Re-Thinking Late Antique Armenia: Historiography, Material Culture, and Heritage
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, 191 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:30 b/w, 125 col., 2 maps color, Language: English. ISBN: 9788028003067
Summary This book questions the place of Armenian visual and material culture in the period known as Late Antiquity, at a time when Armenia is usually presented as an in-between space defined by surrounding external entities: the Roman and the Persian, and later Arab world. The volume includes articles that confront this notion both from the perspective of art history, architecture, and archaeology, and from a historiographical point of view, which examines the reception of Armenian arts by scholars from Italy, Russia, and France. The articles in this richly illustrated volume aim to reposition Armenia as one of the forces of artistic creation and mediation to be reckoned with within the Mediterranean and Eurasian space of Late Antiquity. This project draws on the papers presented at the conference ?Re-Constructing Late Antique Armenia (2nd-8th Centuries CE). Historiography, Material Culture, Immaterial Heritage? that took place in February 2022 at the Center for Early Medieval Studies in Brno, Czech Republic.

La caduta di Acri 1291. Raccolta delle imprese legate allo sterminio di Acri - Taddeo di Napoli, Storia della desolazione e della distruzione della citt� di Acri e di tutta la Terra Santa
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, 168 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 tables b/w., Language: Italian. ISBN: 9782503602646
Summary La caduta di San Giovanni d'Acri nel 1291, che segna la fine degli stati crociati d'Oltremare, rappresenta un punto di svolta nella storia medievale, gi� percepito come tale dai contemporanei. Sulla scia immediata dell'evento, due scritti narrano e commentano la battaglia: l'anonima Excidii Aconis gestorum collectio (composta probabilmente nel Nord della Francia) e l'Ystoria de desolatione et conculcatione ciuitatis Acconensis et tocius Terre Sancte di Taddeo di Napoli, venata di influssi gioachimiti. Entrambi ripercorrono con impressionante vividit� le vicende che hanno portato allo scontro e soprattutto la disperata resistenza della citt�, mettendo in scena una molteplicit� di personaggi nelle loro dinamiche di collaborazione e dissenso: i maestri degli Ordini Militari, i governanti e il patriarca, la folla dei combattenti e delle vittime inermi; dall'altra parte, i due sultani che si succedono nel corso degli eventi con il loro popolo di ?infedeli?, sinistri eppure valorosi. Lo stile adottato dall'Anonimo e da Taddeo � improntato a un preziosismo al limite talvolta della comprensibilit�, che rende ardua la lettura nell'originale latino. La traduzione italiana mette a disposizione in modo pi� facilmente accessibile due fonti fondamentali per la storia delle crociate e della percezione di esse nella cultura del tempo. La versione latina originale dei testi qui tradotti � pubblicata nella collana Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Mediaeualis con il titolo Excidii Aconis gestorum collectio; Ystoria de desolatione et conculcatione ciuitatis Acconensis et tocius Terre Sancte (CC CM, 202), a cura di R.B.C. Huygens (2004). I rimandi alle pagine corrispondenti dell'edizione sono forniti a margine di questa traduzione.

Medieval Glossaries from North-Western Europe. Tradition and Innovation
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, 762 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:25 b/w, 11 col., 16 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN: 9782503584577
Summary Glossaries are the dictionaries of the medieval period. They were created at a time when no comprehensive dictionary of the Latin language existed, but lexicographical resources were urgently needed to engage with the writings of Classical and Late Antiquity as well as near-contemporary texts. In the non-Romance speaking areas in north-western Europe, the compilers of glossaries were quick to have recourse to their vernacular languages. Glossaries are often the places in which these languages were put into writing for the first time. Hence, the effort to explain Latin vocabulary resulted in bilingual lexicography and in the establishment of the vernaculars as written languages in their own right. The negotiation of linguistic and cultural barriers lies at the centre of the glossaries. Consequently, medieval traditions of glossography are highly interconnected. This volume represents the first reference work dedicated to medieval glossaries in English and related traditions, including other languages spoken in the British Isles (Celtic languages, Anglo-Norman) and the Germanic languages (High and Low German, Dutch, Scandinavian, Gothic). As such, it is intended as a vademecum for researchers in order to facilitate modern approaches to medieval glossography, lexicology and lexicography, which often require some familiarity with different traditions. Written by experts in the field, the fifty chapters of this volume highlight important characteristics and themes of medieval glossaries and outline different glossographic traditions; they facilitate access to individual glossaries, or groups of related glossaries, by providing detailed discussions of the texts, their sources, relationships and transmission; they also give an account of the current state of research and highlight important resources.

Paganism in the Middle Ages : Threat and Fascination
UPL, 2013. 1. Softcover with flaps, 250 pages, ENG edition, 240 x 160 x 20 mm, New condition, a few b/w illustrations. ISBN: 9789058679338
Interdisciplinary study of pagan culture from late antiquity to the emergent Renaissance In this volume the persistence, resurgence, threat, fascination, and repression of various forms of pagan culture are studied in an interdisciplinary perspective from late antiquity to the emergent Renaissance. Contributions deal with the survival of pagan beliefs and practices, as well as with the Christianization of pagan rural populations or with the different strategies of oppression of pagan beliefs. The authors examine problems raised by the encounter with pagan cultures outside the Muslim world and show how philosophers contrived to ?save' the great philosophers and poets from ancient culture notwithstanding their paganism. The contributors also study the fascination of classic ?pagan' culture among friars during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and the imitation of pagan models of virtue and mythology in Renaissance poetry.

