Historien des couleurs et des animaux, spécialiste de l’héraldique et de l’emblématique du Moyen âge, auteur plébiscité par le grand public, Michel Pastoureau partage avec gourmandise son appétit gargantuesque pour les sujets les plus divers. Ce livre rassemble les hommages qu’ont voulu lui rendre quelques-uns de ses amis, de ses collègues et de ses élèves. Chaque auteur de ce livre a choisi une image et la commente brièvement dans un style alerte. Le résultat, c’est un véritable cabinet de curiosités visuelles qui reflète la variété des objets passionnants auxquels s’est intéressé Michel Pastoureau (armoiries, emblèmes, enluminures, sceaux, couleurs, et d’autres plus surprenants encore !). Ce livre kaléidoscope propose ainsi au fil de ses 86 images un portrait composite de Michel Pastoureau, fidèle à la diversité des facettes de son savoir et à sa pratique malicieuse et bienveillante de l'érudition.

This book investigates the 'owner portrait' in the context of late medieval devotional books primarily from France and England. These mirror-like pictures of praying book owners respond to and help develop a growing concern with visibility and self-scrutiny that characterized the religious life of the laity after the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215. The image of the praying book owner translated pre-existing representational strategies concerned with the authority and spiritual efficacy of pictures and books, such as the Holy Face and the donor image, into a more intimate and reflexive mode of address in Psalters and Books of Hours created for lay users. Alexa Sand demonstrates how this transformation had profound implications for devotional practices and for the performance of gender and class identity in the striving, aristocratic world of late medieval France and England.

Ce livre est issu d’un souhait exaucé, celui de grouper tous les médiévistes qui s’intéressent au livre dans la région toulousaine, et ailleurs… Ouvrage à plusieurs mains, il se veut le fruit d’une recherche collective, ne d’une passion partagée pour la période médiévale. La production et la consommation du livre à Toulouse et dans sa région trouvent ici tout naturellement une place centrale : cependant, loin de vouloir borner nos horizons aux terres languedociennes, il nous a semblé essentiel de les confronter avec d’autres champs d’études, d’autres approches. Le livre a toujours été un objet qui circule, porteur d’influences diverses, instrument d’échanges culturels et artistiques. Il est ici présent dans toutes ses dimensions, sa production et sa matérialité, du parchemin à la calligraphie, en passant par l’enluminure qui met en avant sa dimension artistique. Il est aussi le fruit d’une création littéraire, d’une méditation spirituelle. Destiné aux études, il dispense un savoir scientifique. Roman ou poésie courtoise, il laisse l’imagination s’évader. Les auteurs et leurs lecteurs, les modes et les usages de la lecture sont tout autant indispensables à sa compréhension. La possession de cet objet précieux est également un marqueur social ; l’accès au livre, privé ou public, par le biais des bibliothèques, se voit bouleversé par l’apparition des premiers imprimés. Ce sont tous ces aspects qui sont abordés ici au travers de contributions réunies selon trois thématiques.

Sublime calligraphy, marvellous art, and amazing initials, have charmed and captivated the audience of the Book of Kells for over twelve hundred years. This remarkable illuminated Gospel book attracts the attention of scholars as well as those more generally interested in the fabulous artefacts of the past. Everybody knows it was made by an extensive team of scribes and artists. Donncha MacGabhann knew that too. However, he was certain that a thorough examination could clearly identify the various contributions of its creators. His life and work as an artist and teacher inspired the belief that a close visual study could solve some of its enduring puzzles. The deeper he delved, the more he was convinced that Kells is entirely the work of two individuals. This evolved into a novel paradigm through which he came to know and understand the manuscript. Following years of meticulous research, this book tells the story of Kells' two Masters and their collaboration to create a Gospel book of unprecedented magnificence. Most poignantly, it reveals the struggle of the lone survivor of the two-man team to attempt the completion of their magnum opus. The most important outcomes of this book go far beyond the simple attribution of work to different hands. Much more significantly, it affords insights into the imagination which inspired its creators, especially the unique vision of Kells' great Scribe-Artist. Collectively, these new perspectives reveal a previously unknown 'Book of Kells,' one which, as it were, has remained hidden in plain sight. Challenging long-held theories is no small matter, and in doing so this radical study attempts to be comprehensive. The abundance of evidence may at times seem extravagant in its detail, for both specialists and non-specialists. The reader is therefore encouraged to find their own path in exploring 'The Book of Kells - A Masterwork Revealed: Creators, Collaboration, and Campaigns' -- back cover.

Today we usually think of a book of poems as composed by a poet, rather than assembled or adapted by a network of poets and readers. But the earliest European vernacular poetries challenge these assumptions. Medieval songbooks remind us how lyric poetry was once communally produced and received-a collaboration of artists, performers, live audiences, and readers stretching across languages and societies. The only comparative study of its kind, Songbook treats what poetry was before the emergence of the modern category "poetry": that is, how vernacular songbooks of the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries shaped our modern understanding of poetry by establishing expectations of what is a poem, what is a poet, and what is lyric poetry itself. Marisa Galvez analyzes the seminal songbooks representing the vernacular traditions of Occitan, Middle High German, and Castilian, and tracks the process by which the songbook emerged from the original performance contexts of oral publication, into a medium for preservation, and, finally, into an established literary object. Galvez reveals that songbooks-in ways that resonate with our modern practice of curated archives and playlists-contain lyric, music, images, and other nonlyric texts selected and ordered to reflect the local values and preferences of their readers. At a time when medievalists are reassessing the historical foundations of their field and especially the national literary canons established in the nineteenth century, a new examination of the songbook's role in several vernacular traditions is more relevant than ever.

Italian poet, novelist, literary critic and translator Cesare Pavese (1908-1950) is generally recognized as one of the most important writers of his period. Between the years 1929 and 1933, Pavese enjoyed a rich correspondence with his Italian American friend, the musician and educator Antonio Chiuminatto (1904-1973). The nature of this correspondence is primarily related to Pavese's thirst to learn about American culture, its latest books, its most significant contemporary writers, as well as its slang. This volume presents an annotated edition of Pavese and Chiminatto's complete epistolary exchange.Mark Pietralunga's brilliant introduction provides historical and cultural context for the letters and traces Pavese's early development as a leading Americanist and translator. The volume also includes an appendix of Chiuminatto's detailed annotations and thorough explanations of colloquial American terms and slang, drawn from the works of Sinclair Lewis, Sherwood Anderson, and William Faulkner. A lively and illuminating exchange, this collection ultimately corroborates critical opinion that America was the igniting spark of Pavese's literary beginnings as a writer and translator.
