‎Classics in the Medieval and Renaissance Classroom. The Role of Ancient Texts in the Arts Curriculum as Revealed by Surviving Manuscripts and Early Printed Books,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2013 Hardback, approx. X+455 pages ., 2 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503527543.‎

‎Medievalists and Renaissance specialists contribute to this compelling volume examining how and why the classics of Greek and Latin culture were taught in various Western European curricula (including in England, Scotland, France, Germany, and Italy) from the tenth to the sixteenth centuries. By analysing some of the commentaries, glosses, and paraphrases of these classics that were deployed in medieval and Renaissance classrooms, and by offering greater insight into premodern pedagogic practice, the chapters here emphasize the 'pragmatic' aspects of humanist study. The volume proposes that the classics continued to be studied in the medieval and Renaissance periods not simply for their cultural or 'ornamental' value, but also for utilitarian reasons, for 'life lessons'. Because the volume goes beyond analysing the educational manuals surviving from the premodern period and attempts to elucidate the teaching methodology of the premodern period, it provides a nuanced insight into the formation of the premodern individual. The volume will therefore be of great interest to scholars and students interested in medieval and Renaissance history in general, as well as those interested in the history of educational theory and practice, or in the premodern reception of classical literature.

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2001 Paperback, 376 p., 130 x 210 mm. ISBN 9782503510699.‎

‎Le "Victorial" - le titre s'explique par le fait que le heros ne fut jamais vaincu - peut etre lu de plusieurs manieres. Il presente une suite de tableaux de la vie chevaleresque au temps de la guerre de Cent ans: intrigues politiques a la suite de l'arrivee sur le trone de Castille de la dynastie Trastamare, rapports avec les membres de la haute aristocratie castillane et francaise a l'epoque ou la Castille et la France sont alliees contre l'Angleterre, prouesses et faits d'armes sur terre et sur mer, joutes et tournois, fetes, amours heureuses ou contrariees. Toutes les aventures du heros contribuent a former une image du parfait chevalier, fidele a son seigneur, dont la vie en tous points conforme a l'ideal reflete les valeurs de la societe aristocratique de son temps. Par la variete des milieux et des evenements decrits, en Castille aussi bien qu'en France, le Victorial est aussi un document de premiere main pour tout ce qui releve de la vie quotidienne. Les divers aspects de l'art nautique et de l'art militaire, en particulier, sont decrits avec une grande precision. Le talent de son auteur, temoin oculaire qui fut le propre porte-banniere de Pero Nino et l'accompagna dans ses campagnes, a su incarner ces valeurs grace a une culture etendue et a un art certain. Les reminiscences de l'histoire ancienne, qu'il s'agisse de la guerre de Troie, de l'histoire d'Alexandre et de Cesar, les origines legendaires des peuples, les digressions sur toutes sortes de sujets de philosophie politique, d'ethique ou de physique, la variete et la vivacite des recits contribuent au plaisir du lecteur.

‎Catherine of Siena The Creation of a Cult,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2013 Hardback, approx. X+353 p., 30 b/w ill., 2 b/w line art, 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503544151.‎

‎Focusing on the critical case of Catherine of Siena (d. 1380), the essays in this volume consider the role of texts, translations and images in various media in constructing and disseminating the cult of a saint in the late Middle Ages. How does one construct a saint and promote a cult beyond the immediate community in which he or she lived? Italian mendicants had accumulated a good deal of experience in dealing with this politically explosive question. The posthumous description of the life of Francis of Assisi (d. 1226) written by the Master General of the order, Bonaventure (d. 1274), could be regarded as paradigmatic in this regard. A similarly massive intervention in the production and diffusion of a cult can be observed in the case of the Dominican tertiary, Catherine of Siena (d. 1380), who in many respects (e.g. the imitation of Christ and her stigmatization) ?competed? with Francis of Assisi. Raymund of Capua (d. 1399), the Master General of the order, established the foundation for the dissemination of the cult by writing the authoritative life, but it was only the following generation that succeeded in establishing and disseminating the cult on a broad basis by means of copies, adaptations, and translations. The question of how to make a cult, which stands at the center of this volume, thus presents itself in terms of the challenge of rewriting a legend for different audiences. The various contributions consider the role, not only of texts in many different vernaculars (Czech, English, French, German, and Italian), but also of images, whether separately or in connection with one another.

‎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.
