The Pleasant Nights 

Volumes 1 and 2 

Giovan Francesco Straparola 

Edited with an Introduction by 

Donald Beecher 

Renowned today for his contribution to the rise of 

the modern European fairy tale, Giovan Francesco 

Straparola (c. 1480–c. 1557) is particularly known 

for his dazzling anthology The Pleasant Nights. 

Originally published in Venice in 1550 and 1553, this 

collection features seventy-three folk stories, fables, 

jests, and pseudo-histories, including nine tales we 

might now designate for ‘mature readers’ and seventeen 

proto-fairy tales. Nearly all of these stories, 

including classics such as ‘Puss in Boots,’ made their 

first ever appearance in this collection; together, the 

tales comprise one of the most varied and engaging 

Renaissance miscellanies ever produced. Its appeal 

sustained it through twenty-six editions in the first 

sixty years. 

This full critical edition of The Pleasant Nights 

presents these stories in English for the first time 

in over a century. The text takes its inspiration from 

the celebrated Waters translation, which is entirely 

revised here to render it both more faithful to the 

original and more sparkishly idiomatic than ever 

before. The stories are accompanied by a rich sampling 

of illustrations, including originals from nineteenthcentury 

English and French versions of the text. 

As a comprehensive critical and historical edition, 

these volumes contain far more information on the 

stories than can be found in any existing studies, 

literary histories, or Italian editions of the work. 

Donald Beecher provides a lengthy introduction discussing 

Straparola as an author, the nature of fairy 

tales and their passage through oral culture, and 

how this phenomenon provides a new reservoir of 

stories for literary adaptation. Moreover, the stories 

all feature extensive commentaries analysing not 

only their themes but also their fascinating provenances, 

drawing on thousands of analogue tales 

going back to ancient Sanskrit, Persian, and Arabic 

stories. 

Immensely entertaining and readable, The Pleasant 

Nights will appeal to anyone interested in fairy tales, 

ancient stories, and folk creations. Such readers will 

also enjoy Beecher’s academically solid and erudite 

commentaries, which unfold

VOLUME 2 

On the Causes of the Greatness 

and Magnificence of Cities 

NEW 

Giovanni Botero 

Translated and with an introduction by 

Geoffrey W. Symcox 

The first treatise ever written on the sociology of cities, 

On the Causes of the Greatness and Magnificence 

of Cities (1588) marked a radical departure from 

previous literature on urban centres. It provided a 

revolutionary analysis of how cities function, and of 

the political, economic, demographic, and geographic 

factors that cause their growth and decline. Noteworthy 

too is Botero’s strikingly original use of 

sources in his analysis: moving beyond familiar 

classical and biblical references, he drew groundbreaking 

insights from reports by travelers and 

missionaries about cities in the non-European 

world, especially in China. 

Though seminally important to the history of urban 

studies, On the Causes of the Greatness and 

Magnificence of Cities has not been available in a 

modern translation until now. This edition of the 

treatise – which includes an introduction by Geoffrey 

W. Symcox on the intellectual context within which 

it was conceived – is a must-read for anyone 

interested in the life of cities both historical and 

contemporary. 

Geoffrey W. Symcox is a professor emeritus in the 

Department of History at the University of California 

at Los Angeles.

Jews and Magic in Medici Florence 

The Secret World of Benedetto Blanis 

Edward Goldberg 

In the seventeenth century, Florence was the wealthy 

capital of the Medici Grand Dukedom of Tuscany. But 

amid all the affluence and splendour, the Jews in its 

tiny Ghetto struggled to earn a living by any possible 

means, including loan-sharking, rag-picking, and 

second-hand dealing. 

From their ranks arose Benedetto Blanis, a businessman 

and aspiring scholar from a distinguished 

Ghetto dynasty who sought to parlay his alleged 

mastery of astrology, alchemy, and Kabbalah into a 

grand position at the Medici Court. He won the 

patronage of Don Giovanni dei Medici, a scion of 

the ruling family, and for six tumultuous years their 

lives were inextricably linked. 

Drawing on thousands of newly uncovered 

documents from the Medici Granducal Archive, 

Edward Goldberg reveals the dramas of daily life 

behind the scenes in the Pitti Palace and in the 

narrow byways of the Florentine Ghetto. 

Edward Goldberg is an art historian and a longtime 

resident of Florence. He has worked for more 

than thirty years in the Medici Granducal Archive. 

‘Suspenseful and compelling.’

A Jew at the Medici Court 

The Letters of Benedetto Blanis Hebreo (1615–1621) 

Edward Goldberg 

Benedetto Blanis sent nearly 200 letters to Don 

Giovanni dei Medici that depict in vivid detail his 

daily life in the local Ghetto and his machinations 

behind the scenes at the Medici Court. Edward 

Goldberg shares these recently discovered letters – 

the largest body of surviving correspondence from 

any Jew in Early Modern Europe – in this definitive 

critical edition, complete with transcriptions in the 

original Italian, English-language summaries, and 

full explanatory notes. 

The letters describe Blanis’s fraught relations 

with his Jewish and Christian associates, his desperate 

(and often illegal) business schemes, his disastrous 

strategies for advancement at the Medici Court, 

and the general pervasiveness of occult practices, 

especially alchemy, astrology, and Kabbalah. He 

also offers remarkable insights into the everyday 

realities of Florentine life – as viewed through the 

eyes of a Jewish outsider who penetrated the inner 

circles of the Medici regime. 

‘Readers will be deeply grateful to Edward Goldberg 

for the enormously valuable information he provides 

in this volume.’

The Opera of Bartolomeo Scappi (1570) 

L’arte et prudenza d’un maestro cuoco / The Art and Craft of a Master Cook 

Translated with Commentary by Terence Scully 

Arguably the most famous chef of the Italian 

Renaissance, Bartolomeo Scappi oversaw the preparation 

of meals for several Cardinals and was the 

personal cook for two popes. At the culmination of 

his prolific career he compiled the largest cookery 

treatise of the period. Scappi’s Opera presents more 

than one thousand recipes along with menus that 

comprise up to a hundred dishes. 

In this first English translation of the work, Terence 

Scully makes the recipes and the broad experience 

of this sophisticated papal cook accessible to a 

modern English audience interested in the culinary 

expertise and gastronomic refinement within the 

most civilized niche of Renaissance society. 

Terence Scully is a professor emeritus in the 

Department of Languages and Literatures at Wilfrid 

Laurier University. 

‘Highly readable … many fans of cooking will enjoy 

sifting through its voluminous entries.’

Armour and Masculinity in the Italian Renaissance 

Carolyn Springer 

During the Italian Wars of 1494–1559, with innovations 

in military technology and tactics, armour began to 

disappear from the battlefield. Yet as field armour 

was retired, recycled, and discarded, parade and 

ceremonial armour took on greater importance and 

grew increasingly flamboyant. 

Drawing on theoretical perspectives from anthropology, 

literary studies, art history, and gender 

studies, Armour and Masculinity in the Italian 

Renaissance explores the significance of armour in 

early modern Italy as a cultural artifact and symbolic 

form. 

Carolyn Springer demonstrates that Renaissance 

armour is not just a background to literary texts but 

a vibrant representational practice in its own right. 

Carolyn Springer is a professor in the Department 

of French and Italian at Stanford University. 

‘Springer deserves much credit for crafting an insightful, 

learned, and richly detailed analysis of an 

elusive aspect of the material culture of Renaissance 

Italy.’

Medieval Military Technology 

Second Edition 

NEW 

Kelly DeVries and Robert Douglas Smith 

First published in 1992, Medieval Military Technology 

has become the definitive book in its field, garnering 

much praise and a large readership. This thorough 

update of a classic book, regarded as both an excellent 

overview and an important piece of scholarship, 

includes fully revised content. 

The four key organizing sections of the book still 

remain: arms and armor, artillery, fortifications, and 

warships. Throughout, the authors connect these 

technologies to broader themes and developments 

in medieval society as well as to current scholarly 

and curatorial controversies. 

Kelly DeVries is a professor in the Department of 

History at Loyola University Maryland. Robert Douglas 

Smith is an independent museum consultant. 

‘Students of the Middle Ages and military enthusiasts 

alike will find Medieval Military Technology a valuable

The Alphabet of Galen 

Pharmacy from Antiquity to the Middle Ages 

NEW 

A Critical Edition of the Latin Text 

with English Translation and Commentary 

by Nicholas Everett 

The Alphabet of Galen is a critical edition and 

English translation of a text describing, in alphabetical 

order, nearly three hundred natural products – including 

metals, aromatics, animal materials, and 

herbs – and their medicinal uses. A Latin translation 

of earlier Greek writings on pharmacy that have not 

survived, it circulated among collections of 

‘authorities’ on medicine, including Hippocrates, 

Galen of Pergamun, Soranus, and Ps. Apuleius. 

This work presents interesting linguistic features, 

including otherwise unattested Greek and Latin 

technical terms and unique pharmacological 

descriptions. Nicholas Everett provides a window 

onto the medieval translation of ancient science and 

medieval conceptions of pharmacy. With a 

comprehensive scholarly apparatus and a contextual 

introduction, The Alphabet of Galen is a major 

resource for understanding the richness and 

diversity of medical history. 

Nicholas Everett is an associate professor in the 

Department of History at the University of Toronto.

The Taymouth Hours 

Stories and the Construction of the Self in Late Medieval England 

Kathryn A. Smith 

The Taymouth Hours is one of the most fascinating 

illuminated manuscripts of late medieval England, 

but the circumstances of its commission have 

remained elusive for more than a century. In this 

first comprehensive study of the Taymouth Hours, 

Kathryn A. Smith traces the manuscript’s origin to 

Philippa of Hainault, queen of Edward III, and Edward’s 

sister, the thirteen-year-old Eleanor of Woodstock. 

Smith provides a detailed analysis of the 

manuscript’s program, particularly the relationships 

between its marginal imagery and the devotional 

texts these images border, and embeds the Taymouth 

Hours within the historical, political, religious, and 

artistic contexts of early fourteenth-century England 

and northern Europe. Generously illustrated, the 

book also comes with a digitized edition of the 

entire manuscript. This feature allows readers to 

examine high-quality images of each folio while 

following along with Smith’s text.

How the Page Matters 

Bonnie Mak 

From handwritten texts to online books, the page 

has been a standard interface for transmitting 

knowledge for over two millennia. It is also a dynamic 

device, readily transformed to suit the needs of 

contemporary readers. In How the Page Matters, 

Bonnie Mak explores how changing technology has 

affected the reception of visual and written information. 

Mak examines the fifteenth-century Latin text 

Controversia de nobilitate in three forms – as a 

manuscript, a printed work, and a digital edition. 

Mak’s elegant analysis proves both the timeliness of 

studying interface design and the persistence of the 

page as a mechanism for communication. 

Bonnie Mak is an assistant professor in the Graduate 

School of Library and Information Science and the 

Program for Medieval Studies at the University of 

Illinois. 

‘How the Page Matters represents a new and 

refreshing approach to the various interactions 

between medieval manuscript versions of a particular 

text and its early modern and contemporary editions.’

The Middle Ages in Texts and Texture 

Reflections on Medieval Sources 

Edited by Jason Glenn 

The Middle Ages in Texts and Texture is a collection 

of unique essays that teaches students of medieval 

history how to work with primary sources. The goal 

of the collection is to provide students with a sense 

of the ‘texture’ of the Middle Ages by having them 

engage and struggle with some of the most notable 

texts produced during this period. 

The texts discussed in the essays, most of which 

are well known classics, are arranged in chronological 

order and span the period from the fourth 

century to the turn of the fifteenth century. They 

come from a wide range of genres, and each essay 

begins with basic information about the texts, their 

authors, and the larger settings in which they were 

written. 

Jason Glenn is an associate professor in the 

Department of History at the University of Southern 

California. 

‘In this volume, experienced scholar-teachers 

address the greatest primary-source hits of the 

medieval studies syllabus. Anyone who teaches 

such a course will find here fresh readings of 

familiar texts, as well as reasons to start working 

with some unfamiliar ones.’

Sacred Violence 

The European Crusades to the Middle East, 1095–1396 

Jill N. Claster 

In Sacred Violence, renowned medieval historian 

Jill N. Claster examines warfare between Christians 

and Muslims for control of the embattled city of 

Jerusalem. Beyond the battlefield, however, Claster 

explains the relationship of Jews, Christians, and 

Muslims to the Holy City and how that relationship 

still resonates today. 

