‎Summary Drawing inspiration from the scholarship of Professor Michael Herren, founding editor of The Journal of Medieval Latin, this florilegium of studies advances our understanding of the dynamics of Latin and vernacular literature and learning in the early medieval world. Taken together, the papers gathered in this volume cast light on authors, poets, glossators, and compilers at work as they grappled with linguistic and literary ambitions and challenges, while negotiating their use of ancient authorities to address contemporary concerns.

‎Sedition. The Spread of Controversial Literature and Ideas in France and Scotland, c. 1550-1610‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 324 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:6 b/w, 1 col., Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503589909.‎

‎Summary This interdisciplinary collection examines the notion of sedition in the period of the French Wars of Religion (1560-1600) and focuses not only on France itself, but also on Scotland during the reign of the French-born Mary Queen of Scots. Composed of eleven chapters written by an international team of experts, this volume concentrates on the political aspects of sedition rather than religious heresy, and covers writings and publications in a wide range of fields: politics, history, law, literature, and gender. A complementary feature of this collection is the spectrum of writings studied; they include edicts and treatises, pamphlets, broadsides, legal documents, dialogues, and satirical prose and poetry. Several chapters also address visual representations of sedition. An Introduction and a Conclusion provide synthetic analyses of the material studied in the individual chapters. This is a collection which will appeal to readers with interests in the history of political ideas and thought, the comparative study of monarchical government, and concepts of tyranny and resistance, discord, rebellion, and revolt.

‎Medieval Stories and Storytelling. Multimedia and Multi-Temporal perspectives‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 319 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:19 b/w, 3 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503590509.‎

‎Summary The shaping and sharing of narrative has always been key to the negotiation and recreation of reality for individuals and cultural groups. Some stories, indeed, seem to possess a life of their own: claiming a peculiar agency and taking on distinct voices which speak across time and space. How, for example, do objects, manuscripts, and other artefacts communicate alternative or complementary narratives that transcend textual and linguistic boundaries? How are stories created, reshaped, and re-experienced, and how do these shifting contexts and media change meaning? This volume of essays explores these questions about meaning and identity in a range of ways. As a collection, it demonstrates the importance of interdisciplinary and context-focused enquiry when approaching key issues of activity and identity in the medieval period. Ultimately, the process of making meaning through shaping narrative is shown to be as vital and varied in the medieval world as it is today. With a wide range of different disciplinary approaches from leading scholars in their respective fields, chapters include considerations of art, architecture, metalwork, linguistics, and literature. Alongside examinations of medieval cultural productions are explorations of the representation and adaptation of medieval storytelling in graphic novels, classroom teaching, and computer gaming. This volume thus offers an interdisciplinary exploration of how stories from across the medieval world were shaped, transformed, and transmitted.

‎Latin in Byzantium III: Post-Byzantine Latinitas. Latin in Post-Byzantine Scholarship (15th -19th Centuries)‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 490 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Illustrations:14 b/w, 8 tables b/w., 2 maps b/w, Language(s):English, Latin, Greek. ISBN 9782503589947.‎

‎Summary This volume aims at filling a major gap in international literature concerning the knowledge of the Latin language and literature by Post-Byzantine scholars from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries. Most of them, immigrants to the West after the Fall of Byzantium, harmoniously integrated into their host countries, practiced and perfected their knowledge of the Latin language and literature, excelled in arts and letters and, in many cases, managed to obtain civil, political and clerical offices. They wrote original poetic and prose works in Latin, for literary, scholarly and/or political purposes. They also translated Greek texts into Latin, and vice versa. The contributors to this volume explore the multifaceted aspects of the knowledge of the Latin language and literature by these scholars. Among the many issues addressed in the volume are: the reasons that urged Post-Byzantine scholars to compose Latin works and disseminate Ancient Greek works to the West and Latin texts to the East, their audience, the fate of their projects, and their relations among them and with Western scholars. In the contents of the volume one can find well known Post-Byzantine scholars such as Bessarion or Isidore of Kiev, as well as lesser known authors like Ioannis Gemistos, Nikolaos Sekoundinos and others. Hence, hereby is provided a canon of scholars who, albeit Greek, are considered essentially as representatives of Neo-Latin literature, along with others who, through their translations, contributed to the rapprochement - literary and political - of East and West.

