‎Summary Richard of Saint-Victor's On The Trinity from the 12th century is a main source for our understanding of a leading intellectual tradition of the Western world in which love was regarded the highest and the best in the human world and therefore also was the reality in which the highest and the best, God, was to be seen. Richard understands human love as interpersonal so that love must be realized between two persons, but for being the highest love that excludes any private and selfish love, both loving persons must share their love with a third person.

‎Un platonisme original au XIIe siècle. Métaphysique pluraliste et théologie trinitaire dans le De unitate et pluralitate creaturarum d'Achard de Saint-Victor‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 442 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:1 col., Language: French. ISBN 9782503593746.‎

‎Summary Achard de Saint-Victor (1171) est un représentant moins connu de l'école de Saint-Victor, élève d'Hugues, chanoine régulier, maître, abbé de Saint-Victor à Paris (1155-1161), évêque d'Avranches (1161-1171). Son oeuvre principal, le De unitate et pluralitate creaturarum, consiste en deux parties qui portent sur la doctrine trinitaire et sur la doctrine de la pluralité des raisons éternelles dans le Verbe de Dieu. Cette recherche entend rétablir les thèses principales exposées par Achard de Saint-Victor dans son livre De unitate et pluralitate creaturarum pour montrer que les capacités métaphysiques de ce penseur ne le cèdent pas aux philosophes plus connus de son époque. Notamment, l'autrice étudie la façon dont le De unitate recourt aux doctrines médio et néoplatoniciennes pour résoudre la question d'une coexistence de l'unité et de la pluralité en Dieu et dans les créatures. L'enjeu est de mieux comprendre la place de la métaphysique platonicienne dans l'école de Saint-Victor, et ce malgré la rareté des sources au XIIe siècle, en particulier des oeuvres de Platon ou de ses disciples grecs. Le présent ouvrage contribue à résoudre deux problèmes de l'histoire de la philosophie : quels éléments et sources platoniciens ont été reçus au XIIe siècle et quelle place la pensée victorine fait à l'héritage platonicien. Les problèmes philosophiques soulevés sont la multiplication des objets intelligibles et sensibles, la définition de la chose et l'identité des êtres.‎

‎Homiliary of Paul the Deacon. Religious and Cultural Reform in Carolingian Europe‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 339 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 3 col., 13 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, Language(s):English, Latin. ISBN 9782503577913.‎

‎Summary As one of the most widely used products of Charlemagne's religious and cultural reforms, the homiliary of Paul the Deacon is a unique monument in the history of Western Europe. Completed around AD 797, this collection of patristic homilies and sermons shaped the religious faith and liturgical practices of the churches in Carolingian Europe and those of countless other churches over the course of a millennium of use. Until now, scholarly study of the homiliary has rested on seven partial witnesses to the collection. This study, however, draws on over 80 newly identified witnesses from the Carolingian period, while providing a brief guide and handlist to hundreds of later manuscripts. It replaces the current scholarly reconstruction of the homiliary, discusses the significance of the collection's liturgical structure and provisions, and considers the composition of the homiliary in the context of Charlemagne's reforms and Paul's patron-client relationships. The study also brings together evidence for the production and use of this text in thirty-three Carolingian monasteries, cathedrals, and churches. The book then addresses the homiliary's theological character: the contents of the homiliary reflected a concern for expressing and defending orthodox doctrine at Charlemagne's court against Trinitarian and Christological heresies, as well as an urgent attention to moral reform in the light of a belief in the imminence of divine judgement. Finally, the study demonstrates the varied uses of Paul's collection and its historical legacy.

‎Opera latina XXXIX (64). Ars ad faciendum et solvendum quaestiones‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, lxxxv + 788 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Illustrations:3 b/w, 1 col., Language(s):Latin, Spanish. ISBN 9782503586779.‎

‎Summary This work by Ramon Llull, originally composed in Catalan ('Art de fer e solre questions'), was written in Rome in 1295. It is also known as Lectura super Artem inventivam et Tabulam generalem, as it attempts to make the Ars inventiva veritatis (op. 44) and Tabula generalis (op. 53) more approachable. In the prologue Llull expresses his wish for this work to be translated into Latin. It belongs to the so-called encyclopaedic writings in the Lullian production, and the author announces a thousand questions related mainly to theology. The present work aims to provide a general technique applicable to any subject, a practical usage of the Ars inventiva veritatis and the Tabula generalis. In general, Llull develops some aspects dealt with in op. 44 and op. 53 in order to solve possible objections or to experiment with new procedures. It is another step in the great epistemological project of the Majorcan: to establish a new general science that overcomes the difficulties inherent in scholastic-Aristotelian science, to apply its method to the articles of the Christian faith, and to create a universal scientific system as a solid basis for the other sciences.‎

