‎Nota Bene explores a little-known juxtaposition of verbal text and musical notation in the Middle Ages. This particular intersection deserves attention from those interested in music, the reception of classical Latin literature, the history of education, and the development of punctuation. Between the late tenth century and the late twelfth century, the musical notation known as neumes was provided in dozens of manuscripts for, among other texts, a number of Horace's Odes as well as for sections of epics by Lucan, Statius, and Vergil. These materials constitute a paradoxical corpus of "classical poems in plainchant" that complicates our views of both how students learned Latin and what was being sung in an era most often associated with Gregorian chant. The book wrestles first with the literary-historical puzzle of why certain passages and not others were "neumed" and later with the ethnomusicological riddles of how, where, when, and by whom the passages were sung. Languages : English, Latin.‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2011 Paperback, CXIX+360 p., 2 b/w ill., 16 x 25.Languages : English, Latin ISBN 9782503535777.‎

‎One of the most skilful forgeries of the Middle Ages, the Cosmography of Aethicus Ister has puzzled scholars for over 150 years, not least because of its challenging Latinity. Written at a western centre in the first part of the eighth century, the work purports to be a heavily censored epitome made by St. Jerome of a ?cosmography? by an Istrian philosopher named Aethicus. This writer, who is otherwise unknown, describes a flat-earth universe resembling that of Cosmas Indicopleustes, then gives an eye-witness account of his travels to the ?isles of the gentiles? in the North and East. There he encounters not only savage races, but also monsters, Amazons, and other figures of mythology. Alexander the Great also figures prominently by immuring the ?unclean races,? who will escape to ravage the world at the coming of the Anti-Christ. Not all is fiction. The author?s observations on volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis will interest the scientific reader. The last part deals in coded fashion with contemporary events in the eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans, and may provide a clue to the author?s origins. The present volume offers a new critical text, the first translation, and a detailed commentary covering every aspect of the work. Michael W. Herren is Distinguished Research Professor of Classics emer. at York University, and the editor/translator of the Hisperica Famina, Aldhelm?s prose works, and the poems of John Scottus Eriugena.‎

‎News Catalogue Contact & About Partners Downloads Scroll up Scroll down Scroll up Scroll down Scroll up Scroll down Scroll up Scroll down The linguistic situation of medieval Europe has sometimes been characterized as one of diglossia: one learned language, Latin, was used for religion, law, and documents, while the various vernaculars were used in other linguistic registers. Informing the relationship between Latin and the vernaculars was the choice of Latin as the language of the Western Roman Empire and the Roman Church. This choice entailed the possibility of a shared literary culture and heritage across Europe, but also had consequences for access to that heritage. Scholarship on the Romance languages has contested the relevance of the term diglossia, and the divergence between written or spoken Latin and Romance is a subject of energetic debate. In other linguistic areas, too, questions have been voiced. How can one characterize the interaction between Latin and the various vernaculars, and between the various vernaculars themselves? To what extent could speakers from separate linguistic worlds communicate? These questions are fundamental for anyone concerned with communication, the transmission of learning, literary history, and cultural interaction in the Middle Ages. This volume contains contributions by historians, cultural historians, and students of texts, language, and linguistics, addressing the subject from their various perspectives but at the same time trying to overcome familiar disciplinary divisions.

‎Studies of the vernacular in the period 1300-1550 have tended to focus exclusively upon language, to the exception of the wider vernacular culture within which this was located. In a period when the status of English and ideas of Englishness were transforming in response to a variety of social, political, cultural and economic factors, the changing nature and perception of the vernacular deserves to be explored comprehensively and in detail. Vernacularity in England and Wales examines the vernacular in and across literature, art, and architecture to reach a more inclusive understanding of the nature of late medieval vernacularity. <br>The essays in this collection draw upon a wide range of source material, including buildings, devotional and educational literature, and parliamentary and civic records, in order to expand and elaborate our idea of the vernacular. Each contributor addresses central ideas about the nature and identity of the vernacular and how we appraise it, involving questions about nationhood, popularity, the commonalty, and the conflict and conjunction of the vernacular with the non-vernacular. These notions of vernacularity are situated within studies of reading practices, heresy, translation, gentry identity, seditious speech, and language politics. By considering the nature of vernacularity, these essays explore whether it is possible to perceive a common theory of vernacular use and practice at this time.‎

Il importe de savoir que quelques-uns des fleurons incontestables de nos litteratures medievales ont vu le jour dans le Nord et qu'il est imossible de ne pas les prendre en compte pour comprendre que ces petits pays aient pu susciter quelques-unes des plus belles vocations poetiques de notre temps. Il importe conjointement d'attirer l'attention des erudits sur l'interet documentaire du genre.