The book encompasses the history of the kingdom 

founded by the crusaders that lasted, against all odds, 

for over two hundred years, and details the richness 

that emerged from the interplay of its many cultural 

groups. It also tells the story of how and why the 

crusades came about, their impact of the Middle East 

and Europe, and their legacy to subsequent 

generations. 

Jill N. Claster is professor emerita of Medieval 

History at New York University. She is a past 

Director of the Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near 

Eastern Studies and the former Dean of the College 

of Arts and Science at New York University. 

‘[Jill N. Claster] deftly integrates the social and 

political history of the crusades, its battles and 

institutions, with the history of religion. Sacred 

Violence represents a new and important resource 

for students of the crusades.’

Pilgrimage in the Middle Ages 

A Reader 

Edited by Brett Edward Whalen 

Pilgrimage in the Middle Ages is a rich collection of 

primary sources for the history of Christian pilgrimage 

in Europe and the Mediterranean world from 

the fourth through the sixteenth centuries. The 

collection illustrates the far-reaching significance 

and consequences of pilgrimage for the culture, 

society, economics, politics, and spirituality of the 

Middle Ages. 

Brett Edward Whalen focuses on sites within Europe 

and beyond its borders, including the holy 

places of Jerusalem, and provides documents that 

shed light upon Eastern Christian, Jewish, and Islamic 

pilgrimages. The result is an innovative sourcebook 

that offers a window into broader trends, 

shifts, and transformations in the Middle Ages. 

Brett Edward Whalen is an associate professor 

in the Department of History at the University of

Medieval Medicine 

A Reader 

Edited by Faith Wallis 

Medicine in the medieval world is often treated in 

a static manner, as if a single picture of the body, a 

unitary understanding of disease, and unvarying 

practices of healing held sway for a millennium. 

Medieval Medicine challenges this view by documenting 

changes and complexities in medieval 

medical thinking and practice. In this collection of 

over 100 primary sources, many translated for the 

first time, Faith Wallis reveals the dynamic world of 

medicine in the Middle Ages that has been largely 

unavailable to students and scholars. 

Faith Wallis is an associate professor in the Department 

of History and the Department of Social 

Studies of Medicine at McGill University. 

‘An excellent and comprehensive overview both for 

students and scholars that shows vividly what medicine 

was for medieval actors and what it is today for 

historians of medieval medicine.’ 

Social History of Medicine 

‘A truly rewarding work, worth acquiring not only 

by scholars and teachers of medieval medicine in 

particular but more broadly by anyone teaching in 

the field of medieval European history and society.’

Readings in Medieval History 

Fourth Edition 

Edited by Patrick J. Geary 

In this new edition of his enormously popular 

collection of medieval documents, Patrick J. Geary 

has incorporated more bibliographical information 

into the introductions to the readings. Five texts 

have been added to better reflect legal, religious, 

Polish, and women’s history. A glossary is provided 

to help with unfamiliar terms, and secondary 

readings about the primary sources are listed. 

As before, four principles guide the selection of 

primary sources: entire documents are provided rather 

than snippets; texts are grouped so that individual 

documents relate to one another; documents chosen 

have been the subject of significant scholarship; and 

raw material for many types of historical investigations 

(political, social, cultural) is provided. 

Patrick J. Geary is a professor in the Department of 

History at the University of California, Los Angeles. 

‘Readings in Medieval History is probably the best 

collection of primary source readings available.’

Rethinking the Middle Ages 

COURSE BOOKS 

Series Editors: Paul Edward Dutton and John Shinners 

Rethinking the Middle Ages is a series committed to re-examining the Middle Ages – its themes, institutions, people, and 

events – with short studies that invite readers to think about that era in new and unusual ways. 

I. Seeing Medieval Art 

Herbert L. Kessler 

How did medieval people see art How 

was it made, paid for, and used Why 

was it necessary to social activities 

With 12 color plates and 54 plates in all, 

this book looks at art’s functions and 

traces many crucial developments, 

including the development of secular art 

and historical narrative and the emergence 

of individual portraiture. 

‘Herbert Kessler’s newest work shows 

us better than any other book I know why medieval art matters – and 

how our own seeing of it has grown evermore interesting. I urge 

experts and general enthusiasts alike to read this book now.’ 

Peter Low, Williams College

II. The Story of a Great 

Medieval Book 

Peter Lombard’s Sentences 

Philipp W. Rosemann 

Twelfth-century theologian Peter Lombard’s 

Book of Sentences, one of the first 

Western textbooks of theology, received 

the largest number of commentaries 

among all works of Christian literature 

except for Scripture itself. In this book, 

notable Lombard scholar Philipp W. 

Rosemann examines the text as a guiding 

thread to studying Christian thought throughout the later Middle Ages 

and into early modern times. 

‘The Story of a Great Medieval Book provides an excellent introduction 

not only to the history and textual traditions of commentaries on Peter 

Lombard’s Sentences, but also to how such texts were used by 

university students and teachers of the late Middle Ages.’ 

Donna Trembinski, Queen’s University

III. Rethinking the 

School of Chartres 

Édouard Jeauneau 

Translated by Claude Paul Desmarais 

In this brief essay, esteemed medieval 

historian Édouard Jeauneau examines a 

much debated question in medieval 

intellectual history: did the famous 

School of Chartres actually exist Deftly 

translated by Claude Paul Desmarais, 

Rethinking the School of Chartres 

provides a narrative that is critical, 

passionate, and witty. 

‘No one has done more to reveal the riches of twelfth-century 

Platonism than Father Édouard Jeauneau. It is a great pleasure to read 

this wonderful scholar’s reflections on his long association and deep 

affinity with Chartres and its teachers.’

Old English Metre 

An Introduction 

Jun Terasawa 

Old English Metre offers an essential framework for 

the critical analysis of metrical structures and interpretations 

in Old English literature. Jun Terasawa’s 

comprehensive introductory text covers the basics of 

Old English metre and reviews the current research in 

the field, emphasizing the interaction between Old 

English metre and components such as wordformation, 

word-choice, and grammar. 

Each chapter includes exercises and suggestions 

for further reading. Appendices provide possible 

answers to the exercises, tips for scanning half-lines, 

and brief definitions of metrical terms used. Examples 

in Old English are provided with literal 

modern English translations, with glosses added in 

the first three chapters to help beginners. 

Jun Terasawa is a professor in the Graduate School 

of Arts and Sciences at the University of Tokyo. 

‘A serious advance in state-of-the-art research, Old 

English Metre is ideally suited to help the largest 

possible audience interested in Old English poetry 

develop the skills necessary to critically edit and 

interpret these works.’

EDITED BY IRENA R. MAKARYK 

AND MARISSA McHUGH 

Shakespeare and the Second World War 

Theatre, Culture, Identity 

SHAKESPEARE AND THE 

SECOND WORLD WAR 

THEATRE CULTURE IDENTITY 

Edited by Irena R. Makaryk and Marissa McHugh 

Shakespeare’s works occupy a prismatic and 

complex position in world culture: they straddle 

both the high and the low, the national and the 

foreign, literature and theatre. The Second World 

War presents a fascinating case study of this 

phenomenon: most, if not all, of its combatants 

have laid claim to Shakespeare and have called upon 

his work to convey their society’s self-image. 

In wartime, such claims frequently brought to 

the fore a crisis of cultural identity and of competing 

ownership of this ‘universal’ author. Despite this, 

the role of Shakespeare during the Second World 

War has not yet been examined or documented in 

any depth. Shakespeare and the Second World War 

provides the first sustained international, collaborative 

incursion into this terrain. The essays demonstrate 

how the wide variety of ways in which Shakespeare 

has been recycled, reviewed, and reinterpreted 

from 1939–1945 are both illuminated by and 

continue to illuminate the war today. 

Irena R. Makaryk is a professor in the Department 

of English at the University of Ottawa. Marissa 

McHugh is an doctoral candidate in the Department 

of English at the University of Ottawa.

Shakespeare/Adaptation/Modern Drama 

Essays in Honour of Jill L. Levenson 

Edited by Randall Martin and Katherine Scheil 

Shakespeare/Adaptation/Modern Drama is the first 

book-length international study to examine the 

critical and theatrical connections among these 

fields, including the motivations, methods, and limits 

of adaptation in modern performance media. 

Top scholars including Peter Holland, Alexander 

Leggatt, Brian Parker, and Stanley Wells examine 

such topics as the relationship between Shakespeare 

and modern drama in the context of current literary 

theories, and historical accounts of adaptive and 

appropriative practices. Among the diverse and 

intriguing examples studied are the authorial selfadaptations 

of Tom Stoppard and Tennessee 

Williams, and the generic and political appropriations 

of Shakespeare’s texts in television, musical theatre, 

and memoir.

Alan Ackerman 

How do the acts of seeing and believing remain 

linked Alan Ackerman charts the dynamic history 

of interactions between showing and knowing in 

Seeing Things, a richly interdisciplinary study which 

illuminates changing modes of perception and 

modern representational media. 

Seeing Things demonstrates that the airy 

nothings of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the Ghost 

in Hamlet, and soulless bodies in Beckett’s media 

experiments, alongside Toy Story’s digitally 

animated toys, all serve to illustrate the modern 

problem of visualizing, as Hamlet put it, ‘that within 

which passes show.’ 

Alan Ackerman is an associate professor in the 

Department of English at the University of Toronto. 

‘In these elegant essays, at once theatrical and 

philosophical, Alan Ackerman offers a probing 

meditation on sight and on the lingering mysteries 

of the invisible.’

Middleton and Rowley 

Forms of Collaboration in the Jacobean Playhouse 

NEW 

David Nicol 

Can the inadvertent clashes between collaborators 

produce more powerful effects than their concordances 

For Thomas Middleton and William 

Rowley, the playwriting team best known for their 

tragedy The Changeling, disagreements and friction 

proved quite beneficial for their work. 

This first full-length study of Middleton and 

Rowley uses their plays to propose a new model for 

the study of collaborative authorship in early 

modern English drama. David Nicol highlights the 

diverse forms of collaborative relationships that 

factor into a play’s meaning, including playwrights, 

actors, companies, playhouses, and patrons. This 

kaleidoscopic approach, which views the plays from 

all these perspectives, throws new light on the 

Middleton-Rowley oeuvre and on early modern 

dramatic collaboration as a whole. 

David Nicol is an assistant professor in the 

Department of Theatre at Dalhousie University.

Fathers and Sons in Shakespeare 

The Debt Never Promised 

Fred B. Tromly 

Some of Shakespeare’s most memorable male 

characters, such as Hamlet, Prince Hal, and Edgar, 

are defined by their relationships with their fathers. 

In Fathers and Sons in Shakespeare, Fred B. Tromly 

demonstrates that these relationships are far more 

complicated than most critics have assumed. 

Tromly’s introductory chapters draw on both 

Freudian psychology and Elizabethan family history 

to frame the issue of filial ambivalence in 

Shakespeare. The following analytical chapters 

mine the father-son relationships in plays that span 

Shakespeare’s entire career. The conclusion explores 

Shakespeare’s relationship with his own father and 

its effect on his fictional depictions of life as a son. 

Fred B. Tromly is a professor emeritus in the 

Department of English at Trent University. 

‘This is a fine, important addition to contemporary 

Shakespearean criticism.’

Subject Stages 

Marriage, Theatre and the Law in Early Modern Spain 

María M. Carrión 

In early modern Spain, the strict definition of 

marriage as the union of a man and a woman of 

Catholic faith for the sole purpose of procreation 

became a key strategy in the production of Spain’s 

version of empire. However, theatre audiences in 

Spain saw different representations of marriage: 

women arguing in court against marital violence, 

queens and noblewomen delaying or refusing 

imposed marriages, and queer subjects articulating 

radical critiques of sex and gender policing. 

Subject Stages argues that the discourses and 

practices of marital legislation, litigation, and 

theatrics informed each other during this period in 

ways that still have a critical bearing on contemporary 

events in Spain. 

María M. Carrión is Professor of Spanish, Religion, 

and Women’s Studies at Emory University. 

‘Carrión’s compelling examination of theatrical 

productions, canonical literary works, and other 

cultural texts, is an original and important analysis 

of the interrelation of law, theatre, and the 

institution of marriage.’

