‎Probable Truth Editing Medieval Texts from Britain in the Twenty-First Century‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2013 Hardcover. XIV 549 p., 9 b/w ill., 14 b/w tables, 156 x 234 mm, Languages: English, Latin, Middle English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503536835.‎

‎How do the best editorial procedures of the past get transmitted to the future? In this volume a distinguished line-up of hugely experienced editors, and younger scholars actively grapple with these issues. Editing as an academic mode of work has had a variable ?press? - it is often seen as just plumbing. But without editions no historian of whatever critical persuasion could operate. Texts that are not edited are effectively invisible. The advent of electronic means of text production has also raised new possibilities and new problems that need to be openly considered rather than ignored. The papers in this volume reflect those concerns, and explore the ways forward. How do the best editorial procedures of the past get transmitted to the future? A distinguished line-up of experienced editors and younger scholars actively grappling with these issues reflect on their engagement with the challenges of textual theory and editorial practice. No single solution emerges as applicable to all texts and for all editions; the individual characteristics of each text and its transmission, together with the intended audience of each edition, emerge as primary areas for consideration.‎

‎Gathering of Medieval English Recipes‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2008 Hardcover. 170 p., 160 x 240 mm, Languages: English, Middle English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503528984.‎

‎This book is a collection of medieval English culinary recipes which have not been edited before. Some of them come from brief collections which have not been previously published, or are found in isolation or very small groups in manuscripts which do not contain such collections. Others come from collections which have been used, or viewed, primarily for collation, but which contain other recipes which had not yet been noted. It was the author's object to gather together all the recipes which had not been edited and published, or are not currently being edited by others, to make the record of English recipes of this period as complete as possible. The volume concludes with a supplement to the recently published Concordance of English Recipes: Thirteenth Through Fifteenth Centuries, adding all the "new" recipes to that Concordance, except for a few which are so fragmentary as not to deserve listing.‎

‎Les textes presentes dans ce recueil, traduits pour la premiere fois en francais, ont ete composes entre le milieu du XIVe et du XVe siecle, alors que l?Angleterre connait de fortes transformations dans tous les domaines ? politiques, sociaux, culturels, economiques ? non sans resistances. Poemes, sermons ou encore tracts polemiques, produits dans un contexte de developpement de la 'literacy' (aptitude a lire et a ecrire) et d?une culture ecrite en anglais, s?interrogent, et parfois contestent, ces evolutions. Ces textes suggerent tous qu?en realite, ces transformations fonctionnent ensemble et ils constituent tous des lieux de communication, de dialogue ou de resistance (voire les deux) dans une societe anglaise alors en pleine ebullition.‎

‎Ce volume rassemble les contributions presentees au cours du colloque tenu a Paris en mai 1992 en l'honneur de Gilbert Ouy. L'histoire intellectuelle du Moyen Age tardif a ete l'object privilegie des recherches menees par Gilbert Ouyet l'equipe qui s'est formee autour de lui. Ce recueil qui constitue une reflexion de synthese sur l'activite culturelle en France a cette periode represente une mise au point sur l'etat de la recherche ainsi qu'un instrument de travail indispensable a sa poursuite. La culture ecrite et les pratiques qui la concretisent dans les productions litteraires, historique, diplomatique, etc. temoignent de l?activite creatrice de toute une epoque. Aussi ont-elles ete envisagees selon une approche globale: les auteurs et les textes sont inseparables des livres et des lectures, ainsi que des institutions qui produisent et transmettent la culture; ils sont egalement inseparables de la societe et des divers centres de pouvoir qui la favorisent ou tentent de la controler. L'ouvrage s'organise en trois parties. I. L'humanisme en France au XVe siecle: les origines du mouvement, les facteurs qui en ont conditionne le developpement, son impact. II. Societe, politique et culture: le lien entre culture et institutions, scolaires, religieuses et politiques; l'emergence du pouvoir etatique royal; continuites et innovations dans les modeles culturels et linguistiques.

