Writing History in Medieval Poland

Bishop Vincentius of Cracow and the ‘Chronica Polonorum’

Naama Cohen Hanegbi, Piroska Nagy (eds)

Darius von Güttner-Sporzyński (ed.)

Explores the manifold manifestations of pleasure in medieval culture and the various rationales to its appearance and use.

This work brings to light the importance of Poland in the making of Europe. It presents an in-depth analysis of the Chronica Polonorum, one of the greatest works of the twelfth-century renaissance which profoundly influenced history writing in Central Europe. It provides important insights into the development of the so-called peripheral regions of twelfth-century Europe and Poland’s engagement in the twelfthcentury renaissance.

This volume explores the diverse manifestations and uses of pleasure in medieval culture. Pleasure is a sensation, an affirmation, a practice, and is at the core of the medieval worldview, no less than pain. Applying a variety of methodological perspectives, the essays collected here analyse the role of pleasure in relation to a variety of subjects such as the human body, love, relationships, education, food, friendship, morality, devotion, and mysticism. They also integrate a wide range of sources including literature (monastic to courtly), medical texts, illuminated prayer books, iconography, and theatrical plays. Each document, each discipline, and thus each essay combine to provide a complex and diversified picture of medieval joys and delights –­ a picture that shows the extent to which pleasure is engrained in the period’s culture. This collection shows how pleasure in the Middle Ages is at once a coveted feeling and a constant moral concern, both the object and the outcome of a constant negotiation between earthly and divine imperatives.

Slavery and the Slave Trade in the Eastern Mediterranean (c. 1000-1500 CE)

Water in Medieval Intellectual Culture

Reuven Amitai, Christoph Cluse (eds)

James L. Smith

This is a comprehensive collection of innovative studies on slavery and the slave trade in the eastern Mediterranean during the Middle Ages. This volume presents a multi-faceted and interdisciplinary approach to slavery and the slave trade in the Eastern Mediterranean region in the pre-modern period, placing these into a larger historical and cultural context. It surveys the significance of slavery in the three monotheistic traditions, the involvement of Eastern and Western merchants and other agents in the slave trade, and offers new interpretations concerning the nature of this commerce.

This volume provides a new contribution to the understanding of twelfth-century monasticism and medieval intellectual culture by exploring the relationship between water and the composition of thought. It provides a fresh insight into twelfth-century monastic philosophies by studying the use of water as an abstract entity in medieval thought to frame and discuss topics such as spirituality, the natural order, knowledge visualization, and metaphysics in various high medieval texts, including Godfrey of Saint-Victor’s Fons Philosophiae, Peter of Celle’s letter corpus, and the Description of Clairvaux.

Temporality and Mediality in Late Medieval and Early Modern

Christian Kiening, Martina Stercken (eds)

This study provides a new approach to media and mediality from the perspective of cultural history, focusing on a variety of medieval and early modern cultural forms. This interdisciplinary volume explores the ways in which time is staged at the threshold between the Middle Ages and the early modern period. Proceeding from the reality that all cultural forms are inherently and inescapably temporal, it seeks to discover the significance of time in mediations and communications of all kinds. The volume thus provides a new approach to media and mediality from the perspective of cultural history.

La noblesse au service du prince

Les Saveuse: un hostel noble de Picardie au temps de l’Etat bourguignon (v. 1380-v. 1490) Bertrand Schnerb

Jean-Marie Cauchies a connu un parcours académique et une carrière universitaire prestigieux et exemplaires. Si ces études ne peuvent rendre compte de l’extrême diversité des thèmes auxquels Jean-Marie Cauchies aura consacré ses travaux bourguignons, lesquels relèvent aussi souvent, de façon fatalement imbriquée, des histoires du Hainaut et du droit, auxquels d’autres recueils d’hommage sont consacrés ailleurs, elles se veulent l’expression, à son égard, d’une admiration fondée et d’un riche esprit de convivialité scientifique et humaine.

L’encadrement de l’État bourguignon était fortement aristocratique. Les ducs de Bourgogne de la Maison de Valois ont largement recruté leurs conseillers, leurs capitaines et l’élite de leur entourage et de leur hôtel au sein de la noblesse des pays sur lesquels ils exerçaient leur autorité ou leur influence. L’étude de ce groupe familial qu’il est possible de suivre sur cinq générations, entre les années 1350 et les années 1490, est conçue comme une contribution à l’histoire des relations de la noblesse avec la Maison de Bourgogne.

By opening up this key source to scholars, it will be an indispensable resource for historians of Egypt, of administration and rural life in the premodern world generally, and of the Middle East in particular. approx. x + 600 p., 156 x 234 mm, 2018, ISBN 978-2-503-54277-5 Hardback: € 125 Series: The Medieval Countryside, vol. 18 In preparation

Rural Economy and Tribal Society in Islamic Egypt A Study of al-Nābulusī’s ‘Villages of the Fayyum’ Yossef Rapoport

The Villages of the Fayyum is a unique and unparalleled thirteenth-century Arabic tax register of the province of the Fayyum in Middle Egypt. Based on this tax-register, this book utilises quantitative research methods and spatial GIS analysis to provide a rich account of the rural economy of the medieval Fayyum, the tribal organization of the village communities, and their rights and duties in relation to the military landholders. It also draws on the rich documentary evidence of the Fayyum, which stretches back to the Greco-Roman and early Islamic periods, to trace the transformation of the Fayyum into a Muslim-majority and Arab province. approx. 315 p., 3 b/w ills, 156 x 234 mm, 2018, ISBN 978-2-503-57518-6 Hardback: € 80 Series: The Medieval Countryside, vol. 19 In preparation

Boundaries in the Medieval and Wider World Les Royaumes de Bourgogne jusque 1032 à travers la culture et la religion

Talent / maltalent

Anne Wagner, Nicole Brocard (éd.)

Brîndusa Grigoriu

Les Burgondes étendirent leur royaume dans la vallée du Rhône, de la Durance et de la Saône. Leur implantation est attestée par des sépultures peu nombreuses. Au VIe siècle, les clercs élaborent un cycle rassemblant les martyrs de Bourgogne. 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.

Face au manuscrit roman médiéval, face à l’œuvre francophone, il est loisible de rendre son droit de cité à l’émotion : même si les humains qui ont façonné les premiers émotifs français sont morts depuis des siècles, même si les sciences humaines s’entraînent à les enterrer scientifiquement, il reste une place pour le vécu fictionnel, et ce vécu est riche en vies possibles ; il suffit d’interroger le mode d’emploi des affects, tel qu’il se dégage de chacun de ces récits fondateurs. Le livre propose une relecture des premiers récits français sous le signe des polarités émotionnelles médiévales du « talent » et du « maltalent ».

L’homme médiéval et sa vision du monde Ruptures et survivances

Ludo Milis, Jacques Fermaut (trad.)

Le Moyen Âge semble une période mentalement très distante de notre époque. Est-ce vrai? L’auteur plonge dans les textes médiévaux, surtout les sources narratives, pour détecter les structures profondes des pensées et des sentiments. Il se sert de citations pour faire revivre les valeurs et normes de l’époque tel que les contemporains les ont formulées. Milis explore d’abord l’attitude vis-à-vis de Dieu, d’autres divinités et religions, et les problèmes qui en sont issus au sein des sociétés et civilisations médiévales.

Essays in Honour of Paul Freedman Thomas Barton, Susan McDonough, Sara McDougall, Matthew Wranovix (eds)

The articles in this collection delve into the Middle Ages and the early modern period, exploring such topics as the religious culture, Spain, and the history of food. Together, these studies assess and explore a range of different boundaries, both tangible and theoretical: boundaries relating to law, religion, peasants, historiography, and food, medicine, and the exotic.While drawing important conclusions about their subjects, the collected essays identify historical quandaries and possibilities to guide future research and study.

Crime, châtiment et grâce dans les monastères au Moyen Âge (XIIe-XVe siècle)

Performance and Theatricality in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance

Ce livre analyse les crimes commis à l’intérieur des monastères médiévaux et la manière dont les religieux criminels étaient corrigés tant par les abbés, les évêques, les chapitres généraux des ordres religieux que par les organes de la curie romaine. Il compare, à l’échelle de l’Europe, les établissements de moines, chanoines réguliers et moniales, qu’ils appartiennent à un ou à une nébuleuse moins définie sur le plan juridique. L’ouvrage éclaire sous un angle nouveau les processus de construction institutionnelle et de réforme des ordres religieux entre les XIIe et XVe siècles.

This volume offers a panoramic mosaic of the worldmaking role of theater and performance in medieval and early modern European societies. The studies gathered here examine material from Austria, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, and Spain from the thirteenth to the eighteenth century. Addressing confession and private devotion, urban theater and pageantry, royal legitimacy and religious debate, and a wide range of genres and media, this volume offers a panoramic mosaic of the worldmaking role of theater and performance in medieval and early modern European societies.