ERASMUS 

The Collected Works of Erasmus 

The aim of the Collected Works of Erasmus is to make available an accurate, readable English text of Desiderius Erasmus’ (d. 1536) principal 

writings. Erasmus was one of the leading architects of modern thought, whose influence over the intellectual life of his day was immense. 

The series, 89 volumes in length, was launched in 1968. 

‘Academic publishing does not get any better than this: durably bound, expertly annotated, beautifully translated editions of the works of 

one of the finest scholars in the illustrious history of the Christian Church. English readers will long continue to be in the debt of the University 

of Toronto Press for its courage and foresight in undertaking the publication of the extensive Erasmian corpus.’ 

Michael Bauman, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society 

‘The Collected Works of Erasmus project has long since established a new standard for scholarly translation series to emulate. Not only 

have the English versions represented Erasmus’ writings in crisp and accessible language, but meticulous editorial scholarship has placed 

the author’s thought and work in their proper intellectual contexts.’

The Correspondence of Erasmus 

Letters 2082–2203 

NEW 

Edited by James M. Estes 

Translated by Alexander Dalzell 

This volume contains the surviving correspondence 

of Erasmus for the first seven months of 1529. For 

nearly eight years he had lived happily and 

productively in Basel. In the winter of 1528-9, however, 

the Swiss version of the Lutheran Reformation 

triumphed in the city, destroying the liberalreformist 

atmosphere Erasmus had found so 

congenial. Unwilling to live in a place where Catholic 

doctrine and practice were officially proscribed, 

Erasmus resettled in the quiet, reliably Catholic 

university town of Freiburg im Breisgau, 

Despite the turmoil of moving, Erasmus managed 

to complete the new Froben editions of Seneca and 

St Augustine, both monumental projects that had 

been underway for years. He also found time to 

engage in controversy with his conservative Catholic 

critics, as well as to write a long letter lamenting the 

execution for heresy of his friend Louis de Berquin 

at Paris.

Controversies 

Clarifications Concerning the Censures Published in Paris 

in the Name of the Parisian Faculty of Theology 

NEW 

Edited and translated by Clarence H. Miller 

Introduction by Clarence H. Miller 

and James K. Farge 

Erasmus’ humanistic approach to theology and 

biblical exegesis presented a shocking challenge to 

the theologians at the University of Paris, which had 

been dominated by scholastic theology for centuries. 

Erasmus engaged in a decade-long controversy over 

his theological, exegetical, and ethical positions 

with the Theological Faculty, and especially with 

their director, Noël Béda. 

This volume – which translates this crucial quarrel 

from Latin for the first time – details the formal, 

wide-ranging attack on Erasmus’ theories printed 

by the faculty in 1531, along with his two replies. 

Erasmus published his first rebuttal in the spring of 

1532, and that fall issued a second edition with substantial 

revisions and lengthy additions to his original 

text. With an extensive introduction and detailed 

commentary, this volume highlights the differences 

between the humanist and scholastic views of genuine 

theology more fully and extensively than most of 

Erasmus’ other polemical works. 

Clarence H. Miller is a professor emeritus in the 

Department of English at St. Louis University. James 

K. Farge is a senior fellow and librarian at the 

Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies at the 

University of Toronto.

Letters 1802–1925 

Translated by Charles Fantazzi 

Annotated by James K. Farge 

The 129 letters in this volume of the Collected 

Works centre primarily on Erasmus’ continuing 

struggle with his Catholic critics, especially those in 

Spain and France, and on his growing criticism of 

the Protestant reform movement. The correspondence 

from this period documents Erasmus attempts to 

justify his position and to win favour with powerful 

institutions, rulers, and other men of influence in 

both secular and religious spheres. 

Although the Spanish Inquisition’s investigation 

of his activities did not bring about charges against 

him, the Paris Faculty of Theology in December 

1527 formally condemned 112 propositions drawn 

from Erasmus’ works. The letters in this volume, 

written by and to Erasmus at a critical time in his 

career, represent his political views on a Europe torn 

apart by war and religious separatism, as well as his 

enduring commitment to principles of Christian 

humanism and scholarship. 

Charles Fantazzi is a professor in the Department 

of Foreign Languages and Literatures at East 

Carolina University and a professor emeritus in the 

Department of Classics at the University of Windsor.

ERASMUS 

NEW 


Letters 1926–2081 

Translated by Charles Fantazzi 

Annotated by James M. Estes 

The predominant theme of the letters of 1528 is 

Erasmus’ controversies with a variety of critics and 

opponents. The publication in March of the dialogue 

Ciceronianus, for example, provoked a huge uproar 

in France because it included an ironic jest that was 

considered insulting; more serious were the 

continuing efforts of conservative Catholics in 

France, Italy, and to prove not only that Erasmus was 

a secret Lutheran but also that humanist scholarship 

was the source of the Lutheran heresy. 

In response to these charges, Erasmus wrote 

letters and books in which he vigorously defended 

his orthodoxy and assiduously cultivated the support 

of his many admirers among the princes and prelates 

of Europe. The letters also record Erasmus’ growing 

anxiety over the progress of the Reformation in 

Basel, his diligent attention to his financial affairs, 

and his progress on the great editions of Augustine 

and Seneca that would be published in 1529.

Expositions of the Psalms 

Edited by Dominic Baker -Smith 

This third and final volume of the Expositions of the 

Psalms comprises Erasmus’ commentary on Psalms 

14, 38, and 83. Dating from the final years of Erasmus’ 

life, the commentaries reflect his later thoughts on 

the great crisis facing western Christendom. 

These three expositions, written during the early 

1530s, address a number of contentious issues 

within the Church and attempt to reconcile the 

warring factions of the Reformation. Erasmus’ 

characteristic emphasis on the inner experience of 

faith, rather than rigid outward conformity to religious 

dogma, allowed him to be receptive to the insights 

of reform while refusing to compromise on the 

essentials of Christian doctrine. By stressing the 

subjective experience at the heart of spiritual practice, 

he sought to reduce the tension of institutional 

conflict. The volume includes the first published 

English translation of the exposition of Psalm 38 

and, since 1537, of Psalm 14.

English Literature at the University of Amsterdam.

The Unfolding of Words 

Commentary in the Age of Erasmus 

Edited by Judith Rice Henderson 

Leading sixteenth-century scholars such as Martin 

Luther and Desiderius Erasmus used print technology 

to engage in dialogue and debate with authoritative 

contemporary texts. By what Juan Luis Vives termed 

‘the unfolding of words,’ these humanists gave old 

works new meanings in brief notes and extensive 

commentaries, full paraphrases, or translations. This 

critique challenged the Middle Ages deference to 

authors and authorship and resulted in some of the 

most original thought – and most violent controversy 

– of the Renaissance and Reformation. 

The Unfolding of Words brings together international 

scholarship to explore crucial changes in writers’ 

interactions with religious and classical texts. This 

collection focuses particularly on commentaries by 

Erasmus, contextualizing his Annotations and 

Paraphrases on the New Testament against broader 

currents and works by such contemporaries as 

François Rabelais and Jodocus Badius. The Unfolding 

of Words tracks humanist explorations of the 

possibilities of the page that led to the modern 

dictionary, encyclopedia, and scholarly edition. 

Judith Rice Henderson is a professor in the Department 

of English and is active in the Classical, 

Medieval, and Renaissance Studies Program at the 

University of Saskatchewan.

ERASMUS 

Erasmus in the Footsteps of Paul 

NEW 

Greta Grace Kroeker 

Erasmus’ religious beliefs continued to evolve in 

response to the theological debates of the Reformation. 

In 1524 he gave in to pressure to respond to 

Martin Luther’s position on free will, and by 1527 he 

had begun to develop a theology of grace remarkably 

similar to that of the key Protestant leaders. 

Evidence of Erasmus’ changing theological views 

can be found in his interpretations of Saint Paul’s 

teachings, particularly his Epistle to the Romans. 

Erasmus in the Footsteps of Paul is the first major 

study to investigate Erasmus’ Pauline theology in 

the context of the Reformation world. Greta Grace 

Kroeker shows that although Erasmus never left 

the Catholic Church, his struggles with the Reformation’s 

central issues were instrumental to his 

growth as a theologian. 

Greta Grace Kroeker is an assistant professor in the 

Department of History at the University of Waterloo. 

‘[Kroeker’s] findings challenge our received notions 

of the boundaries and patterns of influence that 

were at work in Erasmus’ day and throw new light 

on Erasmus himself as well as on the history of what 

we know as “the Reformation.”’

Erasmus and Voltaire 

Why They Still Matter 

Ricardo J. Quinones 

Erasmus and Voltaire have maintained a permanent 

hold on our interest by virtue of the singular roles 

each played at turning points in the development of 

Western culture. Yet until now, there has not been a 

full-length study to discuss these two pre-eminent 

figures together in terms of their careers, their works, 

and their historic afterlives. 

In Erasmus and Voltaire, Ricardo J. Quinones 

demonstrates how both writers were forces for 

change in their time and why they rank among the 

masters of modern liberalism. Drawing attention to 

the continuities between the Renaissance and the 

Enlightenment, Quinones characterizes Erasmus 

and Voltaire as voices of moderation and reason 

that remain capable of addressing the philosophical 

crises of today. 

Ricardo J. Quinones is a professor emeritus in the 

Department of English at Claremont McKenna College. 

‘Quinones’s book is a superb piece of work that will 

appeal not only to scholars but also to the learned 

general reader.’

Contemporaries of Erasmus 

A Biographical Register of the Renaissance and Reformation 

Edited by Peter G. Bietenholz and 

Thomas B. Deutscher 

Contemporaries of Erasmus is a general dictionary 

of humanists containing 1900 biographies from the 

period roughly between 1450 and 1550. Differing 

substantially from the national biographical dictionaries 

that restrict themselves to major figures, 

Contemporaries of Erasmus combines the famous 

with the obscure – popes and politicians, artists and 

poets, knights and theologians. Well-known figures 

include Martin Luther, King Henry VIII, Machiavelli, 

Popes Nicholas V and Paul IV, and Emperor Charles V. 

Dipping into the pages of this fully illustrated 

volume will intrigue and delight the casual reader, 

but the combined volume will also be an indispensible 

tool for those who wish to relate Erasmus to other 

people in the history of the Renaissance and the 

Reformation.

Marsilius of Padua at the Intersection of Ancient 

and Medieval Traditions of Political Thought 

Vasileios Syros 

This book focuses on the reception and transmission 

of classical political ideas in the thought of fourteenthcentury 

Italian scholar Marsilius of Padua. Vasileios 

Syros investigates many facets of Marsilius’ work, 

including his use of efficient cause in his discussion 

of political phenomena, and the causes of civil strife 

in the Italian city-states of his day. 

Syros demonstrates that Marsilius was committed 

to the idea of a sharp demarcation between ethics 

and politics, thereby foreshadowing the writings of 

Machiavelli and a number of other early modern 

writers. He also elucidates Marsilius’ use of examples 

from Greek mythology in his work on the emergence 

and political dimension of pagan religions. Finally, 

this study highlights linkages between Marsilius’ 

thought and the ideas of his medieval Muslim and 

Jewish predecessors and contemporaries.

The Christ Child in Medieval Culture 

Alpha es et O! 

Edited by Mary Dzon and Theresa M. Kenney 

The cult of the Christ Child flourished in late medieval 

Europe across lay and religious, as well as geographic 

and cultural boundaries. Depictions of Christ’s boyhood 

are found throughout popular culture, visual 

art, and literature. The Christ Child in Medieval Culture 

is the first interdisciplinary investigation of how 

representations of the Christ Child were conceptualized 

and employed in this period. 

The contributors to this unique volume analyse 

depictions of the Christ Child through a variety of 

frameworks, including the interplay of mortality 

and divinity, the medieval conceit of a suffering 

Christ Child, and the interrelationships between 

Christ and other figures, including saints and ordinary 

children. The Christ Child in Medieval Culture synthesizes 

various approaches to interpreting the cultural 

meaning of medieval religious imagery and illuminates 

the significance of its most central figure.

