Hardback, X+324 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503520780. This volume contains tranlations of four lively and eventful lives recorded by the Dominican hagiographer Thomas of Cantimpre (c. 1200-c. 1270). The Dominican Thomas of Cantimpre (c. 1200-c. 1270) was a key figure in the 'evangelical awakening' of the thirteenth century. A prolific hagiographer, he lauded such diverse subjects as the abbot and apostolic preacher John of Cantimpre; the teenage saint Margaret of Ypres, an urban recluse who died at 21; Lutgard of Aywieres, a Cistercian nun and mystic; and the theatrical, mentally troubled Christina 'the Astonishing' of St-Trond. Thomas had few peers in portraying the ritual theatre of penance. He gives us such memorable scenes as a naked moneylender led out of a pit by a rope, a formerly rapacious prince kissing his peasants? feet as he restores their stolen goods, St Christina leaping into fires and boiling cauldrons to save souls in purgatory, and the deceased Pope Innocent III in agony, begging St Lutgard for her prayers. In this volume readers will find all four lively and eventful lives between the same covers for the first time. The Life of Abbot John of Cantimpre has been newly translated by Barbara Newman, who has also supplied a new introduction. The other three Lives are reprinted from Margot H. King's Peregrina Translations Series. Languages : English, Latin.
Paperback, 585 p., 12,5 x 19. ISBN 9782503531137. Thomas More s'exerca au dialogue en traduisant du grec ceux de Lucien, publies a Paris des 1506 dans un recueil ou il a Erasme pour emule. Il frequenta evidemment ceux de Platon, de Ciceron, et de saint Gregoire le Grand. En 1516 l'Utopie le revela comme un virtuose du genre. En 1529 il publia A Dialogue Concerning Heresies, premier des sept ouvrages en langue anglaise ou il combat l'heresie et tente de freiner la revolution dans l'Etat. Le Dialogue du reconfort, compose en prison, ne put paraitre qu'apres l'avenement d'une reine catholique, Mary, en 1553. Une longue lettre d'aout 1534, ou Margaret Roper raconte a sa belle-soeur Alice un long entretien qu'elle a eu avec leur pere, est souvent appelee Dialogue of Counsel : le prisonnier en est le principal interlocuteur, comme l'est l'oncle Antoine dans le Dialogue of Comfort. En avril 1534 More etait occupe a ecrire des pages qui demontrent, en s'appuyant sur les Peres grecs et latins, que la foi en la presence reelle du Christ dans l'Eucharistie est aussi ancienne que l'Eglise. Les editions patristiques lui faisant defaut en prison, il ne pouvait terminer cette etude. En revanche, l'ecrivain-ne qu'il etait mit a profit l'epreuve multiple de la captivite pour explorer les tresors accumules depuis un demi-siecle dans sa memoire fidele, et pour remonter a la source de tout reconfort. More n'envisage pas un dossier exhaustif concernant la tribulation et le reconfort ; un tel propos s'accorderait mal, du reste, avec le genre litteraire du dialogue. La Bible est neanmoins presente ici, de la Genese a l'Apocalypse, par des centaines d'emprunts, dont plus de cinquante au seul psautier, que l'auteur sait par coeur pour en avoir recite des pages tous les jours. More a rumine et vecu la ?« bonne nouvelle ?», en chretien ?« catholique ?», in medio Ecclesiae, sachant que l'echelle de Jacob descend du ciel jusqu'aux berges de la Tamise, jusqu'a celles du Danube : son Dialogue a pour cadre la Hongrie en partie annexee par le Turc ottoman. L'Evangile se trouve pleinement ?« acculture ?» dans son ouvrage, ou les livres inspires jouxtent Platon et Galien, Ciceron et Pline, Juvenal et Martial, Esope et Chaucer. Les fabliaux du Moyen Age y dialoguent avec les classiques de la spiritualite chretienne : Boece en aval de saint Augustin et de Cassien, Gerson dans le sillage de saint Bernard et de saint Thomas d'Aquin. Ce dernier texte de Thomas More est traduit et eclaire par une introduction, des notes et un index biblique par l'abbe Germain Marc'hadour, et l'une de ses anciennes etudiantes, Jocelyne Malhomme. C'est un texte spirituel d'une grande force et d'une grande beaute, ecrit avec ironie mais sans venin, par un homme qui savait que sa derniere heure etait proche. Languages : French, Latin.
