This book seeks to reconsider the commonly held view that some of Ephrem’s writings are anti-
Semitic, and that his relationship with Judaism is polemical and controversial. The outcome of the
research highlights several key issues. First, it indicates that the whole emphasis of Ephrem’s criti-
cal remarks about Jews and Judaism is directed towards Christian conduct, and not towards Jews;
and second, it considers Ephrem’s negative remarks towards Jews strictly within the context of his
awareness of the need for a more clearly defined identity for the Syriac Church.
Furthermore, this book examines discernible parallels between Ephrem’s commentaries on Scrip-
ture and Jewish sources. Such an exercise contributes to a general portrait of Ephrem within the
context of his Semitic background. And in addition, the book offers an alternative reading of
Ephrem’s exegetical writings, suggesting that Ephrem was aiming to include Jews together with
Christians among his target audience. Further analysis of Ephrem’s biblical commentaries suggests
that his exegetical style resembles in many respects approaches to Scripture familiar to us from the
writings of Jewish scholars.
A comparison of Ephrem’s writings with Jewish sources represents a legitimate exercise, consider-
ing ideas that Ephrem emphasises, exegetical techniques that he uses, and his great appreciation of
‘the People’ – the Jews as a chosen nation and the people of God – an appreciation which becomes
apparent from Ephrem’s presentation of them. The process of reading Ephrem’s exegetical writings
in parallel with Jewish sources strongly identifies him as an heir of Jewish exegetical tradition who
is comfortably and thoroughly grounded in it. This reading identifies Ephrem on a theological,
exegetical and methodological level as a Christian writer demonstrating the qualities and features
of a Jewish sage.

tulée Speculum sanctorale. Située dans une histoire des légendiers dominicains, cette œuvre montre
l’évolution de l’hagiographie de cet ordre. Alors que les hagiographes dominicains du XIIIe siècle
répondent à des besoins ponctuels en privilégiant tantôt la sainteté locale tantôt la sainteté univer-
selle, Bernard Gui cherche à faire la synthèse entre ces différentes voies. Il produit alors une somme
hagiographique dont la composition minutieuse supporte les enjeux identitaires de la promotion
des saints de l’ordre, des cultes locaux et universels.
The version of the Rule of St Augustine used at the Abbey of St Victor began with the command
to love God above all things and one’s neighbor as oneself. Not surprisingly, then, love was a per-
vasive theme in the writings produced there, many of which are introduced and translated here :
(1) five lyrical essays by Hugh of St Victor (d. 1141): The Praise of Charity; The Betrothal Gift of
the Soul; In Praise of the Spouse; On the Substance of Love; What Truly Should Be Loved ?; (2) On
the Four Degrees of Violent Love, by Richard of St Victor (d. 1173), which traces the likenesses and
differences between romantic love and the love of God; (3) Achard of St Victor (d. 1170), Sermon
5 and two of Adam of St Victor’s sequences are examples of how these authors wove love into their
writings ; (4) excerpts from the Microcosmus by Godfrey of St Victor (d. ca. 1195), summarize the
central place of love in his humanistic theological anthropology.