Organising a Literary Corpus in the Middle Ages. The Corpus Nazianzenum and the Corpus Dionysiacum
Brepols, 2024. Hardback, 700 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:6 b/w, 15 col., 12 tables b/w., Language(s):English, French, German. ISBN: 9782503610962
Summary Through the word corpus, the metaphor of the body is applied to a collection of works by the same author that are transmitted together. These works not only share the same skin, the manuscript, but also function organically thanks to a complex system of paracontents. It is possible to see this system at work in the case of only a very few medieval authors throughout history, cultures and languages; the Corpus Nazianzenum and the Corpus Dionysiacum are such instances. Both Gregory of Nazianzus and Dionysius the Areopagite are super-authors, who forged their own literary identity as much as they shaped the body of their writings. This sets both corpora apart from other collections of patristic works. They are also exceptional because of the large scale and enduring character of their cultural impact in the different cultures in which the corpora were translated, commented and annotated. By confronting these two exceptional cases, it is possible to gain some new light on the intellectual and book-historical aspects of literary creation and reception in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Cassiodorus Senator, Ilaria Morresi(ed)
Le Institutiones humanarum litterarum di Cassiodoro. Commento alle redazioni interpolate ? ?
Brepols, 2023. Hardback, 554 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:72 b/w, 15 tables b/w., Language(s):Italian, Latin. ISBN: 9782503595900
Summary The Institutiones humanarum litterarum - that is, the second book of Cassiodorus' masterpiece, devoted to secular learning - have come down to us in three different textual forms: the 'authentic' recension ?, corresponding to Cassiodorus' final wishes, and two subsequent recensions, designated as ? and ?. In these two recensions, later interpolations were added on the basis of an earlier authorial draft, providing modern readers with valuable information both about Cassiodorus' progressive revisions and about the early fortune of his work. This volume provides a full commentary to the first critical edition of the interpolated recensions ? and ? (CC SL 99A). In doing so, it conveys a full picture of the complex history of the Institutiones saeculares, from their first appearance in the monastery of Vivarium to the Carolingian Renaissance, at which time they knew their greatest success and circulation.

L'art m�di�val est-il contemporain ? Is Medieval Art Contemporary?
Brepols, 2023. Hardback, 247 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:5 b/w, 66 col., Language(s):English, French. ISBN: 9782503599731
Summary This publication brings together essays by scholars of both medieval and contemporary art, offering a cross-disciplinary approach of both periods. It investigates how contemporary artists and contemporary art historians perceive medieval art, and, reciprocally, how medieval art historians envisage the echoes of medieval artforms and esthetics in contemporary art. The volume follows on from the symposium organized in conjunction with the exhibition "Make it New: Carte Blanche � Jan Dibbets" that was held at the Biblioth�que Nationale de France (Paris) in 2019, and which presented side by side Hrabanus Maurus's De Laudibus Sanctae Crucis (In Praise of the Holy Cross), a masterpiece of Carolingian art, with works by artists associated with conceptual art, mininimal art, and land art. How and why has medieval art, and particularly early medieval art, inspired contemporary artists since the 1950s? What has medieval art contributed to contemporary art? How has medieval art's treatment of figures, color, space, geometry, and rhythm provided inspiration for contemporary artists' experiments with form? In what way does contemporary artists' engagement with the topics of formatting, writing, semiosis, mimesis, and ornamentation draw inspiration from medieval models? To what extent and in what sense are the notions of authorship and performativity relevant for understanding conceptions of artmaking in both periods? Rather than focusing on medievalism and citational practices, or on the theory of images?both approaches having already produced an important body of comparative readings of medieval and contemporary art?the essays in this volume address the question of medieval art's contemporaneity thematically, through three trans-chronological topics: authorship, semiosis and mathematics, and performance. Engaging the artists' works as well as their writings, these studies conflate conceptual and esthetic perspectives.

Th�odulf d?Orl�ans (vers 760-821). Histoire et m�moire d?un �v�que carolingien
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, 291 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:3 col., 4 tables b/w., Language: French. ISBN: 9782503601588
Summary Parmi les lettr�s entr�s au service de Charlemagne � la fin du VIIIe si�cle, Th�odulf est une figure � la fois repr�sentative et singuli�re. Par ses productions et ses fonctions de missus, d'�v�que, d'abb�, il contribue � l'�laboration et � la mise en ?uvre des r�formes et fait partie des proches du souverain. Sa d�position en 818 jette cependant une ombre sur sa carri�re et sur ce qu'il est possible d'en reconstituer. � partir de l'�tude de son ?uvre et des variations de son image dans les sources du premier Moyen �ge, y compris manuscrites, cet ouvrage examine les diff�rentes facettes de son action et de son parcours, comme lettr� et comme pr�lat, et met en lumi�re le jeu d'�chelles qui caract�rise les r�formes carolingiennes. Gr�ce � l'analyse de son environnement relationnel, la participation de Th�odulf � la r�volte de Bernard d'Italie et sa disgr�ce font l'objet de nouvelles hypoth�ses.

