An inside and outside view of the power

society. 

Negotiating the Political is a fascinating 

and wide-ranging collection of 

C’est dans la France des XIV e et XV e 

siècles, en particulier chez les Valois, 

que le mécénat princier connut son 

âge d’or. Jean de Berry, frère du roi 

Charles V, fut certainement un de ceux 

qui illustra ce phénomène avec le plus 

de faste. L’historiographie brossa en 

revanche un tout autre portrait de son 

neveu, Jean sans Peur, le réduisant à 

case studies on the creation of identity 

in late medieval and Renaissance urban 

society. At a time of far-reaching 

political, religious and social changes, 

towns were at the forefront of this 

transformation of European society,

loin du prince cultivé amateur d’art. Et 

pourtant, nous devons au mécénat du 

duc de Bourgogne quelques-unes des 

plus belles réalisations artistiques de 

l’époque, à l’image du Livre des merveilles 

du monde qu’il fit réaliser pour 

offrir à Jean de Berry. La qualité des 

sources conservées a permis de reconstituer 

les collections de manuscrits 

en possession de Jean sans Peur et de

méconnu.

their citizens frequently engaged in the 

struggle for autonomy. When negotiating 

relationships with the Church, 

the Crown and within the town’s own 

competing constituencies, townsmen 

were able to manipulate factors such 

as time and space in their pursuit of 

honour, status, commemoration, reputation 

and power. 

The resulting town studies are arranged 

thematically–the view from 

the inside; the view from the outside– 

being set within contemporary cultural 

developments. Thus the collection 

highlights the differing strategies and 

approaches employed by towns, seeing 

such variation as indicative of the 

importance of the particular within 

the study of European urban society. 

The introductory discussion explores 

overarching themes and cross-cultural 

similarities, and Professor Caroline 

Barron provides a masterly concluding 

essay. This volume is an exciting development 

that sheds fresh light on the 

history of northern European urban 

communities.

This collection of twenty-one essays is 

based on papers originally delivered at 

a conference commemorating the nine 

hundredth anniversary of Anselm’s 

death in 1109. The breadth of the essays 

presented in this volume reflects 

the enduring fascination with Anselm 

and his world in ways that stress both 

the continuities and discontinuities 

with the present-day 

ties during the transition from the Roman 

empire to a political world defined 

by a different kingdoms and peoples in 

western Europe. It addresses ‘ethnicity’ 

in the context of alternative modes of 

identification, mainly Christianity and 

Romanness. To widen the horizon of 

current debates, it shows that the ancient 

dichotomy between barbarians 

and Romans is hardly helpful in understanding 

the complex transitions 

to a post-imperial age in the West. In a

Review 

Anselm’s importance is rediscovered 

in every generation, and this 

splendid volume, marking the nine 

hundredth anniversary of Anselm’s 

death, bears witness to the continuing 

fruitfulness of these encounters. 

The authors examine with fresh 

eyes the long history of Anselm’s reception: 

first, among his contemporaries 

at Bec and Canterbury, and 

then in the twelfth-century ‘Renaissance’. 

The subsequent history of 

that reception and the transformation 

in the late medieval schools 

and in the vernacular literature of 

the later Middle Ages provide the 

materials for two more sections of 

the volume, and a cluster of essays at 

the close tackles the question of An- 


broad sweep of regional examples, from 

Spain and North Africa to Dalmatia 

and the British Isles, the book follows 

the unfolding of Christian and barbarian 

identities: How were both the Roman 

and the barbarian past used for 

the formation and legitimation of new 

identities? 

The ‘scripts of Romanness’ changed in 

the early Middle Ages, and so did the 

significance of othering pagans, heretics, 

or barbarians. The contributions 

trace the tenacity and the ambiguity 

of traditional narratives and signs of 

distinction: manuscripts and material 

remains, costume and epigraphy, historiography 

and hagiography were used 

in creative ways to shape civic, local, 

or religious communities. Many of the 

contributions show the fundamental 

importance of Christian ‘strategies of 

identification’ for creating a stronger 

political role for ethnicity in the post- 

Roman kingdoms. They thus follow a 

line of argument that has also been explored 

in the book’s companion volume 

in this series, Strategies of Identification: 

Ethnicity and Religion in Early Medieval 

Europe (CELAMA 13). 

selm’s contested influence on writers 

and thinkers of the twentieth

voyage of discovery spanning

the great medieval authors whose 

influence has flourished in many 

different settings and continues to 

work even in our own times.

that attended the publication of the 

Sentences. At the same time, she also 

traces the growing popularity of the 

Sentences and its increasing prestige 

and importance among the literary 

elites of Northern Europe. 

The book argues that the allegations 

of error made against Lombard’s 

Christology and Trinitarian theology 

in the period between 1156 and 1215 

must be understood in the longer history 

of intellectual controversy in the 

Schools of Northern Europe. In the 

trials of Berengar of Tours, Abelard, 

and Gilbert of Poitiers, the author 

uncovers a consistent tradition of 

critique within the schools that she 

shows to inform subsequent criticisms 

of Peter Lombard’s intellectual 

legacy. Concomitantly, she explores 

how responses made in support of 

the Sentences, against men such as 

Gerhoh of Reichersberg and Joachim 

of Fiore, consolidated the emerging 

canonical status of the work as a

MedieVAl WoMen: 

textS And contextS 





This collection of essays, which is focused 

on the literacies of nuns in medieval 

Europe, is designed to bring 

together specialists working on diverse 

geographical areas to create a dialogue 

complex set of negotiations that governed 

contact between a male priest 

and his female charge. Although religious 

women were undeniably reliant 

about the Latin and vernacular texts 

nuns read, wrote, and exchanged, 

primarily from the late eighth to the 

mid-sixteenth centuries. This is the 

first concentrated study that examines 

the literacy of nuns in a comparative 

fashion and at the same time pays close 

attention to the individual textual and 

cultural complexities. These essays seek 

to develop an understanding of how 

women religious across Europe interacted 

with books, as writers, readers, 

patrons, and benefactors/inheritors of 

books. This project also seeks to draw 

on the rich body of scholarship that 

currently exists about nuns in England, 

Germany, the Netherlands, and 

Sweden to find manuscript connections 

between women from different 

regions and nationalities, even as it is 

intended to move beyond these traditional 

centres of women’s literacies to 

investigate and problematize issues of 

literacy in other regions and nations. 

