Medieval Francophone Literary Culture Outside France
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for:Medieval Francophone Literary Culture Outside France show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for: Medieval Francophone Literary Culture Outside FranceIn medieval Europe, cultural, political, and linguistic identities rarely coincided with modern national borders. As early as the end of the twelfth century, French rose to prominence as a lingua franca that could facilitate communication between people, regardless of their origin, background, or community. Between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries, literary works were written or translated into French not only in France but also across Europe, from England and the Low Countries to as far afield as Italy, Cyprus, and the Holy Land. Many of these texts had a broad European circulation and for well over three hundred years they were transmitted, read, studied, imitated, and translated.
Drawing on the results of the AHRC-funded research project Medieval Francophone Literary Culture Outside France, this volume aims to reassess medieval literary culture and explore it in a European and Mediterranean setting. The book, incorporating nineteen papers by international scholars, explores the circulation and production of francophone texts outside of France along two major axes of transmission: one stretching from England and Normandy across to Flanders and Burgundy, and the other running across the Pyrenees and Alps from the Iberian Peninsula to the Levant. In doing so, it offers new insights into how francophone literature forged a place for itself, both in medieval textual culture and, more generally, in Western cultural spheres.

I saggi presentano i principali aspetti della speculazione di Anselmo, con particolare attenzione alle posizioni teologiche da lui sostenute, alla sua metodologia per la costruzione di un pensiero sistematico e razionale, e ai suoi orientamenti in materia di pedagogia, politica, logica, nonché alla sua concezione della vita monastica. Molti studi sono inoltre dedicati alla diffusione e all’influsso del suo pensiero: tracce della sua speculazione sono facilmente riconoscibili nei maggiori pensatori del secolo xii (a partire da Abelardo e Ugo di San Vittore) e giungono fino a Duns Scoto e Nicolò Cusano.
Per la varietà degli approcci d’indagine, e la profondità e l’attenzione delle analisi filosofiche e teologiche dei singoli contributi, il volume si propone di offrire una completa panoramica sullo stato degli studi su Anselmo e la cultura monastica del suo tempo.

Barbarian and Jews
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for:Barbarian and Jews show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for: Barbarian and JewsThe essays in this volume attempt to re-evaluate, understand and explain various aspects of Jewish history within the broader historical context of the post-Roman Barbarian world. They address a wide variety of topics, sources, and geographies, and together they provide a nuanced and more balanced history of the Jews in the early medieval West. Although written independently of one another by some of the most prominent historians of Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages, the various essays collected here reveal a remarkable tension between the ‘imaginary’ (or ‘hermeneutical’) Jew and the ‘real’ one. As this volume demonstrates, Augustine’s positive theological understanding of Jews and Judaism was often overshadowed by anti-Jewish sentiments, and consequently anti-Jewish invective remained the drive wheel of Christian theology, especially in the context of debates and polemics among the Christians themselves.

Booldly bot meekly

Since that first meeting, the Cardiff Conferences on the Theory and Practice of Translation in the Middle Ages have charted and drawn anew the parameters of scholarly debate on the topic, while their Proceedings, hosted since 1996 by Brepols’ Medieval Translator series, cumulatively present a body of work valuable to anyone interested in translation in its medieval, broadly European, manifestations.
The contributors of this volume’s essays, assembled in tribute to Roger Ellis on the occasion of his seventieth birthday, have profited from the intellectual opportunities the Medieval Translator conferences foster, and in particular from Roger’s friendship and academic acumen. The essays draw in many cases on Roger’s work to inform a collective project that reflects on his specific interests in translation, including latemedieval piety and Birgittine texts, scholarly editions and studies of genre, considering literary and linguistic relations within and across languages, registers, national boundaries, time and space, refining, even re-defining, our understanding of translation. We offer these essays with warm thanks to and appreciation of Roger Ellis for his work in this field, not least for establishing, with this conference series, a means to demonstrate that translation, and translation studies, is above all a question of different voices speaking productively in dialogue.

Byzantine Hagiography: Texts, Themes & Projects
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for:Byzantine Hagiography: Texts, Themes & Projects show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for: Byzantine Hagiography: Texts, Themes & ProjectsIn recent years Byzantine hagiography has attracted renewed interest of the international community of Byzantine scholars and not only thanks to studies dedicated to this subject and critical editions of individual texts, but also because hagiography has been the main focus of numerous major research projects: databases, new repertories, a new version of the Bibliotheca Hagiographica Graeca and some very useful handbooks dedicated to this literary genre during the Byzantine Empire. These researches have analysed Byzantine hagiography in relation to the hagiographic writings composed in neighbouring areas, the West, the Syriac and Arabic Middle East, the Southern Slavs, etc. but also the relations between the hagiographical texts and other literary genres.
This volume introduces the current developments of hagiographical studies and on-going projects on the subject, and investigates a variety of texts and authors from the Patristic period to the end of Byzantium.