The Llanthony Stories. A Translation of the Narrationes aliquot fabulosae
Brepols, 2021. Paperback, x + 173 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Language: English. ISBN: 9780888443090
Summary Compiled in the early thirteenth century, The Llanthony Stories is a fragmentary collection of exemplaria gathered by an anonymous canon at the Augustinian priory of Llanthony Secunda, Gloucester. While intended primarily for the edification of readers and those who heard the stories preached in sermons, many of the thirty-five exempla offer humorous (even ribald) glimpses of life in the Severn watershed and beyond. Filled with short tales of greedy archdeacons, licentious monks, pious laymen and prelates trying to navigate their world with decorum and piety, the work expands our knowledge of ecclesiastical politics and evangelical priorities in the Anglo-Norman church. Although the work survives in a single manuscript witness, it has long been known to historians and scholars of medieval literature. This volume makes the collection available in modern English for the first time. The translation, accompanied by extensive notes, is complemented by a contextualizing historical introduction and an edition of the Latin text.

From the Domesday Book to Shakespeare?s Globe. The Legal and Political Heritage of Elizabethan Drama
Brepols, 2023. Hardback, 456 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 col., Language: English. ISBN: 9782503601311
Summary The phrase 'Jus Uncommon' summarizes England's claim to independence from Europe, a claim supported by its unique legal system and Elizabethan theatre, and their strong interconnexion. Elizabethan tragedy begins at the Inns of Court. It was no mere coincidence, but a result of the long history of intersecting processes of law, politics, and theatre. This book sets out to contextualize and explore such legal and literary intersections, charting the emergence of Elizabethan legal culture from its various English and European sources over the course of the four hundred years running from Magna Carta to Shakespeare. It encompasses the major strands of legal history and culture that formed the background to Elizabethan political drama, republican tradition, theories of monarchical sovereignty,?European and English theories of?imperium,?pedagogical and rhetorical practices of the Inns of Court,?legal-antiquarian research, parliamentary privilege, and Tudor political pamphleteering. Legal texts, discourses, and social practices constructed a pervasive intellectual culture from which Elizabethan drama - like Shakespeare's - emerged. Shakespeare is not the central object of this study, but he is central to its argument. What he knew about law was what collective memory had stored from centuries past at home and abroad. The issues, characters, themes, theories, and metaphors dramatized by the Elizabethan playwrights followed the way opened at the Inns. Emblematic figures of lawyers-writers and their Senecan patterns paved the way to Gorboduc and to Shakespeare's histories. TABLE OF CONTENTS Editorial Note Introduction : Law or Liberty? Part I.

The Materiality of Sound in Chant Manuscripts in the West. Scriptor, Cantor & Notator (Volume I)
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, 328 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:107 b/w, 33 tables b/w., 2 maps b/w, Language(s):English, Italian, French. ISBN: 9782503606149
Summary Scriptor, Cantor & Notator is an innovative multi-author project dealing with the complex interconnections between learning, writing and performing chant in the Middle Ages. A number of different methodological approaches have been employed, with the aim of beginning to understand the phenomenon of chant transmission over a large geographical area, linking and contrasting modern definitions of East and West. Thus, in spite of this wide geographical spread, and the consequent variety of rites, languages and musical styles involved, the common thread of parallels and similarities between various chant repertoires arising from the need to fix oral repertories in a written form, and the challenges involved in so doing, are what bring this wide variety of repertoires and approaches together. This multi-centric multi-disciplinary approach will encourage scholars working in these areas to consider their work as part of a much larger geographical and historical picture, and thus reveal to reader and listener more, and far richer, patterns of connections and developments than might otherwise have been suspected. Scriptor, Cantor & Notator is published in two books. The first, The Materiality of Sound in Chant Manuscripts in the West, brings together articles on several different families of early music scripts in the Latin West and provides a vividly diverse picture of some of the best current scholarship on the various types of ancient and medieval musical notation.

Frits van Oostrom
De Reynaert leven met een middeleeuws meesterwerk
Prometheus, 2023. 1. Hardcover, 592 pag. NL, 235 x 160 x 45 mm, Nieuw, met ill. ISBN: 9789044642674
Van den vos Reynaerde geldt als h�t meesterwerk van onze middeleeuwse letterkunde, en misschien wel van de hele Nederlandse literatuur. Wat is het geheim van deze klassieker, die in elke tijd ook leest als een moderne roman, en die zoveel heeft betekend voor zovelen? Met de eruditie van de kenner en het enthousiasme van de liefhebber besloot Frits van Oostrom om een boek te wijden aan de Reynaert, met het doel te laten zien wat deze tekst zo uniek maakt voor al die generaties lezers en onderzoekers die ? soms op het obsessieve af ? met de Reynaert hebben geleefd. En uiteindelijk gaat het ook over Van Oostroms eigen levenslange omgang met onze beroemdste middeleeuwer: een vos. De Reynaert. Leven met een middeleeuws meesterwerk biedt in zijn breedte en diepte een weergaloos panorama van literatuur, geschiedenis en wetenschap. Met een nieuwe editie naar alle bronnen van de Middelnederlandse tekst, door Ingrid Biesheuvel en Frits van Oostrom. Frits van Oostrom is universiteitshoogleraar te Utrecht. Hij ontving talloze prijzen en eerbewijzen, waaronder de AKO Literatuurprijs, de Spinozaprijs en in Vlaanderen de Keizer Karelprijs en de Gouden Penning van de Belgische Academie van Wetenschappen. Zijn meest recente boek, Nobel streven, werd in 2018 bekroond met de Libris Geschiedenis Prijs.

