‎Twee continenten, vijf eeuwen kunst, twee manieren van beelddenken. Luc Tuymans, de internationaal gerenommeerde Belgische kunstenaar, en Yu Hui, de curator van het Palace Museum in de Verboden Stad in Beijing, brengen een dialoog op gang tussen kunst uit de Zuidelijke Nederlanden en kunst uit China. Tekeningen en schilderijen van onder anderen Van Eyck, Brueghel, Rubens, Van Dyck, Jordaens, Ensor, Mellery, Spilliaert en Magritte gaan een verhelderende confrontatie aan met werken op papier en zijde uit de Ming- en Qingdynastie en het begin van de Chinese Republiek. Ter verbreding van de context zijn ook verluchte handschriften, boekdrukwerken, drukken en cartografie opgenomen. Hoe geven de kunstenaars beweging weer? Hoe gaan ze om met afstand en detail? Met schaal en diepte? Wat is het belang van het verhalende element? Van kalligrafie en iconografie? Hoe zit het met de weergave van schaduw, van naakt? Het Verboden Rijk reactiveert de oude meesters en brengt niet alleen ons roemrijk en berucht verleden tot leven, maar slaat ook een brug naar de hedendaagse kunst. Luc Tuymans: ???De begrippen ???waardigheid??? en ???waarachtigheid??? kunnen worden gezien als sleutels die de deur openen naar het begrip van Chinese kunst. De toeschouwer wordt verzocht verder te kijken dan het beeld zelf om de betekenis te achterhalen. Het beeld is een schets van het begrip van een idee.?? als nieuw !!‎

‎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 2017; 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 uitgave werd opgesplitst in een set van twee delen. De editie begint met de Advent en eindigt met de legende van de heilige Pancratius, en bevat daarmee de legenden rond de drie grote feesten: Kerstmis, Pasen en Pinksteren. Daarnaast biedt de set ook een uitvoerige inleiding, waarin eerst de Latijnse Legenda aurea, haar auteur en haar overlevering kort aan de orde worden gesteld. Het zwaartepunt ligt op de Middelnederlandse tekst, zijn vertaler en diens bron, en op de overlevering ervan in handschriftelijke en gedrukte bronnen. Een aantal concordanties en een namenregister ontsluiten de legendenteksten en maken het mogelijk de Gulden Legende en de actuele edities van de Latijnse tekst parallel te raadplegen.‎

‎Pragmatic Literacy and the Medieval Use of the Vernacular The Swedish Example.‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2009 Hardcover. XIV 250 p., 5 b/w ill. 23 colour ill., 2 b/w tables, 2 b/w line art, 156 x 234 mm, Languages: English, Swedish, Old Swedish, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503527475.‎

‎Between 1150 and 1400 Sweden was transformed from a society which was predominantly reliant on oral communication into a society which increasingly deployed writing. Latin, the traditional language of government and records, was gradually replaced by vernacular Swedish. The watershed moment in this process was the drafting of national and town laws in the 1350s, an event which established Swedish as the language of the judiciary and judicial records. From this period written documentation was gradually integrated into legal procedure.Pragmatic Literacy argues that the Crown, the expanding bureaucracy, the editing of the laws in Swedish, and the laws? demands for written documentation in everyday transactions were the main driving forces behind the development in medieval Sweden of lay literacy for practical purposes. The book demonstrates how the early use of writing by the royal administration and the writing of provincial laws in Swedish created ?centres of literacy? from which literate ways of thinking and acting spread both geographically and socially. It further illustrates how literacy moved beyond the confines of the clerical elite, by exploring how different members of the laity adopted pragmatic literacy for private purposes. Pragmatic Literacy thus traces the history of pragmatic literacy in Sweden through the lens of the judicial and administrative archive.‎

‎Twenty essays on the continuing and renewed relevance to medieval studies of Ruth Finnegan's concept of the orality-literacy continuum.<br>Ever since its introduction in the 1970s, Ruth Finnegan?s notion of the oral-written, or the oral-literate, continuum has served as one of the most effective means of dispelling the dichotomous understanding of the two principal media of communication in the Middle Ages. However, while often casually invoked, the concept has never been made a focus of study in its own right. The present volume is an attempt to place the oral-written continuum at the heart of discussion as an object of a head-on theoretical investigation, as a backdrop to distinct processes of acquisition of literacy in different European regions, and, indeed, as a tool for navigating the rugged landscape of verbal forms, exploring the complexity of oral-literary interrelationships that they manifest. The articles probe the concept with a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, span diverse texts and genres, and involve a range of European cultural contexts, with special emphasis on Scandinavia and Northern Europe, but also reaching out to various other corners of the continent: from France, the Netherlands and England in the West, over Germany, Bohemia and Poland in the central region, to Serbia and Bosnia in the Southeast.‎

