Abstract

Oxford Studies in Medieval Literature and Culture showcases the plurilingual and multicultural quality of medieval literature and promotes work that not only focuses on the whole array of subjects medievalists now pursue-in literature, theology, philosophy, social, political, jurisprudential, and intellectual history, the history of art, and the history of science-but also work that combines these subjects productively. It offers innovative and interdisciplinary studies of every kind, including but not limited to manuscript and book history, linguistics and literature, post-colonial and global studies, the digital humanities and media studies, performance studies, the history of affect and the emotion, the theory and history of sexuality, ecocriticism and environmental studies, theories of the lyric, of aesthetics, of the practices of devotion, and ideas of medievalism.The field of medieval francophone literary culture outside France was for many years a minor and peripheral sub-field of medieval French literary studies (or, in the case of Anglo-Norman, of English studies). The past two decades, however, have seen a major reassessment of the use of French in England, in the Low Countries, in Italy, and in the eastern Mediterranean, and this impacts significantly upon the history of literature in French more generally. This book is the first to look at the question overall, rather than just at one region. It also takes a more sustained theorised approach than other studies, drawing particularly on Derrida and on Actor-Network Theory. It discusses a wide range of texts, some of which have hitherto been regarded as marginal to French literary history, and makes the case for this material being more central to the literary history of French than was allowed in more traditional approaches focused narrowly on 'France'. Many of the arguments in Medieval French Literary Culture Abroad are grounded in readings of texts in manuscript (rather than in modern critical editions), and sustained attention is paid throughout to manuscripts that were produced or travelled outside the kingdom of France.

Abstract

This collection forges new ground in the discussion of aristocratic and royal women, their relationships with their objects, and medieval geography. It explores how women’s geographic and familial networks spread well beyond the borders that defined men’s sense of region and how the movement of their belongings can reveal essential information about how women navigated these often-disparate spaces. Beginning in early medieval Scandinavia, ranging from Byzantium to Rus', and multiple lands in Western Europe up to 1500, the essays span a great spatio-temporal range. Moreover, the types of objects extend from traditionally studied works like manuscripts and sculpture to liturgical and secular ceremonial instruments, icons, and articles of personal adornment, such as textiles and jewelry, even including shoes.

Abstract

Au croisement de l'histoire de l'art, du droit et de la cartographie, cet ouvrage propose d'observer le développement des usages de la carte locale et du plan au cours des derniers siècles du Moyen Age et d'en analyser les causes. L'étude s'appuie sur une centaine de cas de figuration de territoires, de lieux ou d'édifices à partir d'observations et de relevés effectués entre les années 1320 et 1514 par des peintres ou des agents députés par l'autorité en Provence, dans le Dauphiné et dans la cité pontificale d'Avignon. Le dossier formé par ce corpus iconographique et textuel permet de repenser la définition de la pratique picturale de la vue à l'époque de sa gestation et de son premier essor dans la peinture comme dans la cartographie. Par le prisme de la vue figurée, l'ouvrage propose aussi d'interroger les transformations qui furent provoquées par l'accroissement de la place de l'image dans les sociétés de la fin du Moyen Age, notamment dans la conduite à distance du pouvoir. L'avènement de nouvelles pratiques de la vue doit en effet être relié à celui de l'enquête qui lui est contemporain. Ils traduisent ensemble un changement de hiérarchie dans les sources légitimes, ou non, de la connaissance et de l'information territoriale qui caractérise certaines des conceptions de la justice et du bon gouvernement des XIVe-XVe siècles.

Abstract

Devotional compilations were the staple spiritual food for lay and religious readers in the late medieval period. As well thought-out assemblages of texts or extracts of texts, they provided readers with material from basic catechetic instruction to advice and tools for the practice of contemplation. Their exploration enables a more sophisticated understanding of the authorial roles played by compilers, the reading practices of their recipients, and the patronage of compilations carried out by religious and secular individuals and communities. It also offers a new window into late medieval English religiosity as well as demonstrating the complexity and creativity associated with compiling activity. In this volume, leading scholars in the field of medieval English literature consider the role and impact of a substantial number of devotional compilations, offering new evidence about the manuscripts, sources, and contexts that frame this important corpus.

Abstract

The outstanding Burke Collection of Italian miniatures, which is housed in Special Collections in the the Stanford University Libraries, has been built over more than twenty years and includes manuscript leaves, cuttings, and codices by many of the greatest Italian artists of the medieval and Renaissance periods. Works in the collection range in date from the 12th through the 16th centuries, and in them we see masterfully painted initials, borders, and miniatures that enhance our appreciation of the great skill that John Ruskin called “writing made beautiful.” Comprised of over 40 miniatures from 35 different artists representing 13 different regions of Italy, the collection is characterized by its astonishingly high quality. It includes works produced by the most renowned Italian illuminators, who are often also documented as painters. Artists from Florence and Siena are certainly the best represented in the Burke collection. These include masterpieces by Don Simone Camaldolese and Lorenzo Monaco of Florence, and Giovanni di Paolo and Pellegrino di Mariano of Siena. The collection equally underlines the range of styles achieved by Italian illuminators active in Emilia-Romana, where great interpreters of Giotto were active, such as Neri da Rimini, Tommaso da Modena, and Nicolò di Giacomo, as well as masterpieces of the Venetian school, such as works by Cristoforo Cortese and the Master of the Murano Gradual. Lombardy is represented by one of the notable specialists of late Gothic painting, the Olivetan Master. Among the many highlights, there is the incomparable and world-class Crucifixion of the Master of Saint Francis of Assisi. Edited by Sandra Hindman (Professor Emerita of Art History at Northwestern University and Owner of Les Enluminures) and Federica Toniolo (Professor History of Illuminated Manuscripts and Medieval Art, University of Padova), with an introduction by Christopher de Hamel, this catalogue presents essays written by an international team of authors from England, Italy, Switzerland and the United States, each a specialist in their fields.

Abstract

Contrairement aux scribes "de bibliothèque", les scribes "d'archives" - l'étiquette désigne ici de façon ouverte tous les acteurs de la pratique scripturaire dans le champ foisonnant des sources documentaires - sont très souvent les auteurs intellectuels des textes qu'ils tracent sur le parchemin ou le papier. Pour beaucoup d'entre eux, l'acte quotidien d'écrire n'est donc pas une fin en soi, ni même forcément un aspect prédominant du labeur ; ils exercent une ou plusieurs fonction(s) qui dépasse(nt) parfois très largement le cadre de cette activité technique. La palette de leurs profils socioprofessionnels présente une infinie variété, marquée par d'énormes écarts de statut et de prestige que le seul maniement commun de l'écriture ne saurait gommer. Qui étaient-ils vraiment ? Même si les médiévistes à l'oeuvre dans les archives les côtoient intimement à travers leurs productions écrites, bien peu de recherches leur ont été dédiées : l'historiographie se contente trop souvent d'images d'Épinal qui masquent la complexité et la diversité des situations de terrain. Certes, la plupart des scribes se dérobent à l'historien, frappés d'anonymat. D'autres, cependant, se laissent saisir à la faveur d'une carrière saillante ou d'un dossier loquace : en reconstituant leurs parcours, ce volume collectif vise à jeter les fondements d'une histoire sociale des "scribes d'archives" dans l'Occident latin du second Moyen Âge.