Die 'Genuesische Weltkarte von 1457'. Bild und Stimme einer ambiguen Welt
Brepols, 2024. Hardback, 504 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:33 b/w, 17 col., 4 tables b/w., Language(s):German, Latin. ISBN: 9782503601892
Summary Dieses Buch lenkt den Fokus auf die Rolle vormoderner Karten als potenzielle Stimmen, die �berzeugungen und Handlungsaufforderungen vermittelten. Es stellt ein neues Konzept zur Analyse vormoderner Karte vor und setzt es am Beispiel der sogenannten 'Genuesischen Weltkarte' von 1457 um, einer anonymen, dem nordmediterranen Raum entstammenden Karte, von der weder der genaue Erstellungsort noch der unmittelbare Nutzungskontext bekannt sind. Im ausgehenden Mittelalter besch�ftigten sich verschiedenartige Kreise intensiv mit geographischen und kartographischen Fragen. Zus�tzlich zu den Zeugnissen gelehrter M�nche und Kleriker wird nun das Interesse von weltlichen Gelehrten, F�rsten, Notaren, H�ndlern, Seefahrern und humanistischen Zirkeln an Karten greifbarer. Angeregt wurde dieses Interesse durch das Anwachsen des Wissens �ber die Welt. Lateineurop�ische Reisende und Gesandte aus fernen L�ndern berichteten �ber ihre Erfahrungen aus Asien und Afrika. Fr�he Humanisten fanden Handschriften fast vergessener antiker Werke wieder, so dass sich der Blick auf das Autorit�tenwissen �nderte. Insbesondere die sp�testens 1409 fertiggestellte lateinische �bersetzung der ?Geographia' des Alexandriner Astronomen Klaudios Ptolemaios machte Furore und wird in der Forschung als Ansto� einschneidender Ver�nderungen der Kartographie gesehen. Der Abgleich der 'Genuesischen Weltkarte' mit Karten aus �ber 130 Archivsignaturen zeigt, dass sie sich in mehrfacher Hinsicht von den �blichen Karten des 14./15. Jahrhunderts der nordmediterranen Region abhebt. Ihre Kartenmacher waren keine konventionellen Ersteller von K�stenlinienkarten oder Serienkarten. Vielmehr waren sie humanistisch interessiert, mathematisch gebildet und entstammten wahrscheinlich dem Umfeld der Kurie und des Konzils von Ferrara-Florenz (1438-1445). Es greift zu kurz, ihre innovative Anlehnung an Ptolemaios als Verengung des Fokus rein auf topographische Genauigkeit zu deuten, vielmehr zeichneten sie ein raumzeitliches, als koh�rente heilsgeschichtliche Erz�hlung zu verstehendes Bild der Welt.

Music in the Carolingian World. Witnesses to a Metadiscipline, Essays in Honor of Charles M. Atkinson
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, 455 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:33 b/w, 12 col., 19 tables b/w., 23 musical examples, Language(s):English, French. ISBN: 9782503603308
Summary Music in the Carolingian World stems from a conference honoring the career and wide-ranging research of Prof. Charles M. Atkinson, leading scholar in early-medieval studies and author of the award-winning monograph, The Critical Nexus (2010). The volume brings together seventeen essays to explore the broad ramifications of music as an arena of study in early-medieval culture; taken together, they manifest the status of music not just as a field of research, but as a metadiscipline that embraces numerous fields and specializations in medieval studies, including philosophy, theology, literature, philology, paleography, liturgy, education, political and institutional history, as well as the practice, theory, and transmission of chant and related musical repertories. The essays are grouped into the four thematic categories of Verbum, Numerus, Ars, and Cultus, bookended by three keynote essays that touch in different ways on the theme of metadisciplinarity.

Summary Il regno di Pipino, figlio di Carlo Magno, � stato a lungo trascurato dalla ricerca storica, nonstante la sua importanza per l'Italia, le regioni transalpine e il mondo carolingio nel suo insieme. I contributi qui raccolti, esito di due convegni tenutisi a Trento e a Vienna, mettono in luce con approcci diversi e innovativi i molteplici aspetti della cultura del suo regno, la sua azione politica e militare e la rappresentazione che ne diedero i contemporanei. Questo volume, pertanto, offre un sguardo inedito su Pipino; nuove prospettive di ricerca su un sovrano dimenticato.