Le Cantique des cantiques a été, durant toute l’Antiquité chrétienne, le livre de l’Ancien Testament
le plus lu après le Psautier. Dans le domaine grec, il a donné lieu à bon nombre de commentaires,
à partir desquels les chaînes exégétiques ont été constituées. Certaines exégèses du Cantique ne
sont aujourd’hui accessibles qu’à travers les chaînes : c’est le cas pour celles d’Apollinaire de Lao-
dicée et de Cyrille d’Alexandrie. La chaîne la plus intéressante est l’Épitomé de Procope de Gaza,
qui contient 390 citations empruntées à une dizaine d’auteurs (entre le IIIe et le Ve siècle). Il s’agit
d’un instrument de travail original, qui se propose de déployer les virtualités de sens du texte
biblique, en fournissant au lecteur un échantillonnage diversifié d’interprétations. L’Épitomé sur le
Cantique vient d’être édité dans le Corpus Christianorum (Series Graeca, 67). L’éditeur montre ici
comment le Cantique est interprété à travers l’Épitomé, verset après verset; il explicite le projet du
caténiste et étudie sa méthode de travail; il analyse les exégèses d’Apollinaire et de Cyrille, qui ne
sont pas transmises en dehors de l’Épitomé. Il étend l’enquête à d’autres chaînes sur le Cantique
en montrant, à partir d’une analyse précise des prologues, comment chacune introduit à la lecture
du Cantique.
The aim of the book is to gather together and present the Proceedings of the International Study
Congress on ‘Chromatius of Aquileia and his Age’, which took place in Aquileia from 22 to 24
May 2008, under the direction of Pier Franco Beatrice (Università degli Studi di Padova – Univer-
sity of Padua) and Alessio Peršič (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore –Catholic University of the
Sacred Heart [UCSC] Milan) and under the initiative of the ‘National Committee for the 16th
centenary anniversary of the death of Saint Chromatius, bishop of Aquileia’. The event stemmed
from the passionate interest traditionally shown by Christianity for its origins, inherited from the
thousand-year tradition of the Patriarchate of Aquileia. The Conference gathered together scholars
from Europe and America who are qualified in Chromatius’ work: a handwritten oeuvre only
recently saved from the anonymity in which it was steeped. In this way, the Congress wanted to
contribute in an original way and at an international level to increasing the literary historiography
of Aquileia (in particular at the time of Chromatius), which had and continues to have valued
enthusiasts in Friuli, but which does not always seem to be as practised and known as it deserves
to be elsewhere.
En 1956 était publié, à l’Institut d’Archéologie orientale du Caire, un ouvrage important de Hans
Lewy sur les Oracles chaldaïques, Chaldaean Oracles and Theurgy. Mysticism, Magic and Platonism
in the Later Roman Empire. Cette étude, vite épuisée, fut l’objet, en 1978, d’une nouvelle édition
dans la Collection des Études augustiniennes, due à Michel Tardieu, qui accompagnait le texte de
H. Lewy d’une série de douze compléments, parmi lesquels une contribution de E. R. Dodds,
et une autre de P. Hadot. Cet ouvrage, qui reste fondamental pour la connaissance des Oracles
chaldaïques et de toute la philosophie ancienne, était épuisé depuis longtemps, et Michel Tardieu
en propose aujourd’hui une troisième édition : à côté de menues corrections, cette nouvelle édi-
tion comporte un treizième complément, « Les Oracles chaldaïques 1891-2011 », qui offre une
synthèse de 120 ans de recherches, depuis les travaux de Jahn, en 1891, jusqu’à nos jours, et une
bibliographie répartie en cinq sections, qui dépouille l’ensemble de la production sur le sujet. Avec
cette nouvelle édition, le lecteur dispose de la mise à jour d’un instrument essentiel à l’étude des
Oracles chaldaïques et de la philosophie ancienne.
RELIGION, THEOLOGY & CHURCH HISTORY
Radulphus Ardens (fl. 1190s) was a famous preacher and a distinguished theologian. While mod-
ern scholarship is already familiar with his sermon collections, his final work, the Speculum uniuer-
sale, still remains unedited and virtually unexplored. In it he discusses questions and solutions
to what he calls the necessary sacraments, namely Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Penance,
and Extreme Unction. Building upon the sacramental theology of Peter Lombard and Simon of
Tournai, he offers solutions that advance the ideas of his predecessors, sometimes in unique ways.
He thereby becomes an important witness to the development of sacramental theology in the late
twelfth century.
This is the first Latin edition and translation of Radulphus’ treatment of the sacraments. The
introduction offers a biographical sketch, a summary of his writings, and an analysis of the manu-
script tradition of the Speculum. Included as well are extended Latin citations from elsewhere in
the Speculum, from Simon of Tournai’s Institutiones in sacram paginam, and from many other
post-Lombardian theologians such as Magister Martin and Praepositinus – a wealth of Latin
materials that situate Radulphus’ sacramental theology both within the framework of his moral
theology and within the theological milieu of the late twelfth century. This work will be of inter-
est to scholars and students who are interested in the history of sacramental theology in the early
scholastic period.
This volume contains translations of three of William of Auvergne’s shorter more spiritual works:
Cur Deus homo (Why God Became Man), De gratia (On Grace), and De fide (On Faith). Each work
touches upon the understanding of the relation between nature and grace, the moral and theo-
logical virtues, and of the need for our redemption by Christ and its character. The introduction
situates the treatises within William’s many works and within the thought of the early thirteenth
century.
In the first treatise William sets forth the reasons for the incarnation of the Word. In it he is deeply
influenced by Anselm of Canterbury’s emphasis on the need for satisfaction to be made to God for RELIGION, THEOLOGY & CHURCH HISTORY
human sin, a satisfaction that could only adequately be made by someone both divine and human.
While Anselm claimed to provide necessary reason of the incarnation, William admits that God
could have redeemed the world in another way.
In the second William argues for the need of grace in order for human beings to return to God and
aims to refute the position of the Pelagian heretics as he understood it.
The third treatise presents his understanding of faith as something that goes beyond the abilities of
unaided human nature, although he lacks the later concept of the supernatural.
From its first statement by Augustine, through its confirmation by Anselm and its spiritualiza-
tion by Bonaventure, to its final and fundamental formulation by Duns Scotus, the Augustinian
idea of order is clearly discernible in the characteristic proofs of God’s existence offered by these
philosopher-theologians. Not without reason, since for all of them the being of God is the guaran-
tor – origin, measure, and end – of the order of the cosmos. It is, moreover, the distinctive manner
in which each of them defines the problem of theistic proof that reveals most perspicuously the
way he conceives the idea of order that informs it. Their several proofs are their individual ways of
appropriating their common heritage.
In this posthumous work, Louis Mackey sketches the adventures of the idea of order in the Augus-
tinian tradition. Beginning with the proposition that not all who prove the existence of God are
proving the same thing, nor do they understand the proof in the same way, Mackey shows how,
even within the bounds of the Augustinian tradition, modes of proof and conceptions of what is to
be proven can vary when questioned from within, as by Anselm’s fool, or challenged from without
by the philosophy of Aristotle.