HISTORY 

The Body Legal in Barbarian Law 

Lisi Oliver 

The sixth to ninth centuries saw a flowering of written 

laws among the early Germanic tribes. These laws 

include tables of fines for personal injury, designed 

to offer a legal, non-violent alternative to blood 

feud. Using these personal injury tariffs, The Body 

Legal in Barbarian Law examines a variety of issues, 

including the interrelationships between victims, 

perpetrators, and their families; the causes and results 

of wounds inflicted in daily life; and the processes of 

individual redress and public litigation. 

Lisi Oliver has produced a remarkable study that 

sheds new light on early Germanic conceptions of 

the body in terms of medical value, physiological 

function, psychological worth, and social significance.

PUNISHMENT AND PENANCE 

TWO PHASES IN THE HISTORY OF THE BISHOP’S TRIBUNAL OF NOVARA 

Thomas B. Deutscher 

Punishment and Penance provides the first comprehensive 

study of an Italian bishop’s tribunal in 

criminal matters, such as violence, forbidden sexual 

activity, and offenses against the faith. Through 

numerous case studies, Thomas B. Deutscher 

investigates the scope and effectiveness of the early 

modern ecclesiastical legal system. 

Deutscher examines the records of the bishop’s 

tribunal of the northern Italian diocese of Novara 

during two distinct periods: the ambitious decades 

following the Council of Trent (1563–1615), and the 

half-century leading up to the French invasions of 

1790s. As the state’s power continued to rise during 

this second time span, the Church was often humbled 

and the tribunal’s activity was much reduced. Enriched 

by stories drawn from the files, which often 

allowed the accused to speak in their own voices, 

Punishment and Penance provides a window into 

the workings of a tribunal in this period.

Rituals of Prosecution 

The Roman Inquisition and the Prosecution of 

Philo-Protestants in Sixteenth-Century Italy 

NEW 

Jane K. Wickersham 

During the Counter-Reformation, inquisition manual 

authors working in Italian lands adapted the Catholic 

Church’s traditional tactics of inquisitorial procedure, 

which had been formulated in the medieval period, 

to the prosecution of philo-Protestants. Through a 

comparison of the texts of four such authors to contemporary 

inquisition processes, Jane K. Wickersham 

situates the Roman inquisition’s prosecution of philo- 

Protestants within the larger framework of the complex 

religious upheavals of the sixteenth century. 

Identifying the critical role played by ritual practice 

in discovering and prosecuting heretical subjects, 

Wickersham uncovers two core reasons for its use: 

first, as a practical means of prosecuting a variety of 

philo-Protestant beliefs, and second, as an approach 

firmly grounded within the Catholic Church’s history 

of prosecuting heresy. Finally, Rituals of Prosecution 

provides an in-depth examination of the inquisitorial 

processes of urban residents from humble socioeconomic 

backgrounds, providing new insight into 

how the prosecution of ordinary people was conducted 

in the early modern era.

The Mystical Science of the Soul 

Medieval Cognition in Bernardino de Laredo’s Recollection Method 

Jessica A. Boon 

The Mystical Science of the Soul explores the unexamined 

influence of medieval discourses of science and 

spiritua lity on recogimiento, the unique Spanish genre 

of recollection mysticism that served as the driving 

force behind the principal developments in Golden 

Age mysticism. Building on recent research in medieval 

optics, physiology, and memory in relation to the devotional 

practices of the late Middle Ages, Jessica A. 

Boon probes the implications of an ‘embodied soul’ 

for the intellectual history of Spanish mysticism. 

Boon proposes a fundamental rereading of the 

key recogimiento text Subida del Monte Sión 

(1535/1538), which melds the traditionally distinct 

spiritual techniques of moral self-examination, Passion 

meditation, and negative theology into one cognitively 

adept path towards mystical union. She is also the 

first English-language scholar to treat the author of 

this influential work – the Renaissance physician 

Bernardino de Laredo, a pivotal figure in the transition 

from medieval to early modern spirituality on the 

Iberian peninsula and a source for Teresa of Avila’s 

mystical language.

Redrawing the Map of Early Modern 

English Catholicism 

Edited by Lowell Gallagher 

The tumultuous climate of early modern England 

had a profound effect on its Catholic population’s 

domestic life, social customs, literary inventions, 

and political arguments. Redrawing the Map of 

Early Modern English Catholicism explores the broad 

spectrum of the early modern English Catholic 

experience, presenting fresh and often startling 

assessments of the most problematic topics in post- 

Reformation English Catholicism. 

The contributors to this volume – all leading and 

rising scholars of early modern studies – conceptualize 

English Catholicism as a hazardous series of contested 

territories divided by shifting boundaries, requiring 

Catholics to navigate with vigilance and diplomacy 

their status as ‘insiders’ or ‘outsiders.’ This collection 

also presents new ways to understand the connections 

between reformist and Catholic inflections in the 

emerging canon of English poetry, despite the 

eventual marginalization of Catholic poets in English 

literary history.

Land and Book 

Literature and Land Tenure in Anglo-Saxon England 

TORONTO ANGLO-SAXON SERIES 

Scott T. Smith 

In this original and innovative study, Scott T. Smith 

traces the intersections between land tenure and 

literature in Anglo-Saxon England. Smith aptly 

demonstrates that as land became property through 

the operations of writing, it came to assume a complex 

range of conceptual values that Anglo-Saxons could 

use to engage a number of vital cultural concerns 

beyond just the legal and practical – such as political 

dominion, salvation, sanctity, status, and social and 

spiritual obligations. 

Land and Book places a variety of texts – including 

charters, dispute records, heroic poetry, homilies, 

and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle – in a dynamic 

conversation with the procedures and documents 

of land tenure, showing how its social practice led 

to innovation across written genres in both Latin 

and Old English. Through this, Smith provides an 

interdisciplinary synthesis of literary, legal, and 

historical interests.

composition, including the ‘poetics of mentality’ 

that it exhibits. Mize synthesizes two previously disconnected 

bodies of theory – the oral-traditional 

theory of poetic composition, and current linguistic 

work on conventional language – to advance our 

understanding of how traditional phraseology 

makes meaning, as well as illuminate the political 

and social dimensions of surviving texts, through 

attention to Old English poets’ impulse to explore 

subjective perspectives.

Stealing Obedience 

Narratives of Agency and Identity in Later Anglo-Saxon England 

Katherine O’Brien O’Keeffe 

Narratives of monastic life in Anglo-Saxon England 

depict individuals as responsible agents in the 

assumption and performance of religious identities. 

To modern eyes, however, many of the ‘choices’ 

they make would actually appear to be compulsory. 

Stealing Obedience explores how a Christian notion 

of agent action – where freedom incurs responsibility 

– was a component of identity in the last hundred 

years of Anglo-Saxon England, and investigates 

where agency (in the modern sense) might be 

sought in these narratives. 

Katherine O’Brien O’Keeffe looks at Benedictine 

monasticism through the writings of Ælfric, Anselm, 

Osbern of Canterbury, and Goscelin of Saint-Bertin, 

as well as liturgy, canon and civil law, chronicle, 

dialogue, and hagiography, to analyse the practice 

of obedience in the monastic context. Stealing 

Obedience brings a highly original approach to the 

study of Anglo-Saxon narratives of obedience in the 

adoption of religious identity. 

Katherine O’Brien O’Keeffe is a professor in the 

Department of English and the director of the

LITERATURE 

Old English Literature and the Old Testament 

NEW 

Edited by Michael Fox and Manish Sharma 

It would be difficult to overestimate the importance 

of the Bible in the medieval world. For the Anglo- 

Saxons, literary culture emerged from sustained 

and intensive biblical study. Though the Old 

Testament was only partially translated into Old 

English, recent studies have shown how completely 

interconnected the Anglo-Latin and Old English 

literary traditions are. 

Old English Literature and the Old Testament 

considers the importance of the Old Testament 

from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, from 

comparative to intertextual and historical. Though 

the essays focus on individual works, authors, or 

trends, including the Interrogationes Sigewulfi, 

Genesis A, and Daniel, each ultimately speaks to the 

vernacular corpus as a whole, suggesting approaches 

and methodologies for further study.

Anglo-Saxon Psychologies in the Vernacular 

and Latin Traditions 

Leslie Lockett 

Old English verse and prose depict the human mind 

as a corporeal entity located in the chest cavity, 

susceptible to spatial and thermal changes corresponding 

to psychological states. While readers 

usually assume the metaphorical nature of such 

literary images, Leslie Lockett argues in this book that 

these depictions usually served as literal representations 

of Anglo-Saxon folk psychology. Lockett 

demonstrates that the Platonist-Christian theory of 

the incorporeal mind was known to very few Anglo- 

Saxons throughout most of the period, while the 

concept of the mind-in-the-heart remained widespread. 

Leslie Lockett is an assistant professor in the 

Department of English at The Ohio State University. 

‘Sure to become a standard work in the field, Anglo- 

Saxon Psychologies in the Vernacular and Latin 

Traditions is one of the most original and learned 

discussions of Anglo-Saxon literature of the past 

generation.’

On the Aesthetics of Beowulf

Edited by John M. Hill 

While there is an apparent consensus by scholars on 

a core of poems considered to be exceptional 

literary achievements – Beowulf, Judith, the Vercelli 

book – there has been little systematic investigation 

of the basis for these appraisals. With new essays 

on rhetoric, wordplay, metre, structure, irony, form, 

psychology, ethos, and reader response, this volume 

significantly advances our understanding not only 

of aesthetics and Old English poetry, but also of Old 

English attitudes towards literature as an art form.

The Narrative Pulse of Beowulf 

Arrivals and Departures 

John M. Hill 

One of the most consistent critiques levelled against 

Beowulf is that it lacks a steady narrative advance 

and that its numerous digressions tend to complicate 

if not halt the poem’s movement. The Narrative 

Pulse of Beowulf counters this assertion, examining 

Beowulf as a social drama with a strong, forwardmoving 

narrative momentum. 

John M. Hill discerns a distinctive ‘narrative pulse’ 

arising out of the poem’s many scenes of arrival and 

departure. He argues that such scenes, far from being 

fixed or ‘type’ scenes, are socially dramatic and act 

as a key to understanding the structural density of 

the poem, and bolsters his analysis with a strong 

understanding of the epic. 

John M. Hill is a professor in the English Department 

at the U.S. Naval Academy.

The Ends of the Body 

Identity and Community in Medieval Culture 

LITERATURE 

NEW 

Edited by Suzanne Conklin Akbari and Jill Ross 

Drawing on Arabic, English, French, Irish, Latin and 

Spanish sources, the essays share a focus on the 

body’s productive capacity – whether expressed 

through the flesh’s materiality, or through its role in 

performing meaning. 

The collection is divided into four clusters. 

‘Foundations’ traces the use of physical remnants of 

the body in the form of relics or memorial monuments 

that replicate the form of the body as foundational 

in communal structures; ‘Performing the Body’ focuses 

on the ways in which the individual body functions 

as the medium through which the social body is 

maintained; ‘Bodily Rhetoric’ explores the poetic 

linkage of body and meaning; and ‘Material Bodies’ 

engages with the processes of corporeal being, 

ranging from the energetic flow of humoural liquids 

to the decay of the flesh. 

Together, the essays provide new perspectives 

on the centrality of the medieval body and underscore 

the vitality of this rich field of study.

Medieval Authorship in Theory and Practice 

NEW 

Edited by Stephen Partridge and Erik Kwakkel 

Bringing into conversation several kinds of scholarship 

on medieval authorship, the essays in Author, 

Reader, Book examine interrelated questions raised 

by the relationship between an author and a reader, 

the relationships between authors and their antecedents, 

and the ways in which authorship interacts with the 

physical presentation of texts in books. 

The broad chronological range within this volume 

reveals the persistence of literary concerns that remain 

consistent through different periods, languages, 

and cultural contexts. Theoretical reflections, case 

studies from a wide variety of languages, examinations 

of devotional literature, and analyses of works that 

are more secular in focus come together in this volume

Sacred and Profane in Chaucer 

and Late Medieval Literature 

Essays in Honour of John V. Fleming 

Edited by Robert Epstein and William Robins 

Literary depictions of the sacred and the secular 

from the Middle Ages are representative of the 

era’s widely held cultural understandings related to 

religion and the nature of lived experience. Using 

late Medieval English literature, including some of 

Chaucer’s writings, these essays do not try to define 

a secular realm distinct and separate from the divine 

or religious, but instead analyse intersections of the 

sacred and the profane, suggesting that these two 

categories are mutually constitutive rather than 

antithetical. Taken together, the work suggests 

that the domain of the sacred, as perceived in the 

Middle Ages, can variously be seen as having a 

hierarchical or a complementary relationship to the 

things of this world.

