‎In Defence of Faith, Against the Manichaeans. Critical Edition and Historical, Literary and Theological Study of the Treatise Aduersus Manichaeos, Attributed to Evodius of Uzalis‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 520 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503589954.‎

‎Summary The subject of this publication is the treatise Aduersus Manichaeos, attributed to Evodius of Uzalis. Evodius was a friend and contemporary of Augustine of Hippo. The treatise Aduersus Manichaeos is an important source on the North African Catholic church and its polemics against the Manichaeans. Although the treatise is strongly influenced by the anti-Manichaean writings of Augustine of Hippo, it also offers much original and likely authentic information on the Manichaean movement. Thus far, however, no systematic study had been conducted on this anti-Manichaean treatise attributed to Evodius. As a result, some of its historical circumstances have been shrouded in mystery. The present volume reconstructs the circumstances in which Aduersus Manichaeos was written, and studies the treatise in relation to its fifth-century North African context. The study offers a literary, historical and theological analysis of Aduersus Manichaeos. The publication also complements the study of Aduersus Manichaeos with a new critical edition of the original Latin text, with a facing English translation.‎

‎autre catholicisme au temps des Reformes? Claude d'Espence et la theologie humaniste a Paris au XVIe siecle. Etudes originales, publications d'inedits, catalogue de ses editions anciennes,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2010 Paperback, 457 p., 15 x 25. ISBN 9782503530550.‎

‎Claude d'Espence est loin d'etre un inconnu pour les specialistes de la France du XVIe siecle ou du temps des Reformes. Cette belle figure a toujours suscite l'interet que merite un ? moyenneur ? en un temps de dechirures, un homme de paix en une periode de guerre entre chretiens. L'historiographie moderne a rendu justice a toute l'importance de son role et a divers aspects de sa pensee religieuse complexe. Le sujet est pourtant loin d'etre epuise et diverses recherches tres recentes ou en cours ont apporte du nouveau. Il nous a semble utile de reunir ici les auteurs de ces recherches, historiens et litteraires, Suisses et Francais, pour une rencontre qui est la premiere avant tout centree sur Claude d'Espence. Quelques points sont particulierement privilegies dans cet ouvrage : le lien avec Erasme, qui permet plus generalement de mettre l'accent sur l'originalite de la pensee de notre theologien ou au contraire son lien avec des courants humanistes plus globaux ; les annees 1540, qui sont celles de la ? prise de parole ? de d'Espence, avec la fameuse affaire des predications de Careme de Saint-Merry en 1543, dont Julien Ferrant reprend le dossier a partir de l'interrogatoire de d'Espence devant ses juges de la faculte, et les publications de 1547-1548, qui voient le fameux predicateur utiliser pour la premiere fois le medium de l'imprimerie et le faire en francais. Seront ainsi presentees les Homelies sur la parabole de l'Enfant prodigue, le Traite contre l'erreur vieil et nouvel des predestinez, et l'Institution du prince chrestien. La seconde partie de notre journee insiste plus sur des aspects moins lies directement a la theologie ou a la spiritualite : les liens avec le monde politique et principalement L'Hospital, les realisations litteraires, le reseau social. Mais ces divers aspects ne peuvent en realite etre separes les uns des autres. La puissante originalite theologique de d'Espence n'aurait pu se developper sans le solide reseau d'amis, de parents, de protecteurs dont il disposait par sa naissance et qu'il a su remarquablement entretenir et faire fructifier sa vie durant. Et en retour, nul doute que ses positions religieuses et la notoriete qu'elles lui ont procuree lui ont attire des sympathies et des soutiens nouveaux ou consolide d'anciens patronages. Conseiller des rois de Francois Ier a Catherine de Medicis, intime des elites parlementaires, lie tres etroitement au cardinal de Lorraine, sans, semble-t-il, connaitre la meme disgrace que L'Hospital apres le tournant de 1562, interlocuteur de Bucer, Calvin, Beze, mais aussi des papes et des peres du concile de Trente, d'Espence n'est pas un spectateur, mais bien un acteur du drame religieux et humain du XVIe siecle.

‎This collection of essays examines various aspects of the inter-relation between a number of different medieval 'European communities' and the plays they performed. There has been a marked revival of interest in medieval drama in recent years, much of it informed by an increasing understanding that drama is not just literature, but a social and indeed commercial event, essentially a communal effort, inextricably bound up with social structures. This collection of essays examines various aspects of the inter-relation between a number of different 'European communities' and the plays they performed, covering a range of theatres and play-types, and providing an international perspective on performance cultures across Europe. Contributors include Alan Hindley, Introduction; Lynette Muir, 'European communities and medieval drama'; Graham A. Runnalls, 'Drama and community in late medieval Paris'; Robert L.A.

