Abstract

During his lifetime the historian and antiquarian Biondo Flavio (1392-1463) struggled to obtain recognition as a major contributor to the humanistic movement of the fifteenth century. Throughout the Renaissance, fellow Italian scholars far too often condemned rather than endorsed his scholarly works. His troublesome career and mixed reputation among his peers stand in stark contrast with the highly innovative character of his learning, which proved to be ground-breaking for the further development of various strands of historical and antiquarian research in the Early Modern Age. The authors of this volume aim to contribute to a reappraisal of this pioneering humanist scholar by a fresh assessment of his major writings in the fields of historical linguistics, historiography, Roman topography, and historical geography.

Abstract

From c. 1100 until c. 1170, Latin prosimetrical texts characterized by dialogue, allegory, and philosophical speculation enjoyed a notable popularity within the cultural ambit of the French cathedral schools. Inspired by Boethius’ Consolation of Philosophy , the prosimetrum writers applied his literary techniques to the ethical and anthropological concerns of their own era, producing texts of great artistry in the process. This book investigates the rise of the Boethian impulse in Latin, the innovations of the twelfth-century writers, the difficulties that arose when they attempted to recapture the certainty that characterized the Consolation , and the survival of aspects of this literary mode in later Latin and vernacular literature.

Abstract

In the concluding stages of the eleventh-century Eucharistic Controversy, which turned on whether, and how, sacramental consecration changed the nature of bread and wine at the altar, Alberic of Monte Cassino composed a small but important treatise. Alberic was the most renowned teacher of rhetoric in his time, and his treatise, buttressed by appeal to the authority of the Church Fathers, was said by contemporaries to have "utterly destroyed" the argument of his opponent, Berengar of Tours, that the bread and wine survived its consecration. Modern scholars had long believed Alberic's treatise to be lost. This book demonstrates that this crucial document, far from being lost, is an existing identifiable text. By showing conclusively that this work was written by Alberic, Radding and Newton transform our understanding not only of the particulars of the controversy and papal politics but also of the intellectual process by which theological doctrines took shape in mediaeval Church councils. The book includes the full Latin text and the first translation of Alberic's treatise.

Abstract

Le roi Ptolémée, fondateur de la bibliothèque d'Alexandrie, fit aussi dresser l'inventaire de toute la littérature grecque connue de son temps. Il est ainsi à l'origine d'une longue série de "bibliothèques virtuelles", dans laquelle s'inscrit le présent travail. Les chercheurs s'efforcent, aujourd'hui plus que jamais, de décrire les manuscrits que nous ont légués le Moyen Âge et la Renaissance. La mise en valeur de ce patrimoine entraîne une floraison de livres, d'articles, de brochures, de catalogues d'exposition que seule une bibliographie peut tenter de rassembler. Ce nouveau guide, qui recense plus de 1500 titres (on n'en avait rassemblé que 900 pour le précédent "septennat"), invite à d'utiles voyages imaginaires à travers les collections de manuscrits, depuis Aachen (Allemagne) jusqu'à Zwolle (Pays-Bas), en passant par Paris, Cape Town et Mexico. Il permet aussi de suivre le destin de collections médiévales qui se sont, au fil des siècles, dispersées dans l'Ancien et le Nouveau monde.

Abstract

Le livre médiéval connaît, dans le grand public, un regain de faveur dont témoignent films, fac-similés et ventes aux enchères. Même si leurs activités sont moins spectaculaires, les chercheurs travaillent de plus en plus sur les manuscrits légués par le Moyen Âge. Leur première tâche consiste à en dresser un inventaire exact : d’où une floraison de catalogues, que publient aussi bien des presses prestigieuses que de modestes bulletins diocésains. Ce guide, qui recense quelque 900 titres, permet des voyages imaginaires dans les collections de manuscrits, d’Aalborg (Danemark) jusqu’à Zutphen (Pays-Bas), en passant par Berlin, Londres et Venise. Il donnera aussi l’occasion aux amateurs de livres de suivre des pistes qui conduisent de l’Italie de la Renaissance aux grandes collections américaines d’aujourd’hui.
