‎Love, Marriage, and Family Ties in the Later Middle Ages,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2003 Hardback, XII+340 p., 8 b/w ill., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503522074.‎

‎This volume addresses the current fashion for research on the family and domesticity in the past. It draws together work from various disciplines - historical, art-historical and literary - with their very different source materials and from a broad geographical area, including some countries - such as Croatia and Poland - which are not usually considered in standard text books on the medieval family. This volume considers the various affective relationships within and around the family and the manner in which those relationships were regulated and ritualized in more public arenas. Despite their disparate approaches and geographical spread, these essays share many thematic concerns; the ideologies which structured gender roles, inheritance rights, incest law and the ethics of domestic violence, for example, are all considered here. This collection originates from the Leeds IMC in 2001 when the special strand was entitled Domus and Familia and attracted huge participation. This book aims to reflect that richness and variety whilst contributing to an expanding area of historical enquiry. Languages : English.‎

‎Medieval Household in Christian Europe, c. 850-c. 1550 Managing Power, Wealth, and the Body,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2004 Hardback, XVI+486 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503522081.‎

‎This volume asks whether there was a common structure, ideology, and image of the household in the medieval Christian West. In the period under examination, noble households often exercised great power in their own right, while even quite humble households were defined as agents of government in the administration of local communities. Many of the papers therefore address the public functions and perceptions of the household, and argue that the formulation of domestic (and family) values was of essential importance in the growth and development of the medieval Christian state. Contributors to this volume of collected essays write from a number of disciplinary perspectives (archaeological, art-historical, historical, and literary). They examine socially diverse households (from peasants to kings) and use case-studies from different regions across Europe in different periods from the medieval epoch from c.850 to c.1550. The volume both includes studies from archives and collections not often covered in English-language publications, and offers new approaches to more familiar material. It is divided into thematic sections exploring the role of households in the exercise of power, in controlling the body, in the distribution of wealth and within a wider economy of possessions. The majority of the papers were first given at the International Medieval Congress at the University of Leeds in 2001, in a strand on 'Domus and Familia' organised by the Urban Household Group of the Centre for Medieval Studies, University of York.

‎Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Preaching in the Mediterranean and Europe. Identities and Interfaith Encounters‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, ix + 337 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:9 b/w, Languages: English, French, Spanish. ISBN 9782503582719.‎

‎Summary This volume explores the sermons and activities of Christian, Jewish, and Muslim preachers who shaped ideas about religious and gendered identities and alterity throughout the Mediterranean and northern Europe. Preachers of all three traditions played a decisive role in defining the religious identities of their communities, often in response to negative images projected onto religious others. The studies cover a broad spectrum of premodern Europe and the Mediterranean and address the ways that preaching reflects transcultural contacts as well as social, intellectual, and hermeneutical encounters among diverse societies and religious communities. The essays are divided into three themes. Part One, 'Religious and Gendered Identities and Alterities,' examines how religious identity is inflected by the presence or the 'absent presence' of religious others and interrogates how gender informs religious identity, piety, and alterity. The chapters in Part Two, 'Hermeneutical Identities, Alterities, and Transcultural Relations in Christian and Jewish Preaching', offer contrasting interpretations of the impact of anti-Judaism in Christian preaching and analyse Jewish responses to Christian polemic. Part Three, 'Muslim and Christian Orators and Inter-faith Encounters,' explores these encounters from the dual perspectives of Crusade and military conflict and interreligious dialogue, disputation, and proselytization. The volume positions itself at the intellectual crossroads between comparative medieval sermons studies and transcultural Mediterranean and European studies.

‎Chronicles of Medieval Wales and the March. New Contexts, Studies, and Texts‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, xvi + 455 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:6 b/w, 20 tables b/w., Languages: English, Middle English, Latin. ISBN 9782503583495.‎

‎Summary The chronicles of medieval Wales are a rich body of source material offering an array of perspectives on historical developments in Wales and beyond. Preserving unique records of events from the fifth to the fifteenth centuries, these chronicles form the essential narrative backbone of all modern accounts of medieval Welsh history. Most celebrated of all are the chronicles belonging to the Annales Cambriae and Brut y Tywysogyon families, which document the tumultuous struggles between the Welsh princes and their Norman and English neighbours for control over Wales. Building on foundational studies of these chronicles by J. E. Lloyd, Thomas Jones, Kathleen Hughes, and others, this book seeks to enhance understanding of the texts by refining and complicating the ways in which they should be read as deliberate literary and historical productions. The studies in this volume make significant advances in this direction through fresh analyses of well-known texts, as well as through full studies, editions, and translations of five chronicles that had hitherto escaped notice.