La denominada Crónica latina de los reyes de Castilla es uno de los tres grandes relatos históricos del s.
XIII redactados en latín sobre la historia de los reinos de Castilla y León, en su caso, desde la muerte
del conde Fernán González (970) hasta los tiempos de Fernando III (1230-1252), concluyendo en el
año 1236. Aunque la crónica se ha transmitido sin nombre de autor, en la actualidad existe un cierto
consenso a la hora de atribuirla al obispo Juan de Osma (también conocido como Juan de Soria)
(†1246), canciller y secretario de Fernando III.
La Historia de la traslación de san Isidoro es un relato hagiográfico anónimo elaborado verosí-
milmente en el monasterio de San Isidoro de León a finales del s. XII o comienzos del XIII. Se
distinguen en él dos partes: la narración del traslado de los restos del santo desde Sevilla a León en
1063 y de los últimos años del reinado de Fernando I (†1065); y una breve relación de los milagros
acaecidos junto a la tumba del santo en tiempos de Alfonso VI (1065-1109), de los que el autor se
presenta, en parte, como testigo presencial.
El Poema de Julia Rómula, en versos goliárdicos, se debe a Guillermo Pérez de la Calzada. Centrado
en la conquista de Sevilla por parte del rey Fernando III (1230-1252) en el año 1248, el poema
fue dedicado al infante don Alfonso, el futuro Alfonso X el Sabio, en 1250 con el deseo evidente
de obtener el favor de éste. Junto al relato del asedio y conquista de Sevilla, que el autor narra en
su calidad de testigo presencial, encontramos en el poema una breve historia encomiástica de la
ciudad hispalense desde sus orígenes, cuya fuente principal son las Etymologiae de Isidoro de Sevilla.

Comment sont nées les écoles parisiennes au début du XIIe siècle ? Quels ont été les maîtres et les
institutions qui ont compté dans ce processus ? Quelles sont les caractéristiques particulières de
la production savante à cette époque charnière ? Quels ont été les enjeux des débats de l’époque
et étaient-ils en rupture ou en continuité avec celles qui les précèdent ? Un tel questionnement
ne pouvait être tenté que dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire, en associant historiens, spécia-
listes de théologie, de philosophie, des théories du langage (grammaire, logique et rhétorique),
des textes manuscrits. Le travail mené en commun a permis de formuler de nouvelles hypothèses
sur cette période qui est celle de l’émergence de Paris comme centre de savoir et sur les doctrines
produites à l’époque, qui allaient marquer durablement tout le Moyen Âge.
Le premier ensemble de contributions brosse un état de la recherche, synthétique et critique, sur
l’état de la recherche dans les différents domaines concernés : la vie et les écrits de Guillaume de

« Collection 2011 » des contributions originales sur des thèmes, des auteurs, des doctrines. Le troisième présente deux
dossiers de discussions : l’une autour du commentaire sur Priscien attribué à Jean Scot Erigène,
l’autre sur cette question controversée qu’est l’apparition et la nature du « vocalisme ».
Sortent éclairés sous un jour nouveau des personnages connus, comme Anselme de Laon, Abélard,
Hugues de Saint-Victor, d’autres connus mais dont la production était difficile à identifier, tels
Manegold, Roscelin, Guillaume de Champeaux ou Josselin de Soissons, et également des textes
obstinément anonymes, telles les influentes Glosulae super Priscianum. C’est ainsi le milieu intellec-
tuel parisien du tournant des XIe / XIIe siècles qui se voit mieux compris, dans toute sa complexité,
à partir d’études qui croisent de manière complémentaire les approches historiques, littéraires et
doctrinales.
The late medieval Digby Mary Magdalene play is dominated by its female protagonist. The play-
wright seems deliberately to have crafted an especially complex version of the popular saint: a
multivalent female figure who both challenges boundaries and presents an exemplar of active,
virtuous womanhood.
This study begins by examining the play’s use of imagery common in lyric poetry. Phrases from
Latin scripture, liturgy and hymns accentuate the depiction of a protagonist who represents a
meshing of genres, conventions, languages and modes of signification. The play is also a fusion
of romantic and spiritual adventure which deploys two major romance ‘memes,’ creating a figure
who redefines the romance heroine as both Lady and Hero. Moreover, in echoing the fabliaux
MEDIEVAL & EARLY MODERN STUDIES
and other comic intertexts, the play straddles generic boundaries to explore contemporary social
issues. Finally, the play’s use of space and stagecraft highlights Mary’s ability to defy conventional
gender boundaries.
Since the Digby playwright demonstrates a broad knowledge of secular literature, this study situ-
ates his Mary Magdalene within the landscape of literary intertexts and contemporary concerns
that might have shaped his thinking. It examines the ways in which audience members might
have responded to a liminal figure who, marked by ambivalence and paradox, occupies the space
between earth and heaven, ordinary time and eternity, sensuality and sanctity.