New Perspectives on the 'Civil Wars' in Medieval Scandinavia
Brepols, 2024. Hardback, 448 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:11 b/w, Language: English. ISBN: 9782503601502
Summary In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, Scandinavia was rocked by an ongoing period of ?civil war?, conflicts traditionally characterized by medieval historians as internal struggles that took place in the context of predominantly national, state-centred, political and constitutional frameworks. This volume, however, aims to overturn these established narratives, with carefully curated essays written by experts in the field offering a new pan-Scandinavian perspective on the period in question that emphasizes the importance of fluid, often overlapping social networks, permeable borders between realms, and constant underlying hostilities between rival groups. Through detailed examinations of pivotal moments in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish history, together with analyses of topographical patterns, gender issues, diplomacy, and three contributions that draw parallels within similar conflicts outside of Scandinavia, this book provides an important corrective to teleological narratives of the medieval ?civil wars? as a necessary stage on the route to state formation and modernity.

University of Toronto Press 1997, 1997. 1. Hardcover, 244 pages, English, 300 x 230 mm, a fine copy, with many illustrations in colour, . ISBN: 9780802043467
Illuminated manuscripts are among the richest and most revealing relics of the pre-print Western world, and are central to our understanding of medieval social and cultural history. The British Library boasts the world's finest collection of medieval manuscripts, and in this new and lavishly illustrated survey, Janet Backhouse draws on these collections to provide a comprehensive introduction to these exciting and colourful materials.The manuscripts featured include bestiaries, psalters, Bibles, books of hours, and medical and herbal collections that originated in workrooms as geographically diverse as the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria and the Crusader kingdom of Jerusalem. There is also a great chronological diversity among the selected manuscripts, with examples ranging from the seventh century AD and the Lindisfarne Gospels to early Renaissance offerings.Each of the almost 220 illluminations presented are accompanied by a caption and have been reproduced in colour. Many of the immages chosen have been reproduced here for the first time.

Summary How did the least educated rows of the clergy get in touch with basic and more subtle religious teachings? Access to literacy was not the rule in the Early Middle Ages, but rather the exception. However, even the lowest rows of the Church were expected to be able to take care of their parishes. Therefore, the clergy was expected to be provided a certain knowledge. Oral transmission might have played the most important role in the formation of the lowest clergy. Still, several compositions have survived which might have also served this aim. These are rather simple, hardly original texts with friendly displays and oversimplified approaches to central matters of the Christian faith. Most of such compositions do not reach the highest standards of the time - nor do they attempt to do so. Yet, they are not mere personal notes for private use. They were surely meant to be circulated and to last - as they apparently did. This volume collects some of these texts, which appear to be related with one another in different ways. The collection, however, is not and could not be intended to be complete.

Summary En 1994, Fran�ois-Joseph Leroy publiait vingt-deux sermons in�dits, qu'il attribua � un contemporain d'Augustin et dans lesquels il vit une collection, non apolog�tique et non pol�mique, de textes donatistes. C'�tait l� une d�couverte exceptionnelle. Pourtant, depuis l'�dition provisoire de Leroy, la recherche ne s'est gu�re pench�e sur ce corpus. C'est la raison pour laquelle le Groupe de Recherches sur l'Afrique Antique (GRAA) a entrepris une nouvelle �dition critique de ces 22 sermons, accompagn�e de la premi�re traduction annot�e, et rassembl� autour de ce corpus les contributions de diff�rents sp�cialistes, historiens et litt�raires, pour en analyser tant la langue, le style et les proc�d�s homil�tiques que la port�e suppos�e donatiste, la spiritualit� et la th�ologie.

Fr�res et soeurs dans l'Europe du haut Moyen �ge (vers 650 - vers 1000)
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, 440 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:33 b/w, 9 col., 7 tables b/w., 5 maps color, Language: French. ISBN: 9782503604961
Summary Les relations entre fr�res et s?urs constituent encore un champ mal explor� de l'�tude de la famille pour la p�riode allant de 650 � 1000. Pourtant, ce lien est un �l�ment essentiel des soci�t�s du haut Moyen �ge, tant dans les mondes franc et germanique qu'en Angleterre. Dans les discours de l'�glise, il est m�me un id�al. En outre, dans le contexte d�mographique m�di�val, la relation adelphique - c'est-�-dire entre fr�res et s?urs - est souvent la plus p�renne : face � la mort pr�coce des parents et � un veuvage fr�quent, elle accompagne les individus tout au long de leur existence. �tudier les relations adelphiques est �galement une mani�re d'envisager les relations entre hommes et femmes gr�ce aux derni�res avanc�es de recherche sur le genre. Pour �tudier ces liens sp�cifiques, il convient de s'int�resser � une large documentation et d'emprunter aux outils de la sociologie et de l'anthropologie. La relation adelphique appara�t alors une donn�e importante des soci�t�s du haut Moyen �ge et que son �tude permet de complexifier l'histoire de la famille sur cette p�riode.

