John of Salisbury has long been celebrated as one of the foremost humanists of the twelfth-century renaissance, an erudite correspondent, legal expert, historian, poet, diplomat and po-litical thinker, and clerk to two successive arch-bishops of Canterbury, Theobald and Thomas Becket. His Metalogicon, ostensibly a defence of the role of logic and of Aristotles Organon in the educational syllabus of the day, makes a powerful argument for an educational system

of real practical utility for society, one whose intellectual coherence and rigour should un-derpin political morality and rational gover-nance. As such, it has been seen to stand along-side the more famous Policraticus as an integral part of the intellectual contribution of one of Europes great political theorists. This new

William, a Benedictine monk of Malmesbury in western England (died c. 1143), is well known as the author of two major historical works, on the English kings and bishops from the beginnings down to his own time. These and other works, especially several saints Lives, have always been easily accessible. But the com-mentary on Lamentations was not published in full until 2011. It presents itself as an ab-breviation of a ninth-century predecessor, one

of very few who had commented on this book. William follows his precursor in applying the traditional threefold interpretation: literal (historical), allegorical and moral. But he is no slavish imitator. He aims to re-write and im-

The Memory and Motivation of Jan Hus, Medieval Priest and Martyr

An exploration of the identity and significance of Jan Hus.

Jan Hus (1371-1415) gave his name to a social and religious revolution which captured the at-tention of Europe. The central figure in a late medieval reform movement, he died a con-demned heretic. Martyrdom made him famous

but his essential identity has remained a point of controversy. Who was Jan Hus? This work explores the driving forces in the life and work of this medieval priest as he moved from obscurity to the vulnerability of a publicly accused heretic and the disgraceful prelude to martyrdom. It also focuses on the construction and facilitation of the memory of Jan Hus. His-torical facts are often compelling but these postulations cannot be approached apart from the manner and process in which those events are remembered. This book illuminates the life and work of the medieval priest and martyr who rose from humble origins to national hero and popular saint on the platform of a unique and renewed practice of the Christian faith. So profound were his challenges to the church and so bellicose were the reactions to his untimely demise, that the name Jan Hus was destined never to fade into oblivion.

Sacred Authority and Temporal Power in the Writings of Bernard of Clairvaux

MedievAl church sTudies

The aftermath of the Investiture Controversy left the relationship between the Church and imperial power in ruins. In reaction to these de-velopments, the Concordat of Worms in 1122 sought a compromise to restore the association between the two sides. The Concordat was only the beginning, and a spirit of cooperation between the Church and temporal powers be-

gan to emerge. This collaborative relationship is exemplified in the writings of Bernard of Clair-vaux (10911153).Bernard of Clairvaux was both a Cistercian ab-bot and a major political figure in the twelfth century. He inherited the Latin vocabulary of earlier Christian writers, but needed a more nu-anced language to express the complex political relationship between church and state during the settlement of episcopal investiture. In his writings Bernard distinguished between the authority (auctoritas) of the Church and the power (potestas) of temporal rulers. The lan-guage of separation was designed to delineate spheres of influence rather than to reflect op-position a vocabulary that ultimately presents the relationship between the two powers as less of a fencing match and more of a dance. Sacred Authority and Temporal Power empha-sises and enhances our understanding of the significance of Bernards writings for the me-diation of power and authority in the twelfth century.

MedievAl voyAging

This volume offers a wide-ranging and inter-disciplinary treatment of European representa-tions of the Indies between the twelfth and the fifteenth centuries. Drawing on encyclopaedias, cosmographies and cartography, romance, ha-giography, and legend, it traces the influence of classical, late antique, and early medieval ideas on the later medieval geographical imagination,

including the imagined and experienced Indies of European travellers. Addressing the evidence of Latin and vernacular manuscripts, the book explores readers encounters with the most widely read travellers accounts, in particular, those of Marco Polo, Odorico da Pordenone, and Niccol Conti. Chapters on The Book of Sir John Mandeville, medieval Europes most idiosyncratic yet popular work of geography, alongside world maps produced across Europe, point to the ways in which representations of the Indies were inflected by temporal concerns, specifically, their relationship to Latin Chris-tendoms past, present, and future. The Indies relates the texts, documents, maps, and manu-scripts it discusses closely to the changing ideo-logical concerns of their times, notably those of mission and conversion, crusade, conquest, and economics. Nonetheless, the relationships that the work delineates between spatial representa-tions and notions of dominance, whether reli-

gious, political, economic, or epistemic, have implications for the post-medieval world.