‎Peter T. Ricketts, Honorary Professor of French at the University of Birmingham, and Emeritus Professor at Queen Mary and Westfield, University of London, has led a long and distinguished career in the field of Romance Philology, and in Occitan studies in particular. In addition to his leading role in the Association Internationale d'Etudes Occitanes (AIEO), he has devoted many years in the service of Occitan Studies. Peter T. Ricketts is perhaps especially noted for an in-progress edition (with Cyril P. Hershon) of the Breviari d'Amor by Matfre Ermengaud, and for the Concordance of Medieval Occitan (CMO), a vast database the aim of which is to document the entire corpus of medieval Occitan texts and to make them available in electronic format as an active and exhaustive working tool for all scholars in the field. The first tranche of this project, on the poetry of the troubadours (Brepols 2001), has already been received with wide critical acclaim. The present publication includes articles by 63 specialists in fields as wide-ranging as history, literature, linguistics, philology, musicology, metrics and philosophy, addressing sources and topics from a variety of provenances in Old French and Old Occitan, as also in Medieval Latin, Castilian, Catalan, Middle High German, Hispano-Arabic, and Hebrew. It is divided into two major sections. The first is concerned with narrative texts: romance, epic, and religious literature; the second with the poetry of the troubadours: firstly their lyric legacy, its sources and influences, the vidas which accompany their transmission, the troubadours themselves, but also instances of their non-lyric output such as proverbs and ensenhamens. Also among the articles are editions of texts, some hitherto unpublished. Taken together, this collection represents a very broad panorama of current research, and offers a major contribution to the advancement of Medieval Studies. " Honorary Professor " de Francais a l'Universite de Birmingham, et Professeur Emerite a Queen Mary and Westfield, Universite de Londres, Peter T.

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2003 Hardback, XXX+430 p., 155 b/w ill. + 26 colour ill., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503511559.‎

‎This important collection of essays represents a wide variety of new approaches to the deployment of images by historians. Methodological debates and historiographical concerns are explored by distinguished international scholars. Ground-breaking technological innovations in the last two decades of the twentieth century have led to the development of huge image databases, offering outstanding new opportunities for comparison, analysis and interrogation. This was apparent from the database demonstrations at the congress on History and Images in Copenhagen in 1999, part of the University of Copenhagen's Visual Construction of Realities research programme. Several of the papers included here summarise recent research or disclose the potential of the new technologies for posing - and answering - novel types of question. A common concern of many contributors to this volume has been the reconfiguring of Art History to encompass areas which have often been viewed as marginal - geographically, physically or intellectually, for example. As each of the nineteen essays demonstrates, approaches to the employment and interpretation of the visual image by historians have been increasingly rendered obsolete or inappropriate by postmodern intellectual diversity and by the dramatic development of technology. The subtitle of the book ('Towards a New Iconology') reveals that a potent new dialogue between historian and image and between contemporary and historical constructions of reality, is in the process of construction.

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2006 Hardback, X+262 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503517780.‎

‎The essays within this volume unite study of the medieval household with that of women's religious practices, providing a new avenue of enquiry the history of the church. Both as God's house and as the dwellings of his monastic and other followers, the history of the church is in part that of an institution conceived as a household. In recent years, secular life and lifestyles in late antiquity and the Middle Ages have been illuminated through renewed attention to the economic and social history of households, while scholarship on women has produced studies of the lives and the devotional reading of laywomen and women religious. This volume is a pioneering collection that unites study of the household with women's religious practices as a focus of enquiry. It moves beyond consideration of the church's roles in women's history to the impact of women's householding on the history of the church. Languages : English.‎

‎Knowing of Woman's Kind in Childing A Middle English Trotula-Text,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2002 Hardback, XII+169 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503510736.‎

‎This study comprises a critical edition, using all the five extant MSS, of the most popular of the Middle English gynaecological texts deriving from the Latin Trotula-text. This study comprises a critical edition, using all the five extant MSS, of the most popular of the Middle English gynaecological texts deriving from the Latin Trotula-text. The Knowing of Women's Kind in Childing is a short fifteenth-century prose treatise which claims to be translated from Latin texts (or Latin and French, according to some manuscripts) that derive ultimately from the Greek. It has a unique importance as it was written by a woman, for a female audience, and on the subject of women. The text considers women's physical constitution, what makes them different from men (primarily the possession of a womb) and, in particular, the three types of problem that the womb causes. That it was written for a female audience is made explicit in the Prologue where the writer explains that he has translated this text out of French and Latin into English because literate women are more likely to read English than any other language and can then pass on the information it contains to illiterate women. More controversial must be the claim that this text was written by a woman. The text is a translation, no doubt by a man, but one of his ultimate sources was a text attributed to 'Trotula', in the Middle Ages believed to be the name of a midwife or gynaecologist from Salerno, who wrote extensively on women's ailments, childbirth and beauty care. Recent work shows that such a woman, probably named Trota, did exist and that she did write a gynaecological treatise, the Trotula or 'little Trota', which became closely associated with two other texts not by her. All three however became very popular and were widely disseminated under her name. Large sections of The Knowing of Woman's Kind come, via an Old French translation, from a version of the Liber de Sinthomatibus Mulierum (the Cum auctor), the first element in this Trotula ensemble.

