Ik, Maria van Gelre De hertogin en haar uitzonderlijke gebedenboek.
PB, 270 x 240 mm, 224 p, 125 illustrations. NL edition. ISBN: 9789462622012
Haar gebedenboek is een van de grootste Nederlandse kunstschatten van kort na 1400. Het verhaal van haar leven was tot voor kort vrijwel onbekend. Maria, hertogin van Gulik en Gelre en gravin van Zutphen, was een bijzondere vrouw. Ze is geboren in Normandie in 1380 en opgegroeid aan het Franse hof. Jarenlang was ze hofdame van Valentina Visconti, moeder van de beroemde dichter Charles d'Orleans. Die Franse wereld van geleerdheid, schoonheid en zelfverzekerdheid heeft haar gevormd. Ze had smaak, was intelligent en daadkrachtig als bestuurder, wanneer ze daarvoor de ruimte kreeg. Ik, Maria van Gelre. De hertogin en haar uitzonderlijke gebedenboek vertelt voor het eerst het levensverhaal van deze sterke vrouw van 600 jaar geleden, laat de rijke wereld zien waarin zij leefde en biedt de tot nu toe meest uitvoerige kennismaking met haar spectaculaire gebedenboek.

Scribes, souscripteurs et temoins dans les actes prives en France (VIIe - debut du XIIe siecle),
Turnhout, Brepols, 2005. Paperback, 490 p., 99 b/w ill., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN: 9782503516288
Les souscriptions sont un des elements les plus importants des actes du Haut Moyen Age. Il s'agit en effet du principal, voire meme souvent de l'unique moyen de validation. L'etude des souscriptions permet de passer en revue la vocabulaire de la souscription, les signes graphiques mis en oeuvre (entre autres la croix, le monogramme, le chrisme...). Elle offre aussi l'occasion de mieux comprendre comment se deroulait l'elaboration, la souscription et la promulgation d'un acte, quelle etait la part d'autographie dans ces souscriptions, quels etaient les scribes qui ecrivaient ces actes. Elle remet donc en perspective la place de l'ecrit dans la societe medievale. Languages: French.

The Angela Burdett-Coutts Collection of Greek Manuscripts
Brepols, 2021. Hardback, 472 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:80 b/w, 102 col., Language: English. ISBN: 9782503593760
Summary Baroness Angela Burdett-Coutts (1814-1906), descendant of a wealthy and well-known family of bankers, inherited quite young, through a series of unpredictable circumstances, the enormous fortune of Thomas Coutts, her maternal grand-father. She spent most of her long life in London, where she occupied a prominent position in society, becoming well-known not only for her splendid life-style and her important literary and political acquaintances, as, for instance, Charles Dickens and Admiral Nelson, but also for her active role as a philanthropist. This book explores a little-known side of her life; although she did not know Greek, she became the owner of ca. 100 Greek manuscripts, mostly theological, datable between the tenth and the sixteenth century, a part of which she donated to Highgate School. The manuscripts, with all the Baroness's possessions, were dispersed at auction in 1921 and in 1987 and are now mainly divided between American and European University Libraries. This book has identified for the first time the Baroness's Greek manuscripts, located and described them in detail, with special attention to their script style and their origin, adding to their description one or two plates of each codex.