‎Faisant partie d'un projet plus vaste de recensement des lexiques et glossaires inedits, cet ouvrage a ete concu comme un complement du volume consacre aux 'Manuscrits des lexiques et glossaires bilingues de l'Antiquite tardive a la fin du Moyen Age'. La terminologie technique qu'elle soit scientifique ou philosophique pose d'emblee deux problemes : bon nombre de vocables latins sont d'origine etrangere et il convient donc de recourir a des lexiques bilingues pour en saisir le sens exact. Ensuite, la specificite meme du vocabulaire appelle un certain nombre de connaissances de base pour mieux en saisir la portee et les nuances. Des recueils de definitions s'averent donc necessaires pour fournir aux lecteurs les significations diverses qu'un meme terme peut avoir. D'autre part, lorsqu'on aborde la litterature scientifique et philosophique du moyen age, on se trouve immanquablement confronte aux problemes de traduction. La terminologie technique constitue evidemment la premiere pierre d'achoppement pour les traducteurs. Comment rendre de maniere precise en latin des vocables grecs, arabes, hebreux ou syriaques, lorsqu'on n'a pas a sa disposition d'equivalent adequat ou lorsqu'on ne comprend pas la portee exacte d'un terme ? Comment repondre a des exigences de precision, lorsque le bagage linguistique dont on dispose est loin d'etre suffisant ? Comment enfin transposer dans une autre langue une matiere pour laquelle on n'a pas recu d'initiation ou d'introduction specifique ? Les articles contenus dans le volume tentent d'apporter des solutions aux problemes evoques et de repondre aux questions posees. Ils sont l'?uvre de divers specialistes en la matiere : G. Endress (Bochum), J. Hamesse (Louvain-la-Neuve), H. Hugonnard-Roche (Paris), D. Jacquart (Paris), J.-M. Mandosio (Paris), B. Mondrain (Paris), L. Moulinier-Brogi (Paris), J.-P. Rothschild (Paris), G.

‎Le colloque " Duns Scot a Paris, 1302-2002 " (2-4 septembre 2002) a commemore le sept centieme anniversaire de l'arrivee, a l'Universite de Paris, de Jean Duns Scot, l'une des rares dates connues dans la vie du plus grand philosophe et theologien du tournant des XIIIe et XIVe siecles. Il a permis de faire le point des dernieres decouvertes historiques et philologiques, et de donner un etat des recherches scotistes en cours, qui ont connu un essor rapide et meme inattendu ces dernieres annees. Apres une introduction de caractere historique ('Paris, 1302'), l'on trouvera dans ce volume une succession d'etudes portant sur la logique, l'epistemologie et la semantique (2e partie), la metaphysique (3e partie), l'ethique et la psychologie (4e partie), la theologie (5e partie). La sixieme partie enfin ('Paris 2002') compare les contributions de Duns Scot aux reflexions contemporaines (sur le temps, autrui, le langage). Cet volume est un instantane des travaux les plus recents : a la fois un bilan des connaissances sur la fin du XIIIe siecle, une serie d'interpretations originales et une somme d'analyses philosophiques.‎

‎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.‎

‎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. Le volume contient aussi des editions inedites d'un disciple d'Abelard, du Commentaire de Guillaume d'Auvergne sur l'Ecclesiaste 1,13 et 17-18, ainsi que de la liste des questions du Commentaire de Pierre de Pulkau sur le premier livre des Sentences.‎

