"Marthe, Marthe, tu te soucies et t'agites pour beaucoup de choses; pourtant il en faut peu, une seule même. C'est Marie qui a choisi la bonne part : elle ne lui sera pas enlevée." La réponse du Christ à Marthe qui s'affaire quand Marie, elle, a choisi de l'écouter, est l'une des scènes les plus connues de l'Évangile. Pour méditer cet épisode et en restituer la profondeur, trois auteurs réunissent ici leurs voix: un philosophe, un bibliste et un historien de l'art. Jean-Louis Chrétien fait l'inventaire des grandes interprétations de cette scène, d'Origène et saint Augustin à Thérèse d'Avila et Bérulle en passant par Maître Eckhart: entre Marthe l'active et Marie la contemplative, ce sont moins deux attitudes qui s'opposent, que deux réponses à la venue du Christ qui concordent, et font de la modeste demeure de Béthanie le premier « château de l'âme». Guy Lafon fait coexister la multiplicité, dans laquelle Marthe risque de se perdre, et l'unité que Marie, très unie à sa sueur, ressaisit dans son accueil passionné du Christ. Etienne Joliet, étudiant des ouvres de Aertsen, Tintoret, Vélasquez et Vermeer situe le thème dans le cadre du Concile de Trente et de la controverse de la justification par les ouvres ou par la foi; une évolution s'y repère dans le sens d'une dignité plus grande conférée à Marthe, magnifiant ainsi l'humilité et la charité, par lesquelles la grandeur de Dieu triomphe de la misère du monde…

Mary Magdalene and Her Sister Martha: An Edition and Translation of the Medieval Welsh Lives provides scholarly editions and English translations of the medieval Welsh versions of the legends of Mary Magdalene and Martha. Described by Victor Saxer as medieval best sellers, these hagiographical tales, which described how Mary Magdalene and her sister Martha survived a perilous sea voyage from the holy land and evangelized Provence, were available in many different Latin and vernacular versions and circulated widely in the medieval West. The texts were translated or adapted into Middle Welsh some time before the mid-fourteenth century: the Middle Welsh Life of Mary Magdalene is extant in thirteen manuscripts and the Middle Welsh Life of Martha is preserved in eight of the same manuscripts. Jane Cartwright makes the Middle Welsh versions available to an international audience for the first time and provides a detailed study of the Welsh manuscripts that contain the texts, a comparison between the different manuscripts versions and a discussion of the wider hagiographical context of the texts in Wales. The volume includes transcriptions, editions and translations of the two Lives based on the oldest most complete extant versions found in the Red Book of Talgarth c. 1400, as well as an additional section of text describing Mary Magdalene’s life before Christ’s crucifixion from the fifteenth-century Aberystwyth, National Library of Wales, Peniarth MS 27ii. The edition is accompanied by a comprehensive glossary which provides translations of all medieval Welsh words that occur in the texts, an analysis of the development and transmission of the legends, as well as a discussion of the relevance and popularity of these two female saints in late medieval Wales: medieval Welsh poetry, church dedications, and holy wells are also considered.

"This book examines the cults and legends of Martha and Mary Magdalen in Scandinavia through the composite Mo̜rtu saga ok Maríu Magðalenu, compiled in Iceland in the mid-fourteenth century. The study treats the saga's manuscripts and various Latin sources, which lend insight into its authorship and provenance. Special attention is given to issues of style and content, and in particular, to views on women preaching in medieval Iceland. The book concludes with a normalized edition of the only complete redaction of Mo̜rtu saga ok Maríu Magðalenu, followed by its first English translation."--
