William of Saint-Amour: De periculis novissimorum temporum by G Geltner In early 1256, amidst growing tensions between Parisian secular and mendicant academies, the theologian William of Saint-Amour published his major assault on the friars, De periculis novissimorum temporum. As its title proclaims, the treatise employed the exegetical language of apocalypticism to expose the mendicants’ success as the ultimate universal threat. This volume offers a fresh Latin edition of De periculis and its first translation into any modern language. The introduction supplies the immediate context for the treatise’s original publication. 157p (Peeters Publishers 2008, Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations 8) paperback, 9789042920101, $54.00.

Later, he made a record of what he saw, heard and believed in a verse chronicle, the Bella parisiacae urbis. His often stirring account is not concerned with an impartial narration of events, but rather with salvation through history – of the individual and of the nation of the Franks. 130p (Peeters Publishers 2007, Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations 7) paperback, 9789042919167, $51.00.

A Thirteenth-Century Textbook of Mystical Theology at the University of Paris by L M Harrington The luminaries of late thirteenth-century Europe took great interest in the mysterious fifth-century author known as Dionysius the Areopagite. They typically read Dionysius not in the original Greek, but in a Latin edition prepared sometime in the middle of the thirteenth century. This edition was no mere translation. In addition to the famous translation made in the ninth century, it contained translations of scholia on the Dionysian texts, alternative readings, and excerpts from the Periphyseon. 120p (Peeters Publishers 2004, Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations 4) paperback, 9789042913943, $43.00. Special Offer $35.00 Mystical Theology The Glosses by Thomas Gallus and the Commentary of Robert Grosseteste on De Mystica Theologia edited by J McEvoy The treatise by the Pseudo-Dionysius De Mystica Theologia was translated into Latin in the ninth century and glossed by Thomas Gallus in 1233. This new, critical edition and translation are based upon all five manuscripts, two of which are recent discoveries. The commentary by Bishop Grosseteste was made at Lincoln around 1242. It was based upon his new version of the Greek text. Both are published here with a translation. 139p (Peeters Publishers 2003, Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations 3) paperback, 9789042913103, $51.00.

Its major focus, however, is the clear and comprehensive discussion of each thematic sermon part: the theme or scriptural text, its development in protheme and introduction, its division, subdivision, and embellishment. 76p (Peeters Publishers 2003, Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations 2) paperback, 9789042912427, $36.00.

Among those who denounced the study of the philosophical tradition of classical antiquity was Manegold of Lautenbach. He aimed his fiery polemical tract, the Liber contra Wolfelmum, at a master from Cologne who glorified the ancients while siding with the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry IV, against Pope Gregory VII in the struggle known as the Investiture Controversy. 142p (Peeters Publishers 2002, Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations 1) paperback, 9789042911925, $58.00.