‎More than obstacles, medieval frontiers - whether geographical, political, military, intellectual or artistic - seem to have been bridges and points of contact. This volume brings together forty-four contributions by specialists of history, history of ideas, medieval philosophy, philology, linguistics, literature as well as manuscript and archival studies. The first uses of the term frontiere in thirteenth-fourteenth-century French were military, referring to the first line of troops in a battle. In architecture it meant the front of a building, and at the end of the fourteenth century it was first used as a geographical term, in Spain specifically about the divide between the Christians and the Muslims. More than obstacles, medieval frontiers - whether geographical, political, military, intellectual or artistic - seem to have been bridges and points of contact. Frontiers was the theme of the Third European Congress of Medieval Studies organised by the FIDEM in Jyvaskyla, Finland, in 2003. True to the nature of the FIDEM, it was highly interdisciplinary, bringing together scholars from all over the world, addressing problems ranging from Byzantine administration to Icelandic vernacular scribal culture, during a week of extraordinary intellectual excitement. This volume brings together forty-four contributions by specialists of history, history of ideas, medieval philosophy, philology, linguistics, literature as well as manuscript and archival studies.‎

‎The mystery of writing is that there is nothing mysterious about it. If Saramago is right, then it is obvious that palaeography has not yet found all the keys we need if we are to enter amongst the people who gave form to the thoughts and memories of the medieval world. In order to reveal their identity ? the greatest mystery of all ? it is sometimes necessary to pass over what has already been written, affirmed and maintained, and to return to the sources instead. The ?Memoriali? conserved in the Archivio di Stato in Bologna reveal stories of men and women who created, with pen and quill veritable cathedrals of ink, indelible and sometimes of ineffable beauty. In this volume the names are collected, the commissions listed, where possible the careers and tribulations described of more than 270 copyists documented at Bologna between 1265 and 1270. In short, it is the documentary sources, not the works produced or such as have survived, on which the present book has been based.‎

‎The essays collected in this volume focus on a prominent aspect of Anglo-Saxon culture: educational texts and the Insular manuscripts which have preserved them. The English imported manuscripts and texts from the Continent, whilst a series of foreign masters, from Theodore of Tarsus to Abbo of Fleury, brought with them knowledge of works which were being studied in Continental schools. Although monastic education played a leading role for the entire Anglo-Saxon period, it was in the second half of the tenth and early eleventh centuries that it reached its zenith, with its renewed importance and the presence of energetic masters such as AEthelwold and AElfric. The indebtedness to Continental programs of study is evident at each step, beginning with the Disticha Catonis. Nevertheless, a number of texts initially designed for a Latin-speaking milieu appear to have been abandoned (for instance in the field of grammar) in favour of new teaching tools. Besides texts which were part of the standard curriculum, Anglo-Saxon manuscripts provide abundant evidence of other learning and teaching instruments, in particular those for a specialized class of laymen, the Old English laece, the healer or physician. Medicine occupies a relevant place in the book production of late Anglo-Saxon England and, in this field too, knowledge from very far afield was preserved and reshaped. All these essays, many by leading scholars in the various fields, explore these issues by analysing the actual manuscripts, their layout and contents. They show how miscellaneous collections of treatises in medieval codices had an internal logic, and highlight how crucial manuscripts are to the study of medieval culture.‎

‎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.‎

‎En los florilegios se reunen obras muy diferentes en su planteamiento, genero y epoca formando una obra nueva con un plan y un tratamiento unitario, de manera que los escritores de la literatura latina clasica pueden convivir con los autores cristianos y medievales, contemporaneos en algunos casos al compilador del florilegio. Ademas, en ellos se realiza una lectura particular de los textos originales y una interpretacion acorde con la finalidad buscada por el compilador, de forma que cada obra pierde sus caracteristicas individuales y los rasgos del genero en el que se escribio, al sufrir un proceso de reescritura comun. En este volumen se presentan diversas formas de encuentro y convivencia de los autores antiguos y medievales ofrecidas en los florilegios latinos, prestando especial atencion a los manuscritos conservados en Espana. Las conclusiones alcanzadas bien pueden ser de aplicacion general, puesto que entre los florilegios conservados en bibliotecas espanolas se encuentran testimonios de obras con una amplia tradicion, como el Florilegium Gallicum, al que se dedican dos colaboraciones sobre la presencia de Claudiano y de las epistolas literarias de Horacio; ademas, en otros dos capitulos se analiza la selecciones de Los Fastos de Ovidio y de las Satiras de Persio y Juvenal en el manuscrito 749-II de la Bibliotheque Municipale de Douai. Otras contribuciones analizan diversas formas de compilacion confeccionadas en tierras hispanas.‎

