‎paperback, geillustreerd, 416 pagina's. ISBN 9789075697896. Eind zeventiende eeuw verschijnen tien Nederlandse romans waarin allerlei randfiguren vertellen over hun leven aan de onderkant van de maatschappij. De vertellers slaan twee vliegen in een klap: zij kunnen breeduit over seks schrijven en hun kritiek op de hypocriete maatschappij spuien. Het woord is aan de onderkant onderzoekt waarom juist aan het einde van de zeventiende eeuw bij Nederlandse auteurs (en lezers) interesse ontstond voor pornografie. De gematigde brave burger maakt in deze studie korte tijd plaats voor de radicale libertijn, die heilige huisjes omver trapt en de onderkant bovenhaalt.‎

‎The book is the first comprehensive edition of all hitherto identified fragments of the K'anti Kilguluk Nom Bitig in Old Uygur (Old Turkic) culled from several collections of Central Asian manuscripts in Germany, Russia, China and Japan. The text is a translation in 40 chapters of a Chinese Buddhist work (Cibei daochang chanfa) which belongs to the apocrypha. It testifies to the strong influence of Chinese Buddhism at the beginning of the second millennium A.D. among the Uygurs. The objective of the work, which was intended to be recited during a ritual, is the expiation of sins. Another aim was to rescue the patrons' relatives from a life in unfavourable births among hell beings, hungry ghosts, animals etc. Remarkable is the insertion of what must have been originally about a thousand Buddha names numerous of which are preserved in the Old Uygur version.

‎Three Women of Liege A Critical Edition of and Commentary on the Middle English Lives of Elizabeth of Spalbeek, Christina Mirabilis, and Marie d'Oignies‎

‎Hardback, VIII+350 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503524719. Elizabeth of Spalbeek, Christina Mirabilis, and Marie d'Oignies were three of the famous late twelfth-/early thirteenth-century 'holy women' from the region of Brabant and Liege: their life stories (written in Latin by Philip of Clairvaux, Thomas of Cantimpre, and Jacques of Vitry) were read throughout later medieval Europe, and Margery Kempe modelled her Book, and her life, upon Marie?s. The Latin lives of these beguine saints were not well known in England, but they were translated into English in the fifteenth century, and survive together in a single manuscript: Oxford, Bodleian Library, Douce 114. Three Women of Liege is the first critical edition of these Lives, which represent some of the only evidence of English interest in continental female mysticism. This edition includes an introduction that discusses the role of the manuscript in England and three essays that analyze the roles of these beguines in their Low Countries home of Liege along with the English reception of their lives. The edition itself is also extensively annotated and glossed, making it accessible to any scholar of English medieval literature. Languages : English, Middle English.‎

‎New Trends in Feminine Spirituality The Holy Women of Liege and their Impact.‎

‎Hardback, XIV+350 p., 160 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503507682. The essays in this volume examine not only the beguinage religious life in the southern Low Countries, but also the impact of this movement on later medieval Sweden, England and France, the new modes of influence by women in their religious lives, and the revivals of feminine spirituality. Was there a women's movement in the thirteenth century and is such a question meaningful in its medieval context? Far from being resolved, the issue of whether women had a thirteenth-century renaissance has still decisively to unsettle the periodization of Western European history in twelfth and sixteenth-century humanist renaissances. Herbert Grundmann long ago demonstrated the participation of women in the eremitically-inspired reforming movements of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and in the production of vernacular literature. Yet it is upon his work that this volume builds, for the diocese of Liege is the key area in this development. It was from Liege that Jacques de Vitry approached the papacy to secure permission for the women of this bishopric of Liege, France and Germany to live together and to promote holiness in each other by mutual example. The seventeen contributors to this volume examine not only the beguine religious life in the southern Low Countries, but also the impact of this movement on later medieval Sweden, England and France, the new modes of influence exerted by women in their religious lives, and the revivals of feminine spirituality in the late medieval West through to contemporary North America. Research does not yet allow for a whole new synthesis, but this volume directs scholars to detailed work on specific localities and persons, with an awareness of the problems and possibilities of wider European comparisons. The contributors are: Jocelyn Wogan-Browne and Marie-Elisabeth Henneau, Anne Blonstein, Else Marie Wiberg Pedersen, Alexandra Barratt, Penny Galloway, Brenda Bolton, Bridget Morris, Marjorie Curry Woods, Carolyne Larrington, Anneke B. Mulder-Bakker, Renate Blumenfeld-Kosinski, Katie Normington, Jane Chance, Ulrike Wiethaus, Luce Irigaray and Antonia Lacey. Languages : English.‎