‎Pore Caitif. A Middle English Manual of Religion and Devotion‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 296 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503582931.‎

‎Summary The Pore Caitif is an anonymous late fourteenth-century manual of devotion and religious instruction destined for a lay readership. The text, in its various forms, circulated widely and was evidently very popular, as the fifty of so extant manuscripts and fragments readily attest. Of them, no fewer that twenty-eight transmit a full text showing remarkable fidelity to the now presumably lost archetype. As such, the Pore Caitif invites comparison with the considerable production and diffusion of religious texts in English which figure prominently in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. In this respect, it is to note that some critics have argued for the presence of Lollard interpolators or commentators in a number of the extant manuscripts, including the influence of the Wycliffite Bible translation. This edition will be published in two volumes. This, the first, provides a full Introduction to the manuscripts and their transmission, classifying them in groups, while examining some of the trends observable in some of the more notable variants they inevitably preserve. A commentary on the text is followed by a full glossary. The second volume will discuss manuscript relationships and the problems arising therefrom.

‎Contest, Translation, and the Chaucerian Text‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, 232 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:3 b/w, 6 col., Languages: English, French. ISBN 9782503546636.‎

‎Summary This sophisticated volume sheds new light on the transmission of texts in the medieval period by drawing into dialogue a study of medieval translation between English and French with questions concerning the Chaucerian canon and its reception. The author takes as a focus point three Middle English translations of French-language works - The Romaunt of the Rose, the Belle Dame Sans Mercy, and An ABC to the Virgin - and assesses the way in which these works respond to and reconfigure their source material, while at the same time questioning how the connection of these translations with Chaucer has influenced our critical understanding of them. In this book, these three translations are therefore removed from their habitual place on the fringes of the English Chaucer canon, and are instead analysed in the context of late-medieval literary and cultural hybridity. The result is a fascinating reconceptualization of these works as creative, cross-channel participations in late- medieval debates, and simultaneously a call for the reappraisal of 'the Chaucerian' as a critical category.‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, xii + 464 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:3 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503574776.‎

‎Summary Devotional compilations were the staple spiritual food for lay and religious readers in the late medieval period. As well thought-out assemblages of texts or extracts of texts, they provided readers with material from basic catechetic instruction to advice and tools for the practice of contemplation. Their exploration enables a more sophisticated understanding of the authorial roles played by compilers, the reading practices of their recipients, and the patronage of compilations carried out by religious and secular individuals and communities. It also offers a new window into late medieval English religiosity as well as demonstrating the complexity and creativity associated with compiling activity. In this volume, leading scholars in the field of medieval English literature consider the role and impact of a substantial number of devotional compilations, offering new evidence about the manuscripts, sources, and contexts that frame this important corpus.

‎Summary In recent years numerous advances in archaeological and historical studies have enhanced our understanding of the form and function of settlements and strongholds in the landscapes of early medieval England. Until now, this groundbreaking work has not been matched in studies of early English literature, where no concerted effort has been made to investigate how these findings can inform our understanding of their representation in texts - and vice versa. This study shows that literary works offer considerable insight into the ways their authors, readers, and other audiences thought and felt about the constructed places and spaces in which they lived their lives. Covering a broad range of evidence from the end of Roman rule to the Conquest, it is the first study of its kind to offer an interdisciplinary account of the relationship between the built environment as it appears in the material record, and in a range of textual productions. Settlements and Strongholds interrogates correlations and disjunctions between the stories found in the soil and in written works of various kinds, focusing on vernacular texts and Latin works that informed their development. It argues for a deeper appreciation of the relationship between imaginative works and the material contexts in which they were created, revealing the parallel development of ideas and concepts that were fundamental in shaping early medieval England.

‎Summary This edition presents the full text of a personal collection of temporale Middle-English sermons, compiled by a parish priest for his own use (preserved in Cambridge University Library MS Cg.6.16). It also includes the notes and fragments of sermons or exempla found at the beginning of the manuscript with a purpose of giving insight into the way a parish priest would compile materials. This manuscript has attracted attention because it perserves versions of these sermons' early stages. The current edition is therefore complementary to editions of later versions of the same sermons. The introduction provides a discussion of these sermons' textual history and the circumstances in which they were possibly preached. Explanatory notes, a glossary, and indexes complete the edition.

‎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.