‎L?originalite du nouveau repertoire d?incipit de manuscrits medievaux latins reside dans le caractere inedit de la majorite de la documentation rassemblee. Repondant a un souhait exprime depuis longtemps par plusieurs chercheurs, nous avons essaye d?enregistrer des informations figurant dans des fichiers peu ou pas accessibles a la majorite des medievistes. Constitues au fil du temps par des erudits ou par des equipes de chercheurs, ce materiel est susceptible de rendre d?enormes services a tous ceux qui souhaitent retrouver les manuscrits ayant conserve une oeuvre donnee ou bien encore identifier l?auteur d?un ouvrage considere jusqu?a present comme anonyme. Pour le moyen age, l?incipit d?un manuscrit ou d?une oeuvre, c?est-a-dire les premiers mots d?un texte, est le seul moyen tout a fait sur d?identification. Beaucoup de textes medievaux sont anonymes ou faussement attribues. Seul l?incipit peut alors servir a reperer les differents manuscrits qui conservent encore actuellement une oeuvre donnee. Des recherches peuvent etre faites sur differentes zones afin d?obtenir l?ensemble de la documentation concernant un incipit. L?ensemble du materiel sera publie en quatre volumes. Le dernier comprendra des index d?auteurs, de bibliotheques et de titres pour faciliter la consultation des donnees.

‎Diocese of Barcelona during the Black Death, The Register 'Notule Communium' 15 (1348-1349).‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 1994 Hardcover. 536 p., 165 x 245 mm, Languages: English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9780888443717.‎

‎In the spring of 1348, the Black Death arrived in the diocese of Barcelona. The immediate effects were extraordinary mortality and fear. Over the long term, rural life was marked by conflict as peasants and lords reacted to an economy where death had made labour scarce and expensive. Urban society also suffered from plague mortality, but it is a matter of controversy how such demographic changes contributed to the eventual decline of Barcelona in the fifteenth century. The documents of the diocesan register Notule communium 15 (1348-1349) reveal the church's immediate reactions to the plague and provide evidence for patronage and ecclesiastical administration that will be useful to social and economic historians in assessing the immediate and long-term consequences of the Black Death, especially since contrastng material from before 1348 is available in the register Notule communium 14 (1345-1348) calendared by Jocelyn N. Hillgarth and Giulio Silano in the present series. The Black Death is an overwhelming influence on the register, although it is mentioned directly only a handful of times. The bishop of Barcelona, Miquel de Ricoma, was absent at Avignon throughout his tenure (1346-1361), but his vicars-general continued to provide churches to worthy candidates, promote new clerics, and hear cases in the episcopal court. Their work was complicated in the wake of the Black Death: churches lost rectors, patrons did not present candidates for vacant positions (perhaps due to a lack of qualified replacements), and last wills were left unexecuted. Meanwhile, the usual business of the diocesan courts continued, with debts being registerd, criminal clergy punished, and lax parishioners exhorted. The introduction to the present calendar describes the historical and ecclesiastical setting, and includes analysis of the process of registration. The calendar contains detaild summaries of the 1036 documents in the register; selected ent‎

Mock sermons, prayers, Gospel-texts, and scholastic exercises all bear witness to the wry sensibilities indulged by scholars and clerics alike in their off hours.‎

‎Petrus Naghel Gulden Legende De Middelnederlandse vertaling van de 'Legenda aurea' door Petrus Naghel, uitgegeven naar handschrift Brussel, Koninklijke Bibliotheek, 15140. Deel I.‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2012 Hardback, 411 pages ., 156 x 234 mm. *volume 1 only ISBN 9782503544618.‎

‎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. Languages : Dutch, Middle Dutch.‎

‎Summary This book sheds new light on the Latin background of various Old English homilies, and of certain homilies from related vernacular traditions. Two broad themes are treated, the Nativity of Christ and Christian eschatology; the volume contains five Latin texts dealing with each theme. Critical editions, full English translations, and detailed introductions and commentaries are included, as well as case studies that demonstrate the relevance of each text to one or more homilies written in Old English, and, in a few cases, early Middle English and Old Norse. While the volume is intended for scholars of early English preaching, many of the texts hold considerable intrinsic interest and should have general appeal for medievalists, students of preaching, and those working on the transmission of biblical apocrypha in the Latin West.