‎This book presents new translations and introductions to all sources related to the life of St Macrina the Younger (c. 327-379). This book presents St Macrina the Younger (c. 327-379), eldest sister of Ss Basil the Great and Gregory of Nyssa. All the sources of Macrina's life are gathered together, translated afresh into English, and provided with up-to-date introductions and notes. Documents include: Testimonies of St Basil, St Gregory Nazianzen's epigrams on Macrina and her siblings; Gregory of Nyssa's letter 19 which appears in English for the first time; The Life of Macrina, a jewel of fourth-century Christian biography; and the dialogue On the Soul and Resurrection in which Macrina appears as the Teacher expounding Christian doctrine with reasoned argument. The introductory shows how Macrina gradually changed the family household of Annisa into the proto-monastic community that became model of the monasticism that has come down under Basil's name. A specially commissioned icon, a map of Central Anatolia, and a report of the author's expeditions to ancient Pontus are included. Languages : English, Greek.‎

‎This volume contains translatiuons of all of the relevant medieval sources on Mary of Oignies (1177-1213), was one of the first holy women to transform religious life in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Mary of Oignies (1177-1213) was one of the first holy women to transform religious life in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Living as a beguine and a free anchoress she guided those who came to speak with her, both high clerics and common people alike. In the oral world of medieval Christianity one disregarded her word at considerable risk. This volume contains all of the relevant medieval sources on Mary of Oignies, translated by Margot King and Hugh Feiss OSB. They include: the Life written by her confessor, James of Vitry, and the Supplement thereof by Thomas of Cantimpre; the liturgical office of her feast-day; and the 'History of the Priory of Oignies'. Also included are an introductory essay about her life and significance, written by Anneke Mulder-Bakker; a study about Mary as a 'friend to the saints' by Brenda Bolton; and the manuscript transmission of her Life, by Suzan Folkerts. The volume therefore provides a comprehensive 'companion' to Mary of Oignies and her wider significance in medieval and modern scholarship. Languages : English.‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2013 Hardback, approx. X+242 p., 2 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503542508.‎

‎The essays collected in this volume deal with the multilingual cultures of later medieval England and Wales and aim to recover the complexities of spoken and written communication in the later medieval period. This book is devoted to the study of multilingual Britain in the later medieval period, from the Norman Conquest to John Skelton. It brings together experts from different disciplines ? history, linguistics, and literature - in a joint effort to recover the complexities of spoken and written communication in the Middle Ages. Each author focuses on one specific text or text type, and demonstrates by example what careful analysis can reveal about the nature of medieval multilingualism and about medieval attitudes to the different living languages of later medieval Britain. There are chapters on charters, sermons, religious prose, glossaries, manorial records, biblical translations, chronicles, and the macaronic poetry of William Langland and John Skelton. By addressing the full range of languages spoken and written in later medieval Britain (Latin, French, Old Norse, Welsh, Cornish, English, Dutch, and Hebrew), this collection reveals the linguistic situation of the period in its true diversity and shows the resourcefulness of medieval people when faced with the need to communicate. For medieval writers and readers, the ability to move between languages opened up a wealth of possibilities: possibilities for subtle changes of register, for counterpoint, for linguistic playfulness, and, perhaps most importantly, for texts which extend a particular challenge to the reader to engage with them.