‎Crossing Borders in the Insular Middle Ages‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, viii + 332 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 4 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503566733.‎

‎Summary This volume offers an in-depth exploration of the cultural connections between and across Britain, Ireland, and Iceland during the high and late Middle Ages. Drawing together new research from international scholars working in Celtic Studies, Norse, and English, the contributions gathered together here establish the coherence of the medieval Insular world as an area for literary analysis and engage with a range of contemporary approaches to examine the ways, and the degrees to which, Insular literatures and cultures connect both with each other, and with the wider European mainstream. The articles in this collection discuss the Insular histories of some of the most widely read literary works and authors of the Middle Ages, including Geoffrey of Monmouth and William Langland. They trace the legends of Troy and of Charlemagne as they travelled across linguistic and geographical borders, give fresh attention to the multilingual manuscript collections of great households and families, and explore the political implications of language choice in a linguistically plural society. In doing so, they shed light on a complex network of literary and cultural connections and establish the Insular world not as a periphery, but as a centre.

‎Sisterbook of Master Geert?s House, Deventer The Lives and Spirituality of the Sisters, c. 1390?c. 1460‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2025 Hardcover, Pages: 352 pages,Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 3 col., Language(s):English. ISBN 9782503602509.‎

‎The Sisterbook of Master Geert?s House contains the lives of sixty-four Sisters of the Common Life who died between 1398 and 1456. Founded as an alms-house for destitute women in 1374, by the end of the fourteenth century Master Geert?s House had become a home for women desiring to live a life of humility and penitence, as well as in community of goods without vows. The Sisterbook was likely written sometime between 1460 and 1470, at a time when the religious fervour that had characterized the earlier Sisters had begun to wane. It was to incite the readers and hearers of the Sisterbook, which would have been read in the refectory during mealtimes, to imitate the earlier Sisters who are portrayed as outstanding examples of godliness and Sisters of the Common Life. The opening sentence of the Sisterbook succinctly sums up the author?s reason for writing it: ?Here begin some edifying points about our earlier Sisters whose lives it behoves us to have before our eyes at all times, for in their ways they were truly like a candle on a candlestick?, and who, by implication, could still illumine the way for her own generation of Sisters. The first foundation of Sisters of the Common Life, Master Geert?s House became the ?mother? house of numerous other houses in the Low Countries and Germany directly as well as indirectly and served as an inspiration for others. This book provides a study of the Sisterbook and its significance in the Devotio Moderna and late medieval female religiosity, while the accompanying translation introduces this important source to an English audience.

‎This volume offers a series of essays focusing on the power of words. Contributors address the centrality of language to devotional and mystical experience as well as the attitudes towards language fostered by devotional and mystical practices. The essays are arranged under four subheadings: (1) ?Other Words: Figures and Metaphors,? treating the application of the languages of romantic love, medicine, and travel to descriptions of devotional and mystical experience; (2) ?Iconic Words: Images and the Name of Jesus,? considering the deployment of words and the Word (Jesus) as powerful images in devotional practice; (3) ?Testing Words: Syntax and Semantics,? exploring the ways in which medieval writers stretch the conventions of language to achieve fresh perspectives on devotional and mystical experiences; and (4) ?Beyond Words: The Apophatic and The Senses,? offering novel perspectives on a group of texts that address the difficulty of expressing God and visionary experience with words. The volume?s global purpose is to demonstrate the attractions of an explicitly philological approach for scholars studying the Christian tradition. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ? Rory G.

‎Summary This is an edition of a key eighth century glossary, traditionally called "Werden A" after the abbey in Germany where its unique manuscript was probably written about 810, incorporating English materials of earlier date, It is one of an important set of early English glossaries usually associated with the school of Canterbury under Archbishop Theodore in the last quarter of the seventh century; this was the first important center of learning in England after the conversion to Christianity from ca. 600 and its alumni and scholarship spread out not only over England in the subsequent century but to north-east France and Germany in the so-called "Anglo-Saxon Mission" with the aim of bringing Christianity to semi-pagan lands. Such glossaries played a big part in these campaigns and strongly influenced Old High German glossaries and literature for several centuries more. Werden A shows ample signs of its career on the continent with many entries that must have originated in Frisia, France, Saxony and the Rhineland. Moreover, Werden A presents many difficult editorial challenges: it is very fragmentary, preserved as several mutilated and dispersed parts, most of which were destroyed in World War II and are only preserved in poor nineteenth century transcripts, and beyond that the text is often obscure and corrupt. This edition undertakes to reconstruct the codicology and contents of the original book before its dispersal, retrieval of the remaining text as originally written, establishment of the sources of the various items, and the deciphering and interpretation of individual entries that are often highly original and unparalleled in other glossaries.