‎Summary Si la notion de mystique semble aller de soi pour le Moyen Âge, ce semble être par suite d'un malentendu. Car si l'historiographie du xixe siècle flétrissait volontiers de ce mot ce qui, dans la littérature médiévale, lui semblait mièvre, irrationnel ou extravagant, les auteurs médiévaux se servent quant à eux de l'adjectif "mystique" pour désigner bien autre chose : une certaine manière d'interpréter les Écritures (sens mystique), une façon de discourir sur Dieu (théologie mystique), une appartenance à la même Église (corps mystique). Il convient donc de revenir aux textes, en leur posant ces questions. Quand le mot "mystique" est-il employé dans des oeuvres médiévales, et que veut-il dire ? À l'inverse, dans les oeuvres dites aujourd'hui "mystiques", comment ce qui relève de cette catégorie est-il nommé, défini, compris par les auteurs eux-mêmes ? Est-il pertinent d'enclore dans un même genre des textes aussi divers que les visions, la littérature de dévotion, les analyses de la contemplation, les itinéraires de l'âme vers Dieu, la Théologie mystique du pseudo-Denys ? De la fin de l'époque patristique aux début de la Renaissance, le sens du mot "mystique" est-il resté stable, ou bien a-t-il évolué ? Au fond, peut-on dire que la notion moderne de mystique a son origine dans les temps médiévaux ?

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 488 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503580661.‎

‎Summary This volume brings together a number of texts that shed light on life in the Abbey of Saint Victor in Paris, from its ideals to its daily routine. The Liber ordinis builds a framework and ideal vision for life at the Abbey of Saint Victor. Richard's De quaestionibus, Hugh's De institutione novitiorum, the letters of Odo, William of Æbelholt's Vita, and the other documents translated here reflect the spirit of Victorine reform. Its central theme was the vita apostolica, with its emphasis on sharing resources and living in a community. By incorporating prayer, pastoral care, moral discipline, and education, the Victorines believed their lifestyle would help to reform the greater Christian world that was so in need of restoration to the image in which God had created it. Many of the texts gathered here are translated into English for the first time, and are an invaluable resource for the study of the Abbey of Saint Victor, twelfth-century church reform, and medieval spirituality.

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, lxxii + 154 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Illustrations:13 b/w, 20 tables b/w., Language(s):Latin, Italian. ISBN 9782503589985.‎

‎Summary Le poche notizie che si hanno sulla vita e i miracoli di Rosa da Viterbo, la fanciulla nata attorno al 1233 e morta nel 1251 o 1252, che diede testimonianze della sua fede al tempo di Federico II, sono note da tempo. Tutti coloro che hanno scritto di Rosa da Viterbo hanno attinto, direttamente o più spesso indirettamente, dal verbale del processo di canonizzazione svoltosi a Viterbo al tempo di papa Callisto III, a distanza di due secoli e poco più dalla morte della beata. Questa fonte però non è conosciuta in maniera scientifica. Gli atti del processo di canonizzazione del 1457 non sono mai stati pubblicati. La Vita che vi è contenuta fu pubblicata (piuttosto malamente) per la prima volta nel 1742 dal canonico viterbese Feliciano Bussi nella sua Istoria della Città di Viterbo. Migliore, naturalmente, ma perfettibile è l'edizione che della Vita e dei Miracula fecero nel 1868 i padri Bollandisti nei loro Acta Sanctorum. Nel 1952 pubblicò ottimamente la Vita Giuseppe Abate. Infine, la Vita e i Miracula di Rosa hanno fatto oggetto del primo anno di attività (2016-2017) del Laboratorio di agiografia (sottotitolo: Filologia, edizione, interpretazione delle fonti) aggregato alla Scuola superiore di studi medievali e francescani della Pontificia Università Antonianum, ed è stato pubblicato un volume che riproduce il lavoro seminariale. Della Vita e dei miracoli di Rosa si hanno, però, altri due altri testimoni, uno conservato a Parigi e uno a Parma, certamente legati al processo. Questa edizione si basa per la prima volta sul trattamento contestuale di tutti i prodotti documentari e librari ad oggi connessi all'iniziativa del 1456-57.‎