Die Flamische Buchmalerei am Ende des Burgunderreichs. Der Meister des Dresdener Gebetbuchs und die Miniaturisten seiner Zeit, 2 volumes
Turnhout, Brepols, 1998. Hardback, 760 pages., incl. 63 colour + 474 bl/w ill., 210 x 297 mm. in 2 volumes ISBN: 9782503505657
The present publication offers the first comprehensive survey of manuscript illumination in Flanders during a period of rapid and exciting transition: the reign of Charles the Bold and the time following his death until c.1530. This is the area of the so-called Ghent-Bruges School when illuminators set out to develop a completely new aesthetic approach to the painted page. The author traces the origins of this development and demonstrates how it is rooted in historical and economical changes of the period. He does so by investigating in detail the careers of half a dozen illuminators, the most prolific figure among them the Master of the Dresden Prayerbook. Being long since recognized as one of the inventors of genre painting on the basis of his remarkable sense for psychological observation, the present study identifies him as a great landscape painter, too. In more than ten years of research the author has been able to enlarge the corpus of works attributable to the Dresden Master from 20 to 61. Among the newly discovered items are more than a dozen dated or datable works, which for the first time allow to establish a sound chronology of his oeuvre. Thus, in addition to reconstructing the biographies of several major artists and presenting ideas about the market for and the production of manuscripts in Flanders, the study will make a hitherto largely unknown body of material available to scholars, art lovers and all those interested in the history of Flanders in the 15th and 16th century. Ein Gebetbuch, das sich heute in Dresden befindet, hat dem vielleicht bemerkenswertesten flamischen Buchmaler des spaten Mittelalters seinen kunsthistorischen Notnamen gegeben. Als einfuhlsamer Psychologe besticht dieser Kunstler ebenso wie als temperamentvoller Erzuhler, er gestaltet stimmungsvolle Landschaften ebenso geschickt wie lebendige Genreszenen und ist nicht zuletzt ein begnadeter Kolorist. Von den Zeitgenossen, die oft nur Vorlagen reproduzieren, hebt ihn seine besondere Gabe ab, neue Bilderfindungen zu schaffen. Deshalb bevorzugten ihn seine Auftraggeber besonders dann, wenn es galt, Szenen aus der Antike oder der zeitgenussischen Geschichte, entlegene Episoden des Alten Testaments oder eine Dichtung der Christine de Pizan zu illustrieren. Dem Kunsthistoriker Bode Brinkmann ist es in jahrelanger Arbeit gelungen, diesem huchst produktiven Anonymus ?ber 60 Werke zuzuweisen, darunter nicht nur illuminierte Handschriften, sondern auch Kupferstiche und kolorierte Federzeichnungen in Fr?drucken. In seinem nun vorliegenden Buch ludt der Autor den Leser dazu ein, mit ihm die Fahrte des unbekannten Meisters zu verfolgen. Die Reise Beginnt gegen 1450 mit der Lehrzeit in Utrecht und fuhrt uber Gesellenjahre und das erste eigene Atelier in Brugge sowie einen maglichen Abstecher nach Gent schlieBlich uber Tournai bis nach Amiens. Nach einigen Jahren in der Hauptstadt der Pikardie ist der Dresdener Meister dann wieder nach Brugge zuruckgekehrt, wo er bis gegen 1520 noch mehrere Jahrzehnte lang fruchtbar gewirkt hat. Schritt furr Schritt wird die Rekonstruktion einer Kunstlerbiographie. Viele seiner Werke hat der Dresdenerer Gebetbuchmeister ganz alleine geschaffen; in manchen jedoch arbeitet er mit anderen Kunstlern seiner Zeit zusammen: mit beruhmten Tafelmalern wie Gerard David und Simon Marmion, aber auch mit eine Reihe von Kleinmeistern, die hier zum ersten Mal benannt und charakterisiert werden. Infolgedessen geht die vorliegen. Languages: German.

Armenian Manuscripts. Catalogues, Collections, Libraries: 2nd revised edition
Brepols, 2021. Hardback, xix + 463 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Language(s):English, Armenian. ISBN: 9782503590349
Summary Hellenists know the services rendered by the Répertoire des catalogues de manuscrits grecs of Marcel Richard and Jean-Marie Olivier. It is an indispensable heuristic tool, but also a witness to the development of codicology and cultural history. Such a tool was lacking for specialists of Armenian manuscripts, philologists, linguists, and art historians. Armenian Manuscripts. Catalogues, Collections, Libraries (in English) is the second edition, revised and updated, of the Répertoire des bibliothèques et des catalogues de manuscrits arméniens first published in 1992. It includes the four supplements published in the journal Le Muséon in 1995, 2000, 2004, and 2019, as well as new sections devoted e.g. to the main copy centers of Armenian manuscripts. The book provides a full bibliography on all repositories of Armenian manuscripts in the world, public and private, large and small. It also gives many insights about the fate of Armenian manuscripts in the course of history: where and when they have been produced, mostly in medieval monastic centers, how they escaped invasions, fires, thefts and even destructions linked to the genocide of the Armenians, and finally how they ended up in private or public collections where they can be studied and admired today. Tables of concordance between current and old references enable one to locate manuscripts that are thought to have disappeared or to find more complete descriptions in an old catalogue than are given in recent lists. The volume also includes an impressive index of manuscripts.