‎Le doigt sur la bouche, Harpocrate, l'enfant-dieu egyptien, ordonne aux hommes de la Renaissance de se taire. On parle donc beaucoup de silence a l'aube de la modernite. Car la rhetorique des humanistes et ses jeux donne des arguments au scepticisme et la coherence du monde en est ebranlee. Pantagruel convoque le muet Nazdecabre contre ?« les amphibologies, equivocques et obscuritez des mots ?», et Cordelia et Hamlet se taisent pour toujours pour dire l'amour et la mort. Dans ce monde ou la Reforme a desacralise les cloitres, le silence se refugie dans le mystere des temples antiques qui renaissent pour sauver le sacre des souillures des guerres de religion. Mais le silence est ambivalent comme le langage qu'il tente de combattre et peut signifier aussi bien lachete, surdite ou censure que verite indicible. Alors c'est dans la poesie muette de la peinture que l'on peut encore en savourer le mystere.

‎Éloquence et action à la Renaissance‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 241 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 11 col., Language: French. ISBN 9782503583204.‎

‎Summary Cicéron oppose dans le De oratore éloquence et rhétorique : c'est en prenant des leçons de ceux qui avaient une éloquence naturelle que l'art de la rhétorique est né. L'éloquence n'est pas une conséquence de la rhétorique, mais la rhétorique l'est de l'éloquence. La rhétorique ne doit jamais oublier son rapport à la nature. Or, aux cours des âges, la rhétorique devenue prescriptive finit par s'isoler du sens, de la création, de l'action humaine et devenir l'exercice stérile d'hommes obscurs, abîmés dans le silence de la vita contemplativa. Lorsque les prêtres donnent plus dans les mots que dans le contenu, chante le fou dans Le Roi Lear (III, 2), le royaume n'est pas loin du pourrissement. Dans cette relation entre éloquence et action à la Renaissance, l'action n'est autre que le concept suggéré par la vita activa, tout ce qui touche la vie sociale et politique et que la période humaniste privilégie. Si l'action se distingue ainsi de l'actio, la cinquième tâche de la rhétorique, qui met en oeuvre le corps même de la parole, la voix et le geste, qu'il soit de la main ou de l'oeil, elle peut aussi l'inclure. À la cour d'Elsinore, les gestes et les regards de l'acteur ont un rôle politique. Ainsi se propose-t-on de comprendre comment la Renaissance a repris le grand débat classique sur la valeur éthique de l'éloquence et de son art, la rhétorique. Comment les oppositions mots/choses, mots/faits et mots/actes se relaient entre elles pour fonder des théories du langage qui peuvent aboutir à un scepticisme sur le pouvoir des mots ou au contraire à sa valorisation, allant jusqu'à faire de l'éloquence une arme contre la violence. L'étude de la vie publique et de la langue, en passant par celle des arts, musique et peinture, fait apparaître l'importance de ce débat à l'âge moderne.

‎Episcopal Power and Personality in Medieval Europe, 900-1480‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, vii + 303 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 5 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503585000.‎

‎Summary The question of personality is a problematic one, beset by complications of cultural distance, the layers of the past, and the limitations of the source material. Recognising these difficulties, this volume draws together character sketches based upon historical narratives and a range of sources, including architecture, liturgical manuscripts, chronicles, and hagiographical material, to show a multifaceted range of means by which historians can construct, reconstruct, and deconstruct episcopal power through the person of the bishop. Building on a previous volume of essays, Episcopal Power and Local Society in Medieval Europe, 900-1400, which examined the construction, augmentation, and expression of episcopal power in local society, this second volume seeks to uncover the impact of the personalities behind that power. Through essays dealing with the construction of cultural and political personalities, the shadows they cast, and the contexts that forged them, this volume brings to life the careers of bishops across medieval Europe from c. 900 to c. 1480. This geographical range and broad time span throws up the similarity in applications and benefits of interdisciplinarity which can be applied to ecclesiastical history, and presents a fascinating range of case studies for consideration.

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2011 Paperback, 192 p., 5 b/w ill., 15,6 x 23,4. ISBN 9782503532479.‎

‎Le Plaisir est-il le Bien ? La Renaissance reprend a son compte cette question debattue depuis le Philebe et le livre X de l' Ethique a Nicomaque. Au XVe siecle, Lorenzo Valla, dans son dialogue Sur le Plaisir de 1430 tranche dans le sens d'une identification entre le plaisir et le Bien suivi un siecle plus tard par Erasme qui n'hesite pas dans l'Epicurien (1533) d'assimiler le Christ a Epicure. Et Montaigne dans sa critique du stoicisme stigmatise le danger des vertus immoderees qui excluent le plaisir. Le probleme que posait Platon de la possibilite d?un faux plaisir a nouveau fascine les esprits. Et si le plaisir pense, imagine, reve pouvait reveiller les sens, toucher le corps ? Et si les barrieres s?effacaient entre le corps et l?ame ? Rehabiliter le plaisir, c?est pouvoir assumer sa part d?ombre, le deplaisir, refuser l?abstraction de leur dissociation. Accepter le plaisir, c?est accepter la mort. C?est l?une des lecons paradoxales de Peines d?Amour Perdues que la pensee baroque ne cessera d?illustrer. La Renaissance reste vigilante, comme l?avaient ete les periodes precedentes, car il est un plaisir auquel il ne convient pas de laisser libre cours : le bon plaisir du monarque absolutiste.