‎Medieval hunting literature contains a rich tradition of didactic texts on falconry and hunting. Treatises on falconry are known since the tenth century, at first in Latin, and since the 13th century onwards mainly in the vernacular. This is also the time when the first treatises on hunting make their appearance, although they are rarer than the treatises on falconry. This publication of the Typologie presents a survey of the medieval literature on falconry and on hunting, in Latin and in the various vernacular languages, points out some directions for future research, and discusses the critical problems. Finally, the historical value of the genre is presented with regard to various fields: knowledge of medieval environment, study of material culture, economic and social history, lexicography, literary history, iconography (seven miniatures are published in an appendix), history of science and technology.<br>La litterature cynegetique medievale forme un ensemble diversifie de textes didactiques relatifs a la chasse. Les traites de fauconnerie, attestes des le Xe siecle en Occident, se diffusent en latin, puis en langue vulgaire a partir du XIIIe siecle. A la meme periode apparaissent les premiers traites de venerie, qui resteront en nombre bien plus limite. Ce fascicule de la Typologie presente un tour d'horizon de la litterature cynegetique medievale, tant latine que vernaculaire, indique quelques directions de recherche et desiderata, reflechit aux problemes critiques qui se posent. Enfin, l'apport historique du genre est evoque: connaissance du milieu naturel, etude de la culture materielle, histoire economique et sociale, lexicographie, histoire litteraire, iconographie (sept illustrations sont jointes au texte), histoire des sciences et des techniques.<br>Die mittelalterliche Jagdliteratur bildet eine komplexe Gattung von didaktischen Texten, die ihre grosste Blute im Spatmittelalter gekannt hat. Beiztraktate sind ab dem 10. Jhd. bezeugt; sie verbreiten sich zuerst im Lateinischen, ab dem 13. Jhd. auch in den Volkssprachen. Aus der gleichen Zeit stammen die ersten Traktate uber Grosswild, deren Zahl aber vergleichsweise immer gering bleibt. Diese Lieferung der Typologie bietet einen uberblick uber die mittelalterliche Jagdliteratur in den verschiedenen Sprachen, deutet einige Forschungsrichtungen und Desiderata an, bespricht die Probleme der Textkritik und der Auswertung. Schliesslich wird der historiche Gehalt der Gattung nach verschiedenen Gebieten behandelt: Kenntnis der Natur, Realienkunde, Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte, Lexicographie, Literatur, Ikonographie (sieben Farbbilder sind dem Text beigefugt), Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften und der Technik.‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2007 Hardcover. XVI 231 p., 4 b/w ill., 1 b/w tables, 160 x 240 mm, Languages: English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503523163.‎

‎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.‎

‎Late Middle English 'Lucydarye'‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2013 Hardcover. XL 141 p., 156 x 234 mm, Languages: English, Middle French, Middle English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503540825.‎

‎This book offers the reader a textual comparison of the 14th-century French Second Lucidaire and the late Middle English translation Lucydarye. The Lucydarye is a late Middle English manual of popular instruction, largely religious in its orientation, though including lengthy discussions of witchcraft, demonology, and meteorological phenomena. There is a strong interest in pastoral instruction. Set in the form of a dialogue between a magister and his discipulus, it is an over-literal translation of a fourteenth-century French text known as the Second Lucidaire, itself a free adaptation of the Latin Elucidarium, traditionally attributed to Honorius Augustodunensis (Honorius of Autun). The translation is the work of one Andrew Chertsey. The Middle English text, edited here for the first time (from a Wynkyn de Worde print), bears striking similarities to other, popular works of an encyclopaedic nature, notably Sydrak and Bokkus and the Pricke of Conscience. Equally, there are many points in common with the sermon literature of the time. The Lucydarye is printed alongside the French source so as to allow the reader both to appreciate points of obscurity in the text and to observe Chertsey's translation technique. A discussion of the relationship between the Lucydarye and the various versions of the Second Lucidaire throws some light on the complicated textual tradition of the French prints‎

‎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.‎
