‎QUESTIONING REPUTATIONS; Essays on Nine Roman Republican Politicians‎

‎Unisa Press. 2003. Softcover. Fine. Contents: Section 1: The Great Men. I. The Military Reputation of Gaius Marius; II. Pompey in the 70s; III. Caesar's use of tribuni plebis; A comparision of Marius Pompey and Caesar. Section 2: The Lesser Figures. IV. Saturninus and Glaucia: a quest for power; V. The Characters of Drusus and Sulpicia; VI. Clodius and Milo: more equals than opposites; A comparison of Saturninus and Glaucia Drusus and Sulpicius Clodius and Milo.; 221 pages; The reputations of a great many figures in history have been established by chance and opportunity: a single victory on the battlefield a political triumph in domestic affairs. This statement is equally applicable for that century between 146 and 31 BC which today is usually designated the Late Roman Republic. On the basis of often rather meagre facts reputations have been constructed and as a result whole careers became mythologised by later writers even in antiquity. The main aim of this volume is to question certain reputations in order to place into a more realistic historical context the subjects under discussion. . 1868881989 . Unisa Press paperback‎

‎Place Names of the World, Europe: Historical Context, Meanings and Changes‎

‎252 x 192 mm. Place names are a window into the history and characteristics of a country. Their names reflect the migrations of peoples, their religious and cultural traditions, local languages, conquests and fortifications long since disappeared. They also reflect the topography and industrial development of a place. John Everett Heath, drawing on his experience and contacts at the FCO, has developed a reference text of the origins of European place names. The text is ordered by country alphabetically. It includes a historical section, putting the place name into context, and references those events, which have had an impact on the geography of a country, and those foreign influences, which have played a part in shaping the place name. This volume is confined to the 38 countries of Europe, together with Andorra, Gibraltar, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, San Marino, Cyprus and the Vatican City. All place names of cities and towns of particular importance and interest are included.‎

‎Joseph d'Exeter L'Iliade. Epopee du XIIe siecle sur la Guerre de Troie,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2003 Paperback, 358 p., 140 x 210 mm. ISBN 9782503512037.‎

‎L'Iliade, une epopee latine ecrite entre 1183 et 1190 par un clerc anglais du nom de Joseph d'Exeter, neveu de l'archeveque Baudouin de Cantorbery auquel il dedie son oeuvre, merite de retenir l'attention a plus d'un titre. Elle offre d'abord un temoignage tres eclairant sur la reception qui est faite de l'Antiquite par un clerc latinisant tres cultive, en cette deuxieme moitie du XIIe siecle qui a vu apparaitre les premieres "mises en roman", c'est-a-dire les premieres adaptations en francais d'oeuvres latines. Il n'est pas impossible que l'Iliade ait ete concue comme une reponse au Roman de Troie de Benoit de Sainte-Maure, redige vers 1165, qui s'efforcait de mettre l'histoire et la culture antiques a la portee d'un public chevaleresque. Les deux oeuvres partent en effet du meme texte, l'Histoire de la destruction de Troie de Dares le Phrygien (De excidio Troiae historia), un texte apocryphe du VIe siecle qui jouissait d'une grande autorite parce qu'il etait cense avoir ete ecrit par un ancien combattant de la guerre de Troie. Et l'epopee de Joseph s'oppose au roman de Benoit sur bien des points : au didactisme simplificateur de Benoit, Joseph oppose une remarquable connaissance de l'histoire et de la mythologie antiques qui s'exprime sous une forme codee, par le biais de periphrases et d'allusions; a l'optimisme de Benoit, qui cherche des modeles dans les heros antiques, il oppose le pessimisme d'un monde desenchante domine par la mort, les vices des humains et les jeux de la Fortune. Il parvient ainsi - et c'est la le deuxieme interet de l'Iliade - a produire une oeuvre d'un esthetisme raffine, stylistiquement dominee par l'influence des poetes Stace et Claudien, une oeuvre dont certains passages (par exemple, le recit de la chute de Troie) sont d'une grande intensite et temoignent d'une tres belle reussite poetique.

‎Medieval Memory. Image and Text‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2004 Hardcover. XXVI 282 p., 18 colour ill., 165 x 240 mm, Languages: English, French, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503516837.‎

‎Scholars of medieval literary and cultural history have grown more aware of the crucial role of memory in the production, reception and functioning of texts and manuscripts. We owe this to the pioneering studies of Frances Yates and, more recently, Mary Carruthers and Susan Hagen. Historical linguists for their part try to describe the linguistic means by which listeners and readers are enabled to store the information flow in their memories. The relationship between medieval texts and memory is at the centre of this book. Seven historians of literature, three linguists and one art historian have contributed eleven essays, subsumed under three sections. The first section, 'Memory Texts', discusses genres that belong to medieval mnemonics. In the second and most extensive section, 'Memory Aspects in Texts', the focus is on literature and, more particularly, on how attention for mnemonics can enhance our insight into the form, composition and functioning of literary texts and manuscripts. Mental and visual images play a central role here. 'Text Memory', the final section, analyses medieval (French) literary discourse as a fabric of reference chains, in which different grammatical markers generate and organise mental representations in the memory.‎

‎Partners in Spirit Women, Men, and Religious Life in Germany, 1100-1500,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2009 Hardback, approx. X+249 p., 7 b/w ill., 2 b/w line art, 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503540962.‎

‎Partners in Spirit focuses on relations between chaste men and women within religious life in Germany (c. 1100-1500), concentrating on the complex set of negotiations that governed contact between a male priest and his female charge. Although religious women were undeniably reliant on priests for pastoral care (the cura monialium) throughout the medieval period, it does not follow that men saw such care as burdensome or that women were spiritually subordinate in their relations with priests. Within the context of the cura, ordained men and professed women met regularly, often developing intimate friendships and providing each other with crucial spiritual support, despite prevailing fears that contact between the sexes must result in sexual temptation and sin. Examining the various interactions of priests with religious women, Partners in Spirit traces the ways in which both viewed the cura, highlighting the fluidity of gender and authority within the medieval religious life. In so doing, the volume suggests new ways of considering the intersection of gender, religion, and spiritual power within the medieval world. Languages : English.‎

‎Incipitarium Ovidianum,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2000 Paperback, 240 p., 16 x 25. ISBN 214.‎

‎This study will serve as a finding guide for scholars interested in the medieval and renaissance texts related to the study of Ovid. Scholars have recently recognized the importance of the medieval and renaissance school tradition on classical authors for our understanding of literary theory and reading practices from the late antique period to 1600. Yet much of the primary evidence, necessary to such an investigation lies hidden in the manuscript repositories of Europe and North America. The Incipitarium Ovidianum will serve as a finding guide for scholars interested in the medieval and renaissance tradition of accessus, biographies, commentaries and Summae memoriales on the poetic corpus of Ovid. The Incipitarium lists alphabetically by their opening words all of the extant texts related to the study of Ovid from 400 to 1600. All known manuscript witnesses to the text as well as the early incunabula, modern printed editions and studies are provided. An appendix lists manuscripts which transmit glosses to the individual works. And a comprehensive bibliography of modern studies related to the study of Ovid in the Middle Ages is included in the introduction to the Incipitarium itself. The Incipitarium surveys 483 texts in manuscript and/or printed form and will be an essential research tool for all scholars working in the field of the classical tradition. Frank T. Coulson is Professor in the Department of Greek and Latin at the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio and has published extensively on the tradition of Ovid in the Middle Ages. Bruno Roy is associate Professor of the University of Montreal. Languages : English, Latin.‎