Performing Emotions in Early Europe

Philippa Maddern †, Joanne McEwan, Anne M. Scott (eds)

New perspectives on the performance of premodern emotions from international experts. Drawing on a range of interdisciplinary approaches and innovative methodologies, this collection contributes ground-breaking new scholarship in the burgeoning field of emotions studies by examining how medieval and early modern Europeans communicated and ‘performed’ their emotions. Rejecting the notion that emotions are ‘essential’ or ‘natural’, this volume seeks to pay particular attention to cultural understandings of emotion by examining how they were expressed and conveyed in a wide range of historical situations. The contributors investigate the performance and reception of pre-modern emotions in a variety of contexts – in literature, art, and music, as well as through various social and religious performances – and in a variety of time periods ranging from the twelfth to the eighteenth centuries. These studies provide both case-studies of particular emotions and emotional negotiations, and examinations of how their categorisation, interpretation, and meaning has changed over time. The contributors provide new insights into the expression and performance of pre-modern emotions from a wide range of disciplinary fields, including historical studies, literature, art history, musicology, gender studies, religious studies, and philosophy. Collectively, they theorise the performativity of medieval and early modern emotions and outline a new approach that takes fuller account of the historical specificity and cultural meanings of emotions at particular points in time.

The microcosm of Istria was riddled with tensions and disputes over imprecise boundaries that failed to delineated vital forests and pastures, leading to frequent bouts of violence. Yet, at the same time, the inhabitants of Istria worked and married across state boundaries, creating a complicated network of identities and producing a trove of everyday human stories. This book brings to light the colorful mosaic of frontier life at the very end of the Middle Ages.

Droit subjectif ou droit objectif ? La notion de ius en droit sacramentaire au XIIe siècle Thierry Sol

En s’interrogeant sur la validité et la licéité des sacrements célébrés par les clercs hérétiques, schismatiques ou simoniaques, le cas des ordinations absolues et le pouvoir de lier et délier des prélats hérétiques, le droit sacramentaire offre un champ d’analyse privilégié. Dans ces situations se trouve problématisé le rapport entre la situation personnelle du ministre et sa fonction au service de l’Église, c’està-dire entre une situation subjective de « possession personnelle » du sacrement de l’ordre et une situation de distribution des sacrements au service de la communauté des fidèles. 331 p., 156 x 234 mm, 2017, ISBN 978-2-503-57602-2 Paperback: € 80 Série: Medieval and Early Modern Political Theology, vol. 2 Disponible

Episcopal Power and Local Society in Medieval Europe, 900-1400 Peter Coss, Chris Dennis, Melissa Julian-Jones, Angelo Silvestri (eds)

The purpose of this volume is to examine the foundations of episcopal power in medieval Europe by considering its functioning and development at the level of local society. This collection of essays derives from papers delivered at a conference at Cardiff University in May 2013, and is divided into three sections focusing on the construction of episcopal power in local society, the ways in which it was augmented, and the different forms through which it was expressed. The essays have a broad geographical scope and include studies focused on English, French, Italian, and Icelandic dioceses.

Violet Soen, Dries Vanysacker, Wim François (eds)

This volume takes a refreshing perspective on the themes of church and reform in this region from the late fifteenth century onwards. The first part interrogates the dynamics of repression and censorship in matters of religion. A second part focuses on more internal impulses for Catholic Reform in the sixteenth century, especially those created by the Council of Trent. As such, this volume helps to contextualise the Counter-Reformation of the seventeenth century in a long-term perspective, identifying the myriad of actors and motives behind this Catholic revival.

Genre et compétition dans les sociétés occidentales du haut Moyen Âge (IVe-XIe siècle) Sylvie Joye, Régine Le Jan (éd.)

Il s’agit d’une réflexion historiographique et conceptuelle sur le genre à la fin de l’Antiquité et au haut Moyen Âge accompagnée d’études de cas historiques et archéologiques. Si les études de genre utilisent abondamment les notions de discrimination ou d’inégalités, il est plus rare qu’elles abordent à proprement parler celle de compétition. 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. 186 p., 16 b/w ills, 156 x 234 mm, 2018, ISBN 978-2-503-57607-7 Paperback: € 65 Série: Haut Moyen Âge, vol. 29 En préparation

Assassin des pauvres

L’Église et l’inaliénabilité des terres à l’époque carolingienne Gaëlle Calvet

Assassins des pauvres : telle est l’accusation portée par les évêques carolingiens contre ceux qui s’emparent des biens fonciers des églises au IXe siècle. En s’emparent des biens inaliénables des églises, les « ravisseurs » deviennent eux-mêmes et encourent l’excommunication, c’est-à-dire l’exclusion de la communauté chrétienne, aussi longtemps qu’ils ne viennent pas à résipiscence. Cependant, derrière un discours parfois très dur à l’encontre des spoliateurs, se cache une réalité des échanges beaucoup plus complexe.

Genèse des espaces politiques (IXe-XIIe siècle)

Autour de la question spatiale dans les royaumes francs et postcarolingiens Geneviève Bührer - Thierry, Steffen Patzold, Jens Schneider (éd.)

Depuis le XIXe siècle, les historiens français et allemands racontent une histoire fondamentalement différente de la transition entre le monde carolingien et les Xe-XIIe siècles : pour les premiers, l’apparition de principautés « territoriales » dans le monde post-carolingien est avant toute chose le signe de la désagrégation des institutions carolingiennes et représente une mutation fondamentale dans l’organisation des pouvoirs. Pour les seconds, il n’y a pas de véritable solution de continuité dans un système où le pouvoir a toujours reposé non sur la domination d’un territoire mais sur l’importance des liens interpersonnels entre le roi et l’aristocratie, et cela dès l’époque carolingienne. Le but de cet ouvrage est de montrer comment l’importance dévolue au caractère territorial du pouvoir – largement remis en question par la recherche actuelle – a influé sur la manière dont on raconte l’histoire de l’empire carolingien et des royaumes post-carolingiens à l’Est et à l’Ouest du Rhin, grâce à plusieurs mises au point historiographiques et à de nombreuses études de cas. Geneviève Bührer-Thierry est professeure d’Histoire du Moyen Âge à l’université Paris1-Panthéon-Sorbonne et membre du LAMOP UMR 8589. Steffen Patzold est professeur d’Histoire du Moyen Âge à l’université Eberhard-Karl de Tübingen.

Coopétition

Rivaliser, coopérer dans les sociétés du haut Moyen Âge (500-1100) Régine Le Jan, Geneviève Bührer-Thierry, Stefano Gasparri (éd.)

Ce livre est centré sur la « coopétition », un concept qui désigne la capacité des acteurs à rivaliser et à coopérer simultanément. Il prend 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. Il éclaire ainsi d’un jour nouveau le jeu de la compétition dans les sociétés du premier Moyen Âge.

Charlemagne : les temps, les espaces, les hommes

La construction sociale du sujet exclu (IVe-XIe siècle)

Construction et déconstruction d’un règne Rolf Grosse, Michel Sot (éd.)

Discours, lieux et individus

Sylvie Joye, Maria Cristina La Rocca, Stéphane Gioanni (éd.)

Les articles de ce volume 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. 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.

L’exclusion sociale apparaît comme un sujet dramatique dans les sociétés anciennes, que l’on se représente plus volontiers fondées sur la communauté et la solidarité. Les quatorze contributions rassemblées dans ce volume interrogent les traces et les conséquences de l’exclusion aussi bien dans les sources textuelles qu’archéologiques, du IVe au XIe siècle. Elles montrent en particulier comment discours et pratiques de la justice ou des institutions chrétiennes peuvent marquer le statut ou le corps du sujet, et comment celui-ci réagit face à l’exclusion, quitte à faire de celle-ci un élément revendiqué de son identité.

URBAN HISTORY

Netherlandish Culture of the Sixteenth Century Urban Perspectives

Ethan Matt Kavaler, Anne-Laure Van Bruaene (eds)

The authors of this volume examine various fields of cultural discourse in the Netherlands of the sixteenth century: the political, commercial, religious, artistic, and sensory domains, and less obviously metaphysical properties like time and space. What defined the Low Countries were not its borders and its territories but its cities, and their economies dominated political relations. Among the topics treated are differing notions of urban topography, the dialogue between city and court, issues of censorship, and the sensory and psychological response to texts and images.

Medieval Urban Culture Andrew Brown, Jan Dumolyn (eds)

This volume explores the specificity of the urban culture in western Europe during the period c. 1150-1550. Since the mid-twentieth century, many studies have complicated the association, traditionally made, between the medieval growth of towns and the birth of a modern, secular world; but few have given any attention to what actually made urban culture ‘urban’. This volume begins by placing medieval ‘urban culture’ within its spatial context, to consider how urban conditions determined the perception and representation of the city-dweller. Contributors examine a variety of urban cultures, from the political to the artistic, from London and Bruges to Florence and Venice, and beyond Europe. They show how urban culture involved a process of interaction with other discourses (royal, noble, ecclesiastical) and that it was not monolithic: the relationship between urban environments and the cultures they generated were hybrid, fluid and dynamic.

Village Community and Conflict in Late Medieval Drenthe Peter C.M. Hoppenbrouwers

Based on a careful reading of normative sources and thousands of short verdicts given by the socalled ‘Etstoel’ or high court of justice in Drenthe, this book focuses on three types of conflict: conflicts between villages, feud-like violence, and litigations about property. These coincide with three levels of involvement: that of village communities as a whole, that of kin groups, and that of households. The resulting, comprehensive analysis provides a rigorous interrogation of generalized notions of the preindustrial rural world, offering a snapshot of a typical peasant society in late medieval Europe.

