‎Hermann, von 1220 bis 1240 Custos der Benediktinerabtei Werden bei Essen, hat in annahernd 10.000 Versen die biblischen Proverbia Salomonis metrifiziert. Sein Werk gehort zu der erst ansatzweise erforschten Gattung der Bibeldichtungen aus der Zeit von etwa 1150 bis 1230, wie sie Laurentius von Durham, Petrus Riga, Aegidius von Paris, Alexander von Ashby und Leonius verfassten. Auszuge aus dem Hortus deliciarum publizierte Jean Baptiste Pitra im Spicilegium Solesmense (1855), nannte jedoch nicht die von ihm benutzten Handschriften. Zwei Codices der seit 1855 verschollenen Dichtung wurden von dem Herausgeber vor 20 Jahren in Bruxelles und Den Haag wiederentdeckt. Hermann hat in der ein Jahr nach der Ermordung des Kolner Erzbischofs Engelbert (1225) verfassten Dichtung den Proverbiakommentar des Beda Venerabilis intensiv genutzt und dessen gegen die Haretiker gerichtete Exegese aktualisiert. Poetische Vorbilder sind vor allem der in kurzester Zeit zum Klassiker avancierte Petrus Riga, dem Hermann auch in der Wahl des Metrums folgt, und Walter von Chatillon, daneben viele antike und mittelalterliche Autoren. Das Werk ist von grosser sprachlicher Sicherheit und virtuoser Beherrschung rhetorischer Stilmittel gepragt. Seine Lekture verspricht dem Theologen, Kunsthistoriker, Historiker und Literaturwissenschaftler einen aufschlussreichen Zugang zur moralisch-allegorischen Exegese der Proverbia.

‎Rabanus Maurus (780-856), a monk and then abbot of Fulda, ended his career as archbishop of Mainz. Perhaps the most famous of his numerous works, the In honorem sanctae crucis (dated 810), better known traditionally since the Renaissance as De laudibus sanctae crucis, consists of a remarkable series of 28 carmina figurata glorifying the holy cross. Rabanus thus followed the Constantinian poet Porphyrius Optatianus, and also, but more discretely, some poems composed on this theme by Venantius Fortunatus. But from the outset he went further than his predecessors. Indeed, he did not compose a few isolated poems but a unified cycle. And the degree of complexity achieved by Rabanus in the tangle of versus intexti, of drawings, of each poem taken as a whole constitutes a kind of record for the genre that the Middle Ages did not surpass. The proposed edition follows the editio princeps of Jacques Wimpfeling (Pforzheim, 1503), the other editions (1605, 1627, and finally the Patrologia Latina) having been printed without recourse to the manuscripts. It consists of an introduction, the critical Latin text with the apparatus taking account of all of the ninth century manuscripts, and various annexes, which enable this difficult text to be read with the least inconvenience possible. There is a new French translation of the carmina figurata, explanatory notes of the carmina figurata and of their parallels, and several indexes. There is a colour reproduction of the carmina figurata as can be seen in the Vatican manuscript, Reginensis no 124. Languages: Latin.‎

‎Die geestelike brulocht is the Middle Dutch opus magnum of Jan van Ruusbroec (1293-1381), the Flemish mystic who lived in Brussels as priest at St.-Gudule church before retreating into the Foret de Soignes to become the first prior of the regular canon priory of Groenendaal. In the Brulocht Ruusbroec describes from experience the three stages of the mystical life, culminating in the contemplative life. First known in and around Brussels, and later throughout the Low Countries, Ruusbroec soon became renowned up to the foot of the Alps. The dissemination of Ruusbroec's texts was greatly enhanced by three early Latin translations of Willem Jordaens (? - 1372), a confrere at Groenendaal. His translation of Die geestelike brulocht in particular, as stylistically exuberant as it was accurate with regard to its mystical-theological content, gave Ruusbroec an immense stature. Willem Jordaens's De ornatu spiritualium nuptiarum was soon disseminated in Brabant, France, England and Italy, even reaching present-day Poland. This early distribution was, it seems, brought to a halt by repeated condemnations from c. 1400 on by the Paris chancellor Jean Gerson (1363-1429), the irony being that it was De ornatu that brought Ruusbroec's Geestelike brulocht to Gerson's attention. The value of the text was rediscovered by Jacques Lefevre d'Etaples, who, through the 1512 Paris edition of De ornatu by Henri Estienne, used it in the spread of Christian humanism in sixteenth-century France.

