L’opera affronta la annosa questione dei riti malabarici, cosiddetti dalla regione indiana di Malabar: i Gesuiti, missionari nelle Indie orientali, avevano autorizzato una pericolosa e non ortodossa commistione di cerimonie cristiane e riti pagani. Il cappuccino Norberto, (1697-1770), pseudonimo dell’abate Platel, offre una descrizione storica molto dettagliata e critica delle missioni gesuite in Malabar, arricchita da molte notizie circa la cultura e costumi degli indiani. Il legato pontificio de Tournon promulgò nel 1704 la prima condanna dei riti malabarici, e con Benedetto XIV si ebbe la normativa in 16 punti che definiva il comprtamento dei missionari cattolici. missioni mission viaggi India malabar riti rites customs indians jesuits gesuiti cappuccini‎

‎Summary The British Isles, Scandinavia, Iceland, Greenland, and Eastern Canada, alongside many small islands, form a broken bridge across the northern extremities of the Atlantic Ocean. This 'North Atlantic World' is a heterogeneous but culturally intertwined area, ideally suited to the fostering of an interest in all things northern by its people. For the storytellers and writers of the past, each more northerly land was far enough away that it could seem fabulous and even otherworldly, while still being just close enough for myths and travellers' tales to accrue. This book charts attitudes to the North in the North Atlantic World from the time of the earliest extant sources until the present day. The varied papers within consider a number of key questions which have arisen repeatedly over the centuries: 'where is the North located?', 'what are its characteristics?', and 'who, or what lives there?'. They do so from many angles, considering numerous locations and an immense span of time. All are united by their engagement with the North Atlantic World's relationship with the North.

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, xii + 468 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503585451.‎

‎Summary The volume discusses Central European and Eastern Central European historiographies of the High and Late Middle Ages. It deals with histories written in a time which brought about a profound differentiation of medieval societies in these regions. As new social classes achieved economic and political power, the demand for reassuring identifications grew more pressing. Narratives of the past were tailored specifically for distinct social groups, often using vernacular languages instead of the universal language of elite education, Latin. The volume pays attention to the interplay between languages and focuses on the strategies that individual works developed in order to balance the many alternative modes of identification. Filling a significant scholarly gap, the volume offers important insights into narratives of identification written in Latin and in the various vernaculars emerging as the new political languages of the period.

‎Sarah Pomeroy has consulted archaeological data, documents, historical writing, and the literature of the high civilization of Greece and Rome with minute attention. Her book is free of anachronistic speculation about what women must have felt, speculation projected back from our age to the past. She does not draw large conclusions or form sweeping generalizations, but the details she has gathered here speak for themselves and do not readily leave the mind. Included are photographs, endnotes, a bibliography, and an index. Wide ranging examination of the evidence for the various roles and perceptions of women in Greek and Roman society. 265p. plates.bibliography.index Book‎