MedievAl WoMen: TexTs And conTexTs

How does one construct a saint and promote a cult beyond the immediate community in which he or she lived? Italian mendicants had accumulated a good deal of experience in deal-ing with this politically explosive question. The posthumous description of the life of Francis of Assisi (d. 1226) written by the Master General of the order, Bonaventure (d. 1274), could be regarded as paradigmatic in this regard.

A similarly massive intervention in the produc-tion and diffusion of a cult can be observed in the case of the Dominican tertiary, Catherine of Siena (d. 1380), who in many respects (e.g. the imitation of Christ and her stigmatization) competed with Francis of Assisi. Raymund of Capua (d. 1399), the Master General of the or-der, established the foundation for the dissemi-nation of the cult by writing the authoritative life, but it was only the following generation that succeeded in establishing and disseminat-ing the cult on a broad basis by means of copies, adaptations, and translations. The question of how to make a cult, which stands at the center of this volume, thus presents itself in terms of the challenge of rewriting a legend for different audiences. The various contributions consider the role, not only of texts in many different ver-naculars (Czech, English, French, German, and Italian), but also of images, whether separately or in connection with one another.

5Sacred Communities, Shared Devotions Gender, Material Culture, and Monasticism in Late Medieval Germany

June L. Mecham, Alison Beach, Constance Berman, Lisa Bitel (eds.) approx. x + 278 p., 48 b/w ills., 1 b/w line art, 3 b/w tables, 156 x 234 mm, 2013, MWTC 29, HB, ISBN 978-2-503-54134-1, approx. 80 Publication date scheduled for May 2013


Sacred Communities, Shared Devotions takes us behind the gates of six medieval Saxon con-vents and into the lives of rich and noble nuns going about their daily labour of religion just

before the Lutheran Reformation. Drawing on writings by and about the nuns, as well as an analysis of the costly art and architecture of their monasteries, June Mecham reveals how monastic women wielded their wealth to create a ritual environment dense with Christian im-ages and meanings. Mecham argues that nuns chose devotions and rituals within the frame-work of a distinct material culture, influenced by local religious customs, gender structures, and social protocols. She questions perceived differences between monastic and lay piety, emphasizing instead the shared religious cul-ture in which monastic and laywomen actively participated, and the continuity that shaped female devotion. Looking through lenses of art, history, and spirituality, Mecham describes the spiritual and social tensions caused by women who vowed poverty but lived a seemingly lav-ish life funded by private income. Medieval re-formers, as well as modern scholars, suggested that profligate nuns hastened the decline of medieval convents, but Sacred Communities,

Shared Devotions proves that these women did not oppose reform. They simply fought to maintain their traditional devotions and re-ligious environments even as they adapted to new religious sensibilities.

Raising the Dead Early Medieval Name Stones in Northumbria

Christine Maddernapprox. x + 299 p., 40 b/w ills., 10 colour ills., 156 x 234 mm, 2013, SEM 38, HB, ISBN 978-2-503-53218-9, 95 Publication date scheduled for May 2013

sTudies in The eArly Middle Ages

This is the first work to explore and explain the form, function, and theological meaning of Northumbrian name stones, both in their immediate Insular setting and within a wider European context. Earlier studies have concen-trated on the archaeological and epigraphic as-pects of these monuments, which has resulted

in a tentative dating framework but also a blan-ket designation of gravestones. This book chal-lenges the assumptions behind this designation

and focuses on the iconography of name stones as a reflection of theological ideas of the period, based on a central hypothesis that many emu-late the format of manuscript pages. The author also addresses the contentious ques-tion of the placing of name stones, in particu-lar whether some stones were actually placed in the grave. Her analysis presents not only evidence of differential burial practices within the same Northumbrian cemeteries, but offers parallel examples from other monastic sites in both Britain and the Continent and sig-nificantly broadens the field of argument about early medieval burial practices. In this book, the author combines approaches from ecclesi-astical history and iconography, theology, and archaeology to draw out the significance of the Northumbrian name stones and to explore the living presence of the dead in early medieval religious communities.