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2010 Hardback, LXXVII+805 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503534473.‎

‎Published in 2010, this Latin-Spanish lexicon, or more precisely Latin-Romance-Spanish, studies the vocabulary of historiographical and diplomatic texts written in the kingdom of Leon - with the exception of Galicia - between the eighth century and 1230, the date of the definitive union between the kingdoms of Leon and Castille. Each entry provides all the written variants of the term in question, its etymology, its meaning or meanings, numerous examples presented in relatively extended contexts, and thorough commentaries and linguistic and historical notes. As well as constituting an indispensable tool for anyone interested in the history of the kingdom of Leon, it also of wider interest, especially linguistic. Indeed, the texts analysed are written in a language that may be described as both 'Latino-Romance' and 'diplomatic medieval Latin' (Cf. Introduction, p. LXIII). Paru en 2010, ce lexique latin-espagnol, ou plus precisement latino-roman-espagnol, etudie le vocabulaire des textes historiographiques et surtout diplomatiques ecrits dans le royaume de Leon - a l'exception de la Galice ', entre le VIIIe siecle et 1230, date de l'union definitive entre les royaumes de Leon et de Castille. Chaque article fournit toutes les variantes graphiques du terme concerne, son etymologie, sa ou ses significations, de nombreux exemples, presentes dans des contextes relativement etendus, des commentaires et notes linguistiques et historiques developpes. Il s'agit d'un instrument de travail qui sera tres utile tant a l'historien qu'au linguiste. La inmensa mayoria de los paises de Europa Occidental han publicado o estan publicando su lexico latino-medieval, importantisimo para cualesquiera estudios medievales. En la Peninsula Iberica la elaboracion y publicacion de lexicos latino-medievales se encuentran en un estado incipiente. El Lexicon Latinitatis Medii Aevi Castellae et Legionis (LELMACEL) viene a completar ese vacio. Consiste en la elaboracion y redaccion de un diccionario latino-romance a partir de los textos escritos en latin, o mayoritariamente en latin, desde los comienzos de la Reconquista hasta 1230 en los territorios que pertenecieron a los reinos asturleones y castellano durante ese periodo. De dichos territorios se ha excluido la zona gallega y la portuguesa. El corpus del diccionario esta formado tanto por las obras mas o menos literarias, principalmente cronicas, como por los documentos notariales compuestos en esos dos reinos. Como particularidades del trabajo en el LELMACEL hay que destacar las siguientes: se trabaja sobre un corpus de textos mayoritariamente informatizado; en el estudio de los lemmata se procede por campos lexicos, no por orden alfabetico; se recogen todos los terminos del corpus base y todos sus significados. Sus entradas incluyen la siguiente informacion: todas las formas graficas del vocablo, reservando la mas frecuente para la entrada; etimologia; significado(s); ejemplos con suficiente contexto de cada uno de los valores del termino, recogiendo siempre el mas antiguo; indicacion del uso toponimico o antroponimico del vocablo con ejemplos; notas informativas, cuando sea preciso; iniciales del redactor de la entrada lexicografica.

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 1985 Hardback, CCCXXIV+128 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503011134.‎

