‎Worldview and Thought of Tolomeo Fiadoni (Ptolemy of Lucca),‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2009 Hardback, XVIII+276 p., 1 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503529264.‎

‎Tolomeo Fiadoni (1236-1327) was one of the most important political theorists and historians of the Middle Ages. He was central to developing a theory for the practices of Northern Italian republicanism and was hostile to kingship, portraying it as despotic and inappropriate for virtuous and freedom-loving people. He was the first writer to compare Aristotle's examples of Greek mixed constitutions - Sparta, Crete, and Carthage - with the Roman Republic, the ancient Hebrew polity, the Church, and medieval communes, yet he remained a staunch defender of the absolute secular and spiritual monarchy of the pope. Blythe explores various tensions in Tolomeo's work that are often overlooked in scholarly treatments of him, and which derive from cultural preconceptions and the diverse influences on him: Aristotle, Augustine, apologists for papal power, his life in the Dominican Order, his educational experience with Thomas Aquinas, and his social position as a member of Northern Italy's ruling class. These factors exerted contradictory influences on Tolomeo and led him to a sometimes unsuccessful intellectual struggle for consistency. This book is the first full-length study of Tolomeo's thought and it gives full consideration not only to the political writings for which he is most known, but also to his historical and exegetical works. It is the companion to The Life and Works of Tolomeo Fiadoni (Ptolemy of Lucca). Languages : English, Latin.‎

‎Singing with Angels Liturgy, Music, and Art in the Gradual of Gisela von Kerssenbrock,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2007 Hardback, VIII+384 p., 124 b/w ill. + 44 colour ill., 21 x 27,5. ISBN 9782503516806.‎

‎A prized possession of the Cistercian convent of Marienbrunn in Rulle near Osnabruck in northern Germany was its richly illuminated gradual dating to c. 1300, which is of great significance in the history of medieval art for several reasons. With 52 historiated initials iconographically complex in their literary quotations from the liturgy, the manuscript ranks as one of the most lavishly decorated books of its type to survive. Painted in an elegant courtly Gothic style, it is ascribed in a prefatory inscription to the nun Gisela von Kerssenbrock, who wrote, notated, and decorated the manuscript "with golden letters and beautiful images." Such an encyclopedic listing of a scribe-artist's labors is unparalleled in medieval scribal colophons. The high quality of the miniatures ranks her among the most gifted women artists of the Middle Ages. Gisela is depicted in two self-portraits within the manuscript, in one of which she is leading the nuns of Rulle in singing the Christmas hymn, visual evidence that she was the choirmistress at this convent. The manuscript's images reflect the intellectual ambience of encloistered nuns who were steeped in the annual liturgical cycle of feasts with its associated bible readings, theological commentary, sermons, music, dramatic ritual, and artistic decoration. As it was used in the nuns' daily celebration of the mass, the book is an eloquent witness of the communal religious life of medieval women rather than their private meditations or mystical experiences.This study explores the imagery and texts associated with major feasts of the liturgical year and the novel ways in which music and text are woven into the artistic program of Gisela's manuscript. In particular, her book shows the seminal importance of the Easter celebration for convent life, as well over half of its illustrations are clustered in the Easter season; and the manuscript repeatedly gives artistic expression to the nuns' hopes of heaven.

‎What Nature Does Not Teach. Didactic Literature in the Medieval and Early-Modern Periods,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2008 Hardback, XIV+530 p., 3 b/w ill., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503525969.‎

‎This interdisciplinary volume takes as its subject the multi-faceted genre of didactic literature (the literature of instruction) which constituted the cornerstone of literary enterprise and social control in medieval and early modern Europe. Following an Introduction that raises questions of didactic meaning, intent, audience, and social effect, nineteen chapters deal with the construction of the individual didactic voice and persona in the premodern period, didactic literature for children, women as the creators, objects, and consumers of didactic literature, the influence of advice literature on adult literacy, piety, and heresy, and the revision of classical didactic forms and motifs in the early modern period. Attention is paid throughout to the continuities of didactic literature across the medieval and early modern periods?its intertextuality, reliance on tradition, and self-renewal?and to questions of gender, authority, control, and the socially constructed nature of advice. Contributors particularly explore the intersection of advice literature with real lives, considering the social impact of both individual texts and the didactic genre as a whole. The volume deals with a wide variety of texts from the early Middle Ages to the eighteenth century, written in languages from Latin through the European vernaculars to Byzantine Greek and Russian, offering a comprehensive overview of this pervasive and influential genre.