The Legacy of Apollo 

Antiquity, Authority, and Chaucerian Poetics 

Jamie C. Fumo 

Apollo, the classical god of poetry, truth, light, and 

the healing arts, held a special fascination for poets 

and scholars in the late-medieval period. In The 

Legacy of Apollo, Jamie C. Fumo presents a series of 

connected readings of classical and medieval texts 

that shape the god’s pre-modern legacy. 

Fumo innovatively brings the fruits of current 

scholarly practices of intertextuality to a body of 

medieval subject matter. This wide-ranging work 

traces the resonances of Apollo up to the cusp of 

the early modern period and reveals the medieval 

development of a newly self-conscious poetics of 

inspiration in England.

Dire Straits 

The Perils of Writing the English Coastline from Leland to Milton 

Elizabeth Jane Bellamy 

England became a centrally important maritime 

power in the early modern period, and its writers 

– acutely aware of their inhabiting an island – 

often depicted the coastline as a major topic of their 

works. However, early modern English versifiers had 

to reconcile this reality with the classical tradition, in 

which the British Isles were seen as culturally remote 

compared to the centrally important Mediterranean 

of antiquity. This was a struggle for writers not only 

because they used the classical tradition to legitimate 

their authority, but also because this image dominated 

cognitive maps of the oceanic world. 

As the first study of coastlines and early modern 

English literature, Dire Straits investigates the tensions 

of the classical tradition’s isolation of the British Isles 

from the domain of poetry. By illustrating how early 

modern English writers created their works in the 

context of a longstanding cultural inheritance from 

antiquity, Elizabeth Jane Bellamy offers a new approach 

to the history of early modern cartography and its 

influences on literature.

Looking into Providences 

Designs and Trials in Paradise Lost 

NEW 

Raymond B. Waddington 

What is the role of providence in Paradise Lost In 

Looking into Providences, Raymond B. Waddington 

provides the first examination of this engaging 

subject. He explores the variety of implicit organizational 

structures or ‘designs’ that govern Paradise 

Lost, and looks in-depth at the ‘trials,’ or testing 

situations, which require interpretation, choice, and 

action from its characters. 

Waddington situates the poem within the context 

of providentialism’s centrality to seventeenth-century 

thought and life, arguing that Milton’s own conception 

of providence was deeply influenced by the theology 

of Jacob Arminius. Using Milton’s Arminian conception 

of free will, he then looks at the providential trials 

experienced by angels and humans. Finally, the 

work explores the ways in which providentialism 

infiltrates various kinds of discourse, ranging from 

military to medical, and from political to philosophical.

Milton and Questions of History 

Essays by Canadians Past and Present

Edited by Feisal G. Mohamed and Mary Nyquist 

Milton and Questions of History considers the contribution 

of several classic studies of Milton written by 

Canadians in the twentieth century. It contemplates 

whether these might be termed a coherent ‘school’ 

of Milton studies in Canada and it explores how 

these concerns might intervene in current critical and 

scholarly debates on Milton and, more broadly, on 

historicist criticism in its relationship to renewed 

interest in literary form. 

The volume opens with a selection of seminal 

articles by noted scholars including Northrop Frye, 

Hugh McCallum, Douglas Bush, Ernest Sirluck, and 

A.S.P. Woodhouse. Subsequent essays engage and 

contextualize these works while incorporating fresh 

intellectual concerns. The Introduction and Afterword 

frame the contents so that they constitute a 

dialogue between past and present critical studies 

of Milton by Canadian scholars.

Spenser’s Ruins and the Art of Recollection 

NEW 

Rebeca Helfer 

What is the art of memory Rebeca Helfer’s intertextual 

study Spenser’s Ruins and the Art of Recollection 

offers a fresh perspective on the significance of this 

ancient mnemonic technique to Edmund Spenser’s 

writing and, through this lens, explores the art’s 

complex historical and literary reception. 

Beginning with the origins of mnemonic strategies 

in epic tales, Helfer examines how the art of memory 

speaks to debates about poetry and its place in 

culture from Plato to Spenser’s present day. As Helfer 

argues, ruins provide memorial spaces for an ongoing 

dialogue about how story relates to history, and 

how both relate to edification and empire-building. 

Through detailed, intertextual readings of The 

Shepheardes Calender, The Faerie Queene, the 

Complaints, and other Spenserian works, Helfer 

demonstrates how the art of memory shapes 

Spenser’s theory and practice of poetry as well as 

his political view, throughout his career. More 

broadly, Spenser’s Ruins and the Art of Recollection 

points to new ways of understanding the importance 

of this art within literary studies.

The Emblematics of the Self 

Ekphrasis and Identity in Renaissance Imitations of Greek Romance 

Elizabeth B. Bearden 

The ancient Greek romances of Achilles Tatius and 

Heliodorus were widely imitated by early modern 

writers such as Miguel de Cervantes, Philip Sidney, 

and Mary Wroth. Like their Greek models, Renaissance 

romances used ekphrasis, or verbal descriptions of 

visual representation, as a tool for characterization. 

The Emblematics of the Self shows how the women, 

foreigners, and non-Christians of these tales reveal 

their identities and desires in their responses to the 

‘verbal pictures’ of romance. 

Engaging and rigorous, The Emblematics of the 

Self breaks new ground in understanding hegemonic 

and cosmopolitan European conceptions of the 

‘other,’ as well as new possibilities for early modern 

identities, in an increasingly global Renaissance. 

Elizabeth B. Bearden is an assistant professor in

Colonial Virtue 

The Mobility of Temperance in Renaissance England 

Kasey Evans 

Colonial Virtue is the first study to focus on the role 

played by the virtue of temperance in shaping ethical 

debates about early English colonialism. Kasey Evans 

tracks the migration of ideas surrounding temperance 

from classical and humanist writings through to sixteenth- 

and seventeenth-century applications, 

emphasizing the ways in which they have transcended 

the vocabularies of geography and time. 

Colonial Virtue offers fresh insights into how 

English Renaissance writers used temperance as a 

privileged lens through which to view New World 

morality and politically to justify colonial practices in 

Virginia and the West Indies. Beautifully written and 

deeply engaging, Colonial Virtue also models an 

expansive methodology for literary studies through 

its close readings and rhetorical analyses. 

Kasey Evans is an assistant professor in the Department

Magical Imaginations 

Instrumental Aesthetics in the English Renaissance 

Genevieve Guenther 

In the English Renaissance, poetry was imagined to 

inspire moral behaviour in its readers, but the efficacy 

of poetry was also linked to ‘conjuration,’ the theologically 

dangerous practice of invoking spirits with 

words. Magical Imaginations explores how major 

writers of the period – including Spenser, Marlowe, 

and Shakespeare – negotiated this troubling link 

between poetry and magic in their attempts to 

transform readers and audiences with the power of art. 

Through analyses of texts ranging from sermons 

and theological treatises to medical tracts and legal 

documents, Genevieve Guenther sheds new light on 

magic as a cultural practice in early modern England. 

With this new understanding of early modern magic 

– a fresh context for compelling readings of classic 

literary works – Magical Imaginations reveals the 

central importance of magic to English literary history.

Reading, Desire, and the Eucharist 

in Early Modern Religious Poetry 

NEW 

Ryan Netzley 

The courtly love tradition had a great influence on 

the themes of religious poetry: just as an absent 

beloved could be longed for passionately, so too 

could a distant God be the subject of desire. But 

when authors began to perceive God as immanently 

available, did the nature and interpretation of 

devotional verse change Ryan Netzley argues that 

early modern religious lyrics presented both desire 

and reading as free, loving activities, rather than as 

endless struggles or dramatic quests. 

Challenging fundamental assumptions of literary 

criticism, Reading, Desire, and the Eucharist shows 

how poetry can encourage love for its own sake, 

rather than in the hopes of salvation. 

Ryan Netzley is an assistant professor in the Department 

of English at Southern Illinois University,

Strangers in Blood 

Relocating Race in the Renaissance 

Jean E. Feerick 

Strangers in Blood explores, in a range of early 

modern literature, the association between migration 

to foreign lands and the moral and physical degeneration 

of individuals. Arguing that in early modern 

discourse the concept of race was primarily linked 

with notions of bloodline, lineage, and genealogy 

rather than with skin colour and ethnicity, Jean E. 

Feerick establishes that the characterization of settler 

communities as subject to degenerative decline 

constituted a massive challenge to the fixed system 

of blood that had hitherto underpinned the English 

social hierarchy. In emphasizing the decline of blood 

as found at the centre of colonial narratives, Feerick 

illustrates the unwitting disassembling of one racial 

system and the creation of another. 

Jean E. Feerick is an assistant professor in the Department 

of English at Brown University. 

‘Rich in its attention to language, and to a wellchosen 

range of historical and literary representations, 

Feerick’s remarkably well-written, persuasive, and 

original book emphasizes the perceived instability 

of early modern racial identities, their vulnerability 

especially to the conditions of transplantation, culture, 

time, and space.’

Objects of Culture in the Literature 

of Imperial Spain 

Edited by Mary E. Barnard and Frederick A. de Armas 

Collecting and displaying finely crafted objects was 

a mark of character among the royals and aristocrats 

in Early Modern Spain: it ranked with extravagant 

hospitality as a sign of nobility and with virtue as a 

token of princely power. Objects of Culture in the 

Literature of Imperial Spain explores how the writers 

of the period shared the same impulse to collect, 

arrange, and display objects, though in imagined 

settings, as literary artefacts. 

These essays examine a variety of cultural objects 

described or alluded to in books from the Golden 

Age of Spanish literature, including clothing, paintings, 

tapestries, playing cards, monuments, materials of 

war, and even enchanted bronze heads. The contributors 

emphasize how literature preserved and transformed 

objects to endow them with new meaning 

for aesthetic, social, religious, and political purposes 

– whether to perpetuate certain habits of thought 

and belief, or to challenge accepted social and moral 

norms.

and Comparative Literature at The Pennsylvania 

State University. Frederick A. de Armas is the Andrew 

W. Mellon Distinguished Service Professor in the

Law and History in Cervantes’ Don Quixote 

Susan Byrne 

Law and History in Cervantes’ Don Quixote is a deep 

consideration of the intellectual environment that 

gave rise to Cervantes’ seminal work. Susan Byrne 

demonstrates how Cervantes synthesized the debates 

surrounding the two most authoritative discourses 

of his era – those of law and history – into a new 

aesthetic product, the modern novel. 

Byrne uncovers the empirical underpinnings of 

Don Quixote through a close philological study of 

Cervantes’ sly questioning of and commentary on 

these fields. As she skilfully demonstrates, while 

sixteenth-century historiographers and jurists across 

southern Europe sought the philosophical nexus of 

their fields, Cervantes created one through the 

adventures of a protagonist whose history is all about 

justice. As such, Law and History in Cervantes’ Don 

Quixote illustrates how Cervantes’ art highlighted 

the inconsistencies of juridical-historical texts and 

practice, as well as anticipated the ultimate resolution 

of their paradoxes. 

Susan Byrne is an assistant professor in the Department 

of Spanish and Portuguese at Yale University.

They Need Nothing 

Hispanic-Asian Encounters of the Colonial Period 

NEW 

Robert Richmond Ellis 

The first comprehensive study of Spanish writings 

on East and Southeast Asia from the Spanish colonial 

period, They Need Nothing draws attention to many 

essential but understudied Spanish-language texts 

from this era. Robert Richmond Ellis provides an 

engaging, interdisciplinary examination of how 

these writings depict Asia and Asians as both similar 

to and different from Europe and Europeans, and 

details how East and Southeast Asians reacted to 

the Spanish presence in Asia. 

They Need Nothing highlights texts related to 

Japan, China, Cambodia, and the Philippines, 

beginning with Francis Xavier’s observations of Japan 

in the mid-sixteenth century and ending with José 

Rizal’s responses to the legacy of Spanish colonialism 

in the late nineteenth century. Ellis provides a groundbreaking 

expansion of the geographical and cultural 

contours of Hispanism that bridges the fields of 

European, Latin American, and Asian Studies.