La loi salique. Retour aux manuscrits
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, 430 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:8 b/w, 28 col., 13 tables b/w., Language: French. ISBN: 9782503599861
Summary La loi salique a �t� l'objet d'une attention approfondie � la fin du Moyen �ge, o� elle fut utilis�e par les partisans du roi de France pour justifier les successions royales et l'�viction du roi d'Angleterre, aussi bien qu'� l'�poque moderne et contemporaine, car les �rudits y ont cherch� l'expression des coutumes germaniques originelles. Pour autant, elle n'a fait l'objet que d'une �dition partielle et les manuscrits qui la comportent, copi�s � '�poque carolingienne, n'ont encore jamais fait l'objet d'une �tude syst�matique. L'�tude revient sur les conditions de l'�chec d'une �dition scientifique de la loi salique, au milieu du XXe si�cle, puis se consacre aux t�moins manuscrits, copi�s apr�s 750. La comparaison d�taill�e des diff�rentes versions du texte et des diff�rents recueils manuscrits jette un nouvel �clairage sur l'histoire compliqu�e de ce texte. La loi salique constituait, au VIIIe, un ensemble d'articles aux contours flous, dont l'association � l'autorit� royale m�rovingienne n'emp�chait la libert� de composition de chaque copiste, qui �laborait son propre assemblage des articles juridiques. Toutes les versions de la loi salique �taient consid�r�es comme valables et ce n'est qu'� partir du r�gne de Louis le Pieux que la version la plus r�cente du texte fut pr�f�r�e aux autres, probablement en raison de sa clart�. Le nombre important de copies de petit format du texte, dans la premi�re moiti� du IXe si�cle, semble montrer le recours courant � la loi salique par les d�tenteurs de l'autorit� dans l'ensemble de l'empire carolingien.

Krijgers Voor God : De Orde Van De Tempeliers In De Lage Landen (1120-1312)
Davidsfonds 2007 Walburg Pers, 2007. 1. Paperback, 242 pagina's, NL, 240 x 165 mm, in prima staat, . ISBN: 9789081129718
Fascinerende geschiedenis van de tempeliers in onze gewesten. Christen ridders of gewetenloze onruststokers? Historicus geeft een genuanceerd beeld van de tempeliers. Het conflict in het Midden-Oosten en de Da Vinci Code: ze hebben kruistochten en ridderorden als grondslag. Maar waar eindigt de mythe en begint de realiteit? Dit boek stelt scherp op de orde van de tempeliers. Wie waren die mysterieuze krijgers voor God? En vooral: welke rol speelden zij in de Lage Landen? 1120. Negen ridders, onder wie de Vlaming Godfried van Sint-Omaars, leggen kloostergeloften af. Ze zullen de pelgrims, die naar Jeruzalem toestromen, beschermen tegen moslims. De orde van de tempeliers, tegelijkertijd religieus �n militair, is een feit. De verre Nederlanden worden een logistieke en financi�le draaischijf van de orde. Hier werven de tempeliers rekruten, ze verwerven er vastgoed, drijven handel, boeren en bankieren? Speelt die rijkdom een rol in het doodvonnis van de tempeliers? In 1312 wordt de orde op bevel van Filips de Schone afgeschaft.

Le catalan m�di�val
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, 705 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:3 b/w, 6 col., Language: French. ISBN: 9782503593524
Summary The aim of this book is twofold. Firstly, it follows the emergence of the Catalan language, its appearance in the written field and its evolution. Secondly, it defines and analyses a textual topology of the Catalan language and establishes a chronological and geographical differentiation in its expansion. An introductory chapter, written by a linguist, povides a rigorous account of the appearance and evolution of the Catalan language until it became the common language of the Catalans. This is followed by a bibliography that provides an extensive overview of the working tools of the Catalan language, such as manuals, dictionaries, grammars and critical text editions. The second part, consisting of eight chapters, defines and closely analyses a typology of medieval Catalan texts. Cet ouvrage se propose d'�tudier le catalan m�di�val et de constituer une synth�se sur son �volution et sur les diff�rents types de sources o� il s'est illustr�. Il offre ainsi une �tude linguistique et historique de la langue catalane et consid�re son �mergence, son apparition dans le champ de l'�criture et son expansion, qui l'a conduite � devenir la langue commune des Catalans, de ceux qui vivent en Catalogne comme de ceux qui habitent d'autres espaces. La premi�re partie du volume propose une introduction � la langue catalane o� se trouvent expos�es de mani�re syst�matique tant les conditions de son apparition que les modalit�s de son �volution : l'objectif est de d�crire et mettre en valeur la sp�cificit� du catalan m�di�val et les r�gles qui encadrent sont usage. Cette �tude est compl�t�e par une bibliographie critique qui recense les principaux outils de recherche. La seconde partie, compos�e de huit chapitres, pr�sente une large typologie de textes r�dig�s en catalan au cours du Moyen �ge, qu'il s'agisse d'oeuvres litt�raires sacr�es et profanes, ou d'�crits tir�s des abondantes archives de Catalogne. Sont successivement pr�sent�s des documents �clairant les rapports f�odaux, les soci�t�s urbaines, le pouvoir royal et les relations �pistolaires famili�res. La construction d'une m�moire catalane, ainsi que les mani�res de croire, de penser et de ressentir, sont �galement saisies � travers l'examen des chroniques, des textes religieux, de la litt�rature et des �crits documentant l'histoire de l'art. L'ouvrage rend ainsi accessible de mani�re critique une documentation foisonnante, largement in�dite, qui fait conna�tre la richesse du Moyen �ge catalan consid�r� sur pr�s de cinq si�cles.