Village Elites and Social Structures in the Late Medieval Campine Region Eline Van Onacker

This study explores the social structures and the characteristics of inequality of the Campine (Kempen), a communal peasant region situated to the northeast of the sixteenth-century ‘metropolis’ of Antwerp. Looking past standard societal measurements such as property distribution, this work combines a wide variety of sources to grasp the nuances of inequality in a communal society. It therefore takes into account other economic factors such as control over the commons, and market integration. It also focuses on political and social inequality, shedding light on aspects of inequality in village politics, social life, and poor relief.

Crusade Preaching and the Ideal Crusader

Miikka Tamminen

This book explores the creation of the ideal crusader in thirteenth-century society. It presents, for the first time, a study of the crusade model sermons of the thirteenth century as a corpus in its entirety. The book considers various dimensions of crusade ideology and the values associated with crusading in thirteenth-century society – the qualities that were appreciated and valued by contemporaries, and the traits that were considered disadvantageous in a crusading context. The expectations, the aspirations, and the concerns of crusade preachers with regard to the conduct and the quality of the crusaders are also explored.

Le texte de la version française du Teseida, Le livre de Thezeo, est conservé dans quatre manuscrits et un fragment. Le présent travail présente la première édition critique de la traduction française du livre du jeune Boccace. Il est connu surtout par les splendides enluminures du manuscrit 2617 de Vienne (W1), souvent décrites et reproduites, et la beauté du décor justifie les nombreuses études auxquelles il a donné lieu. Le présent travail fournit la première édition critique du Livre de Thezeo et présente une étude complète de sa tradition textuelle et du travail du traducteur français.

A major study of interest to historians of medieval Ireland and specialists in medieval French. This book is a ground-breaking study of the cultural and linguistic consequences of the English invasion of Ireland in 1169, and examines the ways in which the country is portrayed in French literature of the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth centuries. Works such as La geste des Engleis en Yrlande and The Walling of New Ross, written in French in a multilingual Ireland, are studied in their literary and historical contexts, and the works of the Dominican friar Jofroi de Waterford (c. 1300) are shown to have been written in Ireland, rather than Paris, as has always been assumed. After exploring how the dissemination and translation of early Latin texts of Irish origin concerning Ireland led to the country acquiring a reputation as a land of marvels, this study argues that increasing knowledge of the real Ireland did little to stymie the mirabilia hibernica in French vernacular literature. On the contrary, the image persisted to the extent of retrospectively associating central motifs and figures of Arthurian romance with Ireland. This book incorporates the results of original archival research and is characterized by close attention to linguistic details of expression and communication, as well as historical, codicological, and literary contexts.

Scribal Culture, Authority, and Agency Andrea Rizzi

This book provides a richly documented study of vernacular translators as agents within the literary culture of Italy during the fifteenth century. Through a fresh and careful examination of these early modern translators, Rizzi shows how humanist translators went about convincing readers of the value of their work in disseminating knowledge that would otherwise be inaccessible to many. The translators studied in this book include not only the well-known ‘superstars’ such as Leonardo Bruni, but also little-known and indeed obscure writers from throughout the Italian peninsula.

Luigi Pulci in Renaissance Florence and Beyond

Text, Transmission, and Transformation in the European Middle Ages, 1000-1500

New Perspectives on his Poetry and Influence

James K. Coleman, Andrea Moudarres (eds)

Carrie Griffin, Emer Purcell (eds)

This volume – the first collection of critical essays dedicated to Pulci – offers a comprehensive reassessment of Pulci’s work and legacy, shedding new light on the cultural and literary traditions that Pulci draws from and subverts, the social and political forces that shaped Pulci’s work, and the breadth of Pulci’s influence from the Renaissance to the present day.

These essays are concerned primarily with the different ways in which European writers, translators, and readers engaged with texts and concepts, and with the movement and exchange of those texts and ideas across boundaries and geographical spaces. Texts are examined not in isolation but in direct relation and as responses to wider European culture; several of the contributions theorize the translation of works. Together the essays reconstruct an outward-looking, networked, and engaged Europe in which people used texts in order to communicate, discover, and explore, as well as to record and preserve.

L’entrée d’Alexandre le Grand sur la scène européenne

Toward a Historical Sociolinguistic Poetics of Medieval Greek

Théâtre et opéra (fin du XVe-XIXe siècle)

Coen Maas

Considering that humanist scholars often referred to the Middle Ages as a period of darkness and ignorance, it is surprising that early modern historians were, in fact, highly interested in this period. Focusing on Latin works by (humanist) historians from Holland and Brabant, the central argument of this book is that this choice of medieval subject matter and the way in which these historians described their provinces’ medieval past served a highly political agenda. The case studies in this book bring forward some key characteristics of early modern medievalism, a subject that has recently attracted a lot of scholarly attention. These chapters show how concepts of the medieval were used as rhetorical tools, how and why medieval forms and ideals were appropriated, and how the classical heritage was invoked in the representation of the medieval. In focusing on political rhetoric, the historians’ position in the political arena is shown to be a catalyst for new developments in the study of the past rather than a menace to objective historiography. They made medieval history serve life by (re)discovering in the past the desire for financial control, the rulers’ majestic power, the legal right to govern oneself, or the resistance against tyrannical oppression that had always been constitutive of their communities’ selves.

How can historical sociolinguistic analyses of Medieval Greek aid in the interpretation of Medieval Greek texts? This is the main question addressed by the papers collected in this volume. Historical sociolinguistics (HSL) is a discipline that combines linguistic, social, historical, and philological sciences, and suggests that a language cannot be studied apart from its social dimension. This volume collects some of the papers presented at two international conferences, held in Vienna, on historical sociolinguistics and late Byzantine historiography.

UTRECHT STUDIES IN MEDIEVAL LITERACY

Sins of the Tongue in the Medieval West

Sinful, Unethical, and Criminal Words in Middle Dutch (1300-1550) Martine Veldhuizen

Verbal and Visual Communication in Early English Texts

Matti Peikola, Aleksi Mäkilähde, Hanna Salmi, Mari-Liisa Varila, Janne Skaffari (eds)

This work demonstrates the pivotal role of the sins of the tongue in the late medieval domains of Church, ethics, and law, through analysis of Middle Dutch texts. It examines medieval notions of harmful speech conduct as reflected in Middle Dutch ecclesiastical, secular-ethical, and legal textual sources. According to these texts, the tongue was able to ‘break bones’ and inflict considerable damage on the speaker, on listeners, and on other relevant participants in speech situations.

The volume innovatively combines book studies with linguistics to explore the interplay of verbal and visual/ material communication in early English manuscripts and printed texts. The chapters in this volume investigate how visual and material features of early English books, documents, and other artefacts support – or potentially contradict – the linguistic features in communicating the message. In addition to investigating how such communication varies between different media and genres, our contributors propose novel methods for analysing these features, including new digital applications.

The Medieval World at our Fingertips Manuscript Illuminations from the Collection of Sandra Hindman Christopher de Hamel

This fascinating book offers a most engaging and fresh glimpse into the world of the Middle Ages. It accompanies an exhibit of some thirty diverse illuminated manuscript pages, and in a series of short descriptive essays on each of the miniatures the reader is taken on a remarkable journey from the twelfth to the sixteenth century, from which we can learn not only a great deal about the art of illumination, but also about the monasteries and cathedrals of Europe and such prominent medieval centres as the cities of London, Florence, Paris and Nuremberg. Moreover, Christopher de Hamel’s wide knowledge and vivid reflections provide the historical and cultural context that help us to fully understand and truly appreciate these special works of art. The illuminated pages presented here are part of the impressive and broad-ranging collection assembled over twenty-five years by the medieval scholar and long-time Chicagoan Sandra Hindman. They represent both biblical and secular subjects and include the work of master illuminators such as Maestro Daddesco, Giovanni di Paolo and the Master of Mary of Burgundy. In addition to the colour reproductions of all the exhibited pages, the essays are sumptously illustrated with further related and comparative images, many of which are drawn from the collections of the Chicago Institute of Art itself. The Introduction to the volume is by the wellknown medievalist James Marrow, and there is also a Catalogue by Matthew Westerby giving full details, descriptions, provenance and bibliography of the exhibited illuminations.

The Bar Books

Manuscripts Illuminated for Renaud de Bar, Bishop of Metz (1303-1316) Kay Davenport

Renaud de Bar (d. 1316) was the sixty-ninth bishop of Metz. The house of Bar had a distinguished lineage intertwined with most of the important European houses. In the last century, as manuscripts were identified and attributed, realisation has gradually dawned that he commissioned six de luxe manuscripts for his particular use in the course of his rapid rise to the episcopacy. This detailed study gives a novel overview of the man and his books, paying special attention to the heraldry, the calendars, and the marginalia in three appendices.

Vivre et imprimer dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux (des origines à la Réforme) Renaud Adam

Deux volumes des Nugæ seront consacrés à la brillante thèse de Renaud Adam. Le premier livre est un historique détaillé, ville par ville, de l’introduction de l’art typographique dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux et de son évolution jusqu’en 1520, complété par un dictionnaire prosopographique. Le second livre répond à la question: comment les premiers imprimeurs se sont-ils intégrés au tissu socio-économique des Pays-Bas méridionaux et de la principauté de Liège au tournant des XVe et XVIe siècles ? Cette étude a été structurée autour de deux axes. Les regards se sont portés sur le métier d’imprimeur avec des questionnements centrés sur le statut juridique et l’organisation de cette profession, sur le fonctionnement interne d’une imprimerie ainsi que sur la commercialisation des livres et le profil de la clientèle. Les résultats de la dernière partie sont le fruit d’une investigation dans la composition de la communauté typographique et d’une tentative de décorticage des trames réticulaires nouées avec les autres acteurs de la société urbaine.