‎The present volume contains the first critical edition of one of the treatises written by Isidore of Seville: the one modernly known as Liber de differentiis II, the first chapter of which is Inter Deum et Dominum. The work is offered here in the form that it is supposed to have had at the beginning of the seventh century, this is to say, separate from the book known as Liber de differentiis I (the first entry of which is Inter caelum et aethera according to the edition prepared by C. Codoner, Paris, 1992), and with which it seems not to have borne any immediate sequential relation in its origin, either in content or chronology. For the new establishment of the text, the editor has examined more than one hundred manuscripts from the eigtht to the sixteenth century, of which she has retained thirty three in the critical apparatus, all of them prior to the eleventh century. The text is therefore divided not into the traditional forty entries (cfr PL 83, 69-98), but into forty one. The editor also points out several fragments and chapters that were added to the original writing (this edition provides the reader with an appendix concerning the numbering of the text in chapters). The Latin text is preceded by an introduction divided into three sections (literary, linguistic and critical study). Since scholarly studies about this treatise were almost completely lacking, numerous aspects relative to its form, content and structure are clarified here. Le present volume contient la premiere edition critique du traite d'Isidore de Seville connu des nos jours comme Liber de differentiis II, dont la premiere entree est Inter Deum et Dominum. L'oeuvre est presentee comme elle a du circuler au debut du VIIe siecle, c'est-a-dire, separee du texte connu comme Liber de differentiis I, dont la premiere entree est Inter caelum et aethera selon l'edition de C. Codoner (ALMA, Paris, 1992), et avec lequel elle parait n'avoir garde dans son origine aucune relation de sequence immediate, ni dans son contenu ni dans sa chronologie. Pour le nouvel etablissement du texte, l'editrice a examine plus de cent manuscrits du VIIIe au XVIe siecles, parmi lesquels elle a retenu dans l'apparat critique le temoignage de trente-trois, tous anterieurs au XIe siecle. On trouve ainsi une oeuvre divisee en quarante et une entrees, non les quarante traditionnelles (cf. PL 83, 69-98), expurgee maintenant de plusieurs fragments et de chapitres posterieurs a la redaction originale (l'edition offre un appendice sur la numerotation dans lequel on detaille cet aspect de l'histoire du texte). Le texte latin est precede par une vaste introduction divisee en trois parties (etude litteraire, linguistique et critique), dans laquelle l'editrice clarifie de nombreux aspects relatifs au contenu et a la structure de cette oeuvre, sur laquelle on manquait presque completement d'etudes scientifiques. Este libro es la primera edicion critica del tratado de Isidoro de Sevilla conocido modernamente como De differentiis II, cuya primera entrada es Inter Deum et Dominum. La obra se presenta tal y como debio de circular a comienzos del siglo VII, esto es, separada del conocido como libro I, cuya primera entrada es Inter caelum et aethera segun la edicion de C. Codoner (ALMA, Paris, 1992), y con el que parece no haber guardado en su origen ninguna relacion de secuencia inmediata, ni en su contenido ni en su cronologia. Para el nuevo establecimiento del texto, la editora ha examinado mas de cien manuscritos de entre los siglos VIII y XVI, de los cuales ha retenido en el aparato critico el testimonio de treinta y tres, todos ellos anteriores al siglo XI. Se recontruye asi una obra dividida en cuarenta y una entradas, no en las tradicionales cuarenta (cfr PL 83, 69-98), expurgada ahora de varios fragmentos y capitulos posteriores a la redaccion original (la edicion cuenta con un apendice sobre la numeracion del texto en capitulos en la que se detalla este aspecto de su historia). El texto latino esta precedido por una amplia introduccion dividida en tres apartados (estudio literario, linguistico y critico), en los que se aclaran numerosos aspectos relativos a la forma, contenido y estructura de esta obra, acerca de la cual se carecia casi completamente de estudios cientificos.

‎This edition renders the text of the Ghent manuscript in its final corrected form. The apparatus criticus contains the variant readings of the other early manuscripts. The great novelty is the apparatus correctionum: here all corrections in the Ghent manuscript are painstakingly noted with their extent, the technique used, the identification of the corrector and whenever possible, the text of the original, deleted version. The apparatus fontium, finally, identifies all of Hildegard's sources. The extensive introduction contains original studies by Peter Dronke (who also compiled the apparatus fontium) on the place of the LDO in the work of Hildegard, its originality, meaning and structure. Albert Derolez, who established the text and who is the author of the two other apparatuses provides a detailed analysis of the manuscripts, with special focus on the Ghent codex and its genesis and explains the edition technique adopted.

