Solo di recente gli studi filologici si sono applicati all'esame sistematico dell'ampio e articolato corpus dell'agiografia volgare medievale in prosa, spostando l'attenzione dai singoli testi - visti in passato per lo più come reperti di interesse linguistico - verso il libro agiografico, verso cioè le centinaia di raccolte che tra XIII e XIV sec. si diffondono non solo in ambienti religiosi ma anche, e soprattutto, presso i ceti laici e borghesi, dove la raccolta agiografica, al di là delle sue funzioni devozionali, spesso rappresenta lo strumento base (e talvolta unico) anche per una più generale edificazione culturale e letteraria. A fianco dei cataloghi e dei repertori, si avverte oggi il bisogno di disporre di edizioni complete dei singoli mss., in modo da poter analizzarne le fonti, la scelta e l'ordinamento dei testi, la lingua e lo stile, gli interventi sui contenuti, e infine i rapporti di parentela tra le diverse raccolte. A questi scopi e principi si ispira la presente edizione della raccolta redatta in italiano settentrionale (inizio XIV sec.) del ms. Magl. XXXVIII.110 della Bibl. Naz. di Firenze, introdotta da uno studio stilistico, con speciale atten-zione alle strategie di traduzione, uno studio delle fonti e uno studio linguistico molto ampio (corredato di glossario).

A reappraisal of Bede's writings, focusing on his use of genre and rhetoric. The church history of the Anglo-Saxons can only be approached through the lens of a few writers, arguably the greatest of whom is Bede; his works illuminate an otherwise impoverished landscape of ecclesial development from conversion to established Christian church amongst the Anglo-Saxons. Bede, however, had his own agendas - monastic, political, and rhetorical. In her reappraisal of Bede's 'Ecclesiastical History, Lives of the Saints, History of the Abbots', the 'Lesser' and 'Greater Chronicles' and the 'Martyrology' and the audience for these texts, the author draws out the role played by classical forms of genre and rhetoric in the crafting of his work.She also explores the underlying political influences that caused Bede to write 'historia' as he did. In particular, she notes the role of 'historia' in monastic affairs, especially through the generation of a rhetoric of orthodoxy and the power of the cultural capital afforded by this within the relatively newly constituted Christian community in Northumbria. Dr VICKY GUNN is Senior Lecturer, Learning and Teaching Centre, University of Glasgow.

"These essays examine how various communities remembered and commemorated their shared past through the lens of utopia and its corollary, dystopia, providing a framework for the reinterpretation of rapidly changing religious, cultural and political realities of the turbulent period from 300 to 750 CE. The common theme of the chapters is the utopian ideals of religious groups, whether these are inscribed on the body, on the landscape, in texts or other cultural objects. The volume is the first to apply this conceptual framework to Late Antiquity, when historically significant conflicts arose between the adherents of four major religious identities: Greco-Roman "pagans", newly dominant Christians, diaspora Jews who were more or less persecuted, depending on the current regime, and the emerging religion and power of Islam. Late Antiquity was thus a period when dystopian realities competed with memories of a mythical Golden Age, variously conceived according to the religious identity of the group. The contributors come from a range of disciplines, including cultural studies, religious studies, ancient history and art history, and employ both theoretical and empirical approaches. This volume is unique in the range of evidence it draws upon, both visual and textual, to support the basic argument, that utopia in Late Antiquity, whether conceived spiritually, artistically or politically, was a place of the past but also of the future, even of the Afterlife. Memories of Utopia will be of interest to historians, archaeologists, and art historians of the later Roman empire, and those working on religion in Late Antiquity and Byzantium"--