‎Summary In addition to providing invaluable insights into material culture, the configuration of social structures, and the legal customs of the period, the diplomas drafted in Catalonia during the High Middle Ages (9th-12th centuries) constitute an invaluable linguistic source. They bring together elements of Latin from the Roman era, particularly its late variant, Christian Latin, Vulgar Latin, and early pre-literary Catalan. This combination gives rise to a series of linguistic innovations that characterize a Latin which, despite being a learned language, exhibits features more typical of a living speech. Framed within the research project of the Glossarium Mediae Latinitatis Cataloniae (GMLC), this volume offers a study of 112 lexical innovations in the semantic field of trades identified in these sources. The analysis of these terms -many of which are loans, either Latinized or not, from Catalan- sheds light on the activities through which artisans, peasants, merchants, and others contributed to the development of medieval Catalan society. The findings are presented in the form of lexicographical entries, providing the reader with a comprehensive analysis of the etymological, semantic, morphological, and evolutionary aspects of each term, alongside other extralinguistic data of interest. Adem s de ofrecer noticias muy valiosas sobre la cultura material, la configuraci n de las estructuras sociales o las costumbres jur dicas de la poca, los diplomas redactados en la Catalu a de la Alta Edad Media (ss. IX-XII) son una fuente de incalculable valor por su lengua, que resulta de integrar el lat n de poca romana, sobre todo en su variante tard a, con el lat n de los cristianos, con el lat n vulgar y con la lengua catalana preliteraria. Esta mezcla genera toda una serie de innovaciones ling sticas que singularizan un lat n que, a pesar de su condici n de lengua aprendida, presenta rasgos m s propios de un habla viva. Inscrito en el marco de investigaci n del Glossarium Mediae Latinitatis Cataloniae (GMLC), este volumen ofrece el estudio de las 112 innovaciones l xicas del campo sem ntico de los oficios que se han detectado en esas fuentes. El estudio de estas voces, entre las que se cuentan numerosos pr stamos de la lengua catalana y que dan noticia de los artesanos, campesinos o comerciantes, entre otros, que contribuyeron a impulsar la sociedad catalana medieval, se presenta en forma de fichas lexicogr ficas. A trav s de estas fichas, estructuradas en diversos apartados, se pone a disposici n del lector un an lisis exhaustivo del aspecto etimol gico, sem ntico, morfol gico y evolutivo de cada palabra, as como otros datos de inter s extraling stico.

‎Summary The Dictionary of Medieval Latin in Czech Lands registers and explains the vocabulary of Medieval Latin as used in Czech lands since ca. 1000 CE to 1500 CE. It is based on ca. 800.000 excerpt sheets, drawn from literary, scholarly, and administrative texts. It takes into account not only published sources, but also the manuscript texts (esp. those containing philosophical, theological and scientific treatises, vocabularies, and administrative documents) that still remain unpublished. It also captures and explains the vocabulary of the late Middle Ages, not included in most similar dictionaries. It provides thorough and sufficiently informative data about the wide range and heterogeneity of means of expression to be found in Medieval Latin. It captures all phonological, morphological, syntactical, stylistic, prosodic and semantic divergences of Medieval Latin vocabulary inherited from the ancient era as compared with classical norms. It also provides an exhaustive analysis of newly?emerged Medieval Latin words. It is an indispensable tool for medievalists from various fields, especially those who focus on Central Europe.

‎Old English Poet as Reader‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 312, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503612201.‎

‎Summary Little is known about the original audiences of Old English poetry. The clearest evidence we possess for the reception of these verse texts is provided by the poets themselves, who must have been amongst the most dedicated and learned consumers of the poetic corpus to which they contributed. Thinking about how these poets read and responded to the work of their fellow practitioners can help us to recover something of the literary attitudes and expectations that governed both the production and reception of Old English poetry. The Old English Poet as Reader proposes a new approach to the study of Old English poetry which simultaneously recognizes the traditional and formulaic aspects of Old English poetry while also accepting that poets working within this tradition engaged in direct and sophisticated ways with individual vernacular poetic models. The extent to which this can be demonstrated from the surviving and inevitably partial record of Old English verse suggests that such strategies constituted a key feature of the vernacular tradition for both poets and audiences. Scholars have long been accustomed to thinking about Old English poets as engaged readers of their Latin textual sources. This volume argues that we must now recognize them as equally sophisticated and literary readers of their vernacular poetic sources as well. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1.