‎The importance of the Legenda aurea for the Late Middle Ages can hardly be overestimated, as witness the impressive manuscript tradition of the original Latin text as well the different vernacular versions. This huge hagiographic collection, organised per circulum anni, can be considered as a compendium of the medieval religious worldview: it offers insights into the (deuterocanonic) tradition of the New Testament, the lives and deaths of the most important saints, the history of the church of Rome, and it can be read as a catechism in narrative form. But the Legenda aurea is also a treasure-trove of stories, motifs and themes splendidly reflecting medieval mentality in its entirety. The influence of the Legenda aurea on literature and iconography is so far-reaching, that the book is an indispensable aid for the 'reading' of countless medieval texts, paintings and sculptures. The text was translated several times into Middle Dutch and of the first southern Dutch translation (ca. 1357), made by Petrus Naghel (? 1395) in the Charterhouse of Herne, a modern edition is now available. This edition of the Gulden legende - the second volume of a set of two - contains the legends of Pope Urban to the Feast of Church Dedication, and carries a concise introduction. The first volume of the set will appear in print in 2013; it contains the remaining legends and an expansive introduction comprising an introduction of text and translator, a description of the manuscript used for the edition, a statement of editorial policy and indices of names. Het belang van de Legenda aurea in de late Middeleeuwen kan moeilijk overschat worden, getuige de indrukwekkende handschriftelijke overlevering van zowel de oorspronkelijke Latijnse tekst als van de verschillende volkstalige versies. Deze omvangrijke hagiografische verzameling, georganiseerd per circulum anni, kan beschouwd worden als een compendium van het middeleeuwse religieuze wereldbeeld: het biedt inzicht in de (deuterocanonieke) traditie van het Nieuwe Testament, het leven en sterven van de belangrijkste heiligen, de geschiedenis van de Kerk van Rome en het kan gelezen worden als een catechismus in narratieve vorm. Maar de Legenda aurea is ook een schatkamer van verhalen, motieven en themata waarin de gehele middeleeuwse mentaliteit een schitterende weerspiegeling vindt. De invloed van de Legenda aurea op de literatuur en de beeldende kunsten is zo verregaand dat het boek een onmisbaar hulpmiddel is voor het ?lezen? van talloze middeleeuwse teksten, schilderijen en sculpturen. De tekst werd meermaals in het Middelnederlands vertaald en van de eerste, Zuidnederlandse vertaling, rond 1357 vervaardigd door de Hernse kartuizer Petrus Naghel (?1395) is nu een kritische uitgave beschikbaar. Deze editie van de Gulden legende - het tweede deel van wat een tweedelige uitgave wordt - bevat de legenden van paus Urbanus tot en met Kerkwijding, en wordt voorafgegaan door een beknopte inleiding. Het eerste deel zal volgens plan in 2013 verschijnen en de resterende legenden bevatten, maar ook een uitvoerige inleiding met, onder andere, een introductie van tekst en vertaler, een beschrijving van het gebruikte basishandschrift, editieprincipes en indices op namen.

Deze editie van de Gulden legende - het tweede deel van wat een tweedelige uitgave wordt - bevat de legenden van paus Urbanus tot en met Kerkwijding, en wordt voorafgegaan door een beknopte inleiding. Het eerste deel zal volgens plan in 2013 verschijnen en de resterende legenden bevatten, maar ook een uitvoerige inleiding met, onder andere, een introductie van tekst en vertaler, een beschrijving van het gebruikte basishandschrift, editieprincipes en indices op namen. Languages : Dutch, Middle Dutch.‎

‎San Pietro nella letteratura tedesca medievale‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2008 Hardcover. XVI 223 p., 80 b/w ill., 165 x 240 mm, Languages: Italian, French, English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503528465.‎

‎Nella letteratura tedesca medievale la figura di Pietro assume un ruolo primario per tutto il medioevo fin dalle origini. Gli stretti rapporti che univano la Chiesa tedesca a Roma ed ai suoi pontefici, il riconoscimento del primato petrino e papale avevano portato a considerare il patrocinio di san Pietro superiore a quello di qualsiasi altro santo, all?affermazione ed espansione del culto dell?apostolo, alla sua celebrazione in una molteplicita di testi di vario genere. Questa monografia si propone di ricostruire l?immagine di Pietro attraverso l?analisi di testimonianze letterarie in volgare ?tedesco?, composte nell?arco di tempo compreso tra i secoli IX-XIV. Nei testi della fase piu antica, il tentativo di conciliare i due sistemi di valori, cristiano e germanico, indusse a connotare le prerogative con elementi che descrivono il rapporto fra Gesu e i discepoli secondo i termini della Gefolgschaft germanica. Nei testi del periodo medio si mettono in rilievo la funzione ecclesiale e la trasmissione del potere di legare e sciogliere da Pietro al papa, ai vescovi ed ai sacerdoti tutti. Permane la tendenza a giustificare i rinnegamenti di Pietro, ?necessari? per mostrare il legame inscindibile tra perdono e pentimento, per dare speranza all?uomo circa l?incommensurabilita della misericordia divina. Si affianca, inoltre, la figura del discepolo con quelle dell?apostolo, del taumaturgo e del martire. Il libro fornisce un contributo essenziale alla ricostruzione delle modalita con cui la complessa figura di san Pietro venne recepita in area tedesca, mettendo cosi in luce aspetti della sua personalita finora trascurati.‎

‎In light of the revival of diachronic linguistics and the burgeoning attention for Middle French, the present volume brings together several papers on Middle French text linguistics. Which linguistic elements contribute to text structuring in this period ? What guarantees textual cohesion and topic continuity? The contributions in this volume set out to explore these domains, describing the use of a range of connectors, modality markers and punctuation devices, analysing the mechanisms underlying the functioning of anaphoric expressions and of topicalising and focalising constructions.‎
