‎Fundamental to all translation work, the concept of 'displacement' allows one to take into account the multiple successive states inhering in a single text, and to interpret these variations. Translation is, in effect, a form of transfer; more specifically, it involves a movement from one context to another, be it national, social, political, historical, linguistic or religious. The texts examined here illustrate, each in their unique way, the relationship between contextual change and audience. They are also the product of subtle interactions between a variety of elements, the result of which is a 'reinvention' of their respective roles and uses over time. For example, a text intending to entertain may also have educational outcomes; a book of local miracles may attract pilgrims and contribute to the economic life of a monastery; a text and its translations may at some point be appropriated for polemical purposes, while a library of translated texts founded on humanist principals may also serve political ends. Furthermore, each successive adaptation and its accompanying annotations impacts upon the tonality of a text. While this diversity of meanings may inspire some (such as the medieval poet Marie de France), it moreover raises a number of important and difficult questions for the modern translator. How, for example, does one translate the 'harmonics' underlying a series of mystical puns? The 'solution' usually involves a compromise that both enhances and undermines the translated text. This volume presents a selection of twenty-eight papers delivered at the Seventh International Conference dedicated to The Theory and Practice of Translation in the Middle Ages, which took place at the University of Paris III - Nouvelle Sorbonne in July 2004. The period covered by the texts and their translations extends from antiquity to the present day. The literary and critical breadth of these papers, as well as the rigorous interrogation of the modern translation theory, illustrates the remarkable vitality and diversity of current scholarship in this field. Au coeur de toute activite de traduction, le concept de deplacement permet de rendre compte des multiples etats successifs d'un meme texte et d'en interpreter les variations. Toute traduction est en effet une translation, c'est-a-dire un changement d'environnement, que ce dernier soit national, social, politique, historique, linguistique ou ecclesial. Les textes examines ici temoignent chacun a sa maniere des transformations qu'ils ont subies lorsque, changeant de langue, de style ou d'epoque, ils ont change de destinataires. La dynamique qui les traverse se nourrit de subtils cotoiements : un desir legitime de divertir peut fort bien s'accommoder d'une intention didactique ; un recueil de miracles locaux peut attirer des pelerins, contribuant ainsi a la vie economique d'un monastere ; un texte et ses traductions peuvent devenir l'objet d'utilisations polemiques ; se constituer en humaniste une bibliotheque de traductions peut aussi servir un dessein politique. Par ailleurs les transpositions successives et leurs gloses, comme en musique, entrainent des changements de tonalite. Ce 'surplus' de sens qu'encourage Marie de France pourra cependant se heurter a des resistances : comment par exemple preserver d'une langue a l'autre toutes les harmoniques que libere un enchainement de jeux de mots mystiques ... Ainsi l'inevitable compromis qui s'imposera au traducteur sera souvent le choix d'un enrichissement double d'une deperdition. Ce volume presente une selection des communications entendues lors du septieme colloque international consacre a la theorie et la pratique de la traduction des textes au Moyen Age qui s'est tenu a l'Universite de Paris III- Sorbonne Nouvelle en juillet 2004. La periode couverte par ces textes et leurs traductions s'etend de l'Antiquite jusqu'a nos jours. Ce sont au total vingt-huit etudes qui sont ici proposees. La richesse des domaines abordes, la haute technicite des analyses, de meme que la place faite aux questionnements de la traductologie moderne illustrent la remarquable vitalite des etudes actuelles relatives aux multiples aspects de la traduction des textes medievaux.

‎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.‎

‎C'est dans le domaine de la Philosophie Medievale que l'activite de Maria Candida Pacheco, professeur aux remarquables qualites pedagogiques, s'avere la plus intense, bien qu'elle ait consacre ses premieres etudes a la patristique grecque. Tant dans son enseignement que dans les etudes qu'elle a publiees se manifeste une attention particuliere aux formes et au dynamisme de la rationalite, a la relation entre la philosophie, les institutions et les contextes de transmission du savoir (ecoles, universite, cour), a la place et aux repercussions des sources grecques, patristiques, arabes et hebraiques chez les penseurs latins, a l'emergence de la theologie en tant que science, a l'encyclopedisme et aux classifications des sciences, au theme de l'homme microcosme, aux translationes studiorum qui ponctuent le Moyen Age. A l'occasion de son soixante-dixieme anniversaire, ses disciples et collegues ont tenu a lui rendre hommage a travers la publication de cet ouvrage. Les etudes qui y figurent, sont dues a des universitaires de neuf pays differents et s'etendent chronologiquement de l'aube de la patristique jusqu'a la seconde scolastique, abordant dans leur diversite quelques auteurs et themes qui ont suscite son plus vif interet.

‎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.