Staging the Court of Burgundy.
Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2013. Hardback with dusjacket, IV 396 p., 200 b/w ill. 50 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm, Studies in Medieval and Early Renaissance Art History (HMSAH 69) Languages: English
. ISBN: 9781905375820 This volume presents a study of the Burgundian court during the 15th century, and provides a forum for new research in various fields. In the course of the fifteenth century, the reputation of the Burgundian court rose to an unprecedented level, catapulted forward by ever growing territorial ambitions and accumulation of wealth. This reached a climax during the reign of Charles the Bold (1433-1477), the living embodiment of the pomp and pageantry of the Burgundian court and a generous patron of the fine arts. Rather than focusing on a single domain, this volume aims to shed light on Burgundian court culture as an organic whole, between the start of the reign of Philip the Good (1419) and the death of Mary of Burgundy (1482). It is intended to provide a forum for new research from the fields of History, History of Art, Literature and Musicology. With contributions (among others) from Wim Blockmans, Herman Brinkman, Barbara Haggh, Andrea Berlin, James Bloom, Till-Holger Borchert, Andrew Brown, Hendrik Callewier, Anna Campbell, Mario Damen, Sonja Duennebeil, Jonas Goossenaerts, Bieke Hillewaert, Andrew Hamilton, Eva Helfenstein, Jesse Hurlbut, Sophie Jolivet, Sascha Kohl, Sherry Lindquist, Jana Lucas, Samuel Mareel, Elizabeth J.

ITEM A GUILLAUME WYELANT AUSSI ENLUMINEUR, WILLEM VRELANT UN ASPECT DE L'ENLUMINURE DANS LES PAYS-BAS MERIDIONAUX SOUS LE MECENAT DES DUCS DE BOURGOGNE PHILIPPE LE BON ET CHARLES LE TEMERAIRE,
Brepols, 1997. softcover couverture carton illustree, 220 x 280mm., 391pp., illustration profonde en n/b et en couleurs. ISBN 2 503 50686 0. Trace d'usure au couverture. ISBN: 9782503506869
Willem Vrelant (ou Guillaume Wielant) s'affirme parmi les enlumineurs les plus prolifiques des Pays-Bas meridionaux au XVe siecle. Pres de quatre-vingts manuscrits lui sont attribues, parmi lesquels plusieurs oeuvres marquantes de la miniature du bas moyen age comme le second volume des Chroniques de Hainaut de Jacques de Guise, la Vie de sainte Catherine peinte en "ymaiges de noir et blanc", le Livre des Faits et Conquestes d'Alexandre le Grand compile par Jean Wauquelin, la Legende doree de Jacques de Voragine, l'Epitre d'Othea de Christine de Pisan ou les quatre exemplaires du Miroir historial de Vincent de Beauvais. Originaire d'Utrecht, Vrelant s'installe dans la seconde moitie du XVe siecle a Bruges, ou il adhere a la gilde de Saint Jean l'evangeliste en 1454. Ses clients sont des riches bourgeois, des clercs, des fonctionnaires de haut rang comme Jacques de Bregilles, des prelats comme Ferry de Clugny mais surtout des membres de la noblesse. Des personnalites telles que Louis de Gruuthuse, Antoine, le Grand Batard de Bourgogne, Eleonore de Portugal, Juana Enriquez, la reine d'Espagne, ou Charles de Croy lui ont passe commande. Mais c'est avant tout pour les ducs de Bourgogne, Philippe le Bon et son fils Charles le Hardi, dit le Temeraire, qu'il realise ses travaux les plus remarquables. Le nombre de scenes illustrees dans ces volumes depasse largement la production rassemblee autour des miniaturistes attitres du duc de Bourgogne. Le "corpus Vrelant" est vaste mais surtout complexe. Sur la base d'une nouvelle classification, les manuscrits qui en font partie sont decrits et etudies sur le plan historique, codicologique, textuel et iconographique. En outre, la presente publication tente de degager les lignes maitresses du travail de cet enlumineur dont l'identification a entraine diverses polemiques. De nombreux aspects de sa production sont passes en revue, notamment ses rapports avec d'autres miniaturistes.