Sovereignty, law, and the relationship between them are now among the most compelling topics
in history, philosophy, literature and art. Some argue that the state’s power over the individual has
never been more complete, while for others, such factors as globalization and the internet are sub-
verting traditional political forms. This book exposes the roots of these arguments in the Middle
Ages and Renaissance. The thirteen contributions investigate theories, fictions, contestations, and
applications of sovereignty and law from the Anglo-Saxon period to the seventeenth century, and
from England across western Europe to Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. Particular topics in-
clude: Habsburg sovereignty, Romance traditions in Arthurian literature, the duomo in Milan, the
political theories of Juan de Mariana and of Richard Hooker, Geoffrey Chaucer’s legal problems,
the accession of James I, medieval Jewish women, Elizabethan diplomacy, Anglo-Saxon political
subjectivity, and medieval French farce.
Together these contributions constitute a valuable overview of the history of medieval and Renais- Part of BREPOLS MISCELLANEA ONLINE
sance law and sovereignty in several disciplines. They will appeal to not only to political historians, Essays in Medieval Studies
but also to all those interested in the histories of art, literature, religion, and culture. « Collection 2011 » MEDIEVAL & EARLY MODERN STUDIES

Les actes de la table ronde se fondent sur une définition large du terme « humanistes » et sur la
prise en compte de l’insertion de ces derniers dans un contexte social. En outre, nous souhaitons
élargir la périodisation traditionnelle (fine du XIVe-début du XVIe siècle) et envisager la question
dès le XIIIe siècle. Cette proposition vise à reprendre la question des rapports des humanistes
avec la tradition des dictatores, afin de réexaminer la question des relations entre litterati laici
et litterati clerici. C’est pourquoi le point de départ choisi est plutôt celui d’une « culture huma-
niste » naissant de l’apparition des litterati laici qui se confrontent à la culture ecclésiastique : une
confrontation qui ne doit pas être lue en terme d’opposition ou de collaboration, mais plutôt de
féconde émulation et de continuel va et vient dans des contextes sociaux et culturels à reconstruire.
En somme, nous souhaiterions que notre rencontre contribue à éclairer les modalités d’un inves-
tissement tous azimuts des laïcs dans des domaines et des discours propres aux ecclésiastiques et
celles de l’appropriation, de la part des lettrés humanistes, de domaines et de formes discursives
qui étaient réservés aux clercs : la théologie, l’hagiographie (humanistes comme hagiographes et
humanistes comme protagonistes d’hagiographie), l’exégèse, le droit, la prédication, l’ecclésiologie,
voire l’iconographie.

Fra Mauro’s Mappamundi and Fifteenth-Century Venetian Culture

Fra Mauro’s mappamundi, drawn around 1450 in the monastery of San Michele on Murano in
the lagoon of Venice, is among the most relevant compendia of knowledge of the Earth and the
Cosmos of the fifteenth century. By examining literary, visual, textual and archival evidences,
some long considered lost, this book places the map within the larger context of Venetian culture
in the fifteenth century. It provides a detailed analysis of both its main sources (auctores veteres
such as Pliny, Solinus, Ptolemy, and novi, like Albert the Great, Thomas Aquinas, Marco Polo and
Niccolò de’ Conti) as well as of the composite networks of contemporary knowledge (scholasti-
cism, humanism, monastic culture, as well as more technical skills such as marine cartography
and mercantile practices), investigating the way they combine in the epistemological unity of the
imago mundi.
More a work on intellectual history than cartography, the book constructs a complex set of frame-
works within which to situate Fra Mauro’s monumental effort. These range from the cultural
history of the reception of the world map from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries to the
analysis of the material conditions under which map-makers such as Fra Mauro worked; from the
history of ideas, especially of natural philosophy to the links between world representations and
travel literature. It also addresses the Venetian reception of Ptolemy’s Geography, the interactions
between Venetian art, theology and cosmography and the complexities of the Venetian vernacular.
The books develops a multi-tiered approach, in which different elements of the rich cultural con-
text in which this world map was created, interact with each other, each casting a new light on the