Preaching and Political Society From Late Antiquity to the End of the Middle Ages / Depuis lAntiquit tardive jusqu la fin du Moyen ge

The connections between preaching, politics, and society have been manifold yet varied in the period from late Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. In this multi-lingual volume, these associations are studied within their historical context over twelve new contribu-

tions, addressing a wide range of geographical areas and opening up a series of sources which have previously been neglected. Special atten-tion is paid to the cultural and geographical circumstances in which the complex relation-ship between political thought and preaching should be explored. These contributions reveal the circumstances and the procedures that in-spire various preachers to reflect upon political topics, which are often of a sensitive nature. In this way, the powerful and the general public of believers have access to an array of political ideas, allowing opinion-making and political discussion. Furthermore, the collection also shows news ways in which political thought and preaching can be explored, revealing new methods and lines of inquiry allowing insights into the complexities of medieval societies. The international cast of contributors provides a broad perspective on the subject, through six articles in French, and six in English.

composite homiliaries; and a few question our concept of early medieval sermons as a peculiar genre that merits special attention. By bring-ing early medieval sermons into the centre of discussion this volume, which is the first book dedicated to early medieval sermons and ho-miliaries, makes an important contribution to our understanding of the religious culture of the early medieval West. This multi-lingual col-lection of papers examines a plethora of texts which, in the past, were pushed to the margins of historical research, and offers a fresh look at these works in their own cultural, religious, and social context.

Writings on the Spiritual LifeA Selection of Works of Hugh, Adam, Achard, Richard, Walter, and Godfrey of St Victor

vicTorine TexTs in TrAnslATion

The Canons following the Rule of St Augustine at St Victor in Paris were some of the most in-fluential religious writers of the Middle Ages. They combined exegesis and spiritual teaching in a theology that was deeply rooted in tradi-tion but also attuned to current developments in the schools of Paris. This selection of their writings on the spiritual life is divided into three sections. The first presents three works by Achard and Richard which treat the develop-ment of Christian life from the beginnings of conversion to the perfection of love and con-

templation. Prayer, meditation and the gifts of the Holy Spirit are the subjects of the works by Hugh and Richard included in the second section. The final section presents poetical, ex-egetical and homiletic works honoring Mary by Hugh, Adam, Richard and Godfrey. This rich and representative sampling of Victorine works is a clear window into a world that still has much to offer modern readers interested in spirituality, medieval or modern.

The editor of this volume is Christopher P. Evans (PhD, St Louis University; Depart-ment of Theology, University of St. Thomas, Houston, TX), the editor of Hildegard of Bingens Explanatio symboli sancti Athana-sii (2007), Vita sancti Disibodi, Vita sancti Ruperti and the Triginta octo questionum solutiones ( forthcoming; Corpus Chris-tianorum, Continuatio Mediaevalis) and Radulphus Ardens: The Questions on the Sacraments (2010).

and early printed traditions. By examining sermon technique and methodology contribu-tors present related material that either travels alongside sermons or shares the same preaching or teaching milieu. While analysing sermons and other homiletic material, the essays also ex-plore areas, such as the dating and illustration of incunabula, which have an important bearing on the sermons and devotional literature of the period, but are normally studied in an isolated fashion. These fit in well with the particular emphasis in the collection on the sermon in the early printed period. In addition, attention is paid to some of the ways in which sermon-study was first brought to the fore by late nineteenth-century editors and early twentieth-century commentators. In this way various threads are brought together, new texts and ideas present-ed, and potential future avenues for research suggested that will continue to be important for an understanding of sermons and related reli-gious literature in late medieval England.

