Manuscripts of Leo the Great?s Letters. The Transmission and Reception of Papal Documents in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages
, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 516 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:36 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503589664.
Summary This book explores the transmission of the letters of Leo the Great (pope, 440-461). After setting out the contours of Leo's papacy and the factors contributing to the sending and subsequent transmission of his letters to posterity, it deals in detail with around sixty collections of Leo's letters and over 300 manuscripts ranging in date from the sixth up to the sixteenth century. Each period of the Middle Ages is introduced as the context for collecting and copying the letters, and the relationships between the letter collections themselves are traced. The result is a survey of the impact of Leo the Great upon Latin Christendom, an impact that was felt in theology and canon law, especially from the age of the Emperor Justinian to the Council of Ferrara-Florence, and moving through the major monasteries of Europe from Corbie to Clairvaux. At every cultural Renaissance, Leo was a presence, being copied, rearranged, interpreted, and eventually printed. This book is a testament to the legacy of one of the mid-fifth century's most influential figures.

Message in a Bottle. Merchants' letters, merchants' marks and conflict management in 1533-34. A source edition
, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 257 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:15 b/w, 7 tables b/w., 2 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503595405.
Summary In 1533, a batch of merchants' letters was to be delivered from Antwerp to London. They never reached their destination, and were only opened in a Hanseatic archive almost 500 years later. Like a message in a bottle, the letters unfold unknown individual stories and large-scale drama. They offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of the early 16th century, from hard-nosed business and prices in code sent to a wife, to the fond greetings of an English father to his three young sons or a secretive message of a grandmother from Antwerp. At the backdrop, war was looming: the letters were part of a booty taken in the English Channel in August of 1533. L beck privateers plundered six neutral ships, carting the goods of English, Dutch, Spanish, Venetian and Hanseatic merchants off to L beck and Hamburg. As a result, Henry VIII of England exploded with rage and restitution claims were made. Soon after, L beck realized the potential political cost of the action and an administrative machinery for the return of the booty was set in motion. Extensive documentation was produced under the eye of notaries, providing an overview of properties of the involved parties, including many merchant marks. The combination of unique letters and administrative documents offers new openings into the study of economic, political and social history of pre-modern northern Europe. Highlights are the migration of people and goods, resourceful conflict management and the voice of ordinary people, captured in their letters. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

Werner Mannaers Love letters.
Antwerpen, MER Paper Kunsthalle, 2012 Gebonden, Hardcover, 296 pagina's met illustraties in kleur, 30x21 cm, *new ISBN 9789490693893.
Een liefdesbrief geeft vorm aan de liefde. Mannaers schrijft er geen, hij schildert ze in zijn smeuige bad painting-stijl. Gedurende een periode heeft hij elke dag een Love Letter gemaakt en bestemd. De bestemmeling is een vrouw. Mannaers is tevens verliefd op de liefde, dat maakt zijn reeks algemeen menselijk. Kunstenaars kunnen niet zwijgen over (hun) kunst, ook als ze de liefde bedrijven. Zo is het boek Love Letters een visueel commentarierend beeldverhaal over de geschiedenis van de moderne kunst geworden. Het werk van Mannaers is steeds 'intertekstueel', d.w.z. dat in of onder een tekst er een andere schuilt. In zijn Love Letters vinden we een dubbel niveau van twee soorten gelaagdheden. Zijn schilderijen zitten vol referenties aan andere kunstenaars. Voor zijn dagelijkse Love Letters, gouache op papier, plukt hij hier en daar uit zijn eigen schilderijen die in de maak zijn. Lieftalliger met minder weerhaken. // Love letters shape love. Werner Mannaers doesn?t write love letters, he paints them in his characteristic ?bad painting? style. During a certain time span, the painter created a Love Letter each day; the recipient of which was always a woman. Mannaers is in love with love; which makes his current series especially human: artists never shut up about (their) art, even when making love. The book Love Letters groups these paintings Mannaers made over time. Each Love Letter is effectuated using gouache on paper. They refer to some of Mannaers? paintings that are currently in the making. Each Love Letter equally makes reference to other artists. This makes this publication more than a collection of recent Love Letters: the publication discreetly evolves towards a visual commentary on the history of modern art.
Medieval Women in Letters Letters by Women, to Women, and about Women in Medieval Literatures
, brepols, 2025 Hardcover Pages: xiv + 376 p.Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 5 col., 4 tables b/w. Language(s):English, Italian, French. *new. ISBN 9782503616810.
Summary The letter was the most widespread means of communication in the Middle Ages and the most practiced literary genre also among women. This volume, produced under the auspices of the Medieval Women in Letters project from the MedioEvA Center (University of Siena, Rome Sapienza and Tours), explores the rhetorical, literary, thematic, and historical-cultural aspects of the female epistolography in the Middle Ages. Latin literature constitutes a cohesive element between the various vernacular languages that were establishing themselves during the Middle Ages, and this volume promotes the study of women?s literature and medieval woman by adopting a consistently comparative and translinguistic method, analyzing women?s literature in all the languages used in medieval Europe. The methodology focuses on the literary tradition, especially the linguistic and philological spheres. Specialists in Germanic, Middle Latin, Romance, Arabic, Italian, and Byzantine literature discuss published and unpublished female letters, with particular focus on the main challenges that female writing in the Middle Ages presents, including: authorship, the relationship between copyist and author, the degree of female literacy, training structures, the role of writing in the various seasons of the Middle Ages, and the modern critical reception of female epistolography. As a result, this volume seeks to dismantle obsolete critical prejudices and redefine a literary canon that fully includes women. TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface Reflections on Women and Letters JOAN M.

Letters of Salvator Rosa (1615-1673). An Italian Transcription, English Translation and Critical Edition
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2019 Hardback, 2 vols, vi + 1104 pages, Size:225 x 300 mm, Illustrations:4 b/w, 47 col., Languages: English, Italian. ISBN 9781905375882.
Summary These two volumes comprise the first English translation and critical edition of the extant letters of the Neapolitan painter and satirist Salvator Rosa (1615-1673). Presented in a revised Italian transcription and a complete English translation, the letters are accompanied by extensive historical notes, a philological apparatus, a comprehensive index, appendices, and photographs of the manuscripts. A number of previously unpublished letters also appear here for the first time. Unique among early modern primary documents for their quantity and exceptional for their candour, Rosa's letters are not only a fascinating and intimate chronicle of the artist himself but also an invaluable record of the activities and aspirations of his contemporaries,?offering useful insights into historical persons, ideas and events. An indispensable early modern primary source, comparable in significance to the letters of Michelangelo, Nicolas Poussin or Peter Paul Rubens, Rosa's letters here receive a long-overdue analysis and an English translation that seeks to make more accessible their contents, frequently impenetrable to even native Italian speakers.