What is the role of literature in the formation of the 

state Anthony J. Cascardi takes up this fundamental 

question in Cervantes, Literature, and the Discourse 

of Politics, a comprehensive analysis of the presence 

of politics in Don Quixote. 

Cascardi convincingly re-engages the ancient roots 

of political theory in modern literature by situating 

Cervantes within a long line of political thinkers. He 

also shows how Cervantes’ view of literature provided 

a compelling alternative to the modern, scientific 

politics of Machiavelli and Hobbes, highlighting the 

potential interplay of literature and politics in an 

ideal state.

Don Quixote among the Saracens 

A Clash of Civilizations and Literary Genres 

Honourable Mention in the 

American Publishers Awards 

for Professional and 

Scholarly Excellence 

(Literature Category) 

NEW 

Frederick A. de Armas 

The fictional Don Quixote was constantly defeated 

in his knightly adventures. In writing Quixote’s story, 

however, Miguel Cervantes succeeded in a different 

kind of quest – the creation of a modern novel that 

‘conquers’ and assimilates countless literary genres. 

Don Quixote among the Saracens considers how 

Cervantes’ work reflects the clash of civilizations and 

anxieties towards cultural pluralism that permeated 

Golden Age Spain. 

Frederick A. de Armas unravels an essential mystery 

of one of world literature’s best known figures: why 

Quixote sets out to revive knight errantry, and why 

he comes to feel at home only among the Moorish 

‘Saracens,’ a people whom Quixote feared at the 

beginning of the novel. 

Frederick A. de Armas is the Andrew W. Mellon 

Distinguished Service Professor in the Humanities, 

Spanish Literature, and Comparative Literature at 

the University of Chicago. 

‘A must-read for anyone interested in Cervantes’ work, 

Don Quixote among the Saracens exemplifies Frederick 

A. de Armas’s immense erudition, superb analytical 

skills, and attention to detail.’

LITERATURE 

Ovid in the Age of Cervantes 

Edited by Frederick A. de Armas 

The Roman poet Ovid, author of the famous Metamorphoses, 

is widely considered one of the canonical 

poets of Latin antiquity. Vastly popular in Europe 

during the Renaissance and Early Modern periods, 

Ovid’s writings influenced the literature, art, and 

culture of Spain’s Golden Age. 

The book begins with examinations of the 

translation and utilization of Ovid’s texts from the 

Middle Ages to the age of Cervantes. The work 

includes a section devoted to the influence of Ovid 

on Cervantes, arguing that Don Quixote is a deeply 

Ovidian text, drawing upon many classical myths 

and themes. The contributors then turn to specific 

myths in Ovid as they were absorbed and transformed 

by different writers, including that of Echo 

and Narcissus in Garcilaso de la Vega and Hermaphroditus 

in Covarrubias and Moya. The final section 

of the book centres on questions of poetic fame 

and self-fashioning. Ovid in the Age of Cervantes is 

an important and comprehensive re-evaluation of 

Ovid’s impact on Renaissance and early modern 

Spain. 

‘This compilation is certainly a huge step forward 

in realizing the importance and richness of what 

still lies ahead in relation to the study of Ovid in 

Spanish literature before, during, and after the age 

of Cervantes.’

Forms of Modernity 

Don Quixote and Modern Theories of the Novel 

Rachel Schmidt 

In Forms of Modernity, Rachel Schmidt examines 

how seminal theorists and philosophers have 

wrestled with the status of Cervantes’ masterpiece as 

an ‘exemplary novel,’ in turn contributing to the 

emergence of key concepts within genre theory. 

Schmidt’s discussion covers the views of wellknown 

thinkers such as Friedrich Schlegel, José 

Ortega y Gasset, and Mikhail Bakhtin, but also the 

pivotal contributions of philosophers such as Hermann 

Cohen and Miguel de Unamuno. These theorists’ 

examinations of Cervantes’ fictional knight-errant 

character point to an ever-shifting boundary between 

the real and the virtual. Drawing from both 

intellectual and literary history, Forms of Modernity 

richly explores the development of the categories 

Dressed to Kill 

Death and Meaning in Zayas’s Desengaños 

and theories that we use today to analyse and 

understand novels. 

Rachel Schmidt is a full professor in the Department 

of French, Italian and Spanish at the University 

of Calgary. 

‘Each chapter offers a lesson in synthesis, application, 

and intertexuality at the theoretical level. The author 

manages to simultaneously foreground Cervantes 

and the individual readers of Don Quixote and their 

(Ortega’s term) “self and circumstances” … Highly 

recommended.’

Elizabeth Rhodes 

The noble wives in María de Zayas’s Desengaños 

suffer terrible fates: one is beheaded, another 

poisoned, one is cemented into a chimney, while yet 

another is locked into a tiny wall closet where she 

dies. The hallmark of Zayas’s aesthetics, these 

characters pose an apparent contradiction between 

the author’s pro-female rhetoric and her gusto for 

killing model women, then beautifying their 

mutilated cadavers. 

Dressed to Kill reconciles Zayas’s Desengaños 

with the age in which it was written, contextualizing 

the book in baroque poetics, the Spanish honour 

code, and fifteenth-century martyr saints’ lives. 

Elizabeth Rhodes is a professor in the Department 

of Hispanic Studies at Boston College.

The Persistence of Presence 

Emblem and Ritual in Baroque Spain 

Bradley J. Nelson 

The Persistence of Presence analyses the relationship 

between emblem books, containing combinations 

of pictures and texts, and Spanish literature in the 

early modern period. 

Bradley J. Nelson argues that the emblem was a 

primary indicator of the social and political functions 

of diverse literary practices in early modern Spain, 

from theatre to epic prose. In this detailed examination 

of emblem books, sacred and secular theatre, and 

Cervantes’ critique of baroque allegory in Los trabajos 

de Persiles y Sigismunda, Nelson connects the early 

history of emblematics with the drive towards cultural 

and political hegemony in Counter-Reformation Spain. 

Bradley J. Nelson is an associate professor and chair 

in the Department of Classics, Modern Languages 

and Linguistics at Concordia University. 

‘Nelson’s approach constitutes an original contribution 

to Spanish emblematics with its careful analysis and 

thorough consideration of relevant theories.’

Celestina and the Ends of Desire 

NEW 

E. Michael Gerli 

One of the most widely read and translated Spanish 

works in sixteenth-century Europe was Fernando de 

Rojas’s Celestina, a 1499 novel in dialogue about a 

couple that faces heartbreak and tragedy after being 

united by the titular brothel madam. In Celestina 

and the Ends of Desire, E. Michael Gerli illustrates 

how this work straddles the medieval and the modern 

in its exploration of changing categories of human 

desire – from the European courtly love tradition to 

the interpretation of want as an insatiable, destructive 

force. Gerli’s analysis draws on a wide range of Celestina 

scholarship but is unique in its use of modern literary 

and psychoanalytic theory to confront the problematic 

links between literature and life. 

E. Michael Gerli is Commonwealth Professor of 

Hispanic and Early Modern Studies at the University 

of Virginia. 

‘Celestina and the Ends of Desire is a fascinating book, 

bringing a completely fresh approach to Fernando de 

Rojas’s canonical work. E. Michael Gerli’s rich and 

enriching theoretical approach provides a brilliant 

new understanding of the language and rhetoric of 

desire.’

The Poetry of Place 

Lyric, Landscape, and Ideology in Renaissance France 

FRENCH 

Louisa Mackenzie 

The sixteenth century in France was marked by 

religious warfare and shifting political and physical 

landscapes. In the face of destructive environmental 

change, lyric poets in Renaissance France often 

wrote about idealized physical spaces, reclaiming 

the altered landscape to counteract the violence 

and loss of the period. In The Poetry of Place, Louisa 

Mackenzie reveals and analyses the cultural history 

of French paysage through her study of lyric poetry 

and its connections with landscape painting, 

cartography, and land-use history. This unique 

alliance of French Renaissance studies with cultural 

geography and eco-criticism demonstrates that sixteenth-century 

poetry created a powerful sense of 

place which continues to inform national and regional 

sentiment today. 

Louisa Mackenzie is an assistant professor in the 

Department of French and Italian at the University 

of Washington. 

‘The Poetry of Place is a stunning – and stunningly 

original – book that makes an enormous contribution 

to a number of related disciplines while opening up an 

entirely new field of inquiry.’

Philippe de Commynes 

Memory, Betrayal, Text 

Irit Kleiman 

Philippe de Commynes, a diplomat who specialized 

in clandestine operations, served King Louis XI during 

his campaign to undermine aristocratic resistance 

and consolidate the sovereignty of the French throne. 

He is credited with inventing the political memoir, but 

his reminiscence has also been described as ‘the 

confessions of a traitor’: Commynes had abandoned 

Louis’ rival, the Burgundian duke Charles the Bold, 

before joining forces with the king. 

This study provides a literary re-evaluation of 

Commynes’ text – a perennial subject of scandal 

and fascination – while questioning what the terms 

‘traitor’ or ‘betrayed’ meant in the context of fifteenthcentury 

France. Drawing on diplomatic letters and 

court transcripts, Irit Kleiman examines the mutual 

connections between writing and betrayal in 

Commynes’ representation of Louis’ reign, the 

relationship between the author and the king, and 

the emergence of the memoir as an autobiographical 

genre. This study significantly deepens our understanding 

of how historical narrative and diplomatic 

activities are intertwined in the work of this iconic, 

iconoclastic figure.

useful notes providing information on authors, works, 

translators, and how the translations were received. 

Among the works by over 1,500 authors represented 

in this volume are hundreds of editions by 

Italy’s most translated authors – Dante Alighieri, 

Machiavelli, and Boccaccio – and other hundreds 

which represent the author’s only English translation. 

A significant number of entries describe works 

originally published in Latin. Together with Healey’s 

Twentieth-Century Italian Literature in English

Kissing the Wild Woman 

Concepts of Art, Beauty, and the Italian Prose Romance in Giulia Bigolina’s 

Urania 

Christopher Nissen 

Kissing the Wild Woman explores the unique aesthetic 

vision and innovative narrative features of Giulia 

Bigolina’s greatest surviving work, the prose romance 

Urania (circa 1552). The study demonstrates how 

Bigolina challenges cultural authority by rejecting 

the prevailing views of the paragone between 

painting and literature. It also shows how Bigolina 

orients her defence of women toward a rejection 

of the cult of visualized female beauty that predominated 

in the rhetoric and artistry of such figures 

as Aretino and Titian. It concludes with a discussion 

of Bigolina’s innovative treatments of certain romance 

topoi. 

Christopher Nissen is an associate professor in the 

Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures

‘Contributing to the ever-widening circle of research 

on early modern Italian women authors, this study

studies, as well as scholars of the theory of love and 

of the senses and historians of gender and women.’

Textual Cultures of Medieval Italy 

NEW 

Edited by William Robins 

Medieval Italy presented a rich array of discrete 

textual cultures, many of them specific to particular 

regions, professions, or groups of writers and 

readers. The essays in this collection consider how 

distinct habits of writing took root among specific 

communities in Italy between the early Middle 

Ages and the eve of the Renaissance. 

As a whole, the collection makes the case for 

combining abstract analyses such as textual theory 

and intellectual history with more technical specialties 

such as editing and codicology. Rather than 

approaching pre-modern Italian textuality as 

something uniform, Textual Cultures of Medieval 

Italy engages with its fascinating plurality.

Beasts and Beauties 

Animals, Gender, and Domestication in the Italian Renaissance 

Juliana Schiesari 

Beasts and Beauties traces the role of animals in Italian 

conceptions of humanity in a number of key texts 

from the fifteenth through the seventeenth century. 

The book delineates the co-development of two different 

forms of domestication since the Renaissance, 

specifically the new culture of domesticated animals 

that emerged in the modern phenomenon of the 

‘pet,’ and the contemporaneous delineation of the 

home as a private domain, where the pater familias 

presided over his domesticated wife, children, servants 

– and animals. Using a methodology that is both 

feminist and psychoanalytic, Beasts and Beauties 

demonstrates how the figure of the animal resituates 

canonical works and authors in the Italian Renaissance 

in ways that help us rethink the notion of what it 

means to be human. 

Juliana Schiesari is a professor of Italian and 

Comparative Literature at the University of California, 

Davis. 