‎Summary By comparison with Latin Europe, Anglo-Saxon civilization is notable for the amount of literature preserved in contemporary manuscripts in the vernacular language, formerly called ?Anglo-Saxon' but now more usually called ?Old English'. This literature includes some remarkable poetry, which is the subject of the present collection of essays. Some of the earliest poems may well have been written at a time when northern England held the intellectual leadership of Europe. The approach is holistic, investigating important issues in the manuscripts that affect the integrity of the texts to be studied or the way they relate to each other, examining metrical issues that affect the way the poems are appreciated for their compositional skill, studying particular textual problems that require elucidation or even emendation to make the meaning clear, and finally offering readings of particular poems focussing on themes that are central to Old English poetry. A postscript examines Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky, which is presented as a ?Stanza of Anglo-Saxon Poetry'. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Section A: Manuscripts Foreword 1.

‎Summary The 'Leiden Glossary' provides a record of the understanding and interpretation of the patristic and grammatical texts studied at the Canterbury School of Theodore and Hadrian, regarded by Bede as the high point of Christian culture in early medieval England. Each entry in the 'Leiden Glossary' is provided with detailed commentary on the sources consulted by the two Canterbury masters (earlier glossaries; Isidore; Eucherius) and the later uses of the glossary by compilers of the Epinal-Erfurt and Corpus glossaries. The 'Leiden Glossary' is thus a key witness to one of the greatest schools of learning in the early Middle Ages.

‎Sources of Knowledge in Old English and Anglo-Latin Literature. Studies in Honour of Charles D. Wright‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 460 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 3 col., 8 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503604428.‎

‎Summary This volume positions source scholarship as integral to an understanding of the transmission of knowledge across intellectual, social, and material networks in early medieval England. Essays in this collection situate source studies in Old English and Anglo-Latin literature within a range of theoretical and methodological approaches as varied as disability studies, feminist theory, history of science, and network analysis, tracing how ideas move across cultures and showing how studying sources enables us to represent the diversity of medieval voices embedded in any given text. The essays in this volume extend the work of Charles D. Wright, who mentored a generation of scholars in methodologies of source study. The essays are organized into three sections. The first demonstrates how source studies facilitate tracing ideas across space and time. The second explores what happens to texts and ideas when they are transmitted from one culture, language, or historical moment to another. The third shows how sources illuminate wider cultural discourses. The volume attests to the flexibility of source work for early medieval English literature and argues for increased access to the tools that make such work possible.

‎Traumas of 1066 in the Literatures of England, Normandy, and Scandinavia‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 292 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503607870.‎

‎Summary 1066 is one of the most well-known dates in English history: but how far do we understand the mental and emotional lives of those who experienced it? In just over a month, England was rocked by two separate invasions, multiple pitched battles, and the deaths of thousands. The repercussions of these traumatic events would echo through the history and literature of northern Europe for centuries to come. Drawing on studies of trauma and cultural memory, this book examines the cultural repercussions of the year 1066 in medieval England, Normandy, and Scandinavia. It explores how writers in all three regions celebrated their common heritage and mourned the wars that brought them into conflict. Bringing together texts from an array of languages, genres, and cultural traditions, this study examines the strategies medieval authors employed to work through the traumas of 1066, narrating its events and experiences in different forms. It explores the ways in which history and memory interacted through multiple generations of writers and readers, and reveals how the field of trauma studies can help us better understand the mental and emotional lives of medieval people.