Turnhout, Brepols, 2012. Hardback, 358 p., 824 colour ill., 230 x 315 mm. ISBN: 9782503542201
Le Ci nous dit est un texte essentiel pour la spiritualite de la fin du Moyen Age. C?est un recueil d'instruction chretienne, anonyme, ecrit en francais vers 1320.

Chaque chapitre commence par la formule ?« Ci nous dit ?» (Ici on nous dit que?). Le manuscrit du Musee Conde a Chantilly est a la fois le plus ancien, et le seul a etre magnifiquement illustre, avec pres de huit cents enluminures, et donc le seul a avoir conserve la formule originelle. La reproduction et le commentaire de la totalite de cette iconographie exceptionnelle revelent ainsi l'existence d'un veritable cycle enlumine de la culture et de la morale chretiennes, et qui se trouvait a disposition d'un laic, pour sa devotion personnelle.

This is the sixth volume in a continuing series of publications listing and identifying all illustrations contained in English manuscripts from the time of Chaucer to Henry VIII.

Tractatuli, excerpta et fragmenta de musica s. XI et XII,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2012. Paperback, 462 p., 31 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN: 9782503540306
Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'un travail entrepris au debut de l'annee 2007, soutenu par l'idee de mettre a la disposition des chercheurs un ensemble de petits traites et extraits sur la musique conserves dans les sources manuscrites des XIe et XIIe siecles susceptible de preciser l'histoire des theories de la musique au cours de ces deux siecles et leurs implications pour la pratique du chant liturgique. A ce titre, tous ces textes sont indissociables des 'grands' traites de musique de l'ere carolingienne jusqu'au XIIe siecle - la Musica enchiriadis, le Dialogus de musica, les ecrits de Guy d'Arezzo, la preface a l'antiphonaire de Bernon ou encore la Musica de Jean d'Afflighem - dont la diffusion fut considerable et qui ont largement contribue a faconner la theorie du chant liturgique du Moyen Age. L'etablissement des textes a ete realise en etroite collaboration entre les deux editeurs de ce volume et les lecons retenues ont souvent fait l'objet de longues discussions Cet ensemble composite de textes doit etre lu et restitue dans la perspective des evenements majeurs qui s'operent au tournant des XIe et XIIe siecle et qui affectent la codification et la normalisation des repertoires du chant liturgique. Pour l'histoire du chant liturgique, l'evenement majeur fut incontestablement celui du mouvement de reforme qui se deploie dans l'eglise depuis le milieu du XIe siecle. Pour l'histoire du repertoire, cet evenement est indissociable de la diffusion progressive de la technique de notation sur lignes qui soumet desormais la codification des melodies a l'echelle des sons herite de l'enseignement du De institutione musica de Boece. La rencontre de ces evenements explique en grande partie l'ampleur des discussions theoriques autour des questions de la modalite dont bon nombre de ces textes se font l'echo.