This volume investigates the topic of 

literacy primarily from the palaeographical 

evidence of the manuscripts 

and by discussing records of book 


on priests for pastoral care (the cura 

monialium) throughout the medieval 

period, it does not follow that men 

saw such care as burdensome or that 

women were spiritually subordinate in 

their relations with priests. Within the 

context of the cura, ordained men and 

professed women met regularly, often 

developing intimate friendships and 

providing each other with crucial spiritual 

support, despite prevailing fears 

that contact between the sexes must 

result in sexual temptation and sin. 

Examining the various interactions of 

priests with religious women, Partners 

in Spirit traces the ways in which both 

viewed the cura, highlighting the fluidity 

of gender and authority within the 

medieval religious life. In so doing, the 

volume suggests new ways of considering 

the intersection of gender, religion, 

and spiritual power within the medieval 

world. 

ownership in convents and other more 

external evidence, both literary and 

historical. In so doing the contributors 

engage in examining such issues as the 

representations of nuns and literacy, 

their participation in the book trade 

and the inter-monastic circulation and 

translation of texts.

Gildas is the earliest insular writer who 

has left us substantial legacy of theological

not seen as a theological writer but as a

of the Germanic invasions. Yet Gildas 

saw himself as a prophet charged

studies. The volume authors 

approach the common theme of sacrality 

in landscape from such various 

viewpoints as archaeology, philology, 

history of religion, theology, history, 

classical studies, and art history. A 

common theme in all articles is a theoretical 

approach, complemented by 

illustrative case studies from the Scandinavian, 

Baltic, or Classical worlds. 

Aspects of pagan religion, as well as 

Christianity and the establishment of 

the early Church, are considered within 

both geographical setting and social 

landscape, while the study of maps, 

place names, and settlement patterns 

introduces new methodologies and 

perspectives to expose and define the 

sacral landscape of these regions. The 

contributions are put into perspective 

by a comparison with research into the 

sacral landscapes of Central Europe 

and the Classical world. 

New interdisciplinary research methods 

and new models have been developed

call took was that of an indictment of 

those groups based on the testimonia 

of the Christian scriptures. 

This book is a study both of Gildas’s 

use of the scriptures (his text, his 

canon, his exegetical strategies) and of 

how, from the way he interprets sacred 

history, he created a distinctive theology 

of the church and of salvation.

This volume examines the role of epigraphic 

literacy within the newly introduced 

Christian culture and the 

developing tradition of literacy in 

Northern Europe during the Viking 

Age and the High Middle Ages. The 

epigraphic material under scrutiny 

here originates from Scandinavia and 

North-West Russia – two regions that 

were converted to Christianity around 

the turn of the first millennium. Besides 

traditional categories of epigraphic 

sources, such as monumental 

inscriptions on durable materials, the 

volume is concerned with more casual 

inscriptions on less permanent materials. 

The first part of the book discusses 

a form of monumental epigraphic 

literacy manifested on Scandinavian 

rune stones, with a particular focus on 

their Christian connections. The second 

part examines exchanges between 

Christian culture and ephemeral products 

of epigraphic literacy, as expressed 

through Scandinavian rune sticks, East 

Slavonic birchbark documents and 

church graffiti. The essays look beyond 


these headings, a comprehensive Index 

of subjects, place names and personal 

names is provided, which will allow 

the user to quickly find publications 

relevant to his research. A short Introduction 

precedes the bibliography. 

Progress in the field of study over the 

past two decades is outlined, with attention 

to those recent developments 

which have proved the most productive. 

At the same time, something is 

said about the growing insights which 

have led the bibliography’s organisation 

to be changed substantially since 

its previous edition in 1999, which already 

numbered 1.580 items. Not only 

the more than fourfold increase in the 

number of items made a new edition

vers 1210 au châtelain de Lille 

Roger IV, constitue la plus ancienne 

histoire universelle écrite en langue 

française. Son auteur, Wauchier de Denain, 

y consacre un long récit à la Macédoine 

et à Alexandre le Grand, qui n’a 

encore jamais été édité. L’importance 

majeure de l’Histoire ancienne jusqu’à 

César pour la naissance de l’historiographie 

médiévale en langue française 

est confirmée par sa grande diffusion : 

relle. Cette complexité s’exprime particulièrement 

dans la variété des langues 

vulgaires. C’est de cette richesse que ce 

livre veut rendre compte. 

Le parcours proposé ici est triple : 

- les traductions en regard des textes 

originaux, avec leurs commentaires 

philologiques, permettent de s’initier 

rapidement aux règles linguistiques 

nécessaires à une lecture suivie 

- le choix des documents, qui tente de 

refléter ce qui subsiste – et même ce 

qui a existé – des textes médiévaux, et 

leur classement en fonction des pratiques 

sociales et culturelles offrent 

un panorama complet et représentatif 

des registres de langues, depuis les plus 

modestes chartes de ventes jusqu’aux 

récits de fiction les plus élaborés 

- les chapitres introductifs et les bibliographies 

de travail constituent un 

guide pour la recherche historique 

nous en avons pour preuves le nombre 

très élevé des manuscrits conservés,

A study of John Trevisa’s rhetorical 

arguments for the value, necessity, and 

authority of translation in his English 

Polychronicon. 

John Trevisa was one of the most prodigious 

translators living in England in 

the fourteenth century. His numerous 

translations of works from Latin into 

English helped to ensure the creation 

and perpetuation of late-medieval vernacular 

history, literature, and culture 

in Britain. His translation of the Poly- 

This book, with roots in a conference 

held in Iceland in May 2008, contains 

a series of articles reflecting modern 

approaches to the text, context, and 

performance of the Old Norse poem 

Völuspá, perhaps the best known and 

most discussed of all the Eddic poems. 

Rather than attempting to cover Eddic 

or Skaldic poetry as a genre, the 

main aim of this book is to present an 

overview of the ‘state of the art’ with 

regard to one particular Eddic poem. 

It focuses especially on the poem’s possible 

context within the apocalyptic 

tradition of Northern Europe in the 

early medieval period. The approaches 

of the articles range from placing the 

poem within the pre-Christian oral 

tradition to placing it within the written 

and liturgical context of Christianity. 

Two other chapters offer a possible 

context for the poem by examining the 

nature and background of the early 

medieval image of the Apocalypse 

known to have been on display in 

chronicon, a universal history of the 

world originally compiled by Ranulf 

Higden, is both his magnum opus and 

his opportunity to present rhetorical 

arguments for the value, necessity, and 

authority of translation. 

Through his paratextual “Dialogue 

between a Lord and a Clerk on Translation” 

and prefatory letter to Lord 

Thomas Berkeley as well as his intertextual 

explanatory notes to the Polychronicon, 

John Trevisa explores the

Iceland. While the approaches are focused 

on one specific poem, they are 

nonetheless applicable to many other 

Eddic works. 

tasks of the translator. Trevisa emphasizes 

the historical contributions of 

vernacular English translators, the role 

of divine inspiration in the translation 

process, and the importance of balancing 

reason and reliance on authority in 

the study of history. Trevisa’s rhetorical 

moves suggest an interest in reaching 

the broadest possible audience, ranging 

from the lay nobility to priests and 

clerics. 