Despite their large number and their potential significance for our understanding of the gen-esis of Christian thought and practice, early medieval sermons have been conspicuously neglected by modern scholarship. Taking their lead from recent studies that transformed our understanding of the post-Roman world, the various contributors to this collection of essays explore a wide range of topics related to the composition, transmission, and dissemination of sermons and homiliaries in the early me-dieval West. Some papers focus on individual sermons in an attempt to identify their authors and aims; others examine the manuscript evi-dence for the compilation and transmission of

Mit dem vorliegenden vierten Band zum Hu-manismus in der Kurpfalz wird erstmals der Beitrag des Verlagswesens zur Antikerezepti-on in der Frhen Neuzeit, insbesondere zur Grzistik, seiner Bedeutung angemessen dar-gestellt. Hieronymus Commelinus (ca. 1550-1597) regte nicht nur unermdlich Publikatio-nen an, die er in seiner Offizin druckte, sondern war auch selbst ein produktiver Editor. Er gab u.a. die 1595 Akten des Konzils von Ephesos (431) heraus und kompilierte aus verschiede-nen Historikern eine 1587 gedruckte Gesamt-darstellung der englischen Geschichte von der ausgehenden Sptantike bis zum Hundertjh-rigen Krieg (1337-1453). Sein Lektor Fried-rich Sylburg (1536-1596) machte sich um zahl-reiche vor allem griechische Autoren verdient. Noch fr den bedeutenden reformierten Ver-leger Andreas Wechel in Frankfurt am Main ttig, verffentlichte er 1584 bis 1587 eine elfbndige Werkausgabe des Aristoteles und di-verser Philosophen der peripatetischen Schule

sowie 1588 bis 1589 eine aus zahlreichen latei-nischen und griechischen Autoren zusammen-gestellte Historia Romana in drei Bnden. In die Heidelberger Zeit fallen Editionen patris-tischen Schrifttums, aber auch eine gemeinsam mit Commelinus erarbeitete Sammlung mittel-alterlicher Quellen zum Islam (1595). Simon Stenius (1539-1619) bemhte sich besonders um die Vermittlung des Kirchenvaters Basi-leios. Vor allem als Erluterer des Horaz trat Lambertus Ludolfus Pithopoeus (1535-1596) hervor. Der Prediger Balthasar Copius (ca. 1530-1600) wirkte u.a. als Vermittler des Hei-delberger Katechismus in die Niederlande wh-rend der Zeit vor dessen Annahme als refor-mierte Bekenntnisschrift durch die Synode von Dordrecht (1618-1619). Mit dem jahrhunder-telang in ganz Europa verbreiteten metrischen Lexikon Prosodia (1599) des Henricus Smetius (1537-1614) wird auerdem das erfolgreichste Werk in der Geschichte des kurpflzischen Hu-manismus vorgestellt.

On 5 December 1709 in Bologna Lucia Cre-monini is accused of a terrible crime: the mur-der of her newborn son. This tragic episode, exhumed from the depths of time, is placed at the centre of an enthralling study by one of the leading scholars of modern history and the his-

tory of religious beliefs. During the course of a dramatic trial the crime is debated by represen-tatives of religious, philosophical, moral, and scientific culture, all characteristic of the forma-tive period of the modern world and all seeking a convincing answer to fundamental questions. When does life begin? When can a human be-ing first be described as such, so that his or her killing is a crime punishable by the maximum penalty? What is the true role of baptism in the formation of the human person? These are all highly topical questions in an age like our own, where belief is subject to the powerful assaults of scientific research and new questions are be-ing raised about the essence and the limits of human existence.