Catalogue des manuscrits notes du Moyen Age conserves dans les bibliotheques publiques de France. Collections de Champagne-Ardenne. Chalons-en-Champagne, Charleville-Mezieres, Chaumont, Langres, Reims, Troyes, Vitry-le-Francois,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2010. Paperback, XIX+268 pages ., 210 x 270 mm. ISBN: 9782503535647
Le present volume propose une description de 190 manuscrits notes conserves dans les bibliotheques publiques de la Region Champagne-Ardenne. Ils forment une collection disparate qui documente les chants et les poesies liturgiques au repertoire de l?ancienne province episcopale de Reims et des dioceses de Langres et de Troyes. Les vestiges les plus anciens sont conserves de maniere fragmentaire ou sous forme d?additions sur les livres de l?abbaye Saint-Thierry de Reims. Le fonds remois se distingue en outre par un bel ensemble d?ouvrages liturgiques destines a la celebration de la messe, tandis que les antiphonaires et breviaires du diocese de Langres (Chaumont, Langres) revelent de nombreux offices propres du sanctoral local ou diocesain. Les collections de Charleville-Mezieres et de Troyes reunissent egalement un ensemble representatif de livres liturgiques a l?usage de diverses communautes cisterciennes et cartusiennes. Les manuscrits champenois se singularisent en outre par la diversite des notations musicales. Si la notation francaise est pour ainsi dire inexistante a Reims, les manuscrits d?origine remoise utilisent, jusqu?au XIIIe siecle, une notation de type messin. En revanche, la notation a points lies et a petits carres dont la collection de la bibliotheque de Troyes conserve quelques beaux temoins semble avoir ete largement repandue dans la partie meridionale de la Champagne. Les collections champenoises offrent par ailleurs de nombreux temoins de notations neumatiques mixtes associant diversement des elements des notations messine et francaise. Une introduction presentant sommairement les fonds, leur histoire et leurs particularites, eclaire le cadre historique dans lequel ces manuscrits ont vu le jour ou ont ete utilises.

Manuscript Painting in Thirteenth-Century Flanders, Manuscript Painting in Thirteenth-Century Flanders. Bruges, Ghent and the Circle of the Counts
2012. Hardback , IX 542 pages., 280 b/w ill. 19 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm, Languages: English.Studies in Medieval and Early Renaissance Art History
. ISBN: 9781905375677 This book provides an extensive in-depth study of the figural painting produced in Flanders during the 13th century.This is the first comprehensive and in-depth study of the earliest figural painting ever to have been produced in Flanders on a continual basis. Most of the manuscripts are Psalters, but Bibles, a Breviary, a Missal, a Netherlandic life of a saint, and yet other texts occur. Three main categories of illuminator are distinguishable: those working in Bruges, in Ghent, and, at least in part, for the circle of the counts of Flanders. The principal chapters and the catalog segments are organized around their individual contributions. An arrangement in time and place of the total body of work was obtained through a lengthy and rigorous process of comparison of figural, ornamental and writing styles, codicological and textual features. Several distinctive Flemish patterns of Psalter iconography have emerged; these are presented in tabular form with accompanying commentaries. A surprising amount of information about the early owners of the books, mostly well-to-do members of the laity, was yielded in the analysis for the manuscript catalogs.

CLARK, Gregory T.;
MADE IN FLANDERS. THE MASTER OF THE GHENT PRIVILEGES AND MANUSCRIPT PAINTING IN THE SOUTHERN NETHERLANDS IN THE TIME OF PHILIP THE GOOD,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2000. Bound, black cloth, illustrated dustjacket, 205 x 305mm., 499pp., profoundly illustrated in colour and b/w. ISBN: 9782503508788
The subject of this monograph is the prolific mid-fifteenth-century Flemish book illuminator whom Friedrich Winkler first identified and named in 1915 after a richly decorated copy of the statutes and privileges of Ghent and Flanders made for Philip the Good, duke of Burgungy (Vienna, Ost. National-bibl., Cod.2583). While no fewer than 15 codices and cuttings have been ascribed to the painter in the 80 years since Winkler's pioneering essay, there has been no published effort to date to order, analyze, and evaluate the work of the Ghent Privileges Master in the larger context of the history and arts of the Burgundian Netherlands. The monograph's essay is divided into five chapters. The first caracterizes the style of the Vienna Privileges itself and then carefully trace its origins and development. Compositional and iconographic sources, innovations, and problems are identified and analyzed in the second chapter; ancillary decoration -especially decorated initials and floral borders- are described and localized and collaborating miniaturists identified in the third. In the fourth chapter the stylistic evidence obtained in the first three chapters is joint together with that provided by texts and provenances in order to date and localize the subject books and leaves. The final chapter positions those codices and cuttings in the larger context of Flemish illumination in the time of Philip the Good. Following the essay are 334 figures and 141 comparative illustrations and a catalogue raisonne of 30 books and 24 leaves in the Privileges style. A decisive majority of the figures and illustrations have never before been reproduced in the scholarly literature; the physical characteristics, texts, miniatures, provenance, and bibliography of each codex and cutting are described in full detail in the catalogue. Following the latter are appendices that provide the readings and textual authorities for the Hours of the Virgin. Book is in very good condition.