‎Summary Surgida en la remota Antigüedad, la leyenda de los signa iudicii ha permeado tradiciones y pueblos, culturas y religiones diversas, durante siglos. En todo ese tiempo, esta relación de signos que precederán al fin del mundo ha sufrido variada suerte, desde la gran productividad que presentó durante los albores de la apocalíptica, con un primitivo catálogo de siete señales ampliado paulatinamente, pasando por un uso pragmático y proselitista durante el período medieval, hasta su eclipse con la llegada del racionalismo epistemológico. Se trata de un repertorio de señales escatológicas de amplia naturaleza (atmosférica, legendaria, geológica, espiritual) que buscaba impactar en el imaginario social y colectivo a través de lo que hemos denominado factor miedo. La materia tuvo inmensa repercusión en las tradiciones gaélica, anglosajona o latina, y la recogen desde autores como Lactancio, Orígenes o Comodiano, hasta el mismo Agustín de Hipona. Posteriormente, su difusión fue dilatada, primero a través de varios teóricos y exégetas del cristianismo durante los siglos X, XI y XII, y más tarde de mano de los autores en lenguas vernáculas occidentales. A partir del siglo XIII se introduce en la Península Ibérica, inaugurándose con un texto que Gonzalo de Berceo dedicó a los muy grandes signos ante [...] del Judicio cabdal. Paralelamente a las versiones cristianas, destaca la incidencia que la materia tuvo entre varios autores musulmanes peninsulares a lo largo de los siglos.

‎Lest She Pollute the Sanctuary'. The Influence of the Protevangelium Iacobi on Women's Status in Christianity‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, x + 243 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 1 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503590363.‎

‎Summary This work explores a second-century text, the Protevangelium Iacobi, and, by examining current scholarship on the subject, assesses the way it has influenced the Christian perception of women and the ordering of their lives through the centuries down to the present day. It demonstrates how Mary, as she is presented in this text with extreme and unreal emphasis on her purity, has been held up as an unattainable model for all Christian women and takes as a case study the lives of contemplative women in the Roman Catholic church, showing how the image of Mary impossibly secluded in the temple has been partly responsible for their enclosure. By exploring the way female biological processes have been allowed to intrude on the sacred, tracing this influence from the Old Testament, through this text and its connection with Mary to the present day, it argues that this has been a significant factor in the denial of presbyteral ordination to women in some Christian churches. One of the original features of this work is the tracing of art work depicting scenes from the text across the Christian world, thus demonstrating the breadth of its influence, right down to New Age writings today. TABLE OF CONTENTS Part I: Questions of Influence Chapter 1: Prolegomena: Locating ourselves and our Questions and the Protevangelium Jacobi: 'Joachim searched the records of the twelve tribes of Israel' Chapter 2: Introducing the Protevangelium Jacobi: authorship, genre, provenance, dating, sources, purpose: 'All the while, I was glorifying God who gave me the wisdom to write this history.' Part II: Aspects of Influence Chapter 3: The Influence of the Protevangelium on Mariology and Asceticism: 'A virgin has given birth!' Chapter 4: The Influence of the Protevangelium on the Concept of [Woman in the] Sacred Space: 'her heart will never be led away from the temple of the Lord' Chapter 5: The Influence of the Protevangelium on Concepts of Ritual Purity: 'lest she defile the sanctuary of the Lord' Part III: Means of Influence Chapter 6: The Influence of the Protevangelium on the Sanctoral Cycle of the Church's Liturgy: 'thou shall not walk on this earth until I bring thee into the Temple of the Lord'. Chapter 7: The Influence of the Protevangelium on the Artistic and Iconographic Tradition: 'he set her down on the third step of the altar and she danced with her feet?' Conclusion: Consequences of Influence: Chapter 8: The Influence of the Protevangelium Jacobi on the lives of women: 'Anna, you will conceive and give birth, and your child will be talked about all over the world.' Appendix I: The Influence of the Protevangelium on the Cult of Mary in the martyrological tradition: 'and the Lord God poured grace upon her?and every house in Israel loved her.' Appendix II: The Influence of the Protevangelium on the Popular Cult of Mary: 'your child will be talked about all over the world.'‎