It appears that Trevisa wanted to provide 

priests with an English Polychronicon 

that could help them understand 

the historical context of the Bible and 

help them compose vernacular sermons 

for laypeople. After the Constitutions 

of Archbishop Arundel forbid 

unauthorized possession of English 

Bibles in the early fifteenth century, 

the fortunes of Trevisa’s Polychronicon 

might have been in jeopardy, but 

William Caxton re-printed the chronicle 

for a new generation of readers 

in 1482. Along with Caxton’s Golden 

Legend, the printed Polychronicon 

provided a new audience with biblical 

stories in their own language when a 

complete Bible translation was denied 

them.

The present collection explores a hitherto 

understudied body of Nordic 

medieval literature which, although 

overlooked in traditional, languagebased 

narratives, was in fact crucial in 

shaping social and religious identities. 

By drawing on the ‘performance turn’ 

in cultural studies, the volume identifies 

a number of minor and peripheral 

literary forms and texts that had 

a vital connection to ritual and ritualized 

speech. These neglected traditions 

therefore offer an alternative 

insight into Nordic literary life and 

the sets of cultural expression, or storyworlds, 

underlying Nordic culture. 

The collected studies explore different 

aspects of verbal performances 

as a primary vehicle for the Nordic 

storyworlds, with a preference for 

the Christian over the pagan traditions. 

Emphasis is placed on Latin, 

Old Norse, and Finnish traditions 

that were retold and reproduced over 

time. These ‘living’ literary forms highlight 

the importance of non-canonical 

texts for the interpretation of contact 

between the peripheries and centres 

of Nordic culture. Through the focus

Collection 2012 

This book is devoted to the study of 

multilingual Britain in the later medieval 

period, from the Norman Con- 

ed to settle down in the so-called 

‘Danelaw’ amongst the Anglo-Saxon 

inhabitants, and brought with them 

quest to John Skelton. It brings together 

experts from different disciplines 

– history, linguistics, and literature – 

in a joint effort to recover the complexities 

of spoken and written communication 

in the Middle Ages. Each 

author focuses on one specific text 

or text type, and demonstrates by example 

what careful analysis can reveal 

about the nature of medieval multilingualism 

and about medieval attitudes 

to the different living languages of later 

medieval Britain. There are chapters 

on charters, sermons, religious prose, 

glossaries, manorial records, biblical 

translations, chronicles, and the macaronic 

poetry of William Langland and 

John Skelton. By addressing the full 

range of languages spoken and written 

in later medieval Britain (Latin, 

French, Old Norse, Welsh, Cornish, 

English, Dutch, and Hebrew), this collection 

reveals the linguistic situation 

of the period in its true diversity and 

shows the resourcefulness of medieval 

people when faced with the need to 

communicate. For medieval writers 

and readers, the ability to move be- 


cultural traditions and linguistic elements 

that are still a very significant 

part of our lives and our speech in the 

twenty-first century. 

This book analyses the first Norse 

terms to be recorded in English. After 

revising the list of terms recorded in 

Old English texts which can be considered 

to be Norse-derived, the author 

explores their dialectal and chronological 

distribution, as well as the semantic 

and stylistic relationship which the 

Norse-derived terms established with 

their native equivalents (when they 

existed). This approach helps to clarify 

questions such as: Why were the terms 

borrowed? At what point did the 

terms stop being identified as ‘foreign’? 

Why is a particular term used in a particular 

context? What can the terms 

tell us about the Anglo-Scandinavian 

sociolinguistic relations? 

tween languages opened up a wealth 

of possibilities: possibilities for subtle 

changes of register, for counterpoint, 

for linguistic playfulness, and, perhaps 

most importantly, for texts which extend 

a particular challenge to the reader 

to engage with them.

munity who were accused of abducting, 

torturing, and strangling him as 

a way of obtaining Christian blood 

to use in their rituals. The princebishop 

of Trent orchestrated a campaign 

against the Jews: poets and 

humanists wrote about the case on 

the basis of first-hand knowledge or 

acquaintance with the trial records 

and provided detailed accounts of 

the supposed Jewish conspiracy and 

murder. The ‘blood libel’ against the 

Jews was familiar to most Europeans 

but the tales from Trent made available 

in English here for the first time 

were unprecedented in their detail, 

savagery of denunciation, and scope 

of circulation thanks to the new medium 

of print. As a result the story of 

Simon’s ‘martyrdom’ and miracles, as 

well as the prosecution and execution 

of the Jews, resonated in the European 

consciousness for centuries.

étudeS renAiSSAnteS 

In the introduction to his Early Netherlandish 

Painting, Erwin Panofsky 

characterised 15 th -century European 

painting with an opposition between 

the art of Italy and that of Flanders, 

and significantly, he recalled that in 

the eyes of a Luther or of a Michelangelo, 

no other School deserved attention. 

Six centuries later, Spanish art 

of this period remains little known 

outside the Iberian Peninsula. The fact 

that a large number of the works of art 

are still kept in their original location 

Orley, a major witness of the transition. 

Until now, research has been 

concentrating on the artist through his 

superb tapestries. Yet, from the end of 

the first decade of the 16 th century to 

1521, when he signed the monumental 

Job and Lazarus Polyptych (Brussels, 

MRBAB/KMSKB, Inv. 1822), 

the artist produced paintings which 

integrated more and more shapes from 

the Italian peninsula. Did this change 

in perspective lead to significant differences 

in terms of workshop practices? 

How can works be best characterized 

when they make up the hard core of a 

catalogue with changing frontiers? In 

what way can archives shed new light 

on the artist’s activity? Those questions 

are at the centre of a catalogue and essays, 

which aim to renew the vision of 

Bernard van Orley’s painting, on the 

surely plays a part in this, but there is 

also a lasting prejudice that this art is 

aesthetically and intellectually little 

exciting. Retables were then the utmost 

artistic expression. At first sight, 

they mostly look the same. Because 

this art seems changeless, its exegesis 

has been routine and vague. 

Visual Liturgy challenges this situation. 