Charlemagne : les temps, les espaces, les hommes

Les articles ne commémorent pas en Charlemagne le père de l’Europe ni le fondateur d’empire, mais ils situent le demi-siècle de son gouvernement dans un jeu d’échelle spatial et temporel qui fait la part des traditions et des innovations et qui donne une meilleure place aux périphéries et aux laboratoires qu’elles ont pu constituer. Il s’agit de se départir autant que possible du travers historiographique qui consiste, en privilégiant toujours les mêmes sources, à attribuer à l’homme et au règne des initiatives et des réalisations qui participent de temporalités et d’expériences diverses et qui ne naissent pas toutes entre Loire et Rhin. Par une relecture et une déconstruction des sources les plus variées, le règne, la période et les acteurs sont reconsidérés dans toute leur complexité chronologique et spatiale.

Concepts of Ideal Rulership from Antiquity to the Renaissance
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for:Concepts of Ideal Rulership from Antiquity to the Renaissance show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for: Concepts of Ideal Rulership from Antiquity to the RenaissanceAncient works On Kingship have received a lot of attention in recent scholarship, where the main focus is usually on classic works such as Seneca’s On Clemency, Isocrates’ Cyprian Orations or Dio of Prusa’s Kingship Orations. In this volume, we deliberately turn to the periphery, to the grey zone where matters usually prove more complicated. This volume focuses on authors who deal with analogous problems and raise similar questions in other contexts, authors who also address powerful rulers or develop ideals of right rulership but who choose very different literary genres to do so, or works on kingship that have almost been forgotten. Departing from well-trodden paths, we hope to contribute to the scholarly debate by bringing in new relevant material and confront it with well-known and oft-discussed classics. This confrontation even throws a new light upon the very notion of ‘mirrors for princes’. Moreover, the selection of peripheral texts from Antiquity to the Renaissance reveals several patterns in the evolution of the tradition over a longer period of time.

Coopétition
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for:Coopétition show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for: CoopétitionCe livre est centré sur la « coopétition », un concept qui désigne la capacité des acteurs à rivaliser et à coopérer simultanément. Certes, les sociétés du premier Moyen Âge sont des sociétés conflictuelles, qui développent souvent des formes de compétition agressive, mais le désir de paix est universel et la compétition ne détermine pas seulement un gagnant et un perdant. Les acteurs ont aussi eu intérêt à collaborer avec leurs rivaux, dans la perspective d’un gain réciproque (gagnant-gagnant) ou d’un profit futur, y compris dans l’au-delà. Pour comprendre les stratégies, le jeu qui se joue derrière les interactions compétitives et les bénéfices attendus, ce livre prend donc en compte les jeux d’échelle, les relations entre le centre et la périphérie, entre l’ici-bas et l’au-delà, mais aussi la capacité des autorités à développer le consensus et à susciter la confiance sans laquelle on ne peut prendre le risque de coopérer avec un rival. Il embrasse les différents espaces et le temps long, en se focalisant sur des périodes caractérisées par une alternance d’instabilité et de stabilité sur le plan politique. Il éclaire ainsi d’un jour nouveau le jeu de la compétition dans les sociétés du premier Moyen Âge.

Emotion and Medieval Textual Media
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for:Emotion and Medieval Textual Media show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for: Emotion and Medieval Textual MediaText is one of the most valuable and plentiful sources of information available to scholars interested in medieval emotion. The medieval world may have vanished centuries ago, and its human subjects with it, but a wealth of textual traces remains: sermons, romances, poems, plays, treatises, songs, inscriptions, graffiti, and much more. But how is emotion communicated and shaped by these different textual forms? That is the question at the heart of this collection of essays, which aims to open up our sense of what texts can contribute to the history of emotions by considering the variety of ways that texts can function as vehicles - media - for emotion.
The essays in this volume examine how literary and dramatic texts, chant, manuscript annotations, and material inscriptions mediate emotion - how they bring it about, communicate it, process it, and shape it via forms that act on various senses. Ranging between the eighth and fifteenth centuries and comprising contributions from scholars of musicology, Old English and Old Norse studies, material culture, Middle English literature, drama, and manuscript studies, the essays contained in this volume serve as a window onto the complex relationship between emotions and different textual forms.