Tributes to Adelaide Bennett Hagens

Medieval Illustrations of the Verse Romances Stephanie C. Van D’Elden

Pamela A. Patton, Judith K. Golden (eds)

The story of Tristan and Isolde was one of the most popular in the Middle Ages. Resonances of it appear in other narratives, in poetry, and especially in art. More publicly, scenes from the story appear on misericords from English cathedrals and on Baltic city halls; stone figures grace façades and mantlepieces of grand palaces of the rich bourgeoisie. The purpose of this book is to list all the extant manuscripts and artefacts – objets d’art, and to describe the scenes depicted on them.

Honoring the fifty-year career of Adelaide Bennett Hagens at the Index of Christian Art, Manuscripts, Iconography, and the Late Medieval Viewer gathers essays by leading specialists in the field of Gothic manuscripts and related art forms. Centered on the reciprocity between medieval pictures and their viewers, the collection sheds new light on what the seminal art historian Michael Camille memorably described as the “image explosion” of the later Middle Ages.

The Birgittines of Syon Abbey

Preaching and Print Susan Powell

This volume examines the Birgittine Order of nuns as producers and readers of texts in Britain from the fifteenth to the early sixteenth century, through an analysis of medieval manuscripts and early printed books. It highlights the community’s response to teachings of St Birgitta, the dissemination of Birgittine texts, and Lady Margaret Beaufort’s role as intermediary between Syon and the outside world. It focuses on the later fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, the most fruitful period of Birgittine outreach.

Editio princeps

A History of the Gutenberg Bible Eric Marshall White

The Gutenberg Bible is widely recognized as Europe’s first printed book, a book that forever changed the world. However, despite its initial impact, fame was fleeting: for the better part of three centuries the Bible was virtually forgotten; only after two centuries of tenacious and contentious scholarship did it attain its iconic status as a monument of human invention. Editio princeps: A History of the Gutenberg Bible is the first book to tell the whole story of Europe’s first printed edition, describing its creation at Mainz circa 1455, its impact on fifteenth-century life and religion, its fall into oblivion during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and its rediscovery and rise to worldwide fame during the centuries thereafter. This comprehensive study examines the fortynine surviving Gutenberg Bibles, and fragments of at least fourteen others, in the chronological order in which they came to light. Combining close analysis of material clues within the Bibles themselves with fresh documentary discoveries, the book reconstructs the history of each copy in unprecedented depth, from its earliest known context through every change of ownership up to the present day. Along the way it introduces the colorful cast of proud possessors, crafty booksellers, observant travelers, and scholarly librarians who shaped our understanding of Europe’s first printed book. Bringing the ‘biographies’ of all the Gutenberg Bibles together for the first time, this richly illustrated study contextualizes both the historic cultural impact of the editio princeps and its transformation into a world treasure. Eric Marshall White, PhD, became Curator of Rare Books at Princeton University Library in 2015 after eighteen years as Curator of Special Collections at Southern Methodist University’s Bridwell Library. A specialist in early European printing, he has published numerous articles and exhibition catalogues on rare books. Table of Contents: www.brepols.net

The Annotated Book in the Early Middle Ages Practices of Reading and Writing

Mariken Teeuwen, Irene van Renswoude (eds)

This volume focuses on annotation in the early medieval period. In treating manuscripts as mirrors of the medieval minds who created them – reflecting their interests, their choices, their practices – the essays explore a number of key topics. It investigates whether early medieval annotators used specific techniques, perhaps identifiable with their scribal communities or schools. It explores what annotators actually sought to accomplish with their annotations, and how the techniques of annotating developed over time and per region. Table of Contents: www.brepols.net

Watermarked Paper from Archives in Ravenna (1287-1693) Nicolangelo Scianna

This first repertoire of watermarks, acquired in full size, directly from volumes of manuscripts will be equally interesting to paper historians and those who study or are passionate about antique paper artefacts, alike. The author’s conclusions trace a trail towards the continued study of paper as an important material in the history of humanity. The author ends this look into the world of antique paper with a discussion on the spread of paper to the city of Ravenna and notes a method for interpreting the placement of the mark on the mould.

This work pinpoints the societal and cultural relevance of 14th- and 15th-century miscellanies as well as their role in the understanding of textual creation, transformation and complexity, in both late medieval and early modern societies.The contributions scrutinize text corpora and textual traditions that had a seminal impact on late medieval European culture. They also take into account individual scribes/compilers and collections. The volume embarks on specific problems, among which authorship, non-autonomy, composition, reception and use.

Le renouveau culturel carolingien confère au livre une place majeure dans la société, qui perdure dans le monde ottonien. Sa production est suffisamment abondante pour que près de 9000 manuscrits de cette époque nous soient parvenus, et le soin apporté à la qualité de leur confection est remarquable. Les manuscrits, précieux ou non, corrigés, glosés, comparés, échangés, servent à l’action, politique ou judiciaire, à la spiritualité, à la réforme religieuse, au développement de l’« humanisme » carolingien. Dans la société et la culture chrétiennes, l’objet-livre revêt un caractère précieux et somptuaire, comme en témoignent sa place de choix au sein des trésors d’église et sa haute valeur monétaire. Il est l’incarnation à la fois de l’autorité sacrée, du pouvoir et du savoir ; investi d’une forte dimension symbolique, il peut aussi être source de conflits et victime de destructions. Polymorphe, il intervient dans de multiples situations et se trouve au cœur des relations entre protagonistes : il peut être tour à tour exhibé sous l’aspect d’un rouleau, d’un codex ouvert ou fermé, mangé, foulé aux pieds, dissimulé, utilisé pour prêter des serments… À la fois contenant et contenu, objet et parole, le livre est aussi un objet imaginaire et imaginé. L’enquête collective envisagée ici dépasse la dimension archétypale du livre pour cerner, à travers une approche pluridisciplinaire combinant l’histoire sociale, culturelle et artistique, la spécificité des représentations carolingiennes du livre.

The Power of Textiles

Tapestries of the Burgundian Dominions (1363-1477) Katherine Wilson

Textiles were used as markers of distinction throughout the Middle Ages and their production was of great economic importance to emerging and established polities. This book explores tapestry in one of the greatest textile producing regions, the Burgundian Dominions, c.1363-1477. It uses documentary evidence to reconstruct and analyse the production, manufacture, and use of tapestry. It begins by identifying the suppliers of tapestry to the dukes of Burgundy and their ability to spin webs between city and court. It proceeds by considering the forms of tapestry and their functions for urban and courtly consumers. It then observes the ways in which tapestry constructed social relations as part of gift-giving strategies. It concludes by exploring what the re-use, repair, and remaking of tapestry reveals about its value to urban and courtly consumers. By taking an objectcentred approach through documentary sources, this book emphasises that the particular characteristics of tapestry shaped the strategies of those who supplied it and the ways it performed and constructed social relations. Thus, the book offers a contribution to the historical understanding of textiles as objects that contributed to the projection of social status and the cultural construction of political authority in the Burgundian polity. Katherine Anne Wilson is Senior Lecturer in Medieval History at the University of Chester. Her research interests lie in understanding the relationship between social and cultural change, and shifting patterns in the use of material culture in the later Middle Ages. She has worked and published on the circulation of tapestry and luxury goods of the Burgundian Netherlands as well as the biographies of their producers and consumers.

Les modèles dans l’art du Moyen Âge (XIIe-XVe siècles) Models in the Art of the Middle Ages (12th-15th Centuries)

Laurence Terrier Aliferis, Denise Borlée (éd.)

Ce volume réunit, pour la première fois sur le sujet, un ensemble de contributions qui abordent les diverses problématiques liées à l’usage des modèles dans la création artistique à l’époque gothique. Les auteurs se fondent, dans des études de cas très concrètes, sur des exemples précis et variés touchant à différents domaines artistiques et, de la sorte, permettent au lecteur d’appréhender au plus près une telle pratique, souvent pressentie, mais qu’il reste malgré tout assez difficile de saisir au sein de la production artistique médiévale.

Raised to the status of an international luminary by her contemporaries and now revered as one of the defining talents of the seventeenth century, Artemisia Gentileschi poses urgent questions for today’s scholars. These essays infuse our understanding of Artemisia with complexity and nuance, yet they also trace her characteristic mix of intelligence and verve in her art, her correspondence, and her deft social maneuvering, running like a thread through all stages of her life.

This book takes the extraordinary art of the Tuscan sculptor Francesco Mochi (1580-1654) as the entry point for an inquiry into the historical and cultural forces reshaping sculpture at the beginning of the seventeenth century. This volume offers wholly new interpretations of Mochi’s monumental works and a new, historically engaged account of the origins of “baroque” sculpture and the rise to dominance of Bernini’s mature sculptural style. The volume is enriched by specially commissioned color photographs of Mochi’s sculptures.