‎Summary Das Speculum universale des Radulfus Ardens (? um 1200) ist die umfangreichste systematische Gesamtdarstellung der theologischen Ethik im 12. Jahrhundert. Während in den frühscholastischen Sentenzensummen die Tugenden vor allem als Resultat der Gnade Gottes verstanden werden, thematisiert sie Radulfus Ardens - auf der Linie der Schüler des Gilbert von Poitiers - ausführlich auch von der Seite des Menschen und seiner Eigenwirklichkeit her. In den Büchern 1-5, die eine allgemeine Tugendlehre beinhalten, stellt Radulfus Ardens zunächst den Prozess dar, in dem sich die Tugenden und Laster ausgehend von den Gedanken und ersten Regungen der Seelenvermögen entwickeln. Dabei werden auch die äußeren, naturalen oder sozialen Bedingungen und Einflüsse zur Sprache gebracht, die diese Entwicklung fördern oder hemmen. In den Büchern 7-14 - im Sinne einer speziellen Tugendlehre - auf der Basis der verschiedenen Seelenvermögen eine höchst differenzierte und originelle Untergliederung der Tugenden, in der er alle damals wesentlichen Themen der konkreten Ethik eingehend behandelt. Der nun vorliegende zweite Band der Edition hat die Bücher 7-10 mit den diskretiven Tugenden zum Inhalt. TABLE OF CONTENTS Radulfus Ardens - Speculum universale (libri VII-X) - ed. C. Heimann, S.

‎Distinctiones Abel, I‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, 550 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Illustrations:4 col., Languages: Latin, English. ISBN 9782503578057.‎

‎Summary Peter the Chanter's Distinctiones Abel displays the multiple senses of some eleven hundred biblical terms and arranges the terms in alphabetical order. Preserved in nearly ninety manuscript copies, it stands at the head of a series of similar aids for preachers and students of the Bible. Its immediate context is the practice of "distinguishing" the senses of terms in a biblical text as the backbone of a sermon, a novel practice employed by several masters of the late twelfth century, notably by Peter's colleague in Paris, Peter Comestor. The Distinctiones Abel was compiled in an age of organization and may be compared with such searchable reference works as Gratian's Decretum, the Glosa Ordinaria, the new Latin dictionaries, and Peter Lombard's Sentences. It is among the first scholarly works to use the alphabet as a technique of information retrieval. Only selections of the work have been printed before; this editio princeps will be of interest to intellectual historians and those interested in medieval biblical studies, homiletics, popular imagery, and allegory. The Introduction itself is a major work of scholarship in a new field. It includes a brief account of Peter the Chanter's life and work, a survey of the genre 'distinctiones,' an extensive desciption of the manuscripts, many of them treated in print for the first time, along with a thorough exposition of the sophisticated methodology of textual criticism employed.‎

‎Summary In the twelfth century, a widely circulated hypothesis about the descendants of St Anne, mother of the Virgin, included the idea that Salome, the mother of the disciples James and John, was in fact a man and St Anne's third husband. Two scholars mounted a challenge: Maurice of Kirkham, prior of the Augustinian abbey of Kirkham in Yorkshire; and Herbert of Bosham, a former student of Peter Lombard and a companion of Thomas Becket. Both men employed scholastic methods of enquiry and knowledge of Hebrew; both decried the acceptance of a flawed hypothesis about the genealogy of the Virgin as symbolic of an uncritical acceptance of scholastic authorities with the potential to distort comprehension of the Gospels. This volume provides the first edition and translation of Maurice's Contra Salomitas, in both its short and long versions. It also provides an edition and translation of Herbert's letter to Henry, count of Champagne. A substantial introduction outlines the long evolution of the debate about the kin of Jesus, and situates Maurice and Herbert in the context of their twelfth-century scholastic milieu.

‎Summary Todos los autores citados escribieron en al-Andalus, esto es, en la Hispania sometida a la dominación árabe. Su obra es muy interesante por estar sujeta a tendencias ántagónicas. Por un lado, constituye una respuesta, incluso exacerbada, a los retos que plantaeaba a la comunidad cristiana andalusí la brillantísima cultura de la Córdoba califal, dando cauce literario a un conflicto religioso que acabó de manera sangrienta en la era de los mártires voluntarios. Por otro, supone un intento, a veces también llevado al límite, por mantenerse firme frente a las exigencias de los reinos cristianos, extremando la postura en cuestiones teológicas: así surgió la herejía adopcionista. En ese mundo, hostil por ambos lados, la literatura mozárabe se caracteriza por su tradicionalismo a ultranza, que se traduce en un respeto y fidelidad inquebrantables a las formas y contenidos de un mundo ideal ya periclitado (el reino visigodo).