Etymology and Wordplay in Medieval Literature
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for:Etymology and Wordplay in Medieval Literature show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for: Etymology and Wordplay in Medieval LiteratureIn modern scholarship, etymology and wordplay are rarely studied in tandem. In the Middle Ages, however, they were intrinsically related, and both feature prominently in medieval literature. Their functions are often at variance with the expectations of the modern reader, in particular when wordplay is used to arrive at crucial answers or to convey theological insights. The studies in this book therefore carry important implications for our understanding of the reception of medieval texts. The authors show how etymology and wordplay in the Middle Ages often served as an impetus for meditation and as a route to truth, but that they could also be put to more mundane uses, such as the bolstering of national pride. In a narrative context, the functions of etymology and wordplay could range from underlining the sexual bravado of the protagonist to being the key indicator of whether the hero would live or die.
This book presents case studies of the uses of etymology and wordplay in a number of medieval literatures (Latin, Old French, Middle High German, Italian, Old Irish, Old English, Old Norse, Slavic). By moving beyond the strictly etymological discourse into different parts of medieval literature, the functions of these devices are highlighted in various contexts. Their significance ranges from the bawdy to the sublime, from the open-ended to the specific. Classical and medieval developments of etymology and wordplay are described in a background chapter.

Le présent volume aborde ce thème avec pour but de mettre en lumière la manière dont les périodes de forte compétition sociale influent sur la place et la redéfinition des attributs sexués, en même temps que l’importance relative donnée à ceux-ci dans les situations de rivalité ou de compétition. La dizaine de travaux rassemblés présentent une vaste enquête sur la notion de genre dans l'historiographie moderne et dans les sources de la fin de l'Antiquité et du haut Moyen Âge avant d'analyser des exemples venus aussi bien de l'archéologie que des chroniques ou de l'hagiographie, essentiellement en Gaule et en Italie. Les auteurs montrent comment genres et régimes de genre sont des outils et des produits des crises et des compétitions, aussi bien pour les hommes que pour les femmes de l'Occident altimédiéval.

La controverse carolingienne sur la prédestination

Ce conflit entraîne la production de documents de tous genres : actes conciliaires, traités savants, libelles et feuilles volantes de polémique et de propagande, florilèges et autres notes préparatoires... Les manuscrits annotés par les acteurs de la controverse (Florus de Lyon, Hincmar de Reims, Loup de Ferrières, Prudence de Troyes, Ratramne de Corbie) sont préservés par dizaines. Ces documents n'ont pas encore été suffisamment étudiés pour ce qu'ils sont vraiment : les témoins d'une compétition acharnée, autour des textes et de leurs supports manuscrits, pour le contrôle de l'information. Pour comprendre les raisons sociales et politiques de la controverse, il faut entreprendre l'étude croisée, philologique et historique, de ces textes, de leurs sources, de leurs formats et de leurs supports manuscrits. À travers une série de cas d'étude, les contributeurs de ce volume collectif, le premier jamais consacré à cet épisode, vont au contact de la réalité matérielle de la controverse pour éclairer les structures du débat public : la stratégie littéraire des auteurs, leur travail d'atelier, la participation des simples clercs, le rôle respectif de l’oral et de l’écrit dans les querelles théologiques du haut Moyen Âge.

Landscape and Myth in North-Western Europe
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for:Landscape and Myth in North-Western Europe show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for: Landscape and Myth in North-Western EuropeThis volume explores the intersection of landscape and myth in the context of northwestern Atlantic Europe. From the landscapes of literature to the landscape as a lived environment, and from myths about supernatural beings to tales about the mythical roots of kingship, the contributions gathered here each develop their own take on the meanings behind ‘landscape’ and ‘myth’, and thus provide a broad cross-section of how these widely discussed concepts might be understood.
Arising from papers delivered at the conference Landscape and Myth in North-Western Europe, held in Munich in April 2016, the volume draws together a wide selection of material ranging from texts and toponyms to maps and archaeological data, and it uses this diversity in method and material to explore the meaning of these terms in medieval Ireland, Wales, and Iceland. In doing so, it provides a broadly inclusive and yet carefully focused discussion of the inescapable and productive intertwining of landscape and myth.

Or, à cette époque et avant son affiliation à Cluny, le scriptorium de Moissac, alors en pleine activité, produit, entre autres manuscrits, un grand légendier enluminé dont nous conservons d’importants fragments (BNF, Ms. Lat. 5304 et 17002). Ce légendier, le plus grand de son temps, transmet 150 textes dont certains sont très rares. L’étude collective de ce manuscrit permet de réfléchir à la culture hagiographique méridionale depuis le monde wisigothique jusqu’au XIVe siècle. En abordant tour à tour la genèse, les usages et la diffusion d’une telle collection de textes, ce livre invite à un voyage savant dans l’histoire longue du christianisme. Il permet de mieux comprendre la mémoire des premiers temps chrétiens dans le Midi, mais également dans d’autres espaces, du monde hispanique à la Perse, de l’Afrique à la Gaule du Nord.