Ce volume recueille les actes d’un colloque tenu à Bruxelles dans le cadre du programme inter-
national « Les élites au haut Moyen Âge » et se propose d’étudier la richesse comme critère d’ap-
partenance à l’élite sociale, politique ou religieuse et les usages faits de leurs biens matériels par les
membres de ces groupes.
La possession de biens matériels, qu’il s’agisse de terres, de demeures, de bijoux, d’armes, de biens de
production ou de biens de prestige, fait partie des éléments permettant à des groupes sociaux ou à
des individus d’exercer leur domination sur les autres. À côté du prestige qu’assure la culture ou de

Impliqué dans les âpres querelles religieuses de son époque Érasme n’a cessé de se défendre des
accusations d’hérésie portées contre lui par les théologiens et les hauts milieux romains. Son œuvre
comprend donc nombre d’écrits polémiques peu connus du public. Textes austères, qu’animent
pourtant la plume sarcastique et vigoureuse de l’humaniste, son érudition surprenante et la préci-
sion « philologique » de ses analyses.
Parmi les nombreuses apologies, la réponse à Alberto Pio se distingue par le rythme de son conte-
nu : tous les problèmes longuement débattus par Érasme au cours dans son œuvre y sont abordés,
que ce soit ses rapports avec Luther, la justification des Paraphrases, le problème des sacrements,
ou la question tant débattue depuis des siècles de la prépondérance du pape ou de celle des
conciles. Si bien que la réponse à Pio peut à juste titre être considérée comme une synthèse de la
MEDIEVAL & EARLY MODERN STUDIES
pensée d’Érasme.
Pour la première fois sont éditées la totalité des notes qu’Alberto Pio a ajoutées lors de sa lecture
dans la marge du texte érasmien : dialogue souvent acerbe entre ces deux humanistes, animés l’un
et l’autre d’une foi sincère et d’une conviction inébranlable. C’est le choc de deux mentalités,
l’une plus critique, l’autre traditionnaliste ; affrontement sans issue entre le dynamisme audacieux
du Nord et la fierté des Italiens attachés à leur grand passé et peu enclins à le mettre en question.

François Rabelais (1483 ou 1494 ? - 1553) est l’un des auteurs français qui a fait couler le plus
d’encre. Ses écrits, sur lesquels la recherche littéraire la plus avancée ne s’est, aujourd’hui encore,
pas toujours mise d’accord, ont déclenché de nombreuses polémiques passionnées, qui ont souvent
dépassé les frontières du monde littéraire proprement dit. Des sciences humaines aux sciences de la
nature, tous se sentent concernés par cette œuvre totale. Aux nombreux commentateurs s’ajoutent
encore ses admirateurs, imitateurs, continuateurs, adaptateurs à l’usage de la jeunesse, illustrateurs,
metteurs en scène. Tout un chacun, dans la société française, se sent capable de prendre la parole,
un jour, sur Rabelais. Car plus qu’un homme de lettres, plus qu’un auteur de la Renaissance,
l’homme, par son œuvre, est devenu une sorte de figure portée au rang de mythe français, comme
l’atteste le gigantisme de cette bibliographie. Le présent volume passant d’abord en revue les édi-
tions et les traductions, fort nombreuses du XVIe siècle à nos jours, a essayé de rendre compte du
foisonnement et de l’hétérogénéité des écrits consacrés à Rabelais, en France comme ailleurs...

This volume contains essays on various aspects of multilingualism in medieval France, Italy, Eng-
land, and the Low Countries. The fifteen contributions discuss the use of the different vernaculars
and Latin in both literary and non-literary contexts, showing how cultural and social factors de-
termined the choice of language for a particular purpose or type of text. The role of French in non-
French contexts is a major theme of these essays: in the British Isles after the Norman Conquest, in
Italy as a response to the need for mainly secular types of literature which did not exist in Italian,
and in the Low Countries by virtue of geographic contiguity and change of rulers. Special atten-
tion is paid in the French context to the use of French and Occitan in areas of the South. Some
essays examine specific cases or text-corpora, while others examine questions of multilingualism
from more theoretical, linguistic, and rhetorical points of view. Together, they form an invaluable
introduction to the topic of medieval multilingualism, illustrated by meticulously executed case-

studies, which future work in the area will have to take into account.

des apparitions fulgurantes. Il y a aussi des lignées sanctifiées comme celle des gardiens du Graal,
ou damnées comme la descendance de Modred. C’est pourquoi les structures de parenté forment
un cadre privilégié pour la prédestination et l’évolution des personnages. Parfois elles fonction-
nent selon de pratiques réelles. Dans certains cas, elles les influencent, ou bien elles s’en écartent
entièrement.

