Abstract

Long before computer games were invented, Hiëronymus Bosch was painting terrifying, yet strangely likable, monsters, often with a touch of humour. His works are assertive statements about the mental dangers that befalls those who abandon the teachings of Christ. With a life that spanned 1450 to 1516, Bosch was born at the height of the Renaissance and witnessed its religious wars. Medieval traditions and values were crumbling, paving the way for a new universe where faith had lost its power and much of its magic.Bosch set out to warn doubters of the perils awaiting all and any who lost their f

Abstract

Jérôme Bosch (1450-1516) est issu d'une famille modeste venue s'installer aux Pays-Bas deux siècles plus tôt. Son grand-père Jan van Aken et son père Anthonis van Aken ont aussi exercé le métier de peintre. Épousant en 1480 une fille de riche aristocrate, il est accueilli comme « membre notable » par la confrérie Notre-Dame, association religieuse consacrée au culte de la Vierge, dont il devient naturellement le peintre attitré. C'est dans ses lectures et dans l'atmosphère d'hérésie et de mysticisme régnant alors, que Bosch puise une inspiration nouvelle qui lui fait délaisser l'iconographie t

Abstract

Mucho antes de que se inventaran los videojuegos, Hiëronymus Bosch, El Bosco, ya pintaba monstruos terroríficos aunque extrañamente simpáticos, a menudo dotados de un toque de humor. Sus obras son enérgicos ejemplos de los peligros psicológicos que se ciñen sobre aquellos que abandonan las enseñanzas de Cristo. Con una trayectoria vital que se extiende de 1450 a 1516, El Bosco nació en pleno Renacimiento y fue testigo de sus guerras religiosas y del desmoronamiento de los valores y las tradiciones medievales, que preparaba el terreno para el nacimiento de un nuevo orden universal en el que la

Abstract

St Jerome (ca. 347-419), translator and prolific commentator on the Old Testament, left a lasting and controversial mark on the history of biblical scholarship through his radical return to the hebraica veritas , the 'Hebrew truth.' Yet, the extent of Jerome’s Hebrew knowledge has been debated, and the actual role of Hebrew in Jerome’s biblical exegesis has been little explored. This book shows how Jerome’s Hebrew philology developed out of his training in classical literary studies, describes the nature of Jerome’s command of Hebrew in light of his historical context and his use of Jewish sources, and explains how Jerome used Hebrew scholarship in his biblical interpretation. Jerome emerges as a competent Hebraist, limited by his context, yet producing work of enduring significance.

Abstract

In the West, monastic ideals and scholastic pursuits are complementary; monks are popularly imagined copying classics, preserving learning through the Middle Ages, and establishing the first universities. But this dual identity is not without its contradictions. While monasticism emphasizes the virtues of poverty, chastity, and humility, the scholar, by contrast, requires expensive infrastructure-a library, a workplace, and the means of disseminating his work. In The Monk and the Book, Megan Hale Williams argues that Saint Jerome was the first to represent biblical study as a mode of asceticism appropriate for an inhabitant of a Christian monastery, thus pioneering the enduring linkage of monastic identities and institutions with scholarship. Revisiting Jerome with the analytical tools of recent cultural history-including the work of Bourdieu, Foucault, and Roger Chartier-Williams proposes new interpretations that remove obstacles to understanding the life and legacy of the saint. Examining issues such as the construction of Jerome's literary persona, the form and contents of his library, and the intellectual framework of his commentaries, Williams shows that Jerome's textual and exegetical work on the Hebrew scriptures helped to construct a new culture of learning. This fusion of the identities of scholar and monk, Williams shows, continues to reverberate in the culture of the modern university. "[Williams] has written a fascinating study, which provides a series of striking insights into the career of one of the most colorful and influential figures in Christian antiquity. Jerome's Latin Bible would become the foundational text for the intellectual development of the West, providing words for the deepest aspirations and most intensely held convictions of an entire civilization. Williams's book does much to illumine the circumstances in which that fundamental text was produced, and reminds us that great ideas, like great people, have particular origins, and their own complex settings."-Eamon Duffy, New York Review of Books