Women at the Burgundian Court: Presence and Influence. Femmes a la Cour de Bourgogne: Presence et Influence,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2011. Hardback, XXI+182 p., 39 b/w ill. + 26 colour ill., 178 x 254 mm. ISBN: 9782503522883
This collection of essays charts the role of women at the Burgundian court by analysing the ways in which medieval women, such as Isabella of Portugal, Margaret of York, Mary of Burgundy, Margaret of Austria made an impact through their physical, moral and spiritual presence at court. During the absence of the prince these well-educated and internationally experienced spouses, mothers and aunts were put in charge of the courtly household or were in some cases appointed regent of the Netherlandish territories for a limited period of time. The youngest generation of women represented by the sisters and consorts of Charles V and Ferdinand I - now forming part of the extended family network - continued this tradition and took it to Germany, Spain, France and Portugal. The court developed into a kind of 'gender laboratory', in which women actively negotiated their position of power, thus consolidating their influence in politics, diplomacy, education and art.

Mes meilleures heures de Nostre Dame
Les Heures de La Tramerie, un manuscrit vagabond (Paris, vers 1430 - Tournai, vers 1510-1520)
Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2023. softover, 220 pages, Size:230 x 290 mm, Illustrations:135 col. Language(s):French. ISBN: 9782930054438
Dans les années 1510-1520, Tournai traverse une zone de turbulence. Sur le plan politique, elle n?est qu?un pion dans la grande partie d?échecs que se jouent François Ier, Charles Quint et Henri VIII : après avoir été une « bonne ville de France » pendant plusieurs centaines d?années, elle tombe à contre-c?ur sous la coupe anglaise, avant de passer aux Habsbourg. Le monde intellectuel local est en ébullition lui aussi : l?humanisme, allié à la montée en puissance de l?imprimerie, pénètre les esprits et l?on songe même à doter Tournai d?une université. Sur le front religieux, le protestantisme gagne toutes les couches sociales, divise la population, fait éclater les liens familiaux. C?est dans ce contexte de crise qu?un enlumineur anonyme met la dernière main aux Heures de La Tramerie, un manuscrit de dévotion privée au destin étonnant, commencé à Paris vers 1430, puis laissé en friche pendant plus de trois quarts de siècle. Son nouveau propriétaire, un Tournaisien, l?adapte aux usages locaux : il le dote d?un calendrier et charge un enlumineur de compléter son illustration : treize grandes scènes à personnages et de somptueuses marges décorées, peintes sur chacune de ses cent cinquante pages. Quatre autres manuscrits ont pu être réunis autour de cette ?uvre exceptionnelle, ainsi qu?un livre d?heures imprimé, tous décorés par la même main. Réalisés pour des commanditaires français ? le dernier gouverneur de Tournai, un évêque amateur de lys, une dame issue d?une éminente famille poitevine ? ces livres attestent la vitalité insoupçonnée de la création artistique à Tournai, à une période-clé de l?histoire européenne.

