intellectual achievement. The essays by students and friends gathered
here honour the remarkable reach of that lifework and the sympathies in
which it remains rooted.
Essays by David Abulafia, Anthony
Bonner, Harvey Hames, and Charles H. Lohr explore the writings of the
Majorcan scholastic, reformer and missionary, Ramon Lull. The broader
history of Spain may be found in Jacques Fontaine's consideration
of the eponymous founder of Spain, Hispalus; in Manuel C. Díaz y
Díaz's discussion of royal liturgy in Visigothic Spain; in Lucy K.
Pick's examination of the tenth-century queen-regent of Léon,
Elvira; and in Mark Meyerson's exploration of the fate of the Jews
of Morvedre (Sagunto) in 1348.
Other papers study the complex
interaction between the institutional structures of the church and the
spirit that animated them: Clarissa Atkinson compares the biographies
of Anselm of Canterbury and Christina of Markyate to uncover differing
sources of authority. Giles Constable argues that the various
historical and legendary lives of Odo Arpinus - nobleman, Cluniac
prior, and crusader in Old French epic - reveal an underlying
coherence. In a study of Dubrovnik's Dalmatian martyrs, Richard
Gyug shows how ecclesiastical politics as well as economic and
religious rivalry work to determine the structures of civic identity.
Phyllis Pobst examines the archbishop Eudes Rigaud's record of his
visitations in the diocese of Rouen, and William Lundell studies the
response of the Carthusian order in the face of schism.
Texts lie at the heart of a concluding
group of four essays: the writings of John Cassian on the relationship
of the eremitic and cenobitic lives in Stephen Driver's work; the
Norman history of Dudo of St-Quentin in Leah Shupkow's essay; the
translation of philosophical texts into architectures of stone at
Chartres in Édouard Jeauneau's article; and the Christian use of
Muslim commentaries on the Latin translations of the Qur'an in
Thomas E. Burman's paper.

Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 80,00 | | Descrizione | This volume gathers together the major essays of the late Frank Ephraim Talmage, who served as professor in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Toronto until his death in 1988. Talmage's research interests emerged from his study of David Kimhi on whose family and intellectual world he became the leading authority. Talmage's study of Joseph Kimhi's biblical purism, newly translated for this volume, offers, for instance, a fresh look at the polemicist and exegete through the prism of grammatical works. Of the exegetical studies included in this volume, perhaps the best known is 'Apples of Gold', a wide-ranging exploration of the power of allegory in medieval Jewish thought that has proved a standard in its field. 'Trauma at Tortosa', another seminal, deeply-felt essay, analyzes Abraham Rimoch's commentary on the Book of Psalms in order to understand the exegete's state of mind and his psychological withdrawal in the wake of the disputation at Tortosa in 1413-1414, a painful event that led to mass conversions of Jews to Christianity. The polemical studies in the collection focus on Jewish-Christian relations in Spain, Provence and Bohemia. Several of these studies are here translated for the first time. Talmage was one of the few scholars to have worked on Bohemian Jewry, and his writings offer new insights into a fascinating Jewish community influenced by both Ahskenazi and Sephardic traditions, and a world in which popular religious sentiment and intellectual discourse were frequently at loggerheads. A bibliography of Talmage's writings and comprehensive indexes complete the volume.