‎Classics in the Medieval and Renaissance Classroom. The Role of Ancient Texts in the Arts Curriculum as Revealed by Surviving Manuscripts and Early Printed Books‎

‎Hardback, approx. X+455 pages ., 2 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503527543. Medievalists and Renaissance specialists contribute to this compelling volume examining how and why the classics of Greek and Latin culture were taught in various Western European curricula (including in England, Scotland, France, Germany, and Italy) from the tenth to the sixteenth centuries. By analysing some of the commentaries, glosses, and paraphrases of these classics that were deployed in medieval and Renaissance classrooms, and by offering greater insight into premodern pedagogic practice, the chapters here emphasize the 'pragmatic' aspects of humanist study. The volume proposes that the classics continued to be studied in the medieval and Renaissance periods not simply for their cultural or 'ornamental' value, but also for utilitarian reasons, for 'life lessons'. Because the volume goes beyond analysing the educational manuals surviving from the premodern period and attempts to elucidate the teaching methodology of the premodern period, it provides a nuanced insight into the formation of the premodern individual. The volume will therefore be of great interest to scholars and students interested in medieval and Renaissance history in general, as well as those interested in the history of educational theory and practice, or in the premodern reception of classical literature.

‎Old Georgian Palimpsest Codex Vindobonensis georgicus 2‎

‎Hardback, XXXVI+323 p., 7 colour ill., 30,5 x 44. ISBN 9782503517131. The present work, starting volume of the new Series Ibero-Caucasica, contains a complete edition of the Old Georgian texts in Asomtavruli script that are preserved in the lower layer of the famous palimpsest Codex Vindobonensis georgicus no. 2 of the Austrian National Library, Vienna. Based on a thorough analysis with the spectral imaging method provided by the MuSiS imaging system, more than 95% of the original content has been deciphered and restored. Of the 13 original manuscripts written in Asomtavruli script, six pertain to the so-called "Khanmeti" period of the Old Georgian tradition extending from the beginning of Georgian literacy in the 5th roughly to the 8th century A.D. The Khanmeti texts range from fragments of early translations of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke), parts of the Old Testament (Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Esdras), and the Protevangelium of James to legends of Saints (Cyprianus and Justina, Christina). The post-Khanmeti texts (dating roughly from the 9th-10th centuries) comprise fragments of a Lectionary (lectures from Exodus, Isaiah, the Gospel and the 3rd letter of John, and Acts of Apostles), Old Testament texts (I and II Chronicles), and several homiletic texts (Epiphanius of Cyprus on Measures and Weights, Gregor of Nyssa on the Build of Man a.o.). In the edition, all texts are represented both in a diplomatic transliteration (in Asomtavruli script) and a plain transcription (in modern Mkhedruli script), together with digitally enhanced images of the pages concerned. Additionally, the text passages are contrasted line by line with the most relevant parallels (Old Georgian, Greek, Armenian, Syriac, Latin). The contents of the texts are summarized in several consolidated indexes. Languages : English.‎

