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.

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.

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 hét 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 Überzeugungen 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 beschäftigten sich verschiedenartige Kreise intensiv mit geographischen und kartographischen Fragen. Zusätzlich zu den Zeugnissen gelehrter Mönche und Kleriker wird nun das Interesse von weltlichen Gelehrten, Fürsten, Notaren, Händlern, Seefahrern und humanistischen Zirkeln an Karten greifbarer. Angeregt wurde dieses Interesse durch das Anwachsen des Wissens über die Welt. Lateineuropäische Reisende und Gesandte aus fernen Ländern berichteten über ihre Erfahrungen aus Asien und Afrika. Frühe Humanisten fanden Handschriften fast vergessener antiker Werke wieder, so dass sich der Blick auf das Autoritätenwissen änderte. Insbesondere die spätestens 1409 fertiggestellte lateinische Übersetzung der ?Geographia' des Alexandriner Astronomen Klaudios Ptolemaios machte Furore und wird in der Forschung als Anstoß einschneidender Veränderungen der Kartographie gesehen. Der Abgleich der 'Genuesischen Weltkarte' mit Karten aus über 130 Archivsignaturen zeigt, dass sie sich in mehrfacher Hinsicht von den üblichen Karten des 14./15. Jahrhunderts der nordmediterranen Region abhebt. Ihre Kartenmacher waren keine konventionellen Ersteller von Küstenlinienkarten 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 kohärente heilsgeschichtliche Erzählung 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.

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.

Buchmalerei ist die Kunst oder das Handwerk, das sich mit der Illustration und Dekoration mittelalterlicher Handschriften und anderer Dokumente befasst. Manchmal wird dies auch ?Illuminati? genannt, vom lateinischen illuminare, was ?erleuchten? bedeutet, obwohl sich ?Illumination? streng genommen auf das ?Ausleuchten? von Manuskripten mit Blattgold oder Silber bezieht. Übrigens bedeutet erleuchten im Frühmittelholländischen: mit Gold oder Farben absetzen; Einsicht bringen; entlasten. Im modernen Niederländisch ist dies zu einem Ventilieren geworden

Les sermons du manuscrit de Vienne (ÖNB Ms lat. 4147). Interrogations sur leur unité, leur datation et leur origine avec une nouvelle édition critique et une traduction annotée des vingt-deux sermons Leroy
Brepols, 2024. Hardback, 451 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 col., Language(s):French, Latin. ISBN: 9782503610948
Summary En 1994, François-Joseph Leroy publiait vingt-deux sermons inédits, qu'il attribua à un contemporain d'Augustin et dans lesquels il vit une collection, non apologétique et non polémique, de textes donatistes. C'était là une découverte exceptionnelle. Pourtant, depuis l'édition provisoire de Leroy, la recherche ne s'est guère penchée sur ce corpus. C'est la raison pour laquelle le Groupe de Recherches sur l'Afrique Antique (GRAA) a entrepris une nouvelle édition critique de ces 22 sermons, accompagnée de la première traduction annotée, et rassemblé autour de ce corpus les contributions de différents spécialistes, historiens et littéraires, pour en analyser tant la langue, le style et les procédés homilétiques que la portée supposée donatiste, la spiritualité et la théologie.

Frères et soeurs dans l'Europe du haut Moyen Âge (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 frères et s?urs constituent encore un champ mal exploré de l'étude de la famille pour la période allant de 650 à 1000. Pourtant, ce lien est un élément essentiel des sociétés du haut Moyen Âge, tant dans les mondes franc et germanique qu'en Angleterre. Dans les discours de l'Église, il est même un idéal. En outre, dans le contexte démographique médiéval, la relation adelphique - c'est-à-dire entre frères et s?urs - est souvent la plus pérenne : face à la mort précoce des parents et à un veuvage fréquent, elle accompagne les individus tout au long de leur existence. Étudier les relations adelphiques est également une manière d'envisager les relations entre hommes et femmes grâce aux dernières avancées de recherche sur le genre. Pour étudier ces liens spécifiques, il convient de s'intéresser à une large documentation et d'emprunter aux outils de la sociologie et de l'anthropologie. La relation adelphique apparaît alors une donnée importante des sociétés du haut Moyen Âge et que son étude permet de complexifier l'histoire de la famille sur cette période.

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 én militair, is een feit. De verre Nederlanden worden een logistieke en financiële 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.

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.

Les forêts princières dans le comté de Bourgogne aux XIVe et XVe siècles
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 comté de Bourgogne fut rattaché au duché d'outre-Saône de 1330 à 1361 et de 1384 à 1477. Cette double union bourguignonne se traduisit, entre autres, par la création d'un office (la gruerie) chargé des eaux et forêts princières. L'institution et les eaux ayant donné lieu à la publication de deux ouvrages spécifiques, ce troisième volume termine le triptyque décrivant un aspect important du domaine comtal. La principale caractéristique de la sylve princière était l'absence de résineux. L'exploitation des chartes de franchises, de la comptabilité de la gruerie et d'une remarquable série de terriers (1454-1476) permet une étude précise des feuillus. Leur description nécessite la localisation des forêts par châtellenie, l'évaluation parfois de leur superficie, et l'analyse des peuplements. Quatre essences l'emportèrent sur les autres: chênes, hêtres, pommiers et poiriers. Cette approche est complétée par le statut juridique des bois. Utilisant ces derniers, les princes et Marguerite de France donnèrent des arbres, en vendirent pour diverses raisons. Mais leurs forêts formèrent aussi une réserve de combustible (les salines de Salins étant les principales consommatrices). Quant aux animaux sauvages, ils furent chassés, seuls les porcs donnèrent lieu à la «paisson», source importante du «pesnaige» (redevance). Pendant toute la période, la protection des forêts se traduisit par un personnel et une justice efficaces. Les «mesusants» (délinquants) comparurent devant des juges dans le cadre des «jours» pour être condamnés à 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.

Raimundus Lullus, Fernando Domínguez Reboiras (ed), Jordi Gayà Estelrich (ed)
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 Tomás de Jesús; 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.