La Mort le Roi Artur
(The Death of Arthur) from the old French 'Lancelot' of Yale 229 with Essays, Glossaries and Notes to the Text,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2008. Paperback, IX+322 p., 28 colour ill., 215 x 280 mm. ISBN: 9782503516769
The multi-volume project responds to long-standing lacunae in Old French text study and Arthurian scholarship, in that it aims to provide a linguistically and scribally authentic text of a single illustrated Arthurian manuscript; in this case, it is one that has never before been edited, collated, or translated. Since research on text, language, and manuscript may be impeded by editorial policies operative in older editions of medieval narratives and since viewing the manuscripts directly is often difficult or impossible, the editorial board set protocols for the Lancelot Prose of 229 editions that would address the need for authentic, accessible texts, packaged with ancillaries to address a variety of reading and experience levels. At the same time, the board wished to take into account the potential of electronic images to enhance scholarly work and teaching based on the editions. The idea of a strictly 'diplomatic edition' was discarded in light of digital technology's ability to provide high-resolution images of an original that are useful for close private study and public viewing. Thus each edition provides a useful, portable, authentic reading of Old French Arthurian narrative that is supported externally by online electronic images and internally by a selection of wonderful illustrations and a variety of ancillary materials and essays developed through years of study and teaching based on Yale 229. The Mort begins with the return of Bohors from the quest of the Holy Grail and narrates the declining fortunes of King Arthur and his Round Table through the dissolution of the Table and the 'death' of Arthur. The tale includes Morgain's efforts to convince Arthur of Lancelot and Guinevere's adultery, Lancelot's battle to save Guinevere from burning at the stake, the dramatic discovery of Guinevere and Lancelot by Arthur's knights, the departure of Arthur from his kingdom to fight Lancelot, and Arthur's leaving his Kingdom, the keys to his treasury, and his Queen in the hands of the treacherous Mordret. In the closing folios, Arthur is mortally wounded by Mordret at the apocalyptic Battle of Salisbury Plain, and Lancelot returns to avenge Arthur against Mordret's two sons at the final Battle of Winchester. The book closes shortly after the death of Lancelot, with a rejection of the life of court and chivalry in favor of penance and spiritual fulfillment. Languages: English, French.

This edition of the Queste del Saint Graal offers researchers, teachers, and students a definitively authentic edition of the thirteenth-century text as a source for narrative, manuscript culture, language, and linguistics. Like La mort le roi Artu, its predecessor in the Brepols Prose Lancelot of Yale 229 series, this volume supports reading, research, and teaching with name and word glossaries, extended notes to the text, an introductory essay, and a "Works Cited" of primary and secondary resources of interest to the Queste. Alison Stones?s comparative study and detailed collation of the decoration of illustrated Queste manuscripts provide a unique and indispensable resource of Queste manuscript art and its connections to the narrative.

Classica et Beneventana, Essays Presented to Virginia Brown on the Occasion of her 65th Birthday
Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2008. Hardcover. XXIV 444 p., 20 b/w ill., 165 x 240 mm, Languages: English, French, Italian, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN: 9782503524344
The Festschrift volume Classica et Beneventana, presented to Virginia Brown on the occasion of her 65th birthday, brings together twenty-one insightful new essays by leading scholars devoted to the fields of classical reception and Latin palaeography. The authors investigate a wide-range of topics such as the development and application of the Beneventan script, comparative codicology, uses of early liturgical manuscripts, medieval artes and biblical texts and their readers, and the reception and dissemination of classical texts during the Italian Renaissance. Since 1970, Virginia Brown has been a Senior Research Fellow at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies. She is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities in classical reception and Latin palaeography. Her numerous publications on the Beneventan script have dramatically altered our knowledge of the dissemination of this southern Italian book hand from 800 to 1600. Her editorial work for the Catalogus translationum et commentariorum, as a member of the Editorial Board and since 1985 as Editor-in-Chief, has resulted in several learned volumes tracing the fortuna and study of classical authors from antiquity to the year 1600. As editor of Mediaeval Studies from 1974 to 1988, she single-handedly produced tomes noted for their scholarly rigor and acumen. This collection of essays serves as a fitting tribute to a scholar who, via her scholarly research and editorial work, has done so much to advance the fields of palaeography, codicology, and the history of classical scholarship.