‎Medieval Translator. Traduire au Moyen Age‎

‎Paperback, XXV+466 p., 2 b/w ill., 150 x 230 mm. ISBN 9782503525358. Fundamental to all translation work, the concept of 'displacement' allows one to take into account the multiple successive states inhering in a single text, and to interpret these variations. Translation is, in effect, a form of transfer; more specifically, it involves a movement from one context to another, be it national, social, political, historical, linguistic or religious. The texts examined here illustrate, each in their unique way, the relationship between contextual change and audience. They are also the product of subtle interactions between a variety of elements, the result of which is a 'reinvention' of their respective roles and uses over time. For example, a text intending to entertain may also have educational outcomes; a book of local miracles may attract pilgrims and contribute to the economic life of a monastery; a text and its translations may at some point be appropriated for polemical purposes, while a library of translated texts founded on humanist principals may also serve political ends. Furthermore, each successive adaptation and its accompanying annotations impacts upon the tonality of a text. While this diversity of meanings may inspire some (such as the medieval poet Marie de France), it moreover raises a number of important and difficult questions for the modern translator. How, for example, does one translate the 'harmonics' underlying a series of mystical puns? The 'solution' usually involves a compromise that both enhances and undermines the translated text. This volume presents a selection of twenty-eight papers delivered at the Seventh International Conference dedicated to The Theory and Practice of Translation in the Middle Ages, which took place at the University of Paris III - Nouvelle Sorbonne in July 2004. The period covered by the texts and their translations extends from antiquity to the present day. The literary and critical breadth of these papers, as well as the rigorous interrogation of the modern translation theory, illustrates the remarkable vitality and diversity of current scholarship in this field. Au coeur de toute activite de traduction, le concept de deplacement permet de rendre compte des multiples etats successifs d'un meme texte et d'en interpreter les variations. Toute traduction est en effet une translation, c'est-a-dire un changement d'environnement, que ce dernier soit national, social, politique, historique, linguistique ou ecclesial. Les textes examines ici temoignent chacun a sa maniere des transformations qu'ils ont subies lorsque, changeant de langue, de style ou d'epoque, ils ont change de destinataires. La dynamique qui les traverse se nourrit de subtils cotoiements : un desir legitime de divertir peut fort bien s'accommoder d'une intention didactique ; un recueil de miracles locaux peut attirer des pelerins, contribuant ainsi a la vie economique d'un monastere ; un texte et ses traductions peuvent devenir l'objet d'utilisations polemiques ; se constituer en humaniste une bibliotheque de traductions peut aussi servir un dessein politique. Par ailleurs les transpositions successives et leurs gloses, comme en musique, entrainent des changements de tonalite. Ce 'surplus' de sens qu'encourage Marie de France pourra cependant se heurter a des resistances : comment par exemple preserver d'une langue a l'autre toutes les harmoniques que libere un enchainement de jeux de mots mystiques ... Ainsi l'inevitable compromis qui s'imposera au traducteur sera souvent le choix d'un enrichissement double d'une deperdition. Ce volume presente une selection des communications entendues lors du septieme colloque international consacre a la theorie et la pratique de la traduction des textes au Moyen Age qui s'est tenu a l'Universite de Paris III- Sorbonne Nouvelle en juillet 2004. La periode couverte par ces textes et leurs traductions s'etend de l'Antiquite jusqu'a nos jours. Ce sont au total vingt-huit etudes qui sont ici proposees. La richesse des domaines abordes, la haute technicite des analyses, de meme que la place faite aux questionnements de la traductologie moderne illustrent la remarquable vitalite des etudes actuelles relatives aux multiples aspects de la traduction des textes medievaux.

‎Translating the Sagas Two Hundred Years of Challenge and Response‎

‎Hardback, X+221 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503507729. Few speakers of English have ever been able to read the Icelandic sagas in the original language, and published saga translations have played a major role in shaping attitudes towards Viking Age Scandinavia and the great literary achievements of medieval Iceland in the English-speaking world. This book is the first publication to provide an extended examination of the history and development of Icelandic saga translations into English from their beginnings in the eighteenth century to today. It explores reasons for undertaking saga translation, and the challenges confronting translators. Chapters are devoted to the pioneering saga translations, the later Victorian and Edwardian eras, the often-neglected period of the two World Wars and their aftermath, and the upsurge of saga translation in the second half of the twentieth century. The contributions of individual translators and teams are reviewed, from James Johnstone in the 1780s through major Victorians such as Samuel Laing, George Webbe Dasent, and William Morris, distinguished twentieth century figures such as Lee M. Hollander, Gwyn Jones, Magnus Magnusson and Hermann Palsson, and George Johnston, and the great co-operative project which produced The Complete Sagas of Icelanders at the century?s end. The book concludes with saga translation facing interesting new possibilities and challenges, not least those generated by information technology. Languages : English.‎