The History of Venetian Renaissance Sculpture (ca. 1410-1530) Anne Markham Schulz

As the first comprehensive treatment of Venetian sculpture of the early Renaissance in nearly a century, this book examines the documents, literary sources, and oeuvre of all Venetian sculptors in stone, bronze, and wood between the decoration of the crowning of San Marco at the beginning of the fifteenth century and the artistic revolution wrought by Jacopo Sansovino from ca. 1530 on. Its text pays particular attention to the style of individual works, to their physical and artistic context, their sources and their influence, and synthesizes forty-five years of attentive looking, of research in archives and libraries of the Veneto, and hundreds of photographic campaigns throughout Italy and as far afield as Croatia and Poland – many from specially mounted scaffolds. The introduction treats general questions of material, purpose, patronage, the origin of sculptors, their workshop practices and the structure of guilds, while the conclusion considers ways in which Venetian sculpture was unique. There is no aspect of the subject to which the author has not contributed major discoveries and her book, with its 800 illustrations, should constitute a work of reference long into the future. Educated in the History of Art at Radcliffe College, Harvard University, and the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU, Anne Markham Schulz has taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, Brown University, and the Università Federico II at Naples. Her research on Italian Renaissance sculpture has resulted in dozens of articles published in America, England, France, Germany and Italy as well as eight books.

Making, Meaning and Patronage of his Works Anna Koopstra

Jean Bellegambe was a successful painter. This is the first study to appear since Dehaisnes’ 1890 monograph that is exclusively devoted to the artist. This volume presents a series of five case studies of his works that were made for a monastic community, two individual clerics, a town hall and a bourgeois layman, thus providing rich evidence of patronage and audiences. The objective here is to examine how Bellegambe met the challenges posed by these commissions, and to gain further insight into the practice of a skilled artist.

Au début des années 1570, un jeune peintre établi à Anvers, Frans Pourbus, reçoit une commande importante pour l’abbatiale de Saint-Martin de Tournai, saccagée par les iconoclastes en 1566 : l’exécution de deux séries de peintures sur bois représentant la Passion du Christ et la Vie de saint Martin. Les panneaux sortis de l’atelier de Pourbus pour Saint-Martin ont survécu aux vicissitudes du temps : à la reconstruction de l’église abbatiale sous le règne de Louis XIV comme aux troubles de la période révolutionnaire.

Anthropologie, archéologie et histoire

Si l’expression « culture matérielle » demeure couramment utilisée, elle semble s’être banalisée et il convient de s’interroger sur sa pertinence actuelle dans le champ des sciences humaines. Principalement centrées sur la période médiévale, les contributions rassemblées dans ce volume font dialoguer archéologues, anthropologues, historiens et géographes pour dresser l’historiographie de la notion de culture matérielle à l’échelle européenne et proposer une série d’études de cas illustrant la « vie des objets » à partir de sources et de terrains variés. approx. 264 p., 220 x 280 mm, 2018, ISBN 978-2-84133-890-0 Hardback: € 42.45 Série: Publications du Centre de Recherches Archéologiques et Historiques Médiévales En préparation

Guillebert de Mets et la peinture de livres à Gand à l’époque de Jan van Eyck (1410-1450)

The Artistic Patronage of Queen Marie de Brabant (1260-1321) T. Hamilton

L’étude se fonde sur un examen approfondi de l’œuvre de ces peintres de livres – soixante-quatre livres et fragments rassemblés ici pour la première fois. Elle pose la question fascinante des interactions entre le foyer artistique parisien et les miniaturistes actifs dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux à l’époque de l’émergence des Primitifs flamands. Tant Guillebert de Mets que ses enlumineurs servent de relais entre ces deux pôles d’excellence et montrent le rôle décisif que Paris a pu jouer dans le façonnement de l’ars nova septentrionale, associée au prodigieux siècle de la Toison d’or.

Queen Marie de Brabant (1260-1321) was heralded as a literary and intellectual patron comparable to Alexander the Great and Charlemagne. Nevertheless, classic studies of the late medieval period understate Marie’s connection to the contemporary rise of secular interests at the French court. This book examines Marie’s commissions from her arrival in Paris in 1274 until her death in 1321 and analyzes the dynamics of her patronage and its impact on other women and men of the royal house.

ART & MATERIAL CULTURE

Saints, Miracles and the Image

Healing Saints and Miraculous Images in the Renaissance Sandra Cardarelli, Laura Fenelli (eds)

This volume fills a void in current art historical research and examines how miraculous images and the imagery of healing saints were crucial to the creation of individual, corporate and collective identities in Florence, Siena, Rome, Naples and other lesser researched Italian centres. While dealing with specific curative, protective, and miraculous episodes related to the exposition of sacred images, this book unravels questions of patronage, authorship, agency, and tradition.

The Art and Archaeology of Lusignan and Venetian Cyprus (1192-1571) Recent Research and New Discoveries

Silver Saints

Prayers and Badges in Late Medieval Books

Siena and the Angevins, 1300-1350 Art, Diplomacy, and Dynastic Ambition Diana Norman

Between 1289 and 1327 Siena witnessed a series of lavish ceremonial events marking the visits to the city of successive Angevin kings and princes, members of the French dynasty that ruled the whole of southern Italy. The reason for these magnificent civic rituals was Siena’s status as a Guelph city state closely allied both to the papacy and to the kingdom of Naples. Based on extensive new research, including unpublished archival material, Diana Norman explores in detail the nature and extent of this distinctive political and diplomatic relationship and the ways in which it impacted upon the production and dissemination of Sienese art during the first half of the fourteenth century. In so doing, she demonstrates that this relationship not only informed the conception and resolution of a number of major pictorial schemes for key civic sites in Siena itself, but that it also familiarised the Angevin royal family with the quality of contemporary Sienese art. This, in turn, led to the employment of Sienese artists by the Angevins and to the production of significant images that commemorated various members of the dynasty. In this beautifully illustrated book, works of art executed by well-known fourteenthcentury artists - including Simone Martini, Ambrogio Lorenzetti, and Tino di Camaino - are examined in a new light, together with other finely crafted objects produced by lesser known artists, all whom contributed to this hitherto over-looked example of late medieval cultural exchange. Diana Norman studied art history at the University of London and taught in the Department of Art History at the Open University, Milton Keynes. She is currently Emeritus Professor of Art History.

Late medieval books served as treasure chests for all kinds of religious keepsakes, notably small metal badges. Medieval manuscripts are often admired for their esthetic qualities, but many of them also served a practical use as instruments for the physical and mental wellbeing of the owners and their families. Manuscripts and incunabula containing metal badges illustrate how the owners used their books, which texts they favored, but also who collected badges and why.

Art et société à Tours au début de la Renaissance

L’imaginaire de l’âge d’or à la Renaissance

Daniele Barbaro 1514-1570 Vénitien, patricien, humaniste

Elinor Myara Kelif

Frédérique Lemerle, Vasco Zara, Pierre Caye, Laura Moretti (éd.)

Cet ouvrage ambitionne de mieux comprendre et de mettre en lumière la popularité dont il a joui dans la culture visuelle de la Renaissance. En mettant en regard les traditions figuratives et interprétatives de l’âge d’or du XVe au début du XVIIe siècles, cette étude met en exergue la vitalité du mythe à la Renaissance, et questionne à nouveau le rôle déterminant des mythes dans l’Europe des temps modernes. Elle met ainsi en évidence qu’il n’y a non pas un mais des âges d’or, et que l’unité de ce mythe tient à la place fondamentale qu’il occupe dans l’imaginaire collectif en tant qu’archétype d’une humanité idéale.

Daniele Barbaro, patriarche élu d’Aquilée, auteur de poèmes, de tragédies et de chroniques, commentateur d’Aristote et de Porphyre, exégète de Vitruve et des psaumes de David, est sans doute le dernier uomo universale de la Renaissance. Ce livre rend hommage à une personnalité aussi riche et complexe. L’ouvrage pluridisciplinaire réunit 30 contributions et d’importantes annexes qui mettent en lumière tous les aspects de son œuvre, y compris dans sa fortune critique, en restituant au mieux les conditions de sa création et de sa production.

Amélie Bernazzani (éd.)

Philippe Morel, Andreas Beyer, Alessandro Nova (éd.)

Marion Boudon-Machuel, Pascale Charron (éd.)

Tours est à partir de la décennie 1440 le lieu de séjour favori des rois de France et de la cour et, dès lors, l’une des villes les plus importantes du domaine royal. Dès la seconde moitié du siècle, elle s’impose comme l’un des grands foyers artistiques reconnue comme capitale du luxe autour des années 1500. C’est ce foyer que le colloque organisé en mai 2012 au Centre d’Études Supérieures de la Renaissance, et dont les actes sont publiés ici, a choisi d’étudier. Le regard des chercheurs s’est porté sur la cité elle-même à la fois comme lieu de naissance des œuvres et comme plaque tournante de la création artistique largement ouverte vers d’autres villes.