Varteni Chetanian a pu etablir le catalogue des manuscrits grecs et des fragments grecs presents au sein des manuscrits armeniens conserves dans la prestigieuse bibliotheque de la capitale de l?Armenie. Au cours de ses sejours a Erevan, elle a sans cesse beneficie du soutien et des conseils des bibliothecaires. Je les remercie d?avoir rendu possible l?elaboration de cet instrument de travail. La presente publication permet de faire connaitre aux chercheurs du monde entier des documents precieux, mais insuffisamment pris en compte par les hellenistes et les armenisants. En particulier, il reste beaucoup a faire dans le domaine des traductions des textes litteraires grecs en armenien. Le Catalogue de R. Varteni Chetanian, qui a par ailleurs publie une remarquable etude sur la traduction armenienne des Homelies sur les Actes des apotres de Jean Chrysostome, donne un moyen nouveau de progresser dans ce champ de recherche. C?est dire que le present Catalogue ne doit pas etre envisage comme une fin ou une cloture. Il doit au contraire etre a l?origine d?autres travaux : travaux d?edition des plus importants textes grecs exhumes par R. Varteni Chetanian ; travaux de numerisation des fragments et des manuscrits, afin de rendre possible leur consultation a distance. Jalon pour l?avenir de la recherche historique et philologique, voila comment doit etre envisage ce Catalogue. Sa confection a ete l?occasion de tisser des liens scientifiques entre l?Armenie et la France.

‎This volume discusses the key shift from manuscript to print culture in the history of books, taking The Canterbury Tales, The Book of Margery Kempe, and Piers Plowman as models of the way in which a medieval text's unique tradition influenced its transition from manuscript to print. The forces of the Reformation era did not produce the same effect across the varied textual legacy of the Middle Ages. Every text that made the transition from manuscript to print brought with it a set of concerns, a tendency to address a particular readership in particular ways, a physical presence developed in manuscript culture, all of which might shape the pathways by which a text might arrive in print, and what it might look like when it got there. This study follows The Canterbury Tales, The Book of Margery Kempe, and Piers Plowman from their circulation in manuscript to their presentation in print, in order to track how each of them survived the metamorphosis of the relationship between writers and readers as the new technology was introduced. Taken together, the three case studies demonstrate to scholars of any medieval literature the variety of possible impacts made when texts composed in manuscript culture were prepared for printing. The great force exerted by the technological and cultural developments of the English Reformation, not least the more centralized legislative regulation of the press, has long been central to the study of the history of books. This volume takes into account the ways in which individual textual traditions pushed back or accelerated the forces of early modern reform, producing their own plural reformations.‎

‎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.‎

‎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.‎

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.‎

‎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).

‎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.‎

‎Frontiers in the Middle Ages, Proceedings of the Third European Congress of the Medieval Studies (Jyvaskyla, 10-14 June 2003)‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2006 Hardcover. approx. XII 761 p., 20 b/w ill., 165 x 240 mm, Languages: English, French, German, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503524207.‎

‎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.‎

‎Form and content of instruction in Anglo-Saxon England in the light of contemporary manuscript evidence Papers presented at the International Conference, Udine, 6-8 April 2006‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2007 Hardcover. XIII 546 p., 2 b/w ill. 4 colour ill., 165 x 240 mm, Languages: English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503525910.‎

‎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.‎

‎San Pietro nella letteratura tedesca medievale‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2008 Hardcover. XVI 223 p., 80 b/w ill., 165 x 240 mm, Languages: Italian, French, English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503528465.‎

‎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.‎

‎florilegio : espacio de encuentro de los autores antiguos y medievales‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2011 Hardcover. 259 p., 165 x 240 mm, Languages: Spanish, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503535968.‎

‎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. Nous esperons donc que ce nouveau repertoire accessible dans les cabinets de manuscrits constituera une aide precieuse lors des recherches menees sur un manuscrit.‎

‎Ce quatrieme volume constitue non seulement le complement indispensable des trois premiers, mais aussi un instrument de travail irremplacable pour tous ceux qui sont a la recherche des manuscrits conserves d?un texte ou qui souhaitent identifier l?auteur d?une ?uvre restee anonyme. Il contient plus de 2000 addenda envoyes notamment par des chercheurs soucieux d?aider les autres en completant le materiel deja rassemble dans le Repertorium. Nous tenons a les remercier vivement de l?aide precieuse qu?ils ont fournie ainsi benevolement a tous les utilisateurs. D?autre part, en confectionnant les divers index, des uniformisations se sont encore averees necessaires que ce soit dans la maniere de citer un manuscrit, dans le nom des bibliotheques, dans le titre d?une ?uvre ou l?identification d?un auteur. A la fin d?un travail de cette ampleur, seuls les index permettent de voir une serie d?erreurs ou de variantes qui ne sautent pas toujours aux yeux en elaborant la documentation sur la base des fiches individuelles contenant les divers incipit et classees alphabetiquement. Enfin, a l?aide des index, il sera possible de faire des recherches croisees en ne partant plus seulement de l?incipit, mais aussi de l?auteur ou de la bibliotheque qui a conserve une ?uvre donnee. L?effort d?uniformisation qui a ete fait pour les realiser apparait immediatement et constitue un apport irremplacable a la documentation deja rassemblee dans les trois volumes precedents. Pour etre certain d?avoir reuni tous les renseignements necessaires, le chercheur doit se livrer a plusieurs interrogations successives qui sont indispensables. Ces interrogations complementaires eviteront de laisser echapper une information pertinente et de passer a cote d?un manuscrit important. Ce volume fournira donc l?essentiel a propos d?une ?uvre donnee et completera ainsi de maniere adequate une premiere recherche menee exclusivement sur l?incipit dans les trois volumes precedents.‎