‎Worldview and Thought of Tolomeo Fiadoni (Ptolemy of Lucca)‎

‎Hardback, XVIII+276 p., 1 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503529264. Tolomeo Fiadoni (1236-1327) was one of the most important political theorists and historians of the Middle Ages. He was central to developing a theory for the practices of Northern Italian republicanism and was hostile to kingship, portraying it as despotic and inappropriate for virtuous and freedom-loving people. He was the first writer to compare Aristotle's examples of Greek mixed constitutions - Sparta, Crete, and Carthage - with the Roman Republic, the ancient Hebrew polity, the Church, and medieval communes, yet he remained a staunch defender of the absolute secular and spiritual monarchy of the pope. Blythe explores various tensions in Tolomeo's work that are often overlooked in scholarly treatments of him, and which derive from cultural preconceptions and the diverse influences on him: Aristotle, Augustine, apologists for papal power, his life in the Dominican Order, his educational experience with Thomas Aquinas, and his social position as a member of Northern Italy's ruling class. These factors exerted contradictory influences on Tolomeo and led him to a sometimes unsuccessful intellectual struggle for consistency. This book is the first full-length study of Tolomeo's thought and it gives full consideration not only to the political writings for which he is most known, but also to his historical and exegetical works. It is the companion to The Life and Works of Tolomeo Fiadoni (Ptolemy of Lucca). Languages : English, Latin.‎

‎Nota Bene Reading Classics and Writing Melodies in the Early Middle Ages‎

‎Paperback, XV+362 p., 14 b/w ill., 16 x 25. ISBN 9782503525341. 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.

‎Singing with Angels Liturgy, Music, and Art in the Gradual of Gisela von Kerssenbrock‎

‎Hardback, VIII+384 p., 124 b/w ill. + 44 colour ill., 21 x 27,5. ISBN 9782503516806. A prized possession of the Cistercian convent of Marienbrunn in Rulle near Osnabruck in northern Germany was its richly illuminated gradual dating to c. 1300, which is of great significance in the history of medieval art for several reasons. With 52 historiated initials iconographically complex in their literary quotations from the liturgy, the manuscript ranks as one of the most lavishly decorated books of its type to survive. Painted in an elegant courtly Gothic style, it is ascribed in a prefatory inscription to the nun Gisela von Kerssenbrock, who wrote, notated, and decorated the manuscript "with golden letters and beautiful images." Such an encyclopedic listing of a scribe-artist's labors is unparalleled in medieval scribal colophons. The high quality of the miniatures ranks her among the most gifted women artists of the Middle Ages. Gisela is depicted in two self-portraits within the manuscript, in one of which she is leading the nuns of Rulle in singing the Christmas hymn, visual evidence that she was the choirmistress at this convent. The manuscript's images reflect the intellectual ambience of encloistered nuns who were steeped in the annual liturgical cycle of feasts with its associated bible readings, theological commentary, sermons, music, dramatic ritual, and artistic decoration. As it was used in the nuns' daily celebration of the mass, the book is an eloquent witness of the communal religious life of medieval women rather than their private meditations or mystical experiences.This study explores the imagery and texts associated with major feasts of the liturgical year and the novel ways in which music and text are woven into the artistic program of Gisela's manuscript. In particular, her book shows the seminal importance of the Easter celebration for convent life, as well over half of its illustrations are clustered in the Easter season; and the manuscript repeatedly gives artistic expression to the nuns' hopes of heaven.

‎What Nature Does Not Teach. Didactic Literature in the Medieval and Early-Modern Periods‎

‎Hardback, XIV+530 p., 3 b/w ill., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503525969. This interdisciplinary volume takes as its subject the multi-faceted genre of didactic literature (the literature of instruction) which constituted the cornerstone of literary enterprise and social control in medieval and early modern Europe. Following an Introduction that raises questions of didactic meaning, intent, audience, and social effect, nineteen chapters deal with the construction of the individual didactic voice and persona in the premodern period, didactic literature for children, women as the creators, objects, and consumers of didactic literature, the influence of advice literature on adult literacy, piety, and heresy, and the revision of classical didactic forms and motifs in the early modern period. Attention is paid throughout to the continuities of didactic literature across the medieval and early modern periods?its intertextuality, reliance on tradition, and self-renewal?and to questions of gender, authority, control, and the socially constructed nature of advice. Contributors particularly explore the intersection of advice literature with real lives, considering the social impact of both individual texts and the didactic genre as a whole. The volume deals with a wide variety of texts from the early Middle Ages to the eighteenth century, written in languages from Latin through the European vernaculars to Byzantine Greek and Russian, offering a comprehensive overview of this pervasive and influential genre.