Focusing on the Aragonese city 

of Valencia, then at the height of its 

pride and glory, it examines a school of 

painters, which reflects a wider scene, 

namely the civic and religious preoc-

Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium. 

cupations of a whole culture. Not 

only does it provide a comprehensive 

view of current research on Valencian 

painting, it connects it to the wider 

context of Valencian piety and tackles 

the dialectics at work in civic culture: 

how the monarchy took hold of the 

municipality; how foreign influences 

challenged local tradition; how sophisticated 

altarpieces emerged from 

the standard stock of artistic production; 

how, finally, the liturgy prevented 

ruptures between the religion of 

the learned and more popular, even at 

times slightly unorthodox, expressions 

of the faith. 

Visual Liturgy thus provides a better 

understanding of 15 th -century Spanish 

art. It sheds important new light 

on the birth of an artistic school in a 

context of competing foreign influences, 

and on the reception of such influences 

into a radically different culture; 

finally, it is the first attempt to explore 

the meaning of Valencian altarpieces 

with reference to their cultural, spiritual 

and liturgical context of creation.

This richly illustrated volume provides 

a translation and critical edition of the 

opening part of the Felsina pittrice, 

which focuses on the art of late medieval 

Bologna. The text is unusual in the 

context of the Felsina pittrice as a whole 

in that it seeks to record what survives 

in the city, rather than focusing on individual 

artists. In response to Vasari’s 

account of the Renaissance of painting 

in Florence, Malvasia offers a colorful 

and valuable portrait of Trecento painting 

in Bologna, noting the location and 

condition of destroyed or whitewashed 

frescoes, dismantled polyptychs, and 

paintings for which no other record 

survives. Malvasia provides crucial 

information on works by important 

fourteenth-century painters such as 

Lippo di Dalmasio, Simone dei Crocefissi, 

and Vitale da Bologna. Included 

in the volume are historical notes to 

the text and to the transcriptions of the 

Scritti originali, published here in their 

entirety for the first time. The notes 

enrich our understanding of individual 

works and identify the sources Malvasia 

used. Elizabeth Cropper’s introductory 

essay serves to establish the significance 

of Malvasia as a historian of art, while 

Carlo Alberto Girotto’s bibliographical 

essay analyses the production and reception 

of the Felsina pittrice as a whole.

contemporary account of the 

spectacular four-day celebrations that 

took place in Pesaro in May 1475 to 

mark the marriage of Costanzo Sforza 

Lord of Pesaro and Camilla d’Aragona

both in manuscript and early 

print in an anonymous narration that 

describes in great detail the arrival of 

the bride and her welcome procession 

into Pesaro; the actual marriage cer-

that followed; the pageants, presentation

This present edition of the text includes

welcomed the bride at the city gates

Ce volume traite des stalles dans l’espace

deux autres grandes composantes : le 

jubé et le « groupe » autel-retable. 

Cet ensemble « tripartite » est non 

seulement intéressant d’un point de 

vue structurel et liturgique, mais également 

iconographique par la juxtaposition 

d’une iconographie profane 

(sur les stalles) dans un espace sacré 

(le chœur). Cette thématique développée 

ici aboutit autant à la découverte 

de l’importance du corps à travers les 

stalles qu’à la cohérence de l’aménagement 

sculpté de l’espace du chœur. Cet 

ouvrage établit un lien entre la tripar- 


quet; and further colourful, unusually 

interesting illustrations of the ballets, 

fireworks and triumphs of the final 

two days of the celebrations. 

In addition to the Introduction that 

provides the reader with the historical 

background and biographical details 

of the protagonists and personalities 

of this special occasion, Dr Bridgeman 

also adds helpful and highly 

informative annotations to the narration 

itself. In addition she provides 

full descriptions and explanations of 

the illustrations – all reproduced here 

in colour – and devotes a separate appendix 

to listing and explaining all the 

dishes served at the wedding banquet, 

together with their ingredients and 

recipes.

changed so swiftly after the Fall of Antwerp, 

that art theory in the Low Countries 

originated in the wake of Iconoclasm 

(De Heere, Lampsonius, ...), 

or that painting in the second half of 

the sixteenth century saw the impetus 

of new styles, genres, specialisations 

(Aertsen, De Beuckelaer, …)? Iconoclasm 

forced people to think about 

art. The generation of painters active 

in the two decades between the 

Beeldenstorm and the fall of Antwerp 

did this by questioning the decorum 

of the work of their famous predecessors. 

This volume, with contributions 

by eminent specialists in the field, addresses 

some of these questions and by 

doing so marks the beginning of a reassessment 

of one of the most fascinating 

and complex but also understudied 

periods in Netherlandish Art History.

This book provides a detailed description 

and interpretation of multiple 

aspects of sculpture from late Byzantine 

monuments. Although individual 

monuments of the late Byzantine period 

have been exhaustively published 

and analyzed, the role of their sculptural 

decoration is usually overlooked. 

Whereas architectural features and, 

especially, wall paintings are treated 

in full detail, sculpture is approached 

as a mere decorative art which complements 

the overall appearance of a 

building. However, careful examination 

of late Byzantine sculptures found 

in situ or through excavation, as well 

as research into museum collections, 

reveals that late Byzantine sculptors 


tryside, and viewers would have followed 

the narrative recounted across 

the panel, following the action from 

station to station along painted roads 

and pathways, through gateways and 

portals and implied passageways as 

pedestrians in their imaginations. 

This study considers the intersections 

between narrative art and a range of 

devotional practices current in the 

late Middle Ages and early modern 

period. This body of practices stood 

in a symbiotic relationship with the 

visual imagery, informing viewers’ interaction 

with images, which in turn 

affected their understanding of these 

other practices. In other words, these 

images must be understood as part of 

a broader tradition of ritual and symbolic 

life. As such, the study offers a 

valuable re-evaluation of Memling and 

his art within the religious practice of 

his times, while opening up some of 

his most ingenious and idiosyncratic 

works that are little known by nonspecialists. 

had reached a very high degree of artistic 

accomplishment and that their 

creations should be treated as works of 

art of the highest quality. Moreover, by 

interpreting each work, even those of a 

purely decorative nature, according to 

the space it occupied, by deciphering 

what is depicted (including religious 

themes and political symbols), as well 

as by taking into account the wider 

context within which sculpture was 

produced during the period under investigation, 

one can extract invaluable 

information concerning the artistic 

climate and the social circumstances 

which led to the development of late 

Byzantine sculpture.

of varying lengths, gathered 

into five volumes, describes and relates 

the history of individual buildings or 

monuments which were, according to 

the author, threatened by the waves of 

vandalism occurring in France during 

the early years of the French Revolution. 

Neither the circumstances of the 

book’s writing nor of its printing and 

marketing are easily elucidated, and 

the very form in which it was issued 

is one that requires careful investigation 

by a bibliographer. A careful collation 

of the Antiquités reveals that 

the traditional book form was subtly 

modified in an attempt to allow readers 

better to appropriate it for themselves. 