parenté ? Enfin, l’héraldique occupe une place centrale dans l’imaginaire arthurien. Les armoiries,
généralement signes d’appartenance à une parentèle, acquièrent des significations multiples et su-
bissent des distorsions. Elles ont une valeur symbolique, marquant des étapes dans le devenir d’un
personnage. Leur rôle politique de propagande n’est pas non plus négligeable. L’héraldique sert à
la fois de marqueur d’identité ou de masque : elle rattache l’individu à son lignage ou souligne, au
contraire, sa spécificité. Les textes, leur contexte ou l’iconographie, pris séparément ou mis en vis-à-
vis, peuvent répondre à toutes ces questions, voire en susciter d’autres.

The Antwerp-London Glossaries are eleventh-century descendents of the earliest school text in the
English language. In their earliest form they played a central role at the seventh-century school of
Canterbury; they contributed material to the fundamental texts, dated to the 600s, known as the
Leiden Glossary and the Épinal-Erfurt glossary.
A varied collection with five distinguishable parts, the glossaries have at their heart a late Latin
encyclopedia, the Etymologies of Isidore of Seville. The longest glossary lists thousands of Isidorian
headwords and gives definitions in Old English. A second long glossary with two alphabetical
components has some material that is even older. In addition, two small lists share some material
with these longer texts.

Constitué en 1962 et complété en 1985, le fonds Marcel Proust est l’un des fleurons du départe-
ment des Manuscrits de la Bibliothèque nationale de France, et l’un des plus riches et complets de
manuscrits littéraires jamais réuni. Les Cahiers 1 à 75 – près de huit mille pages – en constituent
la pièce maîtresse.
Comprenant des versions anciennes de la leçon des « côtés » de Combray, de la théorie proustienne
de l’impression, des jeunes filles, de Swann, des chambres, ainsi que la trace d’épisodes abandon-
nés, le Cahier 26 appartient à une étape génétique fondatrice: celle où l’essai initialement prévu
sur Sainte-Beuve se transforme en un roman que Proust annonce en 1909 sous le titre Contre
Sainte-Beuve, souvenirs d’une matinée. Il relève d’une période où toutes les possibilités romanesques
sont encore ouvertes.

The seventh edition of the International Colloquium of Greek Palaeography celebrated the 300th
anniversary of the Palaeographia graeca, the pioneer work of the Benedictine Bernard de Montfau-
con that established the fundamentals of the discipline. Papers by renowned specialists in the field
contributed to the methodology of study and to our knowledge of Greek manuscripts, and opened
new perspectives for the study of the Greek manuscripts preserved mostly in European libraries,
taking into account new methodological approaches, the possibilities of online resources, and the
results of ongoing research projects.

The Proceedings published here include contributions by specialists from over ten different coun- Essays in Medieval Studies
tries, dealing with palaeographical issues such as ancient capital and lower-case lettering, writing « Collection 2011 »
and books in the Comnenian period, and Greek scribes and ateliers in the Renaissance (especially
in manuscripts from the Iberian Peninsula). Many contributors also take a codicological approach
and consider the material aspects of the codex, as well as other new research techniques. Finally,
some papers deal with the book as object and how this relates to its content, as well as with the
history of texts.
The International Colloquia of Greek Palaeography are organized by the International Committee

Despite the fact that David Teniers the Younger has always been considered one of the most
important and prolific Flemish painters of the seventeenth-century, no critical biography of the
artist exists which draws on the comprehensive documentary evidence of his life and work. Hans
Vlieghe’s monograph aims to fill this gap. Based on the corpus of all known documentary sources
as well as some newly discovered ones, this book traces the path of Teniers’s success and provides
a detailed survey of his relations with his patrons and clientele, while also illuminating his studio
practice and associations with fellow artists in Antwerp and Brussels. The author in addition ex-
amines Teniers’s manifold activities against the background of his ever-changing social and familial
context. The resulting analysis draws a picture of a painter who came from the artistic milieu of
Antwerp, yet deliberately made different choices from those of his father, from whom the young
Teniers received his initial training. In order to meet changing tastes and satisfy the demands of the
market, and following the example of Adriaen Brouwer, Teniers quickly acquired a reputation as a
painter of low-life genre scenes. Vlieghe goes on to clarify how Teniers rose to become court paint-
er to the Habsburg governors in Brussels, and the means used by the artist to achieve greater social
recognition, which included extensive self-representation and considerable conspicuous consump-
tion. Teniers’s later years were marred by difficulties, brought on by his diminishing success as an
artist and by financial difficulties with his children. Vlieghe shows how these circumstances led to
Teniers dying in rather deplorable circumstances.
Hans Vlieghe is emeritus professor art history at the University of Leuven. He is a member
of the editorial board of Corpus Rubenianum and author of several books on Flemish art.
ART HISTORY