Le pontificat de Leon IX (1049-1054) marque un tournant dans l'histoire de l'Eglise. Energique et determine, Leon IX voyage au sud comme au nord des Alpes, tient de nombreux conciles, fait sentir meme aux eveques le poids de l'autorite romaine, tente de mener une politique coherente face aux Normands et aux Byzantins, reforme la vieille chancellerie pontificale... Il lance ainsi, dans le respect de l'autorite imperiale, la reforme de l'Eglise qui deviendra ensuite la reforme gregorienne. Saisissant le pretexte du millenaire de sa naissance, un colloque reuni a Strasbourg en juin 2002 a fait le point sur les origines, la personnalite, l'action et l'entourage de ce pape, ainsi que sur les sources, narratives, diplomatiques, epistolaires, necrologiques, archeologiques et autres, de l'histoire de son pontificat.

The Study of Medieval Manuscripts of England. Festschrift in Honor of Richard W. Pfaff,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2011. Hardback, IX+438 p., 23 b/w ill., 175 x 255 mm. ISBN: 9780866984324
The Study of Medieval Manuscripts of England: Festschrift in Honor of Richard Pfaff, edited by George Hardin Brown and Linda Ehrsam Voigts, consists of sixteen important studies, all dealing with manuscripts produced in medieval England. The first group reflects the meticulous analysis of liturgical manuscripts that characterize the honorand's career. These treat both early and late medieval liturgical concerns and include liturgy for Gilbertine lay brothers, a lost treatise by Amalarius, the re-working of an Anglo-Saxon Gospel book; the music for the Vigil of St. Thomas Becket; and the continuity of Processions from Old Sarum to Salisbury Cathedral. Two studies examine the liturgies having to do with saints in Sarum missals and breviaries. The second, historical, section of this volume includes three studies on Anglo-Saxon manuscripts. Six other analyses concern the high and later Middle Ages: an illuminated crusade manuscript; codicological evidence for revising the traditional dates associated with Gilbertus Anglicus's life and writing; evidence for Bishop William Reed's collection and donation of books to Oxford colleges in the later fourteenth century; anomalous writings in a sermon codex; the records of the private incomes of monks at Westminster Abbey; and a catalogue and analysis of medieval manuscripts containing moral philosophy.

Copisti a Bologna (1265-1270)

The mystery of writing is that there is nothing mysterious about it. If Saramago is right, then it is obvious that palaeography has not yet found all the keys we need if we are to enter amongst the people who gave form to the thoughts and memories of the medieval world. In order to reveal their identity ? the greatest mystery of all ? it is sometimes necessary to pass over what has already been written, affirmed and maintained, and to return to the sources instead. The ?Memoriali? conserved in the Archivio di Stato in Bologna reveal stories of men and women who created, with pen and quill veritable cathedrals of ink, indelible and sometimes of ineffable beauty. In this volume the names are collected, the commissions listed, where possible the careers and tribulations described of more than 270 copyists documented at Bologna between 1265 and 1270. In short, it is the documentary sources, not the works produced or such as have survived, on which the present book has been based.

De tous les ecrivains du Moyen Age, Christine de Pizan est celui dont le plus grand nombre de manuscrits originaux sont conserves, certains autographes, les autres realises sous sa direction. Ces cinquante-deux manuscrits forment donc un ensemble inestimable et representent un objet d?etude d?une exceptionnelle richesse d?enseignements, tant pour les historiens du livre et les codicologues que pour les historiens de l?art ou de la litterature. Fruit de trente ans de travaux menes par Gilbert Ouy et Christine Reno, auxquels s?est jointe l?historienne de l?art Ines Villela-Petit, l?Album Christine de Pizan a beneficie du precieux concours d?Olivier Delsaux, James Laidlaw et Tania Van Hemelryck, ainsi que des conseils avises de Marie-Therese Gousset, pour offrir une etude complete du corpus des manuscrits de l?auteur. Les peintres enlumineurs et les ornemanistes a son service, pourvus de nom de convention lorsqu?ils n?en avaient pas encore, sont aussi etudies, beaucoup pour la premiere fois.