La représentation du criminel en France et en Italie, de la Renaissance au début du XXe siècle Cet ouvrage pose quelques jalons de réponse en croisant les approches d’historiens de l’art, d’historiens, de juristes, d’anatomistes ou de spécialistes de la littérature dans une période chronologique volontairement étendue allant du début du XVe siècle au début du XXe siècle. Ce faisceau de points de vue montre que la figure du criminel se déploie en une myriade de portraits possibles, sans véritable typicité, ce qui fait de lui un outil de persuasion efficace, régulièrement utilisé en tant que tel, notamment par les représentants des pouvoirs politique et religieux. 358 p., 72 b/w ills, 12 col. ills, 156 x 234 mm, 2017, ISBN 978-2-503-56931-4 Paperback: € 55 Série: Études Renaissantes, vol. 20 Disponible

L’expérience visionnaire et sa représentation dans l’art italien de la Renaissance

Des acteurs du pouvoir

A. Marchandisse, M. Maillard-Luypaert, B. Schnerb (éd.)

À l’âge du triomphe de l’historia et de la mimésis la vision de l’au-delà a néanmoins très largement occupé la réflexion et la création artistiques, y compris dans l’art italien qui a été bien moins étudié selon ce point de vue, que ne l’ont été l’art flamand du XVe siècle ou l’art espagnol du XVIIe siècle. On a notamment cherché à comprendre comment des paramètres théologiques et iconographiques d’origine patristique ou médiévale ont pu être intégrés et reformulés par le langage artistique de la Renaissance.

Le volume offre une vision d’ensemble, fondée sur un ensemble de cas, d’un phénomène qui n’est pas propre au bas Moyen Âge et à la Renaissance, mais qui s’y développe tout particulièrement : la présence croissante, au sein des cours européennes, de clercs de haut rang issus de grandes familles nobles, à commencer par celle du prince lui-même, lesquels influencent et profitent de la vie politique ambiante.

Memory and Redemption

Public Monuments and the Making of Late Medieval Landscape Achim Timmermann

Erected in large numbers from about 1200 onwards, and featuring increasingly sophisticated designs, wayside crosses and other edifices in the public sphere – such as fountains, pillories and boundary markers – constituted the largest network of images and monuments in the late medieval world. This is the first critical study of these fascinating and rich structures written by a medievalist art historian.

Architecture as Profession The Origins of Architectural Practice in the Low Countries in the Fifteenth Century Merlijn Hurx

Fifteenth-century Florence is generally considered the cradle of the modern architect. There, for the first time since Antiquity, the Vitruvian concept which distinguishes between builder and designer was recognised in architectural theory, causing a fundamental rupture in architectural practice. In this well-established narrative Northern Europe only followed a century later when, along with the diffusion of Italian treatises and the introduction of the all’antica style, a new type of architect began to replace traditional gothic masters. However, historiography has largely overlooked the important transformations in building organisation that laid the foundations for our modern architectural production, such as the advent of affluent contractors, public tenders, and specialised architectural designers, all of which happened in fifteenth-century Northern Europe. Drawing on a wealth of new source material from the Low Countries, this book offers a new approach to the transition from the Middle Ages to the Early Modern Period by providing an alternative interpretation to the predominantly Italocentric perspective of the current literature, and its concomitant focus on style and on Vitruvian theory. Merlijn Hurx is assistant professor of architectural history at Utrecht University. He is specialised in fifteenthand sixteenth-century architecture in the Low Countries.

Decorated Revisited

English Architectural Style in Context, 1250-1400 John Munns (ed.)

Thirty-Five years after the publication of Jean Bony’s seminal work on the so-called Decorated style of English architecture, this volume brings together a selection of groundbreaking essays by the most promising emerging scholars of English medieval architecture. The contributors revisit Bony’s work and reassess the scholarly legacy of the past threeand-a-half decades. Drawing on a range of innovative methodologies, they then present exciting new insights into the nature and significance of English architecture in the period, focusing particularly on its broader European context.

The Idea of the Gothic Cathedral

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Meanings of the Medieval Edifice in the Modern Period Stephanie Glaser (ed.)

This volume presents interdisciplinary perspectives on the resignification of the Gothic cathedral in the post-medieval period. Its contributors, literary scholars and historians of art and architecture, investigate the dynamics of national and cultural movements that turned Gothic cathedrals into symbols of the modern nation-state, highlight the political uses of the edifice in literature and the arts, and underscore the importance of subjectivity in literary and visual representations of Gothic architecture. The volume resonates with wider perspectives, especially relating to the reuse of artefacts to serve particular ideological ends. xviii +375 p., 68 b/w ills, 156 x 234 mm, 2018, ISBN 978-2-503-56813-3 Hardback: € 100 Series: Ritus et Artes, vol. 9 Available

L’écriture et la sainteté dans la Serbie médiévale Étude d’hagiographie

Philippe le Chancelier

Smilja Marjanović-Dušanić

Prédicateur, théologien et poète parisien du début du XIIIe siècle

Il s’agit d’une étude de la tradition hagiographique serbe. Les œuvres écrites au sein de l’élite spirituelle serbe entre le XIIe et le XVe siècle représentent un corpus hagiographique tout à fait indépendant. L’intention de cette recherche est de montrer les liens multiples qui existent entre les diverses constructions des cultes des rois saints, et la façon dont ils nous apparaissent, d’un côté, dans les textes qui les célèbrent, et de l’autre, dans les sources telles que les recueils de miracles, les prophéties et les visions de l’au-delà.

Gilbert Dahan, Anne-Zoé Rillon-Marne (éd.)

Homme de savoir et de pouvoir, Philippe le Chancelier (mort en 1236) se distingue par une production de qualité dans des domaines aussi divers que la théologie, la prédication ou encore la poésie lyrique. Sa charge de chancelier de Notre-Dame de 1217 à 1236 le place au cœur des événements qui rythment la vie ecclésiastique parisienne. Il prend part aux grandes querelles de son temps, notamment celles qui entourent l’émergence de l’université. Il est l’auteur de l’une des premières sommes préscolastiques, la Summa de bono, qui exerce une influence notable sur plusieurs générations de théologiens. D’autre part, il est un prédicateur très apprécié dont les sources conservent une trace abondante. Sa production lyrique occupe une place importante dans l’histoire littéraire et musicale. Encore mal connue, cette figure complexe et prolixe mérite donc qu’on lui consacre des études croisées, permettant l’éclairage de différents champs disciplinaires. Les études ici assemblées ont pour ambition d’aborder chacun des domaines dans lesquels Philippe le Chancelier s’est illustré, dans le but de faire dialoguer ces corpus et de faire apparaître des zones de cohérence ou des registres intertextuels encore peu explorés.

La Bible de 1500 à 1535

Gilbert Dahan, Annie Noblesse-Rocher (éd.)

La période qui s’étend de 1500 à 1535 est d’une fécondité extraordinaire dans l’histoire du texte biblique. L’étude critique des textes renouvelle les entreprises du moyen âge, avec notamment le travail d’Érasme sur le Nouveau Testament et celui de Lefèvre d’Étaples. Si l’ancienne traduction française continue à être lue, Lefèvre d’Etaples en propose une nouvelle en 1530, tandis que, liée d’abord aux communautés vaudoises, la Bible d’Olivétan (1535) va offrir au monde réformé francophone la version qui servira de base aux traductions postérieures. Les communications réunies dans ce volume disent toute la richesse de cette période.

Miracles in Medieval Canonization Processes Structures, Functions, and Methodologies Christian Krötzl, Sari Katajala-Peltomaa (eds)

When a beneficiary or an eye-witness to a miracle met a scribe at a saint’s shrine or a notary at a canonization hearing, it was necessary to establish that the experience was miraculous. Later, the same incident may have been re-told by the clergy; this time the narration needed to entertain the audience yet also to contain a didactic message of divine grace. If the case was eventually scrutinized at the papal curia, the narration and deposition had to fulfil the requirements of both theology and canon law in order to be successful. Miracle narrations had many functions, and they intersected various levels of medieval society and culture; this affected the structure of a collection and individual narration as well as the chosen rhetoric. This book offers a comprehensive methodological analysis of the structure and functions of medieval miracle collections and canonization processes as well as working-tools for reading these sources. By analysing typologies of miracles, stages of composition, as well as rhetorical elements of narrations and depositions, the entertaining, didactic, and judicial aspects of miracle narrations are elucidated while the communal and individual elements are also scrutinized.

This book sets three saints’ Lives in their specifically Christian and biblical context, recognizing that much of the anecdotal material in the narratives is modelled on biblical precedents, and that their authors and first audiences were Christian monastics in regions that were in the process of becoming Christianized. A theological interpretation of the narratives opens up a fresh appreciation of their religious impact, and the possibility of a widened ‘horizon of meaning’ for readers.

Chanoines réguliers et sociétés méridionales

L’abbaye de Saint-Ruf et ses prieurés dans le sud-est de la France (XIe-XIVe siècle) Yannick Veyrenche

C’est surtout à partir de l’abbaye de Saint-Ruf d’Avignon qu’est diffusé, dans le Midi de la France et la Catalogne à la fin du XIe siècle, le modèle des chanoines réguliers, soit la vie commune du clergé sans propriété personnelle, à l’exemple des Apôtres à Jérusalem. Des coutumiers, des chartriers et des cartulaires permettent d’écrire l’histoire du réseau des prieurés de l’abbaye de Saint-Ruf au coeur de sa zone d’influence, de part et d’autre du Rhône, jusqu’à Lyon. La cohésion de la congrégation est sauvegardée par un chapitre général qui règlemente son fonctionnement économique, facilitant probablement un tournant « rentier » dans la gestion des offices et des prieurés à la fin du XIIIe siècle. La permanence de liens entre prieurés et élites locales est confirmée par l’exploitation d’un fichier de 300 chanoines environ.