‘Beasts and Beauties offers compelling, energetically 

conveyed readings of otherness in texts and images 

of early modern Europe … it demonstrates effectively 

how an animal-centered approach to the cultural 

production of early modern Europe can help in understanding 

the construction of categories and 

hierarchies of humanness.’

The Biblical Dante 

V. Stanley Benfell 

The Biblical Dante explores Dante’s understanding 

of biblical truth and its significance for the poet and 

his readers. In this work, V. Stanley Benfell presents 

a series of close readings of passages where Dante 

not only cites the Bible extensively, but also explicitly 

considers its status as scripture and as a true text. 

In the first part of the study, Benfell examines 

some of Dante’s minor works and the Paradiso to 

show how his notion of textual truth differs markedly 

from our present-day conceptions. In the second 

part, Benfell turns to the Commedia’s first two canticles, 

where Dante’s vision for a just society is put forth more 

overtly, and his use of the Bible is key to revealing that 

vision. 

V. Stanley Benfell is an associate professor in the 

Department of Humanities, Classics, and Comparative 

Literature at Brigham Young University.

major contribution to the field of Dante studies.

Dante and Augustine 

Linguistics, Poetics, Hermeneutics 

Simone Marchesi 

At several junctures in his career, Dante paused to 

consider the process of writing and what it means 

to be a writer: How does language, in particular 

‘poetic language,’ work Can poetry be translated 

What is the relationship between a text and its commentary 

Who controls the meaning of a literary 

work In Dante and Augustine, Simone Marchesi 

re-examines these questions in light of the influence 

that Augustine’s reflections on similar issues exerted 

on Dante’s sense of his task as a poet. Marchesi 

goes beyond traditional inquiries, allowing Dante to 

emerge as a versatile thinker, committed to a radical 

defence of poetry and yet always ready to reconsider, 

revise, and rewrite his own positions on matters of 

linguistics, poetics, and hermeneutics. 

Simone Marchesi is an associate professor in the Department

Dante’s Tenzone with Forese Donati 

The Reprehension of Vice 

Fabian Alfie 

Dante’s poetic correspondence (or tenzone) with 

Forese Donati, a relative of his wife’s, was rife with 

crude insults: the two men derided one another 

on matters ranging from sexual dysfunction and 

cowardice to poverty and thievery. Rather than disregarding 

this correspondence, in his Commedia 

Dante repeatedly acknowledged and evoked the 

memory of his youthful put-downs. 

Dante’s Tenzone with Forese Donati explores 

the lasting impact of these early sonnets on Dante’s 

writings and Italian literary culture, notably in the work 

of Boccaccio. Fabian Alfie examines derision as an 

ethical dimension of literature that both facilitated 

the reprehension of vice and encouraged ongoing 

debate about the true nature of nobility. 

Fabian Alfie is a professor of Italian in the Department 

of French and Italian at the University of Arizona.

erudite, and enduringly valuable.’

LITERATURE 

The Poetics of Dante’s Paradiso 

Massimo Verdicchio 

Traditional readings of Dante’s Paradiso have largely 

considered this third cantica of the Commedia as 

a poem apart. It deals with those blessed souls in 

Paradise who are free of sin and beyond punishment, 

in contrast to the sinners in the previous two 

cantica, and is thus no longer based on the principle 

of contrapasso. At the literal level this is true in that 

all the characters one encounters are either those 

who have been saved, religious leaders, or saints. 

However, at the allegorical level, as Massimo 

Verdicchio argues, the blessed souls still have something 

to hide, something shameful in their past 

earthly life, which is revealed nonetheless. Verdicchio’s 

highly original and comprehensive reading demonstrates 

that the intricacies of Dante’s text reveal 

subversive undercurrents and a subtle irony, 

employed to deliver a critique of the Church and 

Empire of his own time. 

Massimo Verdicchio is a professor in the Department 

of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies at 

the University of Alberta. 

‘Rooted in a close analysis of the poem, Massimo 

Verdicchio’s intelligent interpretation is supported by 

relevant textual evidence and provides an important 

counterpoint to the canonical readings of the cantica.’

Building a Monument to Dante 

Boccaccio as Dantista 

Jason M. Houston 

The shadow of Dante Alighieri looms large in the 

works of Giovanni Boccaccio, yet the full extent of 

Boccaccio’s relationship to Dante remains largely 

unexplored. Building a Monument to Dante employs 

literary analysis coupled with philological and historical 

evidence to argue that Boccaccio’s multifaceted 

work as Dante’s editor, biographer, apologist, and 

commentator created a literary figure that could 

support Boccaccio’s poetic and political ideologies. 

Jason M. Houston finds in Boccaccio’s biographical 

writings a strong condemnation of Florentine politics 

and a harsh critique of Petrarch’s political isolation, 

distinguishing Boccaccio’s political and intellectual 

positions from those of both Dante and Petrarch. 

Jason M. Houston is an assistant professor in the 

Department of Modern Languages at the University 

of Oklahoma. 

‘Building a Monument to Dante successfully tackles 

the topic of Boccaccio’s life-long interest in Dante 

from a novel point of view, interrogating the many 

facets of Boccaccio’s activity as dantista along new 

lines.’

Roman Slavery and Roman Material Culture 

Roman SlaveRy and Roman mateRial CultuRe 

Edited by Michele George 

Replete now with its own scholarly traditions and 

controversies, Roman slavery as a field of study is no 

longer limited to the economic sphere, but is 

recognized as a fundamental social institution with 

multiple implications for Roman society and culture. 

The essays in this collection explore how material 

culture – namely, art, architecture, and inscriptions 

– can illustrate Roman attitudes towards the 

institution of slavery and towards slaves themselves 

in ways that significantly augment conventional 

textual accounts. 

Providing the first interdisciplinary approach to 

the study of Roman slavery, the volume brings 

together diverse specialists in history, art history, 

and archaeology. The contributors engage with 

questions concerning the slave trade, manumission, 

slave education, containment and movement, and 

the use of slaves in the Roman army. 

Michele George is an associate professor in the 

Department of Classics at McMaster University.

Belonging and Isolation in the Hellenistic World 

Edited by Sheila L. Ager and Riemer A. Faber 

Edited by Sheila L. Ager and Riemer A. Faber 

The Hellenistic period was a time of unprecedented 

cultural exchange. In the wake of Alexander’s conquests, 

Greeks and Macedonians began to encounter new 

peoples, new ideas, and new ways of life; consequently, 

this era is generally considered to have been one of 

unmatched cosmopolitanism. For many individuals, 

however, the broadening of horizons brought with 

it an identity crisis and a sense of being adrift in a 

world that had undergone a radical structural 

change. 

Belonging and Isolation in the Hellenistic World 

presents essays by leading international scholars 

who consider how the cosmopolitanism of the Hellenistic 

age also brought about tensions between individuals 

and communities, and between the small local 

community and the mega-community of oikoumene, 

or ‘the inhabited earth.’ With a range of social, 

artistic, economic, political, and literary perspectives, 

the contributors provide a lively exploration of the 

tensions and opportunities of life in the Hellenistic 

Mediterranean.

Department of Classical Studies at the University of 

Waterloo. Riemer A. Faber is an associate professor

Apuleius and Antonine Rome 

Historical Essays 

NEW 

Keith Bradley 

Apuleius and Antonine Rome features outstanding 

scholarship by Keith Bradley on the Latin author 

Apuleius of Madauros and on the second-century 

Roman world in which Apuleius lived. Bradley discusses 

Apuleius’ work in the context of social relations 

(especially the family and household), religiosity in 

all its diversity and complexity, and cultural 

interactions between the imperial centre and the 

provincial periphery. 

These essays examine the Apology, the speech 

Apuleius made when he defended himself on the 

criminal charge of having enticed a wealthy widow 

to marry him through magical means; the fragments 

of his speeches known as the Florida; and the remarkable 

serio-comic novel Metamorphoses (better 

known as The Golden Ass). Altogether, Apuleius 

and Antonine Rome effectively illustrates how sociocultural 

history can be recovered from works of 

literature.

Professor of Classics and Concurrent Professor of 

History at the University of Notre Dame.

Bringing in the Sheaves 

Economy and Metaphor in the Roman World 

Brent D. Shaw 

The annual harvesting of cereal crops was one of 

the most important economic tasks in the Roman 

Empire. Not only was it urgent and critical for the 

survival of state and society, it mobilized huge numbers 

of men and women every year from across the 

whole face of the Mediterranean. In Bringing in the 

Sheaves, Brent D. Shaw investigates the ways in 

which human labour interacted with the instruments 

of harvesting, what part the workers and their tools 

had in the whole economy, and how the work itself 

was organized. 

Both collective and individual aspects of the story 

are investigated, centred on the life-story of a single 

reaper whose work in the wheat fields of North Africa 

is documented in his funerary epitaph. The narrative 

then proceeds to an analysis of the ways in which 

this cyclical human behaviour formed and influenced 

modes of thinking about matters beyond the harvest. 

The work features an edition of the reaper inscription, 

and a commentary on it. It is also lavishly illustrated 

to demonstrate the important iconic and pictorial 

dimensions of the story. 

Brent D. Shaw is Andrew Fleming West Professor 

of Classics at Princeton University.

Perceptions of the Second Sophistic and Its Times – 

Regards sur la Seconde Sophistique et son époque 

Edited by Thomas Schmidt and Pascale Fleury 

The Second Sophistic (50 to 250 BCE) was an 

intellectual movement throughout the ancient Greek 

and Roman world. Although it can be characterized 

as a literary and cultural phenomenon of which 

rhetoric is an essential component, other themes and 

values such as peideia, mimesis, the glorification of 

the past, the importance of Athens, and Greek 

identity pervade the literature and art of this era. 

These essays explore the Second Sophistic and 

describe how the intellectual elites of this period 

perceived and defined themselves, how they were 

judged by later authors, and how we understand 

them today. 

Thomas Schmidt is professeur ordinaire de philologie 

classique, Institut des Sciences de l’Antiquité et

Byzantine art as being abstract rather than naturalistic, and we expect to find in the written sources some 

reflection of our judgment.’

Three Cartularies 

from Thirteenth-Century Auxerre 

Edited by Constance Brittain Bouchard 

Three Cartularies from Thirteenth-Century Auxerre 


This edition presents the recently rediscovered episcopal cartulary of Auxerre, composed in the 1280s but 

assumed lost since the French Revolution. Along with confirmations by popes, quarrel settlements with 

counts, and agreements with the bishop’s tenants, the cartulary contains documents that were previously 

unknown, notably several papal decisions. Auxerre was unusually well documented for the period 

800–1200, but little information on the bishopric’s history after 1200 has been available until now. The 

text contains a wealth of information about relationships between church leaders and other churches, 

between churches and secular leaders, and details on peasant rights and obligations. 

This edition also includes the short thirteenth-century cartularies of the nuns of St.-Julien and of the 

cathedral chapter, the latter existing only in fragmentary form. With full annotation of people and places 

and English-language summaries, these cartularies make a valuable contribution to our understanding of 

this significant episcopal centre’s history.

Medieval Conduct Literature 

An Anthology of Vernacular Guides to Behaviour for Youths, with English Translations 

Edited by Mark D. Johnston 

Conduct literature is a term used to identify writings that address how one should ‘conduct’ oneself in 

social situations. In the medieval period conduct literature was essential reading for nearly all literate 

children and adolescents to educate them in the expected social behaviours for their culture, gender, and 

status. Using a comparative approach, this anthology pairs together pieces of male-directed and femaledirected 

medieval conduct literature, many being translated into English for the first time, to present an 

illuminating picture of medieval gender norms, parenting, literary style, and pedagogy. Containing texts 

written in six vernacular languages, each section is also accompanied by textual notes, an introduction, 

and an English translation.

The Cartulary of Countess Blanche of Champagne 

Edited by Theodore Evergates 

The Cartulary of Countess Blanche of Champagne examines the countess’ twenty-one-year regency 

(1201–22) through her cartulary – a manuscript copy of legal and otherwise public documents usually 

intended as an archival aid and as a security duplicate. Surviving intact to this day, the 1224 volume is 

unusual in that it was commissioned as a personal, commemorative document for the countess in retirement, 

after a successful career in which she preserved the county from a divisive civil war, expanded the 

county’s borders, and transformed comital-baronial relationships. The 443 letters contained in the cartulary 

deal with practical matters of governance such as homages, fiefs, and the rights of lordship, and are 

here used by Theodore Evergates as a dossier for observing the practices of a major French principality 

and its aristocracy.

