Memory and Recollection in the Aristotelian Tradition. Essays on the Reception of Aristotle's De memoria et reminiscentia
, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 266 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503593128.
Summary Aristotle's De memoria et reminiscentia (?On Memory and Recollection?) is the oldest surviving systematic study of the nature of human memory. Forming part of Aristotle's other minor writings on psychology that were intended as a supplement to his De anima (?On the Soul?) and known under the collective title Parva naturalia, Aristotle's De memoria et reminiscentia gave rise to a vast number of commentaries in the Middle Ages. The present volume offers new knowledge on the medieval understanding of Aristotle's theories on memory and recollection across the linguistic traditions including the Byzantine Greek, Latin and Arabic reception.

Myth, Magic, and Memory in Early Scandinavian Narrative Culture. Studies in Honour of Stephen A. Mitchell
, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 456 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:17 b/w, 19 col., 5 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503589879.
Summary Myth, magic, and memory have together formed important, and often intertwined, elements to recent studies in the narrative culture of Viking-Age and Medieval Scandinavica. Analytical approaches to myth (prominent in the fields of history of religion, archaeology, language, and literature, and central to studies of visual cultures up to modern times), magic (drawing on a wealth of Norse folkloric and supernatural material that derives from pre-modern times and continues to impact on recent practices of performance and ritual), and memory (the concept of how we remember and actively construe the past) together combine to shed light on how people perceived the world around them. Taking the intersection between these diverse fields as its starting point, this volume draws together contributions from across a variety of disciplines to offer new insights into the importance of myth, magic, and memory in pre-modern Scandinavia. Covering a range of related topics, from supernatural beings to the importance of mythology in later national historiographies, the chapters gathered here are written to honour the work of Stephen A. Mitchell, professor of Scandinavian Studies and Folklore at Harvard University, whose research has heavily influenced this multi-faceted field.

Historical and Cultural Memory of the Babylonian World. Collecting Fragments from the 'Centre of the World'
, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, viii + 193 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:28 b/w, 5 col., 2 tables b/w., 2 maps b/w, 1 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503595368.
Summary In the study of the ancient world, Babylon can be considered as the most impressive representation, historically, archaeologically, and in literature, of urbanism in the Near East. This first example of an urban centre and its cultural heritage ? both tangible and intangible ? provides a focal point for discussions of historical and cultural memory in the region. The eleven contributions gathered here draw together multidisciplinary research into Babylonian culture, exploring the epistemic foundations, contacts, resilience, and cultural transmission of the city and its milieu from ancient times up until the modern day. Through this approach, this volume is able to support conversations concerning the historical and cultural memory of Babylon and promote a dialogue that cuts across, and unites, both cultures and academic disciplines.

Medieval Memory. Image and Text
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2004 Hardcover. XXVI 282 p., 18 colour ill., 165 x 240 mm, Languages: English, French, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503516837.
Scholars of medieval literary and cultural history have grown more aware of the crucial role of memory in the production, reception and functioning of texts and manuscripts. We owe this to the pioneering studies of Frances Yates and, more recently, Mary Carruthers and Susan Hagen. Historical linguists for their part try to describe the linguistic means by which listeners and readers are enabled to store the information flow in their memories. The relationship between medieval texts and memory is at the centre of this book. Seven historians of literature, three linguists and one art historian have contributed eleven essays, subsumed under three sections. The first section, 'Memory Texts', discusses genres that belong to medieval mnemonics. In the second and most extensive section, 'Memory Aspects in Texts', the focus is on literature and, more particularly, on how attention for mnemonics can enhance our insight into the form, composition and functioning of literary texts and manuscripts. Mental and visual images play a central role here. 'Text Memory', the final section, analyses medieval (French) literary discourse as a fabric of reference chains, in which different grammatical markers generate and organise mental representations in the memory.