Writing the Twilight. The Arabic Poetics of Ageing in Medieval Sicily and al-Andalus
Brepols, 2023. Hardback, x + 190 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language(s):English, Arabic. ISBN: 9782503600536
Summary In the eleventh century, as Muslim sovereignty in the Western Mediterranean was eroded by both internal divisions and external attacks, Sicily fell to the Normans. At the same time, al-Andalus fragmented into a series of small kingdoms that were then picked off by powerful conquerors. Against this backdrop, Arabic poets made use of their craft to try and explain the changes in their world. Among them were the Andalusian Ab? Ish?q and the Sicilian Ibn Hamd?s, both of whom wrote vividly about their own ageing and mortality, as well as about the broader twilight of the worlds they knew. Taking these two protagonists as its starting point, this extraordinary volume explores how Ab? Ish?q and Ibn Hamd?s, despite their different locations, both made use of poetry. For them, it was a tool to confront their mortality, lament their own physical decay, and appeal to their age and experience, as well as a way of juxtaposing their concerns with the political and social dismemberment of their wider societies and the need for a restoration of world order. The result is also a broader discussion of the relationship between poetry and politics in Maghrib? Islam, and a reminder of poetry's importance as a medium to engage with the world.

Alternative Facts and Plausible Fictions in the Northern European Past. How Politics and Culture Have Written and Rewritten History
Brepols, 2024. Hardback, 192 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:18 b/w, 10 col., Language: English. ISBN: 9782503605753
Summary The use of the past for contemporary purposes has been a feature of historical and archaeological investigation from ancient times. This 'politicization of the past' is often associated with, at best, an inadvertent detachment from an objective use of evidence, and at worst, its wilful misuse. Such use of the past is perhaps most evident in the construction of narratives of nations and ethnic groups ? particularly in relation to origins or the perceived 'golden ages' of peoples. This book seeks to assess the role played by different ideologies in the shaping of the past, from early times up until the present day, in the interpretation of the history and archaeology of Northern Europe, whether in Northern Europe itself or further afield. It also considers how those who research, interpret, and present the Northern European past should respond to such uses. The chapters drawn together here explore key questions, asking how contemporary ideologies of identity have shaped the past, what measures should be taken to discourage an inaccurate understanding of the past, and if scholars should draw on the past in order to counter racism and xenophobia, or if this can itself lead to potentially dangerous misunderstandings of history.

Medieval Translations and their Readers
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, 364 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:17 b/w, Language: English. ISBN: 9782503591902
Summary The papers gathered in this volume focus on 'Medieval Translations and their Readership', the special strand of the 11th Cardiff Conference on the Theory and Practice of Translation in the Middle Ages. The volume discusses the role of the reader in the process of translation, communities of readers and their active participation in translators' choices, and the translation as a result of a dialogue between author, text and its reader. Translations of works of theology and religious education, the focus of most of the contributions to this volume, constitute excellent material for research into medieval lay audiences. Vernacular religious educational texts from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century show a great deal of conformity. Individual authors resorted to similar strategies and techniques to meet any translation challenges, to fulfil educational aims, or to relate to their readers and to accommodate their expectations. Simultaneously, the readers played a crucial role as they shaped the production of texts in many ways. Research into Middle English pastoral and devotional literature and the conditions of its production still dominates scholarly work in the field. Religious texts in vernaculars other than Middle English have so far received little attention. This volume tries to tackle this lacuna by offering a careful comparative analysis of relevant vernacular texts across Europe, including Slavonic works, using historiographical, philological, and linguistic methods as well as literary scholarly approaches. The sixteen chapters are organized in three sections. The first one, 'Authors and Readers', brings together articles examining the idea of a model reader as expressed in translations of biblical texts and texts of religious instruction. The contributions in the second section, on the 'Dissimination of Knowledge', focus on how translators addressed readers, how people read, and how they used the manuscripts and printed books made for them. The target audience or model reader of the first section is here put into perspective with the help of discussions of reading practices. The last section, 'Religious Education in Transition', comprises contributions which focus on textual material from the period when printed books gradually changed, the relationship between languages, texts, authors, and readers.

Les for�ts princi�res dans le comt� de Bourgogne aux XIVe et XVe si�cles
Brepols, 2024. Paperback, 256 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:7 maps b/w, Language: French. ISBN: 9782503595542
Summary Membre du Saint-Empire romain germanique depuis 1032, le comt� de Bourgogne fut rattach� au duch� d'outre-Sa�ne de 1330 � 1361 et de 1384 � 1477. Cette double union bourguignonne se traduisit, entre autres, par la cr�ation d'un office (la gruerie) charg� des eaux et for�ts princi�res. L'institution et les eaux ayant donn� lieu � la publication de deux ouvrages sp�cifiques, ce troisi�me volume termine le triptyque d�crivant un aspect important du domaine comtal. La principale caract�ristique de la sylve princi�re �tait l'absence de r�sineux. L'exploitation des chartes de franchises, de la comptabilit� de la gruerie et d'une remarquable s�rie de terriers (1454-1476) permet une �tude pr�cise des feuillus. Leur description n�cessite la localisation des for�ts par ch�tellenie, l'�valuation parfois de leur superficie, et l'analyse des peuplements. Quatre essences l'emport�rent sur les autres: ch�nes, h�tres, pommiers et poiriers. Cette approche est compl�t�e par le statut juridique des bois. Utilisant ces derniers, les princes et Marguerite de France donn�rent des arbres, en vendirent pour diverses raisons. Mais leurs for�ts form�rent aussi une r�serve de combustible (les salines de Salins �tant les principales consommatrices). Quant aux animaux sauvages, ils furent chass�s, seuls les porcs donn�rent lieu � la �paisson�, source importante du �pesnaige� (redevance). Pendant toute la p�riode, la protection des for�ts se traduisit par un personnel et une justice efficaces. Les �mesusants� (d�linquants) comparurent devant des juges dans le cadre des �jours� pour �tre condamn�s � des amendes. Peut-on parler de sylviculture?