‎Learning and Understanding in the Old Norse World Essays in Honour of Margaret Clunies Ross,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2007 Hardback, XIV+456 p., 7 b/w ill., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503525808.‎

‎This volume presents twenty essays by leading scholars of Old Norse which bring into focus the nature of learned traditions - both oral and written - in medieval Scandinavia and the interpretation and re-interpretation of them over time. Theoretical frameworks for understanding Old Norse literature is the initial topic of the collection, which then moves on to present recent work on Old Norse myth and society; current perspectives on oral traditions in performance and text; and reflections on medieval ideas about language, both vernacular and Latin. The collection is rounded off by a section on prolonged traditions - the transformation of local and imported traditions into new literary forms. Individual essays in the volume offer significant primary research as well as reconsiderations of key issues in scholarship, their subjects ranging widely, both conceptually and chronologically, around the twin themes of learning and understanding. Like the research of the volume's honorand, Margaret Clunies Ross, Learning and Understanding in the Old Norse World exemplifies the diversity and vigour of current research in the field of Old Norse and draws together philological, literary, historical and anthropological perspectives on the subject. Languages : English, Old Norse.‎

‎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.

‎Law and Theology in Twelfth-Century England. The Works of Master Vacarius (c. 1115/20 - c. 1200),‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2007 Hardback, X+322 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503517827.‎

‎This book explores the legal and theological thought of Master Vacarius (c.1115/20 - c.1200), the renowned twelfth-century jurist. It focuses on this Italian master's four works, composed in the second half of the twelfth century, which deal with the resolution of conflict in law and theology. Vacarius is a paradox for scholars. They have found it difficult to reconcile his role as a legal teacher, notably through his textbook the Liber pauperum ('Book of the Poor'), which established a school of Roman law at Oxford, with his extra-legal' works on marriage, Christology and heretical theology. This study accounts for this paradox by exploring these three extra-legal treatises, composed in the 1160s and 1170s, in light of Vacarius' legal textbook. The author argues that Vacarius applies the legal method of the ius commune (European common law) to theological and sacramental debates. In this way, Vacarius represents a trend in medieval intellectual history, particular to the twelfth-century renaissance, which has been little appreciated to date - the hermeneutic of the 'lawyer-theologian'.

‎Autant que sa legende, qui traverse, hante ou fascine plusieurs histoires, l?oeuvre d?Abu al-Walid Muhammad Ibn Ru?d (1126-1198) est d?une singuliere richesse. Juridique, medicale, theologique ou philosophique, sous forme de traites ou de commentaires, elle est batie d?emblee sur divers pans, en verite peu etanches, et sans doute, pour certains, opiniatrement repris par leur auteur. Elle est en outre solidaire de son legs et de sa propagation, puisque son sort, comme on sait, sera de circuler aussi bien en hebreu qu?en latin entre differentes aires geographiques et culturelles : souvent mutilee, deformee, mais sauvee aussi, tantot forte de sa clarte exegetique, ouverte a un destin de manuel, tantot honnie, ou assumee, pour la puissance de scandale ou la radicalite qu?on y decelait. L?objet du colloque fut d?etudier certains elements cruciaux de cette pensee coherente, mais dynamique, multiforme et accidentee, et de retracer quelques etapes de la Rezeptionsgeschichte de l?oeuvre du Commentateur chez les docteurs juifs et latins.‎

‎Ce quatrieme volume bilingue (francais-anglais) est ne des echanges d'une journee d'etude qui s'est deroulee au printemps 1999 a Sherbrooke au Quebec. Plusieurs etudes ont ete ajoutees aux communications presentees a cette occasion. Toutes tentent de repondre a la question : quels textes evangeliques pouvait-on lire en francais avant l'installation definitive de Calvin a Geneve et la publication de la premiere version francaise de l'Institution de la religion chrestienne de 1541 ? Les approches de ces contributions sont tres diverses, envisageant tantot les auteurs, tantot les imprimeurs, mais aussi la constitution des bibliotheques, l'histoire de l'art, la traduction-adaptation des textes, la presence d'epigraphe sur la page de titre, etc. Guillaume Farel est un peu l'ame de la Reforme francaise a ses debuts. Un chapitre presente l'ensemble de son action pour le livre, un autre analyse son oeuvre majeure, le Summaire. Marguerite de Navarre a ete le grand soutien des evangeliques. Elle n'est pas seulement presente a travers l'etude d'un catechisme dont elle a commande une copie manuscrite, mais aussi dans la plupart des autres etudes. Une autre femme, sa protegee, Marie d'Ennetieres, fait l'objet de deux travaux. Par ailleurs, il est question de l'action des imprimeurs, Martin Lempereur a Anvers, Pierre de Vingle a Geneve et Neuchatel. D'autres approches sont encore proposees : l'etude de la bibliotheque d'Anne Boleyn, la reecriture et l'expurgation d'une preface d'Erasme, le recours a l'epigraphe Lisez et jugez sur les pages de titre. L'etude de la fin d'un best-seller catholique souligne en contre-point la montee du livre evangelique. Enfin un chapitre de conclusion tente une vue d'ensemble sur le destin du livre evangelique en francais avant l'entree en scene de Jean Calvin. Le recueil propose aussi l'edition de quelques textes peu connus : une Epistre chrestienne de 1524 environ, peut-etre de Farel, le premier psaume traduit par Marot livre a l'imprimerie, sans parler de textes dont la transcription est ajoutee en annexe de plusieurs etudes. Bref, une vue d'ensemble sur un sujet parfois neglige au profit des annees sur lesquelles domine la figure de Jean Calvin. Languages : French, Latin.‎