‎Summary The focus of the Latin Vulgaire - Latin Tardif book series lies on the complex and multifaceted problem of late and so-called vulgar Latin. Specifically, starting out from a wide range of methodological approaches involving all levels of language, the series' main purpose is to investigate how Classical Latin (i.e. the language used in the period from ca. 100 BC to AD 100 by authors such as Cicero, Horace and Vergil) underwent the changes during the late period (i.e. mainly between the 3rd and the 7th century AD) that resulted in (the early stages of) the Romance languages. To this purpose, three main types of linguistic sources are taken into consideration. First, direct Latin sources, which include for instance texts written by people with a lesser level of literacy (e.g. inscriptions, soldiers' letters), or by fully literate authors reproducing colloquial language deliberately (e.g. Petronius, Apuleius). Second, indirect Latin sources, which consist of metalinguistic testimonies of ancient authors (mainly, but not exclusively, grammarians) dealing with the language variation typical of their time and region. And third, the Romance idioms themselves: by comparing sources in at least two Romance varieties, one may reconstruct Latin words or forms which were used widely in spoken usage but, for different reasons, are not attested in any extant source.

‎Summary The corpus of sermons and saints' lives from early medieval England, in English and Latin, is the largest and most varied of its kind from a contemporary European perspective. In recent years this extraordinary body of literature has attracted increasing attention, as witnessed by an efflorescence of new editions, translations, commentaries, essay collections, dissertations, and amply funded research projects such as the Electronic Corpus of Anonymous Old English Homilies (ECHOE) project based at the University of G ttingen. The present collection of thirteen essays grew out of a 2022 conference sponsored by the ECHOE project on Old English anonymous homilies and saints' lives and their sources and reflects the best of current scholarship on early medieval homiletic and hagiographic literature from England. This literature is central to an understanding of the spiritual imagination and social practices of non- lite audiences. Together, they introduce new discoveries, identify new sources, edit new texts, make new claims about authors, revisers, and textual relationships, revise previous arguments about aspects of literary history, and provide new interpretations of Old English and Latin sermons and saints' lives. These studies show vividly how European learning influenced the liturgical practices and peripheral education of early medieval England. Contributors include Helen Appleton, Aidan Conti, Claudia Di Sciacca, R. D. Fulk, Thomas N. Hall, Christopher A. Jones, Leslie Lockett, Rosalind Love, Hugh Magennis, Stephen Pelle, Jane Roberts, Winfried Rudolf, and Charles D. Wright. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction - THOMAS N.

‎Summary The early seventeenth-century English sermon was the bestselling print genre of its time, and church preaching was more widely attended than any play. Jennifer Clement argues here that a major aim of these sermons was to teach people how to feel the right emotions - or, as preachers would have said at the time, the passions or affections - to lead a good Christian life. In the process, preachers took a primarily rhetorical approach to the emotions; that is, they used their sermons to define emotions and to encourage their listeners and readers actively to cultivate and shape their emotions in line with Scripture. This study offers an overview of five key emotions - love, fear, anger, grief, and joy - in the sermons of key preachers such as John Donne, Richard Sibbes, Joseph Hall, Launcelot Andrewes, and others. It shows how these preachers engaged with contemporary treatises on the emotions as well as treatises on preaching to highlight the importance of the rhetorical, as opposed to the humoral, approach to understanding the emotions in a religious context. In addition, Clement reads sermons next to early seventeenth-century religious poetry by writers such as Donne, George Herbert, Amelia Lanyer, and Henry Vaughan to show how the emotional concerns of the sermons also appear in the poetry, reverberating beyond the pulpit. Bringing together rhetorical theory, sermon studies, and the history of the emotions, Clement shows how the early seventeenth-century English sermon needs to inform our thinking about literature and its engagement with emotion in this period.