‎Summary Eimerico di Campo, maestro di arti e teologia, attivo a Colonia e Lovanio fra gli anni Venti e gli anni Cinquanta del XV secolo, è autore di numerose opere filosofiche e teologiche, la cui rilevanza teorica e storica è stata messa in luce da studiosi come Meersseman, Colomer, Korolec, Cavigioli, Kaluza, Imbach e Hoenen, che hanno soprattutto richiamato l'attenzione sulla sua ripresa di motivi albertisti e lulliani, nonché sui suoi rapporti, personali e intellettuali, con Cusano. Se si eccettua un fondamentale contributo di Imbach, relativamente poco studiata resta però una delle più singolari opere di Eimerico: il Centheologicon che, in 101 capitoli dedicati ciascuno a una diversa forma di teologia, presenta i molteplici modi di conoscere Dio. L'opera è rilevante non solo per la storia della teologia, ma anche per la storia della filosofia tardo medievale: oltre a presentarvi la teologia divina (conoscenza perfetta che Dio ha di se stesso) e angelica, Eimerico analizza innumerevoli forme di teologia umana, soffermandosi da un lato sulle teologie 'naturali' proposte dalle varie scuole filosofiche antiche, dall'altro sulla teologia ignoranter docta, coniecturaliter unitrina e geometrica di Cusano. Del Centheologicon, conservato da un unico manoscritto (Bibliothèque Royale de Bruxelles, ms. 11571-75, ff. 1va-74vb), è stato pubblicato sinora soltanto qualche capitolo. Il presente lavoro costituisce la prima edizione completa del testo, che compare dopo diversi anni di revisioni e di studio dovuti alla complessità sintattica e lessicale del latino dell'autore, oltre che alla sorprendente pluralità di fonti, nella maggior parte dei casi non dichiarate, da ricercare.

‎Summary The question of personality is a problematic one, beset by complications of cultural distance, the layers of the past, and the limitations of the source material. Recognising these difficulties, this volume draws together character sketches based upon historical narratives and a range of sources, including architecture, liturgical manuscripts, chronicles, and hagiographical material, to show a multifaceted range of means by which historians can construct, reconstruct, and deconstruct episcopal power through the person of the bishop. Building on a previous volume of essays, Episcopal Power and Local Society in Medieval Europe, 900-1400, which examined the construction, augmentation, and expression of episcopal power in local society, this second volume seeks to uncover the impact of the personalities behind that power. Through essays dealing with the construction of cultural and political personalities, the shadows they cast, and the contexts that forged them, this volume brings to life the careers of bishops across medieval Europe from c. 900 to c. 1480. This geographical range and broad time span throws up the similarity in applications and benefits of interdisciplinarity which can be applied to ecclesiastical history, and presents a fascinating range of case studies for consideration.

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 208 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English.*new ISBN 9782503583914.‎

‎Summary The De corpore et sanguine Domini by Paschasius Radbertus was the first monograph ever written solely on the Eucharist. This English translation of the De corpore, along with its companion piece the Letter to Fredugard, make an important contribution to our understanding of the development of Eucharistic theology in the Carolingian era and after. Because of their place in history and the nature of their doctrine, these works give an important witness to the received tradition on the Eucharist, as well as demonstrate an early substantial change theory that contributed to the development of the doctrine of transubstantiation. The translation, along with its extensive commentary and notes, makes this volume in the Corpus Christianorum in Translation series an important resource for the study of Eucharistic theology. The source text of this volume appeared in Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Mediaeualis as Pascasius Radbertus, De corpore et sanguine Domini, cum appendice Epistola ad Fredugardum (CC CM, 16). References to the corresponding pages of the Corpus Christianorum edition are provided in the margins of this translation.