‎The Liber pontificalis ecclesiae Ravennatis is written by Andreas Agnellus in the early ninth century. The text consists of introductory verses and a prologue, followed by a series of Lives of the forty-six bishops of Ravenna from the founding of the church of Ravenna by St. Apolenaris, supposedly a disciple of St. Peter, to Agnellus' own day. The introduction includes the following sections: 'I. Background'; 'II. The Text and its Sources', and 'III. Manuscripts, History of the Text, and Editions'. There are also two appendices: 'Animadversiones in seriem archiepiscoporum ecclesiae Ravennatis' and 'Descriptio nominum ecclesiarum et locorum in LPR laudatorum'. The Liber pontificalis ecclesiae Ravennatis is an essential source for the study of Italian history from the fourth to the ninth centuries. Agnellus seems to have been a well-born priest in the church of Ravenna, and his work is strongly colored by his personal experiences. He wrote it to demonstrate two strongly-held opinions. One of these was the apostolicity and independence of the Ravennate archbishopric; the other was the moral decline of recent bishops, and their erosion of clerical rights. Using the framework of a series of biographies of the bishops of his see, he presents his highly idiosyncratic view of history. The work is full of anecdotes, miracle stories, and mini-sermons, as well as information about historical events and artistic and architectural patronage, all of which have made it an invaluable source to scholars who study early medieval Italy.

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2004 Hardback, 832 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503512655.‎

‎Composed in about the year 725, the Liber Questionum in Euangeliis (LQE) is a comprehensive reference commentary on Matthew intended for ecclesiastics in the writing, teaching, and preaching professions. Its anonymous Irish redactor gathered together all the relevant patristic and native material available, adding to and adapting much of a still largely unpublished commentary on Matthew by the Hiberno-Latin writer Frigulus (fl. ca. 700). LQE's well-attested manuscript tradition and its far-flung exegetical influence make it one of the more intriguing texts to appear in the Scriptores Celtigenae series. Although LQE's origins are in Ireland (and one Irish fragment still survives), its manuscript families also include witnesses from England and the Continent. Not only is LQE a typical product of the early Irish church, but its considerable length, the variety of its sources, and its influence on later writers further reveal the work to be central to the entire early medieval Gospel commentary tradition. In addition to exegetes in England, the Carolingian writers Haimo of Auxerre (ob. 853), Rhabanus Maurus of Fulda (780-865), and especially Paschasius Radbertus of Corbie (ob. ca. 865) adapted it for their own works on Matthew. Rittmueller's painstakingly researched edition and introduction will serve as an invaluable resource in early medieval Biblical studies for decades to come. Languages: Latin.‎

Surviving complete in a single manuscript, and in burnt fragments of another, it is here edited for the first time. Although the work is explicitly based upon the ninth-century commentary by Paschasius, it is enriched by William's own wide and deep reading of the Bible, the Fathers and the Latin Classics.

‎Au sein du corpus des apocryphes chretiens, l'histoire de la naissance et de la jeunesse de Marie est l'une des traditions les plus connues et les plus profondement ancrees dans la memoire chretienne, tant en Orient qu'en Occident. Cette tradition a sa source dans le Protevangile de Jacques, un ecrit grec datant probablement de la fin du IIe siecle. Dans le monde occidental, la matiere du recit a ete largement diffusee, mais sous des formes remaniees. L'ouvrage qui suit est consacre aux deux textes latins qui ont le plus contribue au succes de l'histoire des premieres annees de la vie de Marie durant le moyen age. Le plus ancien est habituellement appele 'Evangile du Pseudo-Matthieu', selon l'intitule que lui a donne C. Tischendorf. Pour des raisons de commodite, l'appelation conventionnelle de Pseudo-Matthieu a ete conservee, bien que l'attribution de l'ouvrage a l'evangeliste Matthieu soit le fait d'une etape secondaire de la tradition et que le titre primitif ait probablement ete 'Nativite de Marie'. Sa composition est a placer entre le milieu du VIe et la fin du VIIIe siecle et remonte probablement au premier quart du VIIe siecle. Le second ouvrage est un remaniement du Pseudo-Matthieu, intitule Libellus de nativitate sanctae Mariae ou De Navitate Mariae; il a vu le jour probablement apres 868 et certainement avant la debut du XIe siecle. Le present ouvrage commence par une introduction generale, due a Rita Beyers. Elle replace les deux textes edites dans l'evolution de la pensee et de la devotion mariales en Occident. Elle retrace aussi dans les grandes lignes l'influence qu'ils ont exercee sur la production litteraire occidentale jusqu'au milieu du XIIIe siecle, tant en latin que dans les langues vernaculaires. La suite du premier tome, consacre au Pseudo-Matthieu, a pour auteur Jan Gijsel, et le second tome, qui traite du De Nativitate Mariae, est l'oeuvre de Rita Beyers. Languages: French.‎