Amongst the more intriguing 

aspects of this book is the story of 

its reception. Hailed at the time of 

its publication as being a work of the 

greatest importance which should find 

a place in every library, the Antiquités 

very quickly fell from public favour. 

By now, it is generally familiar only to 

those engaged in research on the history 

of French architectural heritage 


or who are trying to find engravings illustrating 

a building at the time of the 

Revolution or before.

by the Inquisition in the Monastery

heresy. Taking the Vulgate version of 

the psalms as his basic text, Buchanan 

styled his paraphrases after classical authors, 

principally Horace. Dedicated 

to Mary, Queen of Scots (mother of 

James VI), the work aroused the admiration 

of his first biographer, Henri 

Estienne, who described Buchanan as 

‘poetarum sui saeculi facile princeps’.

eArly europeAn reSeArch 

This is an exemplary study of Medieval 

scholarship, Classical reception and 

philosophical Sinophilia as propaganda 

devices in 18 th century England. 

Thomas Gordon (c.1691-1750) was 

a prolific Scottish journalist and pamphleteer 

working in eighteenth-century 

London. His works circulated in a variety 

of forms and for many years in 

Europe and the British North American 

colonies. Gordon’s conception of 

‘republicanism’ was essentially that of 

a secular and tolerant society free from 

providential designs; his works reflected 

a lifelong commitment to defending the 

his oeuvre and to the reprinting of his 

works from the 1960s onwards, while 

Allen’s edition has proved the basis for 

research for scholars of almost every as- 

rule of law, the balance of powers, and 

the rotation of representative bodies. 

This study sets out to produce a fuller 

profile of Gordon, to investigate his specific 

and controversial contribution as a 

political theorist, and finally to present 

for the first time an annotated edition of 

his unfinished and unpublished (mainly 

medieval) History of England: a highly 

readable text whose main metanarrative 

theme is the struggle between ‘the Government 

of Will’ and ‘the Government 

of Laws’ – with the struggle between 

‘God’s Will’ and ‘the Will of the Clergy’ 

as an essential rhetorical subtheme. 

The book also deals with a hitherto 

unexplored aspect of Gordon’s thinking, 

his Sinophilia. Gordon’s ‘sensible 

Chinese’ is drawn in as a rhetorical 

tool to voice bitter judgements on both 

Catholic and Protestant inconsistencies. 

By resorting to the utopian model 

of a distant Orient, Gordon aimed to 

expose the severe impact on Western 

societies of clerical interference in State 

affairs, concluding that ‘men who are 

oppressed, or who foresee inevitable 

oppression, will be naturally thinking 

of the means of security and escape’, or 

possibly dreaming about distant civilizations. 

pect of Renaissance humanism and the 

Reformation. 

The conference aimed to investigate as 

many aspects as possible of Erasmus’s 

literary, educational, rhetorical, and 

theological activities and of their influence 

on the emerging Europe of the early 

modern era. The essays collected here 

present a wide-ranging overview of the 

current state of Erasmus scholarship, 

including a survey of the discoveries of 

letters to and from Erasmus unknown 

to Allen, the printing for the first time 

since 1529 of the opening section of an 

important letter to him from Germain 

de Brie, an account of the crucial role 

played by Ulrich von Hutten in the 

publication of the dialogue Iulius exclusus 

e coelis, and several studies of the 

influence of Erasmian thought on early 

modern political and theological controversies. 

With its broad coverage of 

the current field, the volume will prove 

indispensable to Erasmus scholars.

Thomas Gordon – republican, deist, 

translator of Tacitus, and mildly 

pornographic anti-clerical – 

is among the most versatile and 

interesting of the opposition journalists 

of 18 th -century England. 

In presenting this edition of his 

unfinished history of England, 

Giovanni Tarantino has shown 

us this lively figure in yet another 

light and heightened our understanding 

of radical Whig culture.

circumstances of the male witch as a 

gendered context for the accusations 

of witchcraft against him. 

Instead of seeking to identify a single 

causal condition or overarching gendered 

circumstance whereby men were 

accused of witchcraft, this study examines 

the way that masculinity shaped 

the accusations of witchcraft made 

against each man. In each case, a range 

of masculine social and cultural roles 

became implicated in accusations of 

witchcraft, making it possible to explore 

how beliefs in witches interacted 

with early modern English gender cultures 

to support the religious, legal, 

and cultural logic of the male witch. 

The result is an approach to early modern 

English witchcraft prosecution 

that includes, rather than problematizes, 

the male witch.

MediterrAneAn nexuS 

(1100-1700) 

This collection of thirteen essays by 

leading scholars in the field is the 

product of an international research 

project on early modern Cypriot 

culture. Preliminary versions of the 

essays have been discussed during an 

expert meeting of the contributors 

(November 2009, at the University of 

Cyprus). 

The present collection is the first of 

its kind centered on intellectual exchanges 

during the Renaissance period, 

deepening their source-based 

documentary study, as well as our 

knowledge of the island’s culture 

and heritage in relation to political, 

scholarly and religious life in Western 

countries. The volume assures considerable 

range and also offers new 

and ground-breaking discoveries, 

both about the relationship between 

religion and literature, theology and 

spirituality. 

Of the long line of renowned antischolastic 

intellectuals who were attracted 

to Carthusian circles, Petrarch 

was undoubtedly the first. By revealing 

the Carthusian imprint on Petrarch’s 

thought as well as elements of 

Carthusian spirituality present in his 

texts, this book argues that Carthusianism 

was an essential component 

of Petrarch’s Christian humanism and 

hermeneutics of the self. An interdisciplinary 

approach, involving parallel 

readings of Petrarchan texts, early monastic 

and Carthusian primary sources, 

together with more recent theological 

reflections, offers new insights into 

the role of Carthusianism in the intellectual 

debate on spirituality and the 

position of the individual within this 

order. Through Petrarch and his liter- 

insights and perspectives: linguistics

of Cypriot cultural heritage and its 

antiquities in archeology and art

Konnari; Pro caccioli; Chayes; Parlato), 

Cypriot engagement in contemporary 

philosophical debates and 

the reception of Greek philosophical 

manuscripts taken from Cyprus 

(Grivaud; Prins), Cypriot contribution 

to contemporary Italian literature, 

the representation of the island

and technological innovations and an 

increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary 

and comparative approaches significantly 

altered our comprehension 

Friendship, patron-client relationships, 

and social networks played a fundamental 

role in Scandinavian society 

from the Viking Age through to the Industrial 

Era. Personal ties were essential 

to Viking chieftains for building their 

power base, and such ties were equally 

crucial for early modern merchants, 

who used their personal bonds to create 

trade networks. Furthermore, social 

networks connected medieval men and 

women to the saints and to God. 