Les saints et leur culte en Europe centrale au Moyen Âge (XIe-début du XVIe siècle)

Marie-Madeleine de Cevins, Olivier Marin (éd.)

L’Europe centrale n’est pas une aire, c’est un monde. Les contributions de ce volume aident à en prendre la mesure. Elles posent la question de l’existence d’un modèle de sainteté centre-européen au Moyen Âge. La géographie de la sainteté proposée voici trente ans par André Vauchez dans sa thèse sur La sainteté en Occident s’en trouve passablement bouleversée : celleci rangeait l’Europe centrale dans la partie « froide » de la christianitas, réfractaire au changement en matière de dévotions. Or, à l’examen, cet espace s’avère à la fois inventif en matière de figures saintes, particulièrement au XVe siècle, et réceptif par rapport aux nouveaux cultes.

CHURCH HISTORY & RELIGION

Transforming Landscapes of Belief in the Early Medieval Insular World and Beyond Converting the Isles II

Nancy Edwards, Máire Ní Mhaonaigh, Roy Flechner (eds)

Conversion to Christianity is arguably the most revolutionary social and cultural change that Europe experienced throughout Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. Christianization affected all strata of society and transformed not only religious beliefs and practices, but also the nature of government, the priorities of the economy, the character of kinship, and gender relations. It is against this backdrop that an international array of leading medievalists gathered under the auspices of the Converting the Isles Research Network (funded by the Leverhulme Trust) to investigate social, economic, and cultural aspects of conversion in the early medieval Insular world, covering different parts of Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia, and Iceland. This volume analyses the effects of religious conversion on landscapes of cult and on religious practice in Europe, focusing in particular on Britain and Ireland. Adopting an interdisciplinary and comparative approach, the volume investigates the interaction between different forms of belief, their coexistence and competition. It discusses the coming of writing, the power of the word, landscapes of ritual, and converting communities.The contributors include leading historians, archaeologists, linguists, and literary scholars. This is the second volume to emerge from research undertaken by contributors to the Converting the Isles Research Network and forms a companion volume to The Introduction of Christianity into the Early Medieval Insular World.

The Introduction of Christianity into the Early Medieval Insular Converting the Isles I

Roy Flechner, Máire Ní Mhaonaigh (eds)

This volume focuses on specific aspects of the introduction of Christianity into the early medieval Insular world, including the nature and degree of missionary activity involved, socio-economic stimulants for conversion, as well as the depiction and presentation of a Christian saint. Its companion volume has the transformation of landscape as its main theme. By adopting a broad comparative and crossdisciplinary approach that transcends national boundaries, the material presented here and in volume II offers novel perspectives on conversion that challenge existing historiographical narratives and draw on up-to-date archaeological and written evidence in order to shed light on central issues pertaining to the conversion of the Isles.

La controverse carolingienne sur la prédestination Histoire, textes, manuscrits

Warren Pezé, Pierre Chambert-Protat, Jeremy Thompson, Jérémy Delmulle (éd.)

La controverse carolingienne sur la double prédestination au paradis et à l’enfer (années 840-870), 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... 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.

Vaucelles Abbey

Social, Political, and Ecclesiastical Relationships in the Borderland Region of the Cambrésis, 1131-1300 Kathryn Salzer

To understand how Vaucelles flourished, we must look at the relationships that the house created and fostered with various international, regional, and local individuals and institutions. This study asserts that three principal factors influenced the foundation and development of Vaucelles. First, the abbey was fortunate in its local support. Second, the abbey was established in a political borderland. And finally, Vaucelles was a Cistercian monastery. These factors offer exceptional tools for demonstrating many features of Vaucelles’ political, social, and economic life.

Byzantine Hagiography Texts, Themes and Projects Antonio Rigo, Michele Trizio, Eleftherios Despotakis (eds)

In recent years, Byzantine hagiography has attracted renewed interest of the international community of Byzantine scholars. Their researches have analysed Byzantine hagiography in relation to the hagiographic writings composed in neighbouring areas 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.

Trent and Beyond

La Vita beati Alcuini (IXe s.). Les inflexions d’un discours de sainteté

The Karaite Mourners of Zion and the Qumran Scrolls

The Council, Other Powers, Other Cultures Michela Catto, Adriano Prosperi (eds)

The Council of Trent has been studied as a fundamental episode in European history wherein doctrinal and institutional unity was lost. Although the Council decrees nowhere refer to the contexts of the peoples met by Christopher Columbus, nor to the Cathay regions, nor to their religions, their superstitions or their political systems, the Council was nonetheless a global event. This work suggests not only reconsideration of Europe through the prism of the Tridentine decrees and the long processes of their dissemination, but also through an intercontinental consideration.

On the History of an Alternative to Rabbinic Judaism Yoram Erder

This book is dedicated to studying the Karaite Mourners of Zion – the leading faction within the Karaite movement during its formative period (9th11th century). Like all Karaites, the Mourners claimed that the Rabbinic Oral Law was not given by God but is rather the ‘commandment of man’ (Isaiah 29.13). Therefore they called for a return to the Hebrew Bible. Studying the Qumranic influence on the Karaite Mourners sheds light simultaneously on early Karaism and the Jewish sects of the Second Temple period.

NEW BOOK SERIES

MUSIC MUSICALIA ANTIQUITATIS & MEDII AEVI Art libéral essentiel au Moyen Âge, la musique est au carrefour de la pensée et des cultures. Outre son enracinement dans la philologie et les sciences historiques, la musicologie, née au XVIIIe s. développe une pluridisciplinarité dans les sciences historiques et la médiévistique, ici cadrée dans une temporalité qui inclut l’Antiquité gréco-romaine et orientale, contexte préalable essentiel au très long Moyen Âge. Grâce à ses dimensions artistiques et aux pratiques musicales contemporaines, les musiques médiévales, à l’instar du théâtre, de la poésie ou de la danse, font aussi du corpus des textes comme des sources écrites, un patrimoine culturel vivant.

Émergences du Chant Grégorien

Music, Liturgy, and the Veneration of Saints of the Medieval Irish Church in a European Context

Hearing the City in Early Modern Europe

Tess Knighton, Ascensión Mazuela-Anguita (eds)

This book opens up discussion on the liturgical music of medieval Ireland by approaching it from a multidisciplinary, European perspective. In so doing, it challenges received notions of an idiosyncratic ‘Celtic Rite’, and of the prevailing view that no manuscripts with music notation have survived from the medieval Irish Church. The contributors represent a variety of specialisms, including musicology, liturgiology, palaeography, hagiology, theology, church history, Celtic studies, French studies, and Latin.

Hearing the City is a major new contribution to the field of urban musicology in the early modern period with twenty-one essays by leading figures in the field from Europe, the USA and Australia. The urban soundscape is studied from a range of different interdisciplinary perspectives, and its scope is broad, from the major role of city minstrels in fifteenth-century Viennese urban identity to the civic problems presented by the location of opera houses in Enlightenment Naples. The individual contributions explore themes related to the complex relationships between sound and space within the urban context and between social identity and civic authorities.

French Renaissance Music and Beyond

Sources of Identity

Ann Buckley (ed.)

Soucieux de réconcilier l’érudition « grégorienne » avec les travaux des liturgistes et des philologues, Jean-François Goudesenne scrute dans la genèse du chant « grégorien », l’hypothèse d’une première phase franco-insulaire, enracinée dans l’ancienne Neustrie mérovingienne, vivifiée par les apports monastiques irlandais puis en lien avec des foyers carolingiens piémontais et lombards. Une hypothèse qui permet de reconstruire une genèse d’un grégorien décliné au pluriel, en lien avec d’autres branches. Depuis 1999, Jean-François Goudesenne est chargé de recherche à la section de musicologie de l’Institut de Recherche et d’Histoire des Textes (CNRS), fondée en Orléans par Michel Huglo en 1979. Il se spécialise dans le domaine des chants liturgiques latins de l’époque carolingienne.

Late Antique Calendrical Thought and its Reception in the Early Middle Ages

Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on the Science of Computus in Ireland and Europe, Galway, 16-18 July, 2010 Immo Warntjes, Dáibhí Ó Cróinín (eds)

Late antique and early medieval science is commonly defined by the quadrivium, the four subjects of the seven liberal arts relating to natural science: astronomy, geometry, arithmetic, and music. The seven-fold division of learning was designed in Late Antiquity by authors such as Martianus Capella, and these authors were studied intensively from the Carolingian age onwards. Because these subjects still have currency today, this leads to the anachronistic view that the artes dominated intellectual thought in Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. Quite the contrary, the artes were an idealized curriculum with limited application in practice. Certainly, the artes do not help in our understanding of the intellectual endeavour between the early fifth and the late eighth centuries. This period was dominated by computus, a calendrical science with the calculation of Easter at its core. Only computus provides a traceable continuation of scientific thought from Late Antiquity to the early Middle Ages. The key questions were the mathematical modeling of the course of the sun through the zodiac (the Julian calendar) and of the moon phases (in various lunar calendars).

Medieval Medical Treatises: The Transmission of Language and Practice Romance Philology 71/2

Defining philology in its broadest sense, Romance Philology is broad and deep in its coverage: fields of enquiry include late Latin, the medieval literatures of the Romance languages, historical and general linguistics, and textual criticism. In recent years, particular emphasis has been placed on the development of the Romance languages in the Americas. In the half century of its publication, Romance Philology established an international reputation as one of the most prestigious journals dedicated to the linguistic history and medieval literature of the Romance languages.