lATe MedievAl And eArly Modern sTudies

The Drama of Reform establishes the impact of late medieval and early modern religious reform on dramaturgy. Taking an interdisciplinary ap-proach, it examines the interactions between theatricality and theology across a range of dif-ferent plays including the Croxton Play of the Sacrament, Jacke Jugeler, John Bales Three Laws, and Lewis Wagers Life and Repentaunce of Mary Magdalene. Tracing the development of argu-ments concerning the interpretation of the sacra-ments, the relationship between priests and play-ers, and the use and abuse of imagery and drama in religious worship, The Drama of Reform draws on a rich variety of contextual materials includ-

ing liturgical texts, heresy trial accounts, dramatic treatises, polemical tracts, and religious laws. Fo-cussed on the period between Archbishop Arun-dels Constitutions in the fifteenth century and Archbishop Cranmers second Book of Common Prayer in the sixteenth, The Drama of Reform explores the phenomenological similarities be-tween drama and certain religious rites, notably the eucharist, and proposes that religious reform prompted attempts to reform dramaturgy. In presenting this analysis, the author argues that while drama continued to function as dramatic propaganda, efforts to initiate new modes of playing were only partially successful.

This volume presents a thorough study of the more than a thousand preserved Danish medi-eval rural parish churches. It traces the trans-formations of church interiors from c. 1450 to 1600 (thus covering both the emergence and

impact of the Danish Reformation) by inter-preting material changes within a broad histori-cal perspective that highlights changes in reli-gious practices and liturgy. The book explores the spatial and artistic implications of liturgy as well as the role of the congregation, the donor, and the clergy both in shaping and disrupting these interiors. It sets out to answer four basic questions: What did these rural churches look like by the middle of the fifteenth century? How did they change from the middle of the fifteenth century to the end of the sixteenth? How were they used and integrated into pub-lic as well as private ceremonies? And how may these churches have been perceived and experi-enced by the congregation and clergy.This study seeks to establish a methodological framework that incorporates the disciplines of archaeology, art history, history, and theology,

Lorenzo de Medici (144992) was in his own time one of the most renowned of Renaissance figures. This collection of essays explores Lo-renzos apprenticeship as the de facto ruler of Florence and the means by which he exerted

control over friends and clients to ensure the ascendancy of the Medici dynasty. The es-says place the religious and artistic patron-age of Lorenzo in the context of his political

career and explore other important aspects of his emergence as the princely citizen of a still proud republic. Francis W. Kent (19422010) established his reputation as a cultural and so-cial historian of Renaissance Florence with his first monograph, Household and Lineage in Re-naissance Florence. He turned his attention to Lorenzo de Medici in the late 1980s, produc-ing a steady stream of essays, collected here for the first time, and a major study of Lorenzos art patronage, Lorenzo de Medici and the Art of Magnificence. After the death of Nicolai Rubinstein in 2002, the first general editor of the multi-volume critical edition of Lorenzo de Medicis letters, Kent took charge of the ongoing project and oversaw the publication of several more volumes. His forthcoming bio-graphical study of Lorenzos early career will be published by Harvard University Press.

Space, Place and Ornament: the Function on Landscape in Medieval Manuscript Illumination

MAnuscripT sTudies (ouTside A series)

This book proposes a new methodological framework for the study of medieval landscape imagery, by analyzing the functions of landscape imagery within Northern European manuscript

illumination. Taking a historicist approach, this study explores landscape imagery within a broad range of specific manuscript contexts, taking into account the ideological and the eco-nomic milieus in which they were produced. Organized into three sections, this study will look at how landscape functioned as ornament, didactic tool (space) and political tool (place). The first section looks at the role that landscape imagery had in the hierarchy of book decora-tion, and how it responded to late medieval mnemonic systems and devotional practices. It also addresses the emergence of landscape as a form of ornamental elaboration, sometimes as a means to appeal to specific aesthetic criteria, or as a way to create extra-textual associations to augment the message of the text. The second section is concerned with landscape within en-

cyclopedic and allegorical manuscripts, and will analyze how artists constructed space to com-municate specific lessons or ideas, for example to frame debates about the role of agricultural labor or to present the dynastic ambitions of the Burgundian court. Finally, the third section explores the visualization of the political and economic landscape of late medieval Europe, particularly focusing on how landscape was structured to respond issues of status, power and identity not only in works created for the landed nobility but within manuscripts made for urban patrons as well. Concentrating on manuscripts from Paris, Northern France and Flanders from the late thirteenth to the early sixteenth centuries, this book will offer new insights as it contextualizes the emergence of landscape painting in the late middle ages.