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2010 Hardback, XII+306 p., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503528588.‎

‎This collection addresses the cultural construction of lament and mourning in the Middle Ages of northern Europe, with a particular focus on grief at the loss of children.

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2000 Hardback, XVI+436 p., 160 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503509792.‎

‎Profiting from the development of newly flexible models of gender, literacy, the political, the social, and the domestic, this volume on medieval women considers the broadest implications for the study of medieval culture without simply re-absorbing medieval women into invisibility. In this themed collection of 24 articles by literary, historical and archaeological scholars, the study of medieval women is confidently and freshly mainstream. Profiting from the development of newly flexible models of gender, literacy, the political, the social, and the domestic, the volume is non-separatist, exploratory both of new source materials and new readings of established sources, and able to consider the broadest implications for the study of medieval culture without simply re-absorbing medieval women into invisibility. Grouped under the headings of matters of reading, of conduct and place, the essays move from legal cases to actual buildings and conceptions of the household to conduct books and chronicles to romances and saints' lives to the medieval unconscious and back again, exemplifying the mature interdisciplinarity of current work on medieval women.

‎Les Disputatiunculae tenues depuis plusieurs annees au Musee de la Maison d'Erasme ont pour ambition de lancer un coup de projecteur sur des aspects moins connus du monde du livre a l'epoque de la Renaissance. Durant la reunion des 15 et 16 decembre 2006, une bonne trentaine de participants se sont interesses aux outils scientifiques dont disposaient les humanistes pour leurs travaux d'erudition. Notre publication veut faire partager ces debats a un public plus large. Ce volume est organise en trois parties. Dans un premier temps, une synthese est donnee des instruments de travail du Moyen-Age (Olga Weyers) au XVIIe siecle, en etudiant la lexicographie latine du Quattrocento (Jean-Louis Charlet), les dictionnaires latins humanistes (Martine Furno) ou les concordances bibliques latines (Max Engammare). Une seconde partie s'interesse plus particulierement aux bibliographies : aux catalogues de la foire de Francfort (Jean-Francois Gilmont) et a la bibliotheque de La Croix du Maine (Catherine Magnien). La derniere partie est consacree aux humanistes createurs d'instruments de travail : a Petrus Apherdianus (Dirk Sacre), aux instruments de la traduction (Isabelle Diu) et a l'index thematique des Adages d'Erasme (Alexandre Vanautgaerden). L'ensemble de ces contributions permet de se faire une idee de l'environnement dans lequel les humanistes travaillent et de leurs methodes souvent originales, bien utiles a l'heure d'Internet et des metacatalogues.

‎Insupportable mais fascinant. Jean Calvin, ses amis, ses ennemis et les autres,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2012 Paperback, VIII+292 p., 15 x 25. ISBN 9782503545134.‎

‎Apres avoir pratique Jean Calvin pendant plus de quarante-cinq ans, surtout dans sa production imprimee, Jean-Francois Gilmont propose un portrait du reformateur dessine a travers ses relations sociales. Il cerne son action sur la societe de son temps. Cet homme a en effet exerce une emprise exceptionnelle sur son entourage, proche et lointain. Au cours des ages, il continue a provoquer tout a la fois une fascination inconditionnelle et des rejets definitifs. Pour tenter d'expliquer le rayonnement de cet homme insupportable mais fascinant, le projet est ne de reunir une galerie de portraits qui montrent les attitudes parfois contradictoires de Calvin et de son entourage. Les relations de multiples personnages avec le reformateur mettent en lumiere une diversite des approches et des contacts, positifs ou negatifs. Il n'y a pas seulement les amis fideles, ni ceux qui sont devenus des ennemis mortels. Entre les deux, il y a d'autres rencontres, que ce soit avec de nobles princesses ou d'humbles tacherons de la Reforme. Ici, le maladroit Mulot benefice d'une indulgence inouie, tandis que la, Marie d'Ennetieres fait eclater la misogynie du reformateur. Et ainsi de suite dans une cinquantaine de rencontres. La recherche, fondee sur les sources contemporaines, offre des images contrastees. Les qualites eminentes qui caracterisent le reformateur n'empechent pas de denoncer ses defauts, dont certains sont tout aussi eminents. Cette volonte d'eviter tant la calvinolatrie que la clavinophobie donne a ces etres du passe un visage plus humain. Ces peres de la Reforme melangent projets grandioses et mesquineries tout comme les hommes d'aujourd'hui. Languages : French, Old French.‎