SCIENCE & PHILOSOPHY

Andreas Vesalius and the Fabrica in the Age of Printing

Art, Anatomy, and Printing in the Italian Renaissance Rinaldo Fernando Canalis, Massimo Ciavolella (eds)

Andreas Vesalius’s fame derives from his writing of what is perhaps the most famous book in the history of medical science, De humanis corporis fabrica (1543), a treatise that within a few years transformed the imperfect art of anatomy into a modern science. This extraordinary work, however, came into being not just because of its author’s genius and industry, but for other reasons that remain (despite a vast body of scholarship) inadequately explored. These questions, the historical moment from which they stem, and the setting in which Vesalius produced the Fabrica, form the core of this volume. Some of these significant factors include the short time during which De fabrica was produced, the debated authorship of its illustrations, and its immediate and subsequent impact on the teaching of anatomy. The book’s significance within the context of present-day views of its historical value, and the ever increasing fascination it evokes among scholars and collectors alike, are also examined.

The ‘Vademecum’ of Walahfrid Strabo Walahfrid Strabo

A modest man of great accomplishments, Walahfrid was a fine poet, teacher, abbot, gardener, liturgist, and diplomat. For a decade, he tutored Carolus iunior, youngest son of Judith and Ludwig der Fromme, who became emperor Charles the Bald. On two occasions, Walahfrid found and transcribed formulae and explanations of time series, often correcting them. By identifying Walahfrid’s sources and scripts, Professor Stevens is able to trace his life and scholarship, as they relate to Carolingian politics and schools in the first half of ninth-century Europe.

Medieval Thought Experiments

Poetry, Hypothesis, and Experience in the European Middle Ages Philip Knox, Jonathan Morton, Daniel Reeve (eds)

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.

Boethius. On Topical Differences

A Commentary Edited by Fiorella Magnano Fiorella Magnano

This volume contains the first modern commentary to Boethius’s last logical monograph entitled De topicis differentiis, his most original work written around 522 A.D., just before the incarceration and death of the Roman philosopher. This study provides a full reconstruction of the structure of the Boethian work, retraces and evaluates the sources, investigates the implications, and explains why the De topicis differentiis remains a foundational work for anyone who wants to understand the development of European Logic through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

NEW BOOK SERIES

SCANDINAVIAN STUDIES THE PRE-CHRISTIAN RELIGIONS OF THE NORTH This series of volumes on the subject of the pre-Christian religions of Scandinavia (broadly considered) offers a new assessment of the religion and mythology of early Scandinavia, based on the most up-todate research in literature, art, archaeology, and the history of religions.

Theorizing Old Norse Myth Stefan Brink, Lisa Collinson (eds)

This collection explores the theoretical and methodological foundations through which we understand Old Norse myths and the mythological world, and the medieval sources in which we find expressions of these. Some contributions take a broad, comparative perspective; some address specific details of Old Norse myths and mythology; and some devote their attention to questions concerning either individual gods and deities, or more topographical and spatial matters.

Visions of North in Premodern Europe

Dolly Jørgensen, Virginia Langum (eds)

Covering historical periods as diverse as Ancient Greece to eighteenth-century France, and drawing on a variety of disciplines including cultural history, literary studies, art history, environmental history, and the history of science, the contributions gathered here combine to shed light on one key question: how was the North constructed as a place and a people? Selected texts have been compiled into a useful appendix that will be of considerable value to scholars.

Research and Reception

Volume I: From the Middle Ages to c. 1830 Margaret Clunies Ross (ed.)

Over more than a thousand years since preChristian religions were actively practised, European – and later contemporary – society has developed a fascination with the beliefs of northern Europe before the arrival of Christianity, which have been the subject of a huge range of popular and scholarly theories, interpretations, and uses. Indeed, the pre-Christian religions of the North have exerted a phenomenal influence on modern culture, appearing in everything from the names of days of the week to Hollywood blockbusters. Scholarly treatments have been hardly less varied. Theories – from the Middle Ages until today – have depicted these preChristian religious systems as dangerous illusions, the works of Satan, representatives of a lost protoIndo-European religious culture, a form of ‘natural’ religion, and even as a system non-indigenous in origin, derived from cultures outside Europe. The Research and Reception strand of the PreChristian Religions of the North project establishes a definitive survey of the current and historical uses and interpretations of pre-Christian mythology and religious culture, tracing the many ways in which people both within and outside Scandinavia have understood and been influenced by these religions, from the Christian Middle Ages to contemporary media of all kinds. The present volume (I) traces the reception down to the early nineteenth century, while Volume II takes up the story from c.1830 down to the present day and the burgeoning of interest across a diversity of new as well as old media.

Supernatural Encounters in Old Norse Literature and Tradition

Les ports des mers nordiques à l’époque viking (VIIe-Xe siècle)

The Icelandic sagas have long been famous for their alleged realism, and within this conventional view, references to the supernatural have often been treated as anomalies. Yet, as this volume demonstrates, such elements were in fact an important part of Old Norse literature and tradition, and their study can provide new and intriguing insights into the world-view of the medieval Icelanders. It also raises important questions about the established boundaries between different saga genres and challenges the way these texts have traditionally been approached.

Ce livre cherche à comprendre les interactions entre ces ports et leurs arrière-pays et à mettre en lumière les réseaux dans lesquels ils s’inscrivent, en prenant en compte les différents jeux d’échelle. Il s’agit de s’interroger sur les spécificités de ces communautés portuaires émergentes, tout en reconsidérant leur place dans les réseaux économiques du premier Moyen Âge à la lumière des récentes découvertes, qui bouleversent les approches traditionnelles, en Europe et même au-delà.

SCANDINAVIAN STUDIES

Islands in the West

SKALDIC POETRY OF THE SCANDINAVIAN MIDDLE AGES The Norse-Icelandic Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages project aims to produce a new edition of the known corpus of skaldic verse, including runic inscriptions in metrical form. In practice this means editing all poetry supposed to be from earliest times until c. 1400, which does not belong to the collection in the Codex Regius of the Elder Edda and related collections. Each edition is based on distinct source categories arranged in assumed chronological order, so that the manuscript contexts in which the poetry has been preserved will be kept in view. This basis of selection, plus the inclusion of an English translation and notes, should prove useful to readers outside skaldic studies, such as historians, archaeologists and scholars of other medieval literatures, who have previously found skaldic verse rather inaccessible.

Classical Myth and the Medieval Norse and Irish Geographical Imagination

ALSO AVAILABLE:

Poetry from the Kings’ Sagas

Matthias Egeler

This monograph traces the history of one of the most prominent types of geographical myths of the North-West Atlantic Ocean: transmarine otherworlds of blessedness and immortality. The book explores the historical entanglements of these imaginative places in a wider European context. It follows how these Norse otherworld myths adopt, adapt, and transform concepts from early Irish vernacular tradition and Medieval Latin geographical literature, and pursues their connection to the geographical mythology of classical antiquity.

From Mythical Times to c. 1035 Diana Whaley (ed.)

Poetry in fornaldarsögur Margaret Clunies Ross (ed.)

This volume contains all the anonymous poetry from medieval Icelandic mythical-heroic sagas, such as Heiðreks saga, Gautreks saga, and other sagas set in prehistoric Scandinavia and more exotic locations. This diverse body of poetry is treated here for the first time as significant in its own right rather than as an appendage to the Poetic Edda. It also contains a new edition with extensive notes of Gunnlaugr Leifsson’s Merlínuspá, based on Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Prophecies of Merlin, as well as the littleknown but entertaining Skaufhala bálkr by Svartr á Hofstöðum, a mock-heroic poem about a fox.

“Poetry from the Kings’ Sagas 1, like the other published volumes of the series, is stunning in the amount of information - both documentary and interpretive - that it makes available, and perhaps equally stunning in its implication of how much is still unknown or uncertain and remains to be discovered. This volume is particularly wide in the scope of its interest: poetic form, the prosimetrical genre, transmission of texts, Norwegian history, pre-Christian Nordic religion, and much more.” Martin Chase, in: The Medieval Review, January 2015 2 vols, ccxv + 1206 p., 160 × 240 mm, 2012, ISBN 978-2-503-51896-1 Hardback: € 165 Series: Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages, vol. 1 Available

Intellectual Culture in Medieval Scandinavia, c. 1100-1350

Poetry from Treatises on Poetics

This book investigates the nature of intellectual activity in the Middle Ages from the perspective of medieval Scandinavia by discussing how a multimodal and multilingual Scandinavian culture emerged through the dynamic interchange of foreign and local impulses in the minds of creative intellectuals. By deploying cognitive theory, this volume conceptualizes intellectual culture as the result of the individual’s cognition, which incorporates physical perceptions of the world, memory and creation, rationality, emotionality and spirituality, and decision making. In doing so, it elucidates the diversity of social roles that could be assumed by people engaged in the activity of thinking.

This volume presents most of the poetry contained in the Scandinavian poetic and grammatical treatises, such as the poetry in Skáldskaparmál, the þulur, Háttatal, the Third and Fourth Grammatical Treatises and Háttalykill. Included also are Málsháttakvæði and stanzas from Laufás Edda not recorded elsewhere.