Lieux saints, fonds pour diverses raisons, ces chapelles ont connu de nombreuses transformations et elles sont riches en matriel qui claire plusieurs aspects de lart et de la socit mdivaux de la rgion. Retires dans des endroits solitaires, ces chapelles ont toute-fois eu un rle actif dans la pratique du culte des diverses communauts et notamment des

Quelle est la diff-rence entre les chapelles des diverses priodes ? Quels sont leurs rapports avec les monuments construits ? Ce sont les questions que nous nous sommes poses. Les peintures des glises rupestres dOhrid et de Prespa tmoignent des changements stylistiques et iconographiques, ainsi que des mouvements des artistes entre les divers centres artistiques de lEmpire (Thes-salonique, Constantinople, Kastoria, Ohrid, Plagonie).

This is the first monograph in English pub-lished on the successful Bolognese seven-teenth-century artist Elisabetta Sirani (1638-1665). Modesti presents Sirani as a subject of her own genre, underlining the painters inno-vative qualities, not only in artistic terms, but also from a socio-political and historical per-spective. The authors discussion of the material context of womens artistic production and of the Bolognese seventeenth-century cultural

world evidences how Sirani epitomized a new model of femininity and a new rising social genre: the single professional woman. Having been rightly admitted to an artistic, social, and cultural world historically dominated by men, Sirani was an unmarried woman who chose a productive and rewarding career over the traditional role of wife and mother. An ultra-modern artist, deemed by her contemporaries to be extremely talented and inventive, Sirani affirmed her professional status within a mostly male world thanks to her extraordinary cul-tural learning and virtuoso artistic skills, as well as the clever management of her public image and success.Being a woman was not a hindrance to Sirani, but rather a positive element: by projecting her own image and identity onto the femme fortes of ancient history, and by inviting important guests to her studio so as to observe her paint-ing, she organized her own public exhibition, thus becoming both the subject and the object of her own art. Modesti underscores Siranis momentous role in the professionalization of

Italian womens cultural production and artistic practice at the beginning of the modern era and highlights Siranis role as an example for succes-sive generations of professional women artists.

sTudies in ByzAnTine hisTory And civilizATion

This book examines the phenomena of por-traits and icons, and spans from late antiquity through the end of the Byzantine period. En-gaging a wide range of material, it addresses persistent themes in the creation of a distinctly

Christianized portraiture while analyzing the cultural and theological perceptions that guided its reception. Christian Rome inherited from antiquity its traditions and beliefs regard-ing portraits. Though altered for its new Chris-tian context, these perceptions did not disap-pear. This study proves that within Christian portraiture, the icon is not reserved for saints alone. Instead, one must imagine the Byzantine world as one where sacred and secular art inter-mingled, and portraits of Christ and the saints, emperors, bishops, and holy men existed side by side in visual messages of hierarchal author-ity. Indeed, in the portrayal of power and holi-ness, there existed a range of images that can be classified as icons. Certain individuals of high-ranking status, though not saints, were por-trayed in ways that recall images of saints be-cause their spiritual or divine authority ranked them closer to God. Their positions further up

the hierarchy enabled them to help others in their spiritual ascent and daily needs. Viewers in turn understood these elevated members of their community to be efficacious intercessors and their portraits to be worthy of veneration.

Katherine Marsengill received her PhD in Byzantine Art from Princeton University in 2010. Since completion of her degree, she has taught at Princeton and been a research and educational advisor for the exhibition Transi-tions to Christianity: Art of Late Antiquity, 3rd 7th Century AD at the Onassis Cultural Center in New York (December 2011 May 2012).

