Abstract

Western Europeans were among the first, if not the first, to invent mechanical clocks, geometrically precise maps, double-entry bookkeeping, precise algebraic and musical notations, and perspective painting. By the sixteenth century more people were thinking quantitatively in western Europe than in any other part of the world. The Measure of Reality, first published in 1997, discusses the epochal shift from qualitative to quantitative perception in Western Europe during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. This shift made modern science, technology, business practice and bureaucracy possible.

Abstract

The ambition of this Companion to Twelfth-Century Schools is to provide an update on the research regarding a question that has seen many renewals in the last three decades. The discovery of new texts, the progress made in critical attribution, the growing attention given to the conditions surrounding the oral and written dissemination of works, the use of the notion of "community of learning", the reinterpretation of the relations between the cloister and the urban school, the link between institutional history and social history, in short, the entire contemporary renewal of cultural history within international medieval studies allow to offer a new synthesis on the schools of the 12th century. Contributors are: Alexander Andrée, Irene Caiazzo, Cédric Giraud, Frédéric Goubier, Danielle Jacquart, Thierry Kouamé, Constant J. Mews, Ken Pennington, Dominique Poirel, Irène Rosier-Catach, Sita Steckel, Jacques Verger, and Olga Weijers

Abstract

Death is not only the final moment of life, it also casts a huge shadow on human society at large. People throughout time have had to cope with death as an existential experience, and this also, of course, in the premodern world. The contributors to the present volume examine the material and spiritual conditions of the culture of death, studying specific buildings and spaces, literary works and art objects, theatrical performances, and medical tracts from the early Middle Ages to the late eighteenth century. Death has always evoked fear, terror, and awe, it has puzzled and troubled people, forcing theologians and philosophers to respond and provide answers for questions that seem to evade real explanations. The more we learn about the culture of death, the more we can comprehend the culture of life. As this volume demonstrates, the approaches to death varied widely, also in the Middle Ages and the early modern age. This volume hence adds a significant number of new facets to the critical examination of this ever-present phenomenon of death, exploring poetic responses to the Black Death, types of execution of a female murderess, death as the springboard for major political changes, and death reflected in morality plays and art.

Abstract

Earlier theses on the history of childhood can now be laid to rest and a fundamental paradigm shift initiated, as there is an overwhelming body of evidence to show that in medieval and early modern times too there were close emotional relations between parents and children. The contributors to this volume demonstrate conclusively on the one hand how intensively parents concerned themselves with their children in the pre-modern era, and on the other which social, political and religious conditions shaped these relationships. These studies in emotional history demonstrate how easy it is for a subjective choice of sources, coupled with faulty interpretations - caused mainly by modern prejudices toward the Middle Ages in particular - to lead to the view that in the past children were regarded as small adults. The contributors demonstrate convincingly that intense feelings - admittedly often different in nature - shaped the relationship between adults and children. Frühere Thesen zur Kindheitsgeschichte können mittlerweile zu den Akten gelegt werden, denn die Masse der Beweise dafür, dass auch im Mittelalter und in der Frühneuzeit enge emotionale Beziehungen zwischen Eltern und Kindern bestanden, erweist sich als erdrückend und ermöglicht einen fundamentalen Paradigmenwechsel. Die Beiträger zu diesem Band weisen einerseits zwingend nach, wie intensiv Eltern in der Vormoderne sich um ihre Kinder gekümmert haben, andererseits führen sie auch vor Augen, welche sozialen, politischen und religiösen Bedingungen diese Beziehungen gestalteten. Diese emotionsgeschichtlichen Untersuchungen demonstrieren, wie leicht eine subjektive Quellenauswahl und Fehlinterpretationen, meist bedingt durch moderne Vorurteile besonders gegen das Mittelalter, zu der Meinung führen können, dass Kinder in der Vergangenheit als kleine Erwachsene angesehen wurden. Die Beiträger weisen überzeugend nach, dass intensive, wenngleich oftmals anders gelagerte Gefühle das Verhältnis zwischen Erwachsenen und Kindern prägten.

Abstract

Miracles, prodiges et manifestations surnaturelles ou délirantes émaillent les conflits humains depuis la nuit des temps, et les chroniques ne manquent jamais de les rapporter. Dans les sociétés anciennes, les phénomènes que l’on qualifierait aujourd’hui d’irrationnels font partie du quotidien de la guerre. Avant une bataille, on scrute avidement les signes célestes, on consulte oracles et astrologues, on prie pour son salut. Tel Napoléon, les grands capitaines qui vont au combat se sentent protégés par leur « bonne étoile ». Chercher à se concilier les forces mystérieuses qui gouvernent nos destinées relève autant de la foi que d’une certaine forme de raison. Mais les conflits génèrent aussi des comportements totalement aberrants et imprévisibles, comme des peurs paniques, des visions, des cauchemars, des psychoses ou encore l’ivresse inétanchable du sang. Aujourd’hui, dans notre appréciation de la guerre, ces questions tendent à être occultées ou considérées comme anecdotiques. À tort. On éprouve cependant le plus grand mal à analyser de manière rationnelle ce qui par définition échappe à la raison ou la transcende. Pour mener à bien cette enquête, les auteurs du présent ouvrage se sont intéressés à toutes les formes d’irrationnel qui se manifestent en période de guerre, des signes surnaturels aux pathologies mentales.

Abstract

Mary Carruthers's classic study of the training and uses of memory for a variety of purposes in European cultures during the Middle Ages has fundamentally changed the way scholars understand medieval culture. This fully revised and updated second edition considers afresh all the material and conclusions of the first. While responding to new directions in research inspired by the original, this new edition devotes much more attention to the role of trained memory in composition, whether of literature, music, architecture, or manuscript books. The new edition will reignite the debate on memory in medieval studies and, like the first, will be essential reading for scholars of history, music, the arts and literature, as well as those interested in issues of orality and literacy (anthropology), in the working and design of memory (both neuropsychology and artificial memory), and in the disciplines of meditation (religion).