This is the first comprehensive and in-depth study of the earliest figural painting ever to have
been produced in Flanders on a continual basis. Most of the manuscripts are Psalters, but Bibles,
a Breviary, a Missal, a Netherlandic life of a saint, and yet other texts occur. Three main categories
of illuminator are distinguishable: those working in Bruges, in Ghent, and, at least in part, for
the circle of the counts of Flanders. The principal chapters and the catalog segments are organized
around their individual contributions. An arrangement in time and place of the total body of work
was obtained through a lengthy and rigorous process of comparison of figural, ornamental and
writing styles, codicological and textual features. Several distinctive Flemish patterns of Psalter
iconography have emerged; these are presented in tabular form with accompanying commentar-
ies. A surprising amount of information about the early owners of the books, mostly well-to-do
members of the laity, was yielded in the analysis for the manuscript catalogs.

This book brings together essays about painting in Venice during three centuries of remarkable
artistic production, influence, and exchange. The chronological scope of the anthology reflects
the crucial interrelationship between the life of the arts and the republic, but also indicates the
longevity of the distinctive, but not in the least isolated, mode of making and looking that engaged
painters and viewers both inside and outside of Venice. The focused themes that emerge in the
essays—the artist’s self-perception, the role of innovation and tradition in formal and material
aspects of pictorial composition, the artistic exchange between Venice and other cities, both east
and west, and the unique political and social pressures on artistic production and reception—re-
flect the Venetian engagement with many of the central concerns that preoccupied early modern
artists. The dialogue established between Venetian art and society underpins all of the essays in the
anthology; however, their critical focus remains on the formal, stylistic, and structural aspects of
the pictures and how these visual mechanisms express meaning and shape viewer response.
The cathedral or Duomo of S. Maria del Fiore in Florence ranks as one of the most influential
buildings of western architecture. We are well informed about the predecessor structures for each
key building except—until recently—the Florence Duomo. A basilica dedicated to St. Reparata
supposedly lay in ruins below S. Maria del Fiore, and the adjoining Baptistery was allegedly re-
worked from a Roman temple to Mars, but without archaeological excavations or a detailed study
of literary sources, little sense could be made of those traditions. That uncertainty changed with
the Florence Duomo excavations of 1965-1980 and the ensuing analysis of its structures, artifacts,
and surviving texts.The Florence Duomo Project is a study of everything that preceded, and still
lies beneath, S. Maria del Fiore and its Baptistery. These four volumes interweave church liturgy,
field archaeology, art history, and social and political history to give the Florence Duomo (and, in
some cases, early medieval Florence itself ) the context that until now it lacked. The second vol-
ume, Archaeological Campaigns below the Florence Duomo and Baptistery, 1895-1980, gives order
to the virtual encyclopedia of medieval art and architecture found below both buildings: mosaics,
frescoes, tomb sculptures, armor, ceramics, the extensive layouts of a Roman house and an Early
Christian basilica and its Carolingian and Romanesque rebuildings.

Pendant plusieurs siècles qui vont de l’édification des grandes cathédrales gothiques à la fin du
règne d’Henri IV, la Picardie fut le berceau d’une production musicale fascinante. En témoignent
des sources musicales incontournables (le graduel 239 de Laon), la lyrique profane des trouvères
picards, les organa de l’Ars vetus ou la polyphonie de la Renaissance. Trois siècles durant, des géné-
rations de chantres formés dans des maîtrises picardes allaient devenir des interprètes recherchés et
des compositeurs adulés. Ils envahissent les plus prestigieuses institutions musicales européennes,
constituant une nation éclatée de musiciens que l’histoire dira « franco-flamands ». Cet ouvrage
tente de tracer les conditions de l’émergence de ces générations, en parcourant un vaste territoire
aux frontières fluctuantes, en scrutant les rares sources conservées, en visitant les lieux de formation
et de pratique, en suivant des destins pour les uns banals, pour les autres brillants.
Pour accompagner cette exploration, l’ensemble Odhecaton dirigé par Paolo Da Col propose un
enregistrement d’œuvres représentatives des XVe et XVIe siècles, signées de maîtres illustres de la
polyphonie de la Renaissance, originaires ou actifs en Picardie.