ArT hisTory (ouTside A series)

During the Middle Ages, textiles played a par-ticularly prominent role in the communication of wealth and authority by mediating the body politic and defining spaces of political, reli-gious, and social power. The intrinsic material value of textiles which could be woven out of silk, enriched with silver and gold threads, and garnished with precious stones complement-ed an elaborate visual language that conveyed ideological messages. Because textiles are portable, wearable and dis-playable their performative qualities result in multivalent meanings that medieval patrons exploited. In essence, the meaning of textiles can never truly be fixed. Textiles inherently represent a confluence of messages because

sTudies in The visuAl culTures oF The Middle Ages

This book investigates the origins and trans-formations of medieval image culture and its reflections in theology, hagiography, historiog-raphy and art. It deals with a remarkable phe-nomenon: the fact that, after a period of 500 years of absence, the tenth century sees a revival of monumental sculpture in the Latin West. Since the end of Antiquity and the pagan use of free-standing, life-size sculptures in public and private ritual, Christians were obedient to the Second Commandment forbidding the making and use of graven images. Contrary to the West, in Byzantium, such a revival never

occurred: only relief sculpture mostly inte-grated within an architectural context was used. However, Eastern theologians are the authors of highly fascinating and outstanding original theoretical reflections about the nature

and efficacy of images. How can this differ-ence be explained? Why do we find the most fascinating theoretical concepts of images in a culture that sticks to two-dimensional icons often venerated as cult-images that are copied and repeated, but only randomly varied? And why does a groundbreaking change in the cul-ture of images the revival of monumental sculpture happen in a context that provides more restrained theoretical reflections upon images in their immediate theological, liturgi-cal and artistic contexts? These are some of the questions that this book seeks to answer.The analysis and contextualization of the revival of monumental sculpture includes reflections on liturgy, architecture, materiality of minor arts and reliquaries, medieval theories of percep-tion, and gift exchange and its impact upon practices of image veneration, aesthetics and political participation. Drawing on the histori-cal investigation of specific objects and texts between the ninth and the eleventh century, the book outlines an occidental history of im-age culture, visuality and fiction, claiming that only images possess modes of visualizing what in the discourse of medieval theology can never be addressed and revealed.

Au centre de cette recherche figure la fameuse tenture dAlexandre, restaure et expose depuis 2008 au Palazzo del Principe, la villa dAndrea Doria Gnes, ici tudie en comparaison avec lensemble de tapisseries et de manuscrits ddis Alexandre du XVe sicle, en particulier conservs au Petit Palais, Muse des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris et Glasgow.

Ceci est un buf: la querelle des inscriptions en peinture

En crivant Ceci nest pas une pipe sous limage dune pipe, Magritte sinscrit en faux contre le concept de mimsis qui, depuis lAnti-quit, prsente la peinture comme une copie du monde rel. Tout en polmiquant avec la mimsis, son tableau rpond une anecdote an-tique: selon lien, les premiers peintres taient contraints dcrire ct de leurs figures ceci

est un buf, ceci est un cheval , tant elles taient mconnaissables. lpoque moderne, la for-tune de cette anecdote rvle lexistence dun dbat sur les inscriptions et leur utilit dans la peinture, dbat aussi mconnu que le phno-mne des inscriptions lui-mme. Or ce dbat, en apparence limit, renvoie la vocation fon-damentale de lart: doit-il plaire ou enseigner? Reprsenter ou signifier? En effet, linscription met en tension reprsentation et signification, pourtant indissociables dans la rception de luvre dart: ses partisans invoquent les nces-sits de la signification, et ses adversaires celles de la reprsentation illusionniste. Lpoque moderne est traverse par ces contradictions: dun ct, la modernit postule lautono-mie de lart et rejette les inscriptions comme un expdient archaque; de lautre, le rle didac-tique des images parat un enjeu crucial tant

aux yeux des thologiens de la Rforme et de la Contre-Rforme, soucieux dinstruire les masses et de lutter contre lhrsie, quauprs des institutions artistiques qui, de Louis XIV la Rvolution, veulent largir le public de lart pour le mettre au service de lunit nationale. Cette proccupation culmine la veille de la Rvolution franaise, pour se concrtiser bien-tt lors de la cration des muses: on met des tiquettes sous les tableaux. En suivant ce dbat au fil de ses actualisations historiques, le lecteur sera libre de faire sienne la rponse de Magritte, ou de considrer la question comme toujours ouverte: devant une image, faut-il comprendre ce quelle reprsente? Quel est le rapport entre plaisir cognitif et plaisir esthtique? Le langage de lart est-il irrductible toute signification verbale?