Legitimation of Political Power in Medieval Thought
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for:Legitimation of Political Power in Medieval Thought show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for: Legitimation of Political Power in Medieval ThoughtWhat makes political power legitimate? Without legitimation, subjects will not accept power, and, since religion permeated medieval society, religion became foundational to philosophical legitimations of political power.
In 2013, the xix Annual Colloquium of the International Society for the Study of Medieval Philosophy took place in Alcalá de Henares, one of the medieval centers of political debate within and between Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities. The members of these communities all shared the common belief that God constitutes the remote or proximate cause of legitimation. Yet, beyond this common belief, they differed significantly in their points of departure and how their arguments evolved. For instance, the debate among Western Christians in the conflict between secular power and Papal authority sowed the seeds for a secular basis of legitimacy.
The volume reflects the results of the colloquium. Many contributions focus on key Christian thinkers such as Marsilius of Padua, Thomas Aquinas, John Quidort of Paris, Giles of Rome, Dante, and William of Ockham; other studies focus on major authors from the Jewish and Muslim traditions, such as Maimonides and Alfarabi. Finally, several papers focus on lesser-known but no less important figures for the history of political thought: Manegold of Lautenbach, Ptolemy of Lucca, Guido Terrena, John of Viterbo, Pierre de Ceffons, John Wyclif and Pierre de Plaoul. The contributions rely on original texts, giving the readers a fresh insight into these issues.

Leur implantation est attestée par des sépultures peu nombreuses dont les individus présentent des déformations céphaliques, caractéristiques de peuples associés. Bien qu’ariens, les rois sont tolérants et les évêques catholiques jouent un rôle politique réel ; paradoxalement le premier roi catholique, Sigismond, fondateur de Saint-Maurice d’Agaune, critiqué par son épiscopat, perd son royaume et sa vie face aux Francs. Toutefois, le culte de saint Maurice se développe et fait école. Sur le modèle d’Agaune, où le culte de Sigismond se développe, Gontran fonde, en 577, Saint-Marcel à Chalon-sur-Saône. Au VIe siècle, les clercs élaborent un cycle rassemblant les martyrs de Bourgogne : Lyon devient le « centre d’un royaume de Dieu ». Au sein de l’Empire carolingien, l’identité burgonde, qui semblait fragile, résiste à la perte d’autonomie politique. Au IXe siècle, l’héritage de Lothaire II est divisé entre le futur duché de Bourgogne et les royaumes Bosonides de Provence et Rodolphiens de Transjurane, qui fusionnent au Xe siècle, états fondés sur des cultes dynamiques, des monastères réformés et des évêchés puissants.

Et pourtant, leurs bibliothèques, parfois immenses, font mentir par leur richesse et les textes rarissimes ou inattendus qu’elles nous ont conservés l’idée d’un ordre peu consacré aux études. Où les cisterciens ont-ils trouvé ces textes ? Quels étaient leurs réseaux ? Avaient-ils des critères pour choisir les textes à copier et les modèles ? La recherche des textes était-elle dans ces abbayes réfléchie, concertée ? En somme, les cisterciens ont-ils été des transmetteurs par hasard, ou parce que leur intérêt pour les textes allait bien au-delà de ce que nous croyons habituellement ? Ce livre montre que la seconde réponse est certainement la plus juste.

Les formes laïques de la philosophie

Autodidacte, philosophe et théologien, poète, Raymond Lulle invente de nouvelles formes d’écriture de la philosophie, romanesque, poétique, invitant à oublier toute distinction entre philosophie et littérature pour mieux proposer un art dynamique et systématique. Les études ici réunies contribuent à donner à l’œuvre de Raymond Lulle la place qui lui revient dans l’histoire de la philosophie médiévale et de cette philosophie alternative, celle des laïcs, trop souvent méconnue.

In this volume, scholars from across Europe and beyond examine the processes by which medieval romances were adapted across regional and national borders. By considering how the content, form, and broader contextualisation of individual romances were altered by the transition from one region to another, the chapters variously address the role translators, narrators, editors, and compilers played in adapting the tales to different cultural and codicological settings. In this context, they discuss not only the shifting plotlines of the tales, but also the points at which the generic features of the texts shift in response to changing cultural codes. In doing so, they raise broader questions concerning the links between genre, manuscript form, cultural assimilation, and the popularity of certain romance texts in different cultural communities.

Medieval Thought Experiments

The aim of this volume is to consider how intellectual problems were approached - if not necessarily resolved - through the kinds of hypothetical enquiry found in poetry and in other texts that employ fictional or imaginative strategies. Scholars working across the spectrum of medieval languages and academic disciplines consider why a writer might choose a fictional or hypothetical frame to discuss theoretical questions, how a work’s truth content is affected and shaped by its fictive nature, or what kinds of affective or intellectual work its reading demands. By reading literary, philosophical, and spiritual texts from England, France, and Italy alongside each other, this collection offers a new interdisciplinary approach to the history of medieval thought.