In an article published in 1979, Ludwig Finscher defined imitation and text treatment as the
main parameters of the stylistic shift he detected in motet composition around 1500, and Josquin
Desprez as the composer whose works embodied them most clearly. This volume of twenty-five
essays by leading Renaissance musicologists – based on a conference which took place in Bangor
(Wales) in 2007 – takes stock of developments in motet research in the intervening three decades.
It does focus considerable attention on text treatment and compositional technique (texture and
cantus firmus manipulation as much as imitation in the strict sense), but also on questions such as
regional repertoires (such as Bohemia and Spain), manuscripts (such as the ’Medici Codex’), and
semantic aspects (devotion, symbolism etc.). Josquin’s oeuvre, while still the focus of several es-
says, is contextualized through studies on composers as diverse as Regis, Busnoys, Obrecht, Févin,
Moulu, Gascongne, Gaffurio, Martini, and Senfl. Although there are still many questions to be
answered about the motet around 1500 – a period which, according to Joshua Rifkin, is like a
’black hole’ for the genre given the lack of extant works, ascriptions, and stylistic consistency – the
volume is an important step forward in exploring and understanding this crucial repertoire.

Medieval culture is marked by a general acceptance of the mental attitude which both recognized
and accepted the truths of the dominant religion. This situation is, then, the “general paradigm”
that programmatically directs the paths and results of intellectual activity in the Middle Ages.
In the various fields of scientific research, in the different epochs and in the manifold social and
institutional situations, there are also produced — based on the “general paradigm” — many
“particular paradigms”, which carry out some specified and graduated effects of the general one.
The idea pursued during the Congress is an attempt to determine, describe and evaluate the gen-
eral and particular results the “paradigm” had on the maturation of medieval philosophical and
scientific thought with regard to the relationship — that was a dynamic and reciprocal one, and
was not necessarily reduced to a theological understanding — between rational inquiry and reli-
gious belief.
This book represents an attempt to distinguish and define what beauty is in metaphysical terms,
to arrive at a better understanding of beauty as a transcendental property of being, and to establish
beauty’s place in philosophy alongside truth and the good through an exploration of whether there
can truly be a philosophy of beauty, or whether beauty is merely a type of aesthetic.
The first part of this work outlines the history of philosophical thought on the subject, through
an introduction to three great theories of beauty – harmony, form, and relationism – and a dis-
cussion of the evolution of the fine arts. The second part introduces first the theory of aesthetics,
then the relationship between nature, being, and beauty, and finally the controversy over whether
beauty is natural or a product of human knowledge and experience. The third part moves towards
a philosophy of beauty in a first sense: something that is real but immaterial, something that can
be understood but not seen. This idea is constructed through an examination of beauty’s relation
to beings and existence, and finally through a juxtaposition of beauty with ugliness. The examina-
tion of beauty presented here makes a good argument in favour of a continued study of the topic.

This is the first published summary of the entire complex of the great necropoles of Rome, which
were situated on Vatican Hill.
The work concerns one of the most extensive, richest, and least-known Roman archaeologi-
cal phenomena and bears witness to the work of creating an underground museum that has
been followed internationally as a model of conservation practice. From the submerged world of
the necropoles emerges the funeral ‘normality’ of the Roman world, from poorer cremations in
wooden urns, to sumptuous sarcophagi, to sepulchres adorned with frescoes and mosaics. One
can also observe Egyptian cults influencing the practice of epicurean philosophy. In addition, we
can catch a glimpse of the first traces of Christianity, which include the presence of St. Peter the
Apostle’s tomb.
This twelfth volume of the Corpus Fontium Manichaeorum brings together a large number of
excerpts in Greek and Latin from both Manichaean and anti-Manichaean sources on the sect’s
central teaching on cosmogony and ethics. The texts have been translated by a seasoned team of
classical scholars who have endeavoured to produce a translation which is both accurate and flu-
ent. The volume contains excerpts from key Manichaean texts found in Egypt and other parts of
the Roman Empire as well as from the writings of Church Fathers like Serapion of Thmuis, Titus
of Bostra, Epiphanius, Cyril of Jerusalem and, above all, Augustine of Hippo. Excerpted also are
relevant sections of pagan anti-Manichaean sources such as Alexander of Lycopolis and Simplicius.
The texts and translation are accompanied by a commentary and by detailed word indices. This
volume will prove essential to all scholars of Manichaeism and of the Study of Religions.

The essays in this book tap the potential of the historical analysis of social contexts in which prop-
erty rights are embedded – social relations, power and agency, political institutions, culture – to
understand how landed resources are actually appropriated. This exploratory approach seeks both
to take advantage of the existing theory of property rights, as it is applied by the institutionalist
outlook on economic history, and to go beyond it by explicitly incorporating social processes and
factors in the analysis of property institutions. With this common aim in mind, the book covers a
wide variety of historical cases throughout space and time, from the late Middle Ages in the Czech
lands and in Tuscany to the very recent de-collectivisation of the countryside in former socialist
countries, which will contribute rich and grounded insights to the discussion of the topic and of
its implications.