‎Medieval Women - Texts and Contexts in Late Medieval Britain Essays in Honour of Felicity Riddy‎

‎Hardback, XVI+436 p., 160 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503509792. Profiting from the development of newly flexible models of gender, literacy, the political, the social, and the domestic, this volume on medieval women considers the broadest implications for the study of medieval culture without simply re-absorbing medieval women into invisibility. In this themed collection of 24 articles by literary, historical and archaeological scholars, the study of medieval women is confidently and freshly mainstream. Profiting from the development of newly flexible models of gender, literacy, the political, the social, and the domestic, the volume is non-separatist, exploratory both of new source materials and new readings of established sources, and able to consider the broadest implications for the study of medieval culture without simply re-absorbing medieval women into invisibility. Grouped under the headings of matters of reading, of conduct and place, the essays move from legal cases to actual buildings and conceptions of the household to conduct books and chronicles to romances and saints' lives to the medieval unconscious and back again, exemplifying the mature interdisciplinarity of current work on medieval women.

‎Insupportable mais fascinant. Jean Calvin, ses amis, ses ennemis et les autres‎

‎Paperback, VIII+292 p., 15 x 25. ISBN 9782503545134. Apres avoir pratique Jean Calvin pendant plus de quarante-cinq ans, surtout dans sa production imprimee, Jean-Francois Gilmont propose un portrait du reformateur dessine a travers ses relations sociales. Il cerne son action sur la societe de son temps. Cet homme a en effet exerce une emprise exceptionnelle sur son entourage, proche et lointain. Au cours des ages, il continue a provoquer tout a la fois une fascination inconditionnelle et des rejets definitifs. Pour tenter d'expliquer le rayonnement de cet homme insupportable mais fascinant, le projet est ne de reunir une galerie de portraits qui montrent les attitudes parfois contradictoires de Calvin et de son entourage. Les relations de multiples personnages avec le reformateur mettent en lumiere une diversite des approches et des contacts, positifs ou negatifs. Il n'y a pas seulement les amis fideles, ni ceux qui sont devenus des ennemis mortels. Entre les deux, il y a d'autres rencontres, que ce soit avec de nobles princesses ou d'humbles tacherons de la Reforme. Ici, le maladroit Mulot benefice d'une indulgence inouie, tandis que la, Marie d'Ennetieres fait eclater la misogynie du reformateur. Et ainsi de suite dans une cinquantaine de rencontres. La recherche, fondee sur les sources contemporaines, offre des images contrastees. Les qualites eminentes qui caracterisent le reformateur n'empechent pas de denoncer ses defauts, dont certains sont tout aussi eminents. Cette volonte d'eviter tant la calvinolatrie que la clavinophobie donne a ces etres du passe un visage plus humain. Ces peres de la Reforme melangent projets grandioses et mesquineries tout comme les hommes d'aujourd'hui. Languages : French, Old French.‎

Par ailleurs, il est question de l'action des imprimeurs, Martin Lempereur a Anvers, Pierre de Vingle a Geneve et Neuchatel. D'autres approches sont encore proposees : l'etude de la bibliotheque d'Anne Boleyn, la reecriture et l'expurgation d'une preface d'Erasme, le recours a l'epigraphe Lisez et jugez sur les pages de titre. L'etude de la fin d'un best-seller catholique souligne en contre-point la montee du livre evangelique. Enfin un chapitre de conclusion tente une vue d'ensemble sur le destin du livre evangelique en francais avant l'entree en scene de Jean Calvin. Le recueil propose aussi l'edition de quelques textes peu connus : une Epistre chrestienne de 1524 environ, peut-etre de Farel, le premier psaume traduit par Marot livre a l'imprimerie, sans parler de textes dont la transcription est ajoutee en annexe de plusieurs etudes. Bref, une vue d'ensemble sur un sujet parfois neglige au profit des annees sur lesquelles domine la figure de Jean Calvin. Languages : French, Latin.‎