Three Treatises from Bec on the Nature of Monastic Life 

Edited with introduction and notes by Giles Constable 

Translated by Bernard S. Smith 

The abbey of Bec was founded in the eleventh century and was one of the best known and most influential 

monasteries in Normandy. The three treatises collected and translated in this volume – Tractatus de 

professionibus monachorum (‘The Profession of Monks’), De professionibus abbatum (‘The Profession of 

Abbots’), and De libertate Beccensis monasterii (‘On the Liberty of the Monastery of Bec’) – are a striking 

statement of the position of Bec in relation to episcopal and ducal (later royal) authorities. 

This volume is an important contribution to understanding not only monasticism in Normandy, but 

also the conflict between church and state in the eleventh and twelfth centuries.

Las Mocedades de Rodrigo 

The Youthful Deeds of Rodrigo, the Cid 

Edited by Matthew Bailey 

Rodrigo Diaz lived in the second half of the eleventh century and is the most famous Castilian in history. His 

exploits are recounted in the traditional epic poem Cantar de Mio Cid which celebrated Diaz at the height 

of his fame and honour. The Mocedades de Rodrigo predates Mio Cid as a fictional story of the passage 

of a precocious twelve-year old Rodrigo from a rebellious and destructive killing force of nature to a leader 

of men in the service of his king, Fernando I of Leon-Castile. Bailey’s edition presents a transcription of the 

original manuscript, an English translation, notes, and commentary.

The Mirroure of the Worlde 

A Middle English Translation of the Miroir du Monde 

Edited by Robert R. Raymo and Elaine E. Whitaker with Ruth E. Sternglantz 

The Mirroure of the Worlde makes available for the first time the unique text in the fifteenth-century British 

manuscript, ms. Bodley 283, which is among the last and largest works in the tradition of lay religious 

instruction mandated by the Fourth Lateran council. This edition is one of the only books of virtues and 

vices that contains Latin text, an inclusion that points towards a more widespread knowledge of the 

language among the laypeople than previously thought. Complete with explanatory notes and a glossary, 

The Mirroure of the Worlde widens the understanding of medieval moral instruction, religion, reading 

practices, and education.

The Cartulary of Montier-en-Der, 666-1129 


The monastery of Montier-en-Der, on the border between Champagne and Lorraine, was one of the most 

important monasteries of the Middle Ages. Its cartulary, put together in the Ilzos at the height of the 

monastery’s prestige and wealth, is a crucial source of information for the history of west Francia before the 

twelfth century and is here published in full for the first time. With information on popes, kings, and 

counts, on manorial structures and the obligations of peasant tenants, and on monastic reform, the 

cartulary will be an essential resource for the study of religious history and of the middle ages in France.

Littere Baronum 

The Earliest Cartulary of the Counts of Champagne 

Edited by Theodore Evergates 

The cartulary of 1211 is the oldest surviving register produced by the chancery of the counts of Champagne. 

This first edition of the cartulary contains 121 letters received from the barons and prelates of the county 

during the rule of Count Thibaut III (1198-1201) and the first decade of the regency of his widow, Countess 

Blanche (1201-22). Since only one-third of the original letters survive, the cartulary copies are particularly 

valuable in capturing the range of written records entering the chancery of a major French principality 

around 1200.

The Treatise of Lorenzo Valla on the Donation of Constantine 

Text and translation into English by Christopher Coleman 

The Donation of Constantine is the most famous forgery in European history. Written in the eighth century, 

it was allegedly a fourth-century document by which the Emperor Constantine the Great gave extensive 

privileges and property to Pope Sylvester I. 

This document was accepted as genuine for seven centuries and was cited by at least ten popes in 

contentions for the recognition of papal control. Lorenzo Valla’s 1440 treatise established the Donation of 

Constantine was forged, and made him a pioneer of modern historical criticism. The reprint is of the 1922 

edition of Valla’s treatise and presents the Latin text and English translation of it and the forged donation 

document on facing pages.

An anthology of the writings from the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries designed to illustrate the life 

and thought of Italians for students and the general reader. It offers a broad sampling of humanist work by 

educators, statesmen, philosophers, churchmen, and courtiers translated into English. 

‘This collection of humanistic prose is invaluable to all those who contemplate the history of western civilization, 

but most especially to students of the Italian Renaissance history, literature, philosophy, and art history who 

will greatly benefit from this engaging scholarly survey of hard-to-find original texts of important works.’

Religion and Economic Action 

The Protestant Ethic, the Rise of Capitalism, and the Abuses of Scholarship 

Kurt Samuelsson 

Translated by E. Geoffrey French • Edited and with an Introduction by D.C. Coleman 

Max Weber first proposed, and R.H. Tawney did much to promote, the idea that capitalism grew out of 

Puritan values. In this bold essay, Kurt Samuelsson convincingly challenges that hypothesis and reassesses 

the spirit and ethics of both capitalism and Puritanism, effectively dismantling any notion of a functional 

relationship between Christianity and capitalism. 

‘This book by an able economic historian ... does not just tinker with Weber’s hypothesis but leaves it in ruins.’

The Ash Wednesday Supper 

Giordano Bruno • Edited and translated by Edward A. Gosselin and Lawrence S. Lerner 

Giordano Bruno, a possibly mad, certainly brilliant, itinerant Italian friar was burned at the stake in 1600 

for heresies, which included his rejection of the Ptolemaic cosmology. Using Copernican theory as both a 

foundation of and a metaphor for his own vast philosophical-theological-political-social program, Bruno 

united his own conflicting beliefs in ‘La Cena de le ceneri’ (The Ash Wednesday Supper). It was one of the 

first works in which Copernican theory had impact outside the sphere of the natural sciences.

Habits of Thought in the English Renaissance 

Religion, Politics, and the Dominant Culture 

Debora Kuller Shuger 

Debora Kuller Shuger examines orthodox, rather than subversive, methods of thought in the English 

Renaissance. Instead of finding a monolithic, unified body of thought, she reveals a remarkably nonuniform 

‘orthodox’ ideology containing a wide range of views. Shuger’s approach also re-examines and relegitimizes 

the investigation of the connections between religion and literature. First published in 1990, 

Habits of Thought in the English Renaissance presaged an expanding and progressively more popular mode 

of inquiry in English Renaissance scholarship.

Vespasiano da Bisticci (b. 1421) was a Florentine bookseller known as the most celebrated dealer of books 

and manuscripts of his generation. His memoirs are a valuable resource in the history of politics, warfare and 

intellectual history, written from the perspective of an intelligent man who was able to watch and comment 

on the events of his age from a privileged position.

On Assistance to the Poor 

Juan Luis Vives

The urban problems of sixteenth-century Bruges are very familiar to the modern reader: poverty, overcrowding, 

crime, the problems of the mentally ill, and the issue of the responsibility of government for the 

care of the poor. Published in 1526, On Assistance to the Poor was Vives’s effort to bring these questions 

to the attention of the City Council of Bruges, and have them addressed by local government.

Dolce’s Aretino and Venetian Art Theory of the Cinquecento 

Mark W. Roskill 

Ludovico Dolce’s Dialogo della pittura first appeared in Venice in 1557. L’Aretino, by which the work is 

known today, consists of a threepart dialogue between two Venetians, Aretino and Fabrini, on the particular 

merits of works of art and artists, including Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello. It is based largely on 

Aretino’s letters. The edition is presented in the original Italian with English facing-page translation.

those sources in Classical and Christian political thought which provoked his writing. Dominic Baker-Smith 

also surveys the varied critical reception accorded to Utopia over the last four centuries, providing an intriguing 

look at Utopia’s role in cultural history.

Venice 

A Documentary History, 1450–1630 

Edited by David Chambers and Brian Pullan, with Jennifer Fletcher 

During the Renaissance, there were two centres of art, culture and mercantile power in Italy: Florence, and Venice. 

This is a sourcebook of primary materials, almost none previously available in English, for the history of the citystate 

of Venice. The time period covers the apogee of Venetian power and reputation to the beginnings of its 

decline in the 1630s. Sources used include diaries, chronicles, Inquisitorial records, literature, legislation, and 

contemporary descriptions, and are organized in sections by theme and accompanied by brief introductions.

Jews in the Canary Islands 

Being a calendar of Jewish cases extracted from the records of the 

Canariote Inquisition in the collection of the Marquess of Bute 

Translated from the Spanish and edited with an introduction and notes by Lucien Wolf 

In 1504, the Office of the Inquisition was set up in the remote Spanish holdings on the Canary Islands to 

seek out crypto-Jews, sorcerers, and other heretics. Jews in the Canary Islands is a calendar of Jewish cases 

brought before the Canariote Inquisition between 1499 and 1818, when the Inquisition was discontinued. 

Together with an Introduction analyzing the work of the Inquisition and explaining its relation to general 

Jewish history until 1928, this is a fascinating collection of records showing not only the workings of the 

Inquisition, but the lives of crypto-Jews during a time of fierce repression.

Soldiers of Christ 

Preaching in Late Medieval and Reformation France 

Winner of the 1996 John Nicholas 

Brown Prize of the Medieval 

Academy of America 

Larissa Juliet Taylor 

In an age when the printed book was still in its infancy, the pulpit was the mass medium. A vital part of religious 

life, sermons were the chief occasions on which the church attempted to bridge the gap between high theology 

and popular religious culture. The preaching event provided the opportunity for men and women to socialize, 

flirt, dispute with or mock the preacher and, in a more positive way, to heed the preacher’s words and change 

their lives. Larissa Juliet Taylor has examined over 1600 sermons given by the leading lay preachers in France 

between 1460 and 1560, and examines the social context of preaching and the sermon while reconstructing 

popular attitudes towards original sin, free will, purgatory, the Devil, the sacraments, and the magical arts.

Tudor Historical Thought 


F.J. Levy 

Tudor Historical Thought is a revealing account of vital changes in intellectual orientation. F.J. Levy’s seminal 

work explores the factors – humanism, theology, antiquarianism, Machiavellianism – that brought about 

the changes in historical thinking from the time of Caxton to that of Bacon, Raleigh, and Camden. 

At the beginning of the sixteenth century, chroniclers exemplified the workings of Providence and taught 

personal morality; a hundred years later, however, the idea of teaching practical statecraft had been introduced. 

The Italian humanists emphasized the political aspects of man, and made the active citizen rather 

than the cloistered monk their ideal. That citizen needed guidance, and it was the duty of the historian to 

supply it. Questions of politics, which had been important for nearly half a century, suddenly were placed 

at the centre, and with that a new kind of history writing appeared in England.

François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire and Jacob Burckhardt.

The Social World of the Florentine Humanists, 1390–1460 

Lauro Martines 

Lauro Martines’s exhaustive search of manuscript material in the state archives of Florence is the basis for a 

fascinating portrayal of representative humanists of the period. The Social World of the Florentine Humanists 

explores the wealth, family tradition, civic prominence, and intellectual achievements of these individuals 

while assessing the attitudes of other Florentines towards them. Martines demonstrates that humanists 

tended to be wealthy educated men from important families, challenging longheld assumptions about the 

status of humanists in that society. 

First published in 1963, this groundbreaking study provides a detailed picture of the social structure 

of Florence in the Quattrocento that influenced a generation of scholars and illuminated a complex and 

multifaceted world.

The World of the Florentine Renaissance Artist 

Projects and Patrons, Workshop and Art Market 

Martin Wackernagel 

Translated by Alison Luchs 

First published in German in 1938 and later translated into English, this classic of Italian Renaissance historiography 

centres on the relationship between Florentine art and the conditions under which it was created. In 

rich detail, Martin Wackernagel explores the impact of patronage and function, widespread demand for 

art, workshop techniques, and business practices on artists’ lives and the results they achieved. 

Wackernagel stresses the changing roles of commissions and patrons in the late fourteenth to the early 

fifteenth centuries, from small-scale enterprise under Lorenzo de Medici to the large-scale development of 

major Florentine monuments. Through this, he highlights the development of major civic and religious 

artistic complexes such as the Palazzo Vecchio, the Cathedral and Baptistery, and the convent of Santa 

Maria Novella. This volume also features a biography of the author and an essay on important later publications 

related to Wackernagel’s themes and arguments.