The articles in this book emphasize the 

strong correlation between political 

developments such as the emergence 

of the state and the evolution of friendships 

and social networks. They also 

highlight radical changes in the importance 

and contexts of friendship that 

occurred between the Viking Age and 

the late eighteenth century. During this 

period, friendships became far more 

than community-based social relationships, 

but rather tools for the elite in social 

positioning and wealth acquisition.

Moreover the coastal area is no longer 

isolated from its spatial context, but 

considered in its entire relationship 

with the sea on the one hand and with 

the inland areas on the other hand. 

These connections between human 

and physical evolutions and between 

the coastal region, the inland areas and 

the sea were at the heart of the international 

and interdisciplinary conference 

on the coastal development in 

the North Sea Area. Compared to the 

earlier conferences, the regional scope 

is significantly enlarged: although 

a lot of attention is still paid to the 

coastlands of the Low Countries, a systematic 

comparison with other North 

Sea Areas like Northern Germany and 

Southern England will be made.

in Iceland, Norway, Denmark, 

and Sweden, each of which are characterized 

by different societal features, 

ranging from the free-state republic of 

early medieval Iceland to the early modern 

kingdom of Denmark.

rurAl hiStory in europe 

This book discusses the relationship 

between ecology and rural society in 

fragile environments of the past. Rural 

land use in these areas entailed an 

inherent vulnerability, for instance 

because of their poor soils, aridity or 

their location in mountain areas, near 

the sea or in severe climatic conditions. 

The various chapters analyse how societies 

coped with this vulnerability by 

way of the organization of property 

rights to land. These rights formed the 

Agriculture and nourishment are, 

from early times and up to now, crucial 

elements in the development of 

market systems. Shortage and surplus 

gave shape to different forms of exchange 

and sale, to the dynamics of 

supply and demand, and to expanding 

interconnections between regions and 

social groups. Farmers learned to adapt 

their production to market conditions 

and to the shifting needs and tastes of 

a growing and demanding public. But 

the path from a self-supporting way 

of life to the present forms of market 

integration in the complex, global 

world was far from uniform and linear. 

Food production, market structures 

and market mechanisms changed over 

time and differed between regions and 

countries of the North Sea area. This 

volume aims at exploring and unravel- 

framework which shaped the use of 

the land and were a main constituent 

of the relationship between mankind 

and ecology in these fragile areas. To 

a large extent, therefore, they determined 

– and still determine - the 

success or failure of rural societies 

to cope with the challenges posed by 

their environment. In their turn, however, 

these property rights were shaped

within a wider social and political context, 

in which political and ideological 

considerations, and special interests, 

also played their part. As a result, the 

organization of these rights was not always 

geared towards sustainability, as 

demonstrated in these chapters, which 

discuss and analyse long-term developments 

in several parts of Northwestern, 

Central and Southern Europe.

Antiquité et ScienceS 

huMAineS 

Les diverses contributions réunies dans 

ce livre sont nées d’une collaboration 

et d’une proximité intellectuelle entre 

deux institutions de recherche : l’équipe 

PLH–ERASME qui travaille, Toulouse, 

dans les domaines de la réception 

de l’Antiquité et de l’anthropologie historique, 

depuis sa création en 1998, et 

le centre ANHIMA (Anthropologie et 

Histoire des mondes antiques), qui réunit, 

à Paris, des chercheurs engagés dans 

tous les domaines et toutes les périodes 

de l’Antiquité. Ce rapprochement s’est 

traduit par l’organisation de deux journées 

d’étude internationales, qui se sont 

tenues à Toulouse, en mars 2010, et par 

la création d’une nouvelle collection : 

« Antiquité et sciences humaines. La 

traversée des frontières », accueillie par 

les éditions Brepols. Ces initiatives témoignent 

de la vitalité et du renouvellement 

dont ont bénéficié et continuent 

de bénéficier les perspectives anthropologiques. 

Une vitalité qui se manifeste par la 

multiplicité des points de vue et des 

domaines abordés dont je ne mentionnerai 

que quelques exemples : – l’aptitude 

à redéfinir les concepts les mieux 

connus, comme le fait Vincent Azoulay 

à propos du don, – l’application d’un 

autre concept tout aussi connu, la pra- 

tique des rites de passage, à un domaine 

nouveau, celui de l’archéologie gallo– 

romaine. Ce qui permet à Ton Derks, 

d’insérer dans leur contexte historique 

des conduites sociales jusqu’alors 

mal interprétées, – la prise en compte 

des déplacement de catégories entre 

hommes et femmes, masculin et féminin, 

qu’apportent les études de genre 

mises en perspective par Violaine 

Sébillotte, – l’exploration d’un certain 

nombre de domaines nouveaux, 

parmi lesquels, celui des émotions que 

j’ai moi–même abordé, ou celui de la 

perception des couleurs dont Adeline 

Grand–Clément s’est attachée à éclairer 

la logique. 

L’ensemble des incursions ainsi menées 

dans l’Antiquité (grecque, romaine, 

phénicienne, gallo-romaine), fait émerger 

une richesse qui n’est jamais figée 

et qui fait écho aux propos de Jean- 

Pierre Vernant dans la Préface rédigée 

en 1968, pour l’édition des études 

de Louis Gernet réunies sous le titre 

« Anthropologie de la Grèce antique ». 

Pour définir les approches qui avaient 

été celles de ce savant, Vernant écrivait : 

F orthcoming T itles Autumn 2012 / Late Antiquity & Patristics 

« On ne saurait comprendre leur dynamisme 

que si on s’interroge, non certes 

sur l’Homme, mais sur les mentalités 

particulières des hommes, des groupes 

humains qui les ont mis en œuvre, si on 

cherche à pénétrer ce que furent leurs 

modes de penser, leurs cadres et outils 

intellectuels, leurs formes de sensibilité 

et d’action, leurs catégories psychologiques 

au sens que Mauss donnait à ce 

terme. » 

Cette prise en compte des différences 

qui nous séparent des hommes de l’Antiquité, 

l’attention sans faille portée aux 

spécificités qui marquent l’ensemble de 

leurs représentations et de leurs comportements 

dans tous les domaines de 

la vie sociale, politique, religieuse, culturelle, 

la conscience aussi des mutations 

qui se sont opérées sur la longue durée 

qui est la nôtre, c’est somme toute ce 

que chacun des auteurs de ce volume, 

dans le domaine de recherche qui lui est 

propre, a tenté de mettre en œuvre.