‎Carmina, De imagine‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, clvii + 201 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Illustrations:5 col., Languages: English, Latin, Greek. ISBN 9782503551746.‎

‎Summary John Scottus Eriugena's Carmina reflect not only his central philosophical and theological ideas, but also his literary education and his life at the court of Charles the Bald. This corpus of Eriugena's poetry includes recent discoveries of new items. Works laid under contribution by the poet have also been expanded. De Imagine represents the Latin translation of Gregory of Nyssa's treatise on the creation of man (De opificio hominis), a text that had already attracted the attention of Dionysius Exiguus in the sixth century. Probably a juvenile work, it witnesses to Eriugena's interests for translating Greek texts and in this respect can be paralleled to major texts like the translation of Maximus the Confessor and of Dionysius the Areopagite. Moreover, large portions of the text were paraphrased or directly employed in the Periphyseon and, later on, were used by William of St Thierry in his De natura corporis et animae. This new critical edition is based on the collation of the two extant manuscripts, compared against the Greek text, and is accompanied by a source apparatus that also highlights the reprises in Periphyseon and the parallel passages in De natura corporis. The introduction outlines the contents of the work, situating De imagine in Eriugena's speculation, and offers a thorough reconstruction of the manuscript tradition, which also includes the thorny question of the Greek exemplar employed by Eriugena.

‎Summary Par quels mécanismes notre volonté, nos désirs, nos affects, influencent-ils nos croyances ? Sommes-nous libres de croire ce que nous voulons, même ce dont nous n'avons aucune preuve ? Et si nous le sommes, comment garantir que nous ne croyions pas au hasard, au gré de notre fantaisie ? Y a-t-il des raisons morales objectives de croire ce que nous ne pouvons savoir ? Le présent ouvrage a pour ambition de trouver réponse à ces questions dans les oeuvres académiques, notamment les commentaires des Sentences, de certains des penseurs les plus importants de l'âge d'or de la scolastique médiévale : Alexandre de Halès, Bonaventure, Thomas d'Aquin, Henri de Gand, Godefroid de Fontaines, Pierre de Jean Olivi et Jean Duns Scot. Si les questions posées ne sont pas toujours celles que les médiévaux ont affrontées, leur traitement de la notion de foi et des problèmes philosophiques et théologiques qui lui sont associés leur donne l'occasion d'y apporter des éléments de réponse significatifs pour l'histoire de la pensée occidentale. C'est à la mise au jour de ces éléments que ce livre est consacré. Il démontre l'existence de deux grands mouvements de pensée qui convergent vers un volontarisme doxastique de plus en plus marqué, accompagné d'un retrait croissant des ressorts surnaturels dans l'explication des croyances humaines. Ce livre a été distingué par la mention honorable du Prix international Thomas Ricklin. Il constitue une version enrichie et approfondie de la thèse de doctorat de l'auteur, qui a été récompensée par le prix solennel Aguirre-Basualdo de la Chancellerie des Universités de Paris.

‎Summary La legge naturale rappresenta un elemento centrale nello sviluppo della cultura del medioevo latino. Frutto della rilettura di un'antica tradizione stoica e del diritto romano alla luce di alcuni passi della Scrittura, in particolare del capitolo secondo dell'Epistola ai Romani di Paolo, questa idea diviene uno dei pilastri del discorso giuridico, politico e teologico a partire dal XII secolo. Il volume ricostruisce le forme molteplici nelle quali la legge di natura viene affrontata da canonisti e civilisti, esegeti e teologi in un contesto nel quale prende forma la grande cultura scolastica e inizia a muovere i primi passi l'istituzione universitaria. Lo studio mostra come questi molteplici orientamenti dialogano fra loro e al tempo stesso rispondono ad un quadro storico e religioso particolarmente vivace e magmatico, segnato dalla costruzione della monarchia papale, dal tentativo di definire una ideologia imperiale di portata universale e dall'emergere delle monarchie europee, a partire da quella francese. Un panorama variegato nel quale gli scritti di Abelardo, dei maestri di Laon, dei Vittorini e dei maestri di Chartres, assieme a quelli di Graziano e dei canonisti, e successivamente di maestri parigini come Langton, Giovanni de La Rochelle e Alberto Magno fissano i termini di un lessico, il perimetro di una discussione destinata ad essere ripresa e ridefinita nei decenni successivi e declinata in forme molteplici non solo lungo i secoli del Medioevo ma anche lungo tutta l'età moderna.

