‎Pore Caitif. A Modern English Translation, with Introductory Essays and Notes‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 173 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503613741.‎

‎Summary The Pore Caitif is a popular, late-fourteenth-century, carefully crafted compilation of biblical, catechetical, devotional and mystical material drawing on patristic and medieval sources, in Middle English, consisting of a Prologue and a variable number of sections of differing lengths according to each manuscript, assembled probably by a clerical writer for an increasing literate lay readership/audience.The Prologue sets out the reason for writing and its overall structure as an integrated ladder leading the reader to heaven. The text begins with basic catechetical instruction modelled on John Peckham's Lambeth Constitutions of 1281 before continuing with more affective material, meditating, for example, on the Passion, and concludes with a treatise on virginity, leading the reader from an active to a contemplative way of life. The Pore Caitif was written about the time the Lollards were starting to propagate their programme of universal vernacular education. The writer believes in the need to educate his readers in the truths necessary for salvation without necessarily subscribing to Lollard positions. Although referred to in a number of secondary articles and books, and serving as the focus of three doctoral dissertations, an edition of the work was not published until 2019. Penkett's publication is the first Modern English translation based on the 2019 publication and is in a readily accessible format for the modern reader, accompanied by a series of ground-breaking essays.

‎LYSIMACHUS A Study in Early Hellenistic Kingship‎

‎Routledge. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 1992. Hardcover. 0415070619 . Very light bumping to corners of book. Else fine. DJ has very light shelfwear. ; 0.94 x 8.66 x 5.59 Inches; 304 pages; Among Alexander's successors Lysimachus is the forgotten man; when he is recalled it is usually as brutal oppressor of the Greeks or conversely as a mediocre little man spurred into action only late in life by a domineering woman. As the first full-length study of Lysimachus in the English language this book aims to reassess Lysimachus' achievements which although ephemeral foreshadowed the growth of the Pergamene and Byzantine empires. Helen Lund sets Lysimachus' actions against the background of the early Hellenistic world marked by extreme political instability and constant warfare but also by great developments in city building portraiture and numismatics. Lysimachus' practice in warfare kingship and government is compared and contrasted with that of his contemporaries his predecessors and his successors in order to set his achievements in the context of a continuum of imperial rule in Asia Minor. The evidence for Lysimachus's rule is set in its literary political and social context. Covering Lysimachus's rise from governor of the obscure satrapy of Thrace to ruler of a vast Hellespont-centered kingdom this book analyzes his skills as warrior and diplomat and examines the factors which motivated him at each stage of his career. Helen Lund discusses images of Lysimachus in literature his contribution to early Hellenistic kingship ritual and royal propaganda offering a completely fresh approach to the dynastic struggle which ended his career. .

Very minor shelfwear to book and DJ. ; Mnemosyne Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 255 pages; The Gorgon's Severed Head looks at three plays of Euripides one early one middle and one late in his career. Innovations in genre in the use of the traditional stories in the representation of women and of gender issues are present at every period. In all three plays characters are depicted creating themselves and each other. Chapter One on Alcestis looks at the artistry of the two main characters and is especially concerned with finding a role for Admetus the play's most serious problem. The second chapter treats the physical displacement of the myth in Euripides' version of the Electra-Orestes story. A last section approaches the layers of time and space in Phoenissae. . E. J.