Three Writings on Mystical Theology: Exposition of the Mystical Theology, Commentary on the Canticle of Canticles, On the Seven Steps of Contemplation. With Accompanying Translations and an Introduction
Brepols, 2024. Paperback, 533 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language(s):English, Latin. ISBN: 9782503607337
Summary This volume contains a newly-edited exposition on the Mystical Theology contained in MS UV6 of the Biblioteca degli Intronati in Siena. The MS attributes the work to the abbot of Vercelli (Thomas Gallus), but this is shown to be a false attribution. A commentary on the Canticle of Canticles has also been attributed to Thomas Gallus but argued against by J. Barbet in Brepols' SRSA volume 10 (2005). This commentary is reprinted and accompanied with the first ever English translation. A treatise on the Seven Steps to Contemplation in Latin with an English translation is the third text. An introductory critical study evaluates all three works and argues that they all belong to the same author, pseudo-Thomas Gallus.

Opera latina XL (76-79). Parisiis anno 1298 composita
Brepols, 2024. Hardback, lxxxv + 610 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Illustrations:1 col., 3 tables b/w., Language(s):Latin, Spanish, German. ISBN: 9782503606385
Summary During his second stay in Paris (1297-1299), Ramon Llull developed an extraordinary literary activity writing 16 works, some of them of considerable length. His attention was once again focused on the presentation of the Art, either to summarize it in accordance with the new changes he had introduced (beginning with the Tabula generalis, op. 53, ROL XXVII), or to present it as a method of renewal of the particular sciences (astronomy and geometry) or as an instrument in the debate on the errors condemned by the bishop of Paris in 1277. The four works presented in this volume are examples of this activity. The Disputatio Eremitae et Raimundi (op. 76) not only represents Llull's closest approximation to the university style of studying the science of theology, based on the Sentences of Peter Lombard, but also the most radical application of his Art as opposed to any discussion fed by the exegesis of "auctoritates". In Arbor philosophiae amoris (op. 77), on the other hand, the application of the Art follows the intent of his previous Ars amativa boni (op. 46, ROL XXIX), thus revealing the intimate connection between the austerity of the artistic language and the exuberance of the contemplative language, the true hallmark of Lullian mysticism. The Consolatio Venetorum (op. 78) illustrates the innovative approach that the Lullian project offers for the moral and political life of the Church. There is no medieval Latin manuscript tradition of the Cantus Raimundi (op. 79).

New Latin Contexts for Old English Homilies: Editions and Studies of Ten Sources and Analogues
Brepols, 2024. Hardback, xii + 504 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Language: English. ISBN: 9780888442338
Summary This book sheds new light on the Latin background of various Old English homilies, and of certain homilies from related vernacular traditions. Two broad themes are treated, the Nativity of Christ and Christian eschatology; the volume contains five Latin texts dealing with each theme. Critical editions, full English translations, and detailed introductions and commentaries are included, as well as case studies that demonstrate the relevance of each text to one or more homilies written in Old English, and, in a few cases, early Middle English and Old Norse. While the volume is intended for scholars of early English preaching, many of the texts hold considerable intrinsic interest and should have general appeal for medievalists, students of preaching, and those working on the transmission of biblical apocrypha in the Latin West.

Mystics, Goddesses, Lovers, and Teachers. Medieval Visions and their Legacies. Studies in Honour of Barbara Newman
Brepols, 2023. Hardback, 420 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 18 col., Language: English. ISBN: 9782503599748
Summary The conjunction of medieval religious studies and gender studies in the past several decades has produced not only nuanced attention to medieval mystics and religious thinkers, but a transformation in the study of medieval culture more broadly. This volume showcases new investigations of mysticism and religious writing in the Middle Ages and the early modern period. It also presents groundbreaking explorations of the feminized divine, from medieval to modern, and the many debts of medieval secular texts and cultures to the religious world that surrounded them. Medieval crossover also defines this volume: the contributors examine the crossovers between male and female, cloister and saeculum, divine and human, and vernacular and Latin that characterized so much of the complexity of medieval literary culture. These collected chapters examine mystics from Hildegard of Bingen and Juliana of Cornillon to Richard Rolle, Julian of Norwich, and Tom�s de Jes�s; the modern theologies of Philip K. Dick and Charles Williams; goddesses like Fame, Dame Courtesy, and Mother Church; and the role of religious belief in shaping conceptions of pacifism, obscenity, authorship, and bodily integrity. Together, they show the extraordinary impact of Barbara Newman's scholarship across a range of fields and some of the new areas of investigation opened by her work. Contributors: Jerome E.
