Abstract

Van de vierde tot de zestiende eeuw werden duizenden Latijnse hymnen en sequensen gecomponeerd, liederen die tot aan het Concilie van Trente (1545-1563) in de liturgie werden gezongen. Tijdens de middeleeuwen werden die gezangen telkens opnieuw naar de volkstaal overgezet, ook in onze streken. Van die Middelnederlandse vertalingen, tot voor kort nauwelijks bestudeerd, biedt Al aertrijc segt lofsanc een overzicht en een diepgaande studie. Al aertrijc segt lofsanc bestaat uit twee boekdelen, waarbij het ene de analyse bevat en het andere onder meer de repertoria herbergt van de vertalingen en van hun dragers, veelal devotiehandschriften. Het centrale deel, over de Middelnederlandse overzettingen, wordt voorafgegaan door een overzicht van alle facetten van de Latijnse hymnen en sequensen zelf en door een samenvatting van wat bekend is over de Duitse en Engelse vertalingen uit de middeleeuwen. In ‘het Middelnederlandse deel’ is in de eerste plaats getracht te reconstrueren waar en wanneer men in ons taalgebied begonnen is met het vertalen van die liederen. Het basismateriaal daarvoor bestaat uit een paar duizend vertalingen van ongeveer 250 hymnen en 150 sequensen uit alles samen meer dan 150 handschriften. Duidelijk is geworden dat die oorsprong binnen de Moderne Devotie ligt, die hervormingsbeweging met een grote invloed op de laatmiddeleeuwse spiritualiteit. Daarna volgt een overzicht van de vertaaltradities in zowel het noorden van de Nederlanden als het zuiden. Simultaan worden een aantal nieuwe typen van Middelnederlandse devotieboeken onderschei-den en geanalyseerd. De studie sluit af met een recapitulatie van de resultaten in het licht van de laatmiddeleeuwse vrouwenspiritualiteit. Hymnen- en sequensenvertalingen blijken im-mers vooral door vrome vrouwen te zijn gelezen.

Abstract

"The Archimedes Palimpsest is the name given to a Byzantine prayer-book which was written over a number of earlier manuscripts, including two unique examples containing works by Archimedes, unquestionably the greatest mathematician of antiquity. Sold at auction in 1998, it has since been the subject of a privately funded project to conserve, image, and transcribe its texts. In this volume the scientists, conservators, classicists, and historians involved in the project discuss in full their techniques and their discoveries. These include new speeches by the classical Athenian orator Hyperides, a lost commentary on Aristotle's Categories from the second or third century AD, and substantial re-readings and reinterpretations of the works by Archimedes. The book discusses the pioneering imaging and post-processing techniques used to reveal the texts, and includes detailed codicological descriptions of all eight manuscripts comprising the Palimpsest. It will be of interest to manuscript scholars, classicists, and historians of science"--Provided by publisher.

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.