À partir des années 1950, les recherches 

portant sur l’Antiquité,

ou non, associent de plus en plus 

à leur démarche les méthodes et 

les apports de l’anthropologie. 

L’objet de cette collection est 

de tracer le cheminement d’une 

nouvelle anthropologie de l’Antiquité, 

en devenir, et de formuler 

quelques-unes des questions

Ce livre est une tentative de répondre

du début du IV e siècle à la conquête

de la période, en les replaçant dans le 

contexte plus large des activités économiques, 

des relations sociales et des traditions

a souhaité proposer une réflexion sur 

les logiques propres de la foule à partir 

d’un certain nombre d’épisodes d’intervention 

populaire révélés par des sources 

ecclésiastiques africaines, dont les lettres 

et les sermons de saint Augustin. Ces 

études de cas sont cependant précédées 

d’une analyse plus générale des sources 

textuelles et archéologiques concernant 

les expériences formatrices de la vie plébéienne: 

le monde du travail, les conditions 

d’habitation et les réseaux de sociabilité.

tered the experience of Christians on 

both a spiritual and an institutional 

level. A close look at the interrelations 

between the personal and the institutional 

expressions of religion in this 

period attests to an ongoing revision 

of both the patristic literature and the 

monastic tradition. By approaching 

the period in terms of ‘revision’, the 

contributors discuss the mechanism 

of transformation in Eastern Christianity 

from a new perspective, discerning 

social and religious changes while 

navigating between the dynamics of 

personal and institutional religion. 

Recognizing the creative aspects inherent 

to the process of ‘revision’, this 

volume re-examines several aspects 

of personal and institutional religion, 

revealing dogmatic, ascetic, liturgical, 

and historiographical transformations. 

Attention is paid to the expression of 

the self, the role of history and memory 

in the construction of identity, and 

the modification of the theological 

discourse in late antique culture. The 

book also explores several avenues of 

Jewish-Christian interaction in the institutional 

and public sphere.

The study and the production of a

bishop of Barcelona (fourth century), 

have been the life’s work of Angel Anglada

La présente étude propose une analyse

En effet, les attaques nysséennes contre 

Eunome ont souvent été prises pour 

argent comptant par la critique. Dans 

la mesure où l’explication de l’Écriture 

constitue l’un des enjeux majeurs du 

débat et l’un des lieux essentiels de la 

pensée théologique de Grégoire, une

dans ces traités et à l’analyse des 

sources et des interlocuteurs de Grégoire

They deal with the manuscript trans- 


mission and the history of the printed 

versions of Pacian’s opera, the syntactic 

structure (particularly the clausulae) 

and particular problematic passages in 

the bishop’s writings. The volume concludes 

with an index of the passages 

which have been discussed in detail. 

The articles offer a general view of the 

reception of Pacian’s works down the 

ages and list the author’s arguments 

behind specific editorial decisions. It 

is the perfect companion volume to 

the edition of Pacian’s complete works

This is a companion volume to Texts 

of Greek and Latin Authors on the Far 

East (Brepols 2010) originally compiled 

by George Coedès and recently 

translated by John Sheldon. There are 

nearly one hundred different authors 

whose writings have been quoted in 

the text volume. All these authors 

are introduced and all quotations are 

placed in context and given detailed 

ian studies›. This forgotten Indo-European 

language was just re-emerging 

in texts gathered by the various scientific 

expeditions to Eastern Central 

Asia at the beginning of the 20 th century. 

On the basis of a colophon in the 

Old Turkish text Maitrisimit, F. W. K. 

Müller had already in 1907 suggested 

the name ‘Tocharian’ which, despite 

misgivings, continues to be used today 

for texts in two distinct but closely related 

varieties, ‘A’ and ‘B’. The volume 

is in part devoted to aspects of the 

history of the study of Tocharian and 

to details of the languages themselves 

but also to palaeography and cataloguing 

the Tocharian fragments in Ber- 

literary, linguistic and historical commentary

lin. The colophon to the Old Turkish 

Maitrisimit is the starting point for the 

second theme of the volume: The interaction 

between Tocharian and Old 

Turkish Buddhist texts, a currently 

much discussed phenomenon. The 

contributions here range from a description 

of newly found Old Turkish 

fragments, to a discussion of parallel 

Tocharian and Old Turkish passages, 

aspects of the cult of Maitreya, the 

question of Buddhist doctrinal schools 

in Central Asia, the possible connection 

of Buddhist dramatical texts 

with the Chinese bianwen literature, 

the Old Turkish ‘New Day’ and other 

aspects of this and similar narrative

extensive documentation of Tocharian 

and Old Turkish fragments in the Berlin 

Turfan Collection to illustrate the 

Tocharian fragments for which a C14dating 

is now available and Tocharian 

palaeography as well as fragments containing 

passages of text common to the 

Tochrian A Maitreyasamitinataka and 

the Old Turkish Maitrisimit. 

improved readings are made in the 

Commentary. In a number of places 

traditional interpretations of the ancient 

geography of the Far East have 

been superseded mainly owing to an 

improved understanding of the text. 

This volume, which should be used in 

conjunction with the text volume, will 

be a useful, at times an essential, tool 

for future researchers in this field.

En hébreu rabbinique, le terme niddah 

désigne la femme au moment de 

ses règles, le sang menstruel en soi, ou 

la période d’impureté liée à la menstruation. 

Une réglementation stricte

religieuse juive (halakhah) ; notamment, 

les relations conjugales sont

Les systèmes de pensée indiens ignorèrent 

largement l’icône religieuse 

jusqu’au XII e siècle de notre ère 

environ, malgré l’importance croissante 

qu’elle prit dans la religion dès 

avant l’ère chrétienne, qu’il s’agisse 

du védisme tardif, de l’hindouisme, 

du bouddhisme ou du jaïnisme. 

Pourtant l’icône occasionna des débats

Parmi les nombreux textes qui traitent 

des questions liées à la menstruation, 

la Baraïta de-Niddah est de loin le plus 

étrange. Écrit en hébreu, il est difficile 

à dater et à localiser : peut-être peut-on 

le situer en Palestine, dans la seconde 

moitié du premier millénaire de l’ère 

chrétienne. Précédemment, il n’a été 

publié qu’une fois, en 1890. La présente 

édition, accompagnée d’une traduction 

française, voudrait permettre un accès à 

ce texte fascinant aux hébraïsants ainsi 

qu’aux non-spécialistes. 

