MEDIEVAL ACADEMY BOOKS NEW Three Cartularies from Thirteenth-Century Auxerre Edited by Constance Brittain Bouchard Three Cartularies from Thirteenth-Century Auxerre Edited by Constance Brittain Bouchard 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 Academy Books) Approx. 320 pp / 1 map / 6 x 9 / December 2012 Cloth 978-1-4426-4528-8 $90.00 (£62.99) 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. (Medieval Academy Books) 360 pp / 5 photos / 6 x 9 / 2009 Cloth 978-0-8020-9832-0 $70.00 (£48.99) 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. (Medieval Academy Books) 416 pp / 6 x 9 / 2009 Cloth 978-1-4426-3995-9 $95.00 (£66.99) 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.

MEDIEVAL ACADEMY BOOKS 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. (Medieval Academy Books) 150 pp / 6 x 9 / 2007 Cloth 978 0-8020-9336-3 $39.00 (£27.99) 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. (Medieval Academy Books) 664 pp / 6 x 9 / 2003 Cloth 978-0-8020-3613-1 $101.00 (£70.99) The Cartulary of Montier-en-Der, 666-1129 Edited by Constance Brittain Bouchard 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. (Medieval Academy Books) 440 pp / 6 x 9 / 2004 Cloth 978-0-8020-8807-9 $90.00 (£62.99) 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.