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, x + 141 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Languages: English, Latin. ISBN 9782503584232.‎

‎Summary The first book of Macrobius' Saturnalia, written probably in the 430s AD, includes a historical exposition of the Roman calendar with a dramatic date some fifty years earlier, set in the mouth of the learned senator Vettius Agorius Praetextatus, followed by more technical detail at the request of an Egyptian named Horus, who as a foreigner is allowed to seek elementary information for which no one brought up in Roman culture would need to ask. This text was excerpted in early medieval Ireland, with some but by no means all its pagan matter excised, to provide an introduction for those who at best understood the rules of this recent import but not the rationale for them; it is quoted by Bede as Disputatio Chori et Praetextati, Chorus being a corrupted form of Horus. The excerpt took on a textual life of its own, which the present edition, the first devoted to the Disputatio rather than Macrobius, seeks to clarify; it examines the manuscripts and the relations between them, presents a critical edition with apparatus criticus and translation, and attaches a full-scale commentary concerned above all with the information provided in the text.‎

‎Summary Concentrating on the period of the emergence of the vernaculars in the context of religious text production in Central and Eastern Central Europe from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries, the individual studies in this volume present material so far neglected by nationally defined historiographies and literary studies. The process of vernacularization created a new sociolinguistic field for the negotiation of social order through the choice of texts and topics. This volume seeks to answer the questions of whether, why and how distinctive new communicative, literary, and political cultures developed after the vernacular languages had acquired ever higher levels of literacy and education. The volume fills a gap in contemporary scholarship on the role of the vernaculars and vernacular literatures in European medieval societies and with the focus on Eastern European regions it breaks new ground in regard to questions that have so far only been explored on the basis of material from Europe's 'West'.

‎, Brepols, 2025 Paperback, 237 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language(s):English, Italian. *new ISBN 9782503614281.‎

‎Summary The Dominican master par excellence of the historical method, Pierre Mandonnet (1858-1936) came to Dante as one of the leading Thomists and medievalists of his generation. However, his monograph Dante le théologien (1935) was neglected and largely forgotten, mainly as a result of the lay historian Étienne Gilson's book-length refutation in Dante et la philosophie (1939). This new edition, and the first English translation, re-presents Mandonnet's erudite and thought-provoking monograph to contemporary scholars and Dante enthusiasts. It includes a critical introduction that situates Mandonnet's work in relation to prevailing currents of Dante scholarship in the early twentieth-century, and outlines how it might invite a reappraisal of central features of Dante's thought today. Mandonnet's historically-informed account of Dante the theologian as a preacher, doctrinarian, and distinctively medieval poet, as well as his sophisticated analysis of the theological purpose, method, and content of the Commedia will be an invaluable resource for anyone who seeks to understand Dante's works and their highly contested reception history.

‎Summary On the Virgin Birth and On the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary are two key Mariological treatises by the ninth-century Carolingian theologian Paschasius Radbertus. Written at a time when scholarship and erudition during the Carolingian Renaissance were at their height and prominence in the great monastery of Corbie, these two works offer important insights into ninth-century reception of the doctrines of Mary's perpetual virginity and her assumption into heaven. Written for the nuns of the monastery of Notre-Dame de Soissons, they also provide important source material for the study of female spirituality during the Carolingian Reformation era. This work presents for the first time an English translation with introduction and commentary of these texts, based on the critical editions found in Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Mediaevalis?(CC CM, 56C). References to the corresponding pages of the Corpus Christianorum edition are provided in the margins of this translation.

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2025 Hardback, Pages: xxix + 500 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Language(s):Latin, English. *new. ISBN 9782503617367.‎

‎This is the first critical edition of a major theological work by a Cistercian from a medieval university: the questions on book I of the Sentences by James of Eltville (Jacobus de Altavilla, d. 1392), monk and later abbot of the majestic Eberbach Abbey, the filming location of many of the scenes in The Name of the Rose. The product of bachelor lectures delivered in 1369-1370 at the magnificent Bernardins in Paris just south of Notre-Dame across the Seine, James' Lectura in libros Sententiarum survives in almost two dozen manuscripts. Based on a complete collation of all the witnesses, the editio princeps provides access to a text that illuminates a relatively dark period in the history of scholasticism, portrays the status quaestionis on many issues in philosophical theology between the Black Death and the Great Schism, and illustrates the importance of later-medieval Cistercian theologians and their symbiotic relationship with the Augustinian Hermits who dominated the field from the 1330s to the 1370s. Through the exodus of German scholars from Paris after the outbreak of the Schism, James of Eltville's ideas spread to the new faculties of theology founded in Germanic lands where they exerted a profound influence. This is the second of three volumes. TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE INTRODUCTION I. Sigla of the Manuscripts II. Ratio edendi III. Tabula quaestionum for the Present Volume IV.