Caussin travaille pour dautres prestigieux bibliophiles, dont le plus clbre est sans nul doute le duc de Bourgogne en personne, Philippe le Bon.

This groundbreaking volume explores the in-tersection of dreams, medicine, and literary practice in the poetry of Chaucer and influen-tial literary works from antiquity through the late fourteenth century. An introductory explo-ration considers topics such as Asclepian dream healings of ancient Greece, Old English poetry,

medieval mystics, and foundational works by Hippocrates, Aristotle, Galen, Avicenna, Mac-robius, and others. Detailed analyses of a series of Chaucers poems follow. Frequently incorpo-rating and commenting on antecedent works, these late medieval poems span various genres including the dream-vision, the romance-trag-edy, and the comic tale. Dreams and medicine are woven into the fabric of these texts, the au-thor contends, revealing distinct and often sur-prising insights. One such insight is the double potential of literary practice, medicine, and dreams - that is, each is capable of facilitating healing and wholeness yet equally capable of causing harm and disease. Ultimately, this book shows that the joining together of medicine and dreams constitutes a vital dimension of these key works in Western literature - one that reveals a profound connection between litera-ture and the fundamentally human experiences of disease, healing, and dreaming.

Since his death in Babylon in 323 BC, Alex-ander the Great has inspired an unparalleled legacy founded on both histories and legends. From ancient Alexandria to twentieth-century

America, and from politics to popular enter-tainment, he has remained a source of fascina-tion and debate. Today our conception of Alexander rests upon two Roman inventions of history. The first, that of a bloodthirsty tyrant corrupted by Persian decadence, was recovered in medieval monasteries and thrived for centuries, until the second, which viewed Alexander as an enlight-ened ruler and the head of a harmonious global empire, flourished in the age of humanism. From this clash of intellectual movements arose our modern debates over Alexander as either a madman or a philosopher-king, the epitome of corruption or of ideal government. This book explores the investigation of Latin and Greek histories of Alexander in twelfth- to sev-enteenth-century England and the radical evolu-tion of a man still abhorred and imitated today.

Version primitive de la future Prisonnire, le Ca-hier 53, rdig au dbut de la Grande Guerre, tire sa substance de prcdents Cahiers dAlbertine et sorganise autour de larmature de la matine, hrite du projet Contre Sainte-Beuve. En 1916, Proust en arracha de nombreuses pages pour nourrir dautres cahiers : le fac-simil critique reconstitu par les diteurs permet de saisir le dynamisme si caractristique de son criture.

There is a word that appears regularly on the pages of Prousts manuscript and which des-cribes perfectly the first two volumes in this series: Capitalissime. (Thomas Baldwin, in French Studies: A Quar-terly Review 63/4, October 2009, p. 487)

Reviews on previous CahiersConstitu en 1962 et complt en 1985, le fonds Marcel Proust est lun des fleu-rons du dpartement des Manuscrits de la Bibliothque nationale de France, et lun des plus riches et complets de manuscrits littraires jamais runi. Les Cahiers 1 75 prs de huit mille pages en constituent la pice matresse.

Cette publication est incontestablement prometteuse.(M. Vernet, dans Acta/Fabula, 19 janvier 2009)The importance of this and future editions of the cahiers for scholars working in the field of genetic criticism is immeasurable. These volumes also offer a fascinating addition to Proustian scholarship more generally by ma-king such high-quality and meticulously an-notated reproductions accessible outside the BnF. Moreover, the quality of these editions feels considerably closer to the originals than the microfiche format in which they are now accessed in the BnF. The publication of further cahiers is thus to be eagerly awaited. (M. Topping, in Modern Language Review 105/1, January 2010, p. 252)

tributed to St Bernard of Clairvaux. Whether in its Latin form or its Middle English ren-dering, this work is a fascinating text and one with considerable artistic merit. It is neither a flamboyant text nor one strewn with images such as one encounters in the Ancrene Wisse. It is a quiet text, with the beauty and simplicity of a manuscript perfectly written in an elegant script, where no illustration distracts the reader from its reading.