Prétendant à un statut de texte législatif 

classique, cette pseudo-Baraïta (texte 

contemporain de la Mishna, mais qui 

n’a pas été reçu dans le recueil officiel) 

a eu un statut ambigu dans la tradition 

rabbinique. Sans aucun souci de chronologie 

par rapport aux personnages 

dont elle cite les propos, elle est en fait 

un recueil de croyances populaires, 

où se mêlent des considérations qui se 

veulent médicales, des observations 

naturelles étonnantes et, surtout, une 

peur extrême de la femme menstruée.

la parole du Veda. Les milieux qui 

se réclament du védisme pourraient 

avoir connu une sorte de crise de 

conscience iconologique du IV e au II e 

siècle avant notre ère environ. L’icône 

matérielle devint progressivement 

l’objet d’un consensus social, en dépit 

des réserves, du scepticisme, voire des 

critiques que l’on émit à son égard 

dans certains cercles. Elle remplit ainsi 

un rôle unificateur analogue à celui 

qu’eurent dans l’Europe médiévale 

des concepts comme celui de Dieu. 

Cet ouvrage, qui ne traite pas d’histoire 

de l’art, examine la pensée fragmentaire 

de l’icône en Inde ancienne 

jusqu’au XII e siècle : parfois conçue 

comme étant un être vivant ou un sujet 

juridique, parfois suscitant des résistances 

théoriques (notamment dans le 

bouddhisme ancien, en contraste avec 

la relique), inscrite dans le réseau des 

signes divinatoires favorables, emplie 

de conscience divine au moyen du 

rite, l’icône est restée jusqu’à présent 

une composante majeure de la société 

indienne.

Berliner turfAntexte 

The ‘Speech of the Living Soul’ (gōwišn 

ī grīw zīndag) is the only Middle Persian 

verse-cycle extensively preserved 

in the Turfan Collection in Berlin. It 

constitutes an important Manichaean 

text dedicated to the central Manichaean 

concept of the Living Soul, 

the light trapped in the material world 

which desires to return to its proper 

place in the paradise of light and which 

the Manichaeans have a duty to save. 

The fact that the language of the text 

ISSN 2031-5929 

is Middle Persian rather than Parthian 

suggests that it may have been made 

during Mani’s lifetime though perhaps 

not by Mani himself. A small part of 

a Sogdian translation is also preserved. 

This edition presents 252 verses of the 

text on the basis of 54 fragments, some 

of which have never been published 

before. The fragments reveal extensive 

passages of a carefully composed and 

elegant text but it has not been possible 

to establish the overall sequence 

of the preserved parts of the text. 

The German-language edition comprises 

an extensive introduction to 

the contents of the text, a description 

of the fragments, a critical edition of 

the individual fragments, a complied 

text presenting the Middle Persian 

and Sogdian fragments with a German 

translation on facing pages, notes, 

a glossary, a bibliography, an English 

translation of the complied text and 

five plates showing selected fragments. 

AnnAli di scienze religiose

with an Annotated Bibliography of Ambrosian Studies 

http://brepols.metapress.com/content/121188/ 

Annali di Scienze Religiose is a periodical 

stemming from the research 

activities of the Department of 

Religious Science at the Università 

Cattolica di Milano (Catholic 

University of the Sacred Heart in 

Milan) which apply a multidisciplinary 

approach to religious 

phenomena and focus particular 

attention on the three monotheistic 

religions and religions of the 

ancient Mediterranean world. It 

features contributions from Italian 

and foreign scholars writing in the 

main European languages and Arabic. 

Each issue is subdivided into a 

monographic section which gives 

its name to the subtitle of the issue, 

a section on conferences with texts 

that employ a scientific approach 

in dealing with a wide range of historical 

and comparative topics, and 

lastly, a section regarding studies 

presenting timely contributions on 

specific themes. Every issue ends 

with the Ambrosian Bibliography, 

an annual survey of publications 

regarding the person and works of 

Ambrose of Milan. 

Bibliografia Ambrosiana 2005 – 2006 

a cura di Paolo Bernardini 

Il nome “Ambrosius” o i nomi di autori moderni (in tondo) seguiti dall’anno e dal 

numero progressivo (es.: “Zelzer 2004 nr. 237”), rimandano ai titoli censiti in questo 

o nei precedenti bollettini della presente Bibliografia Ambrosiana. L’indicazione (in 

maiuscoletto) “Visonà 345” rimanda, invece, alle pp. del volume Cronologia ambrosiana.

– Roma, Città Nuova, 2004 (Tutte le opere di Sant’Ambrogio. Sussidi 25/26). Le Epistulae 

di Ambrogio sono citate di norma secondo la nuova numerazione di Zelzer (CSEL). Nel 

caso che il singolo autore le citi con la numerazione dei Maurini, questa è indicata tra 

quadre (es.: Ep. 62 [Mau. 19])

von Christoph Markschies, Turnhout, Brepols, 2005 (Fontes 

Christiani, 47/1-3), 1-248, 249-584, 585-868 pp. 

La nuova traduzione di Markschies si basa sul testo dell’edizione 

di Faller, dalla quale dipendono pure l’apparato e l’annotazione. 

L’ampia introduzione contiene una presentazione generale della 

vita dell’Autore (pp. 9-27), con particolari accenni alla controversia 

ariana, poi una sintesi delle opere con una proposta di datazione 

(pp. 27-41), quindi una trattazione dei maggiori problemi relativi 

all’opera: redazione (pp. 45-52), reazioni suscitate (pp. 52-54), 

contenuti e teologia (pp. 54-67), fonti (pp. 68-82) e, infine, recezione 

dell’opera nei florilegi tra V e VII secolo (pp. 99-129). Nel complesso 

i tre volumi curati da Markschies hanno il merito di riproporre il 

ruolo di Ambrogio all’interno del panorama teologico patristico, 

anche se non producono un sostanziale avanzamento nella 

rivalutazione della sua originalità di pensiero rispetto agli studi 

precedenti (fra cui lo stesso Markschies 1995 [cfr Visonà 548-549]) 

e non sono esenti da imperfezioni, sia nella traduzione che nella 

parte introduttiva (come segnalato dalle recensioni).

les vues et plans de Barcelone, 

Gênes et Marseille conservés dans

se référer. Sa traduction d’Hippocrate

contribution au progrès médical 

de la Renaissance, parce qu’elle s’accompagne 

d’une réorganisation originale 

de la matière médicale autour de 

la question des fièvres pestilentielles. 

Les écrits personnels de Janus Cornarius, 

qui est par ailleurs probablement 

le modèle historique du personnage 

de Panurge, dévoilent aussi son rôle 

de tout premier plan dans la diffusion 

de la théorie copernicienne. L’ouvrage 

présente les données textuelles conduisant 

à ces deux découvertes significatives 

et offre la première bibliographie

ainsi que la traduction des principaux 

écrits de Janus Cornarius ayant trait à
