‎European Contexts of Ramism‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, xii + 353 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:13 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503574998.‎

‎Summary Pierre de la Ram e or Petrus Ramus (1515-1572) has long been a controversial figure in educational reform and innovation, from the moment of his first public academic statements in the 1530s, to his reception among scholars in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. What is beyond dispute, however, is the vast reach of his influence throughout Europe. Ramus's ideas were disseminated through copious editions and translations of his own textbooks, and in wave after wave of adaptations and re-imaginings of his ideas that swept across the continent. This volume embarks on a European tour of Ramism, using a wide range of previously unpublished or untranslated archival evidence from throughout the continent to examine the dissemination of Ramus's works and his intellectual influence in geographic and in disciplinary terms. The ten chapters explore the spread of Ramism from his home country of France to Protestant strongholds in Germany, Holland, and Britain, and in the Catholic context of the Iberian peninsula. The book also examines Ramism in the less familiar territories (to most Anglophone readers) of Scandinavia and Hungary, and considers the preceding and contemporary Dutch and German educational reform movements from which Ramus borrowed to forge his own distinctive intellectual method.

‎Margins, Monsters, Deviants. Alterities in Old Norse Literature and Culture‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, 248 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:11 b/w, 3 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503585864.‎

‎Summary Medieval Icelandic literature has often been reduced to the supposedly realist slendingas gur and their main protagonists at the expense of other genres and characters. Indeed, such a focus obscures and erases the importance of those beings and narratives that move on the margins of mainstream culture - whether socially, ethnically, ontologically, or textually. This volume aims to offer a new perspective on a variety of theoretical and comparative approaches to explore depictions of alterity, monstrosity, and deviation. Engaging with the interplay of genre, character, text, and culture, and exploring questions of behavioural, socio-cultural, and textual alterity, these contributions examine subjects ranging from the study of fragmented and 'Othered' saga narratives, to attitudes towards foreign people and lands, and alterities in mythological and legendary texts. Together the papers effectively challenge long-held perceptions about the lack of ambiguity in medieval Icelandic literature, and offer a far more nuanced understanding of the importance of the 'Other' in that society.

‎LE CULTE DE PRIAPE et ses rapports avec la théologie mystique des anciens. Suivi d'un Essai sur le culte des pouvoirs générateurs durant le Moyen Age.‎

‎Arché Milano 1987 In-8 carré ( 220 X 160 mm ) de 380 pages, broché sous couverture imprimée. 40 planches hors-texte. Très bel exemplaire, non coupé. +++C'est le premier livre traitant exclusivement du culte de Priape. En partant de la survivance d'un rituel phallique dans l'église d'lsernia ( Royaume de Naples ) observé à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, son auteur parcourt l'itinéraire de la religion phallique dans le monde ancien, un peu dans le goût des antiquarians anglais, en essayant de prouver que ce culte obscène est la représentation mystique et dégénérée d'une divinité qui à l'origine était le principe cosmique. [Caillet : "Très rare [.], détails sur les amulettes phalliques et sur le côté psychopathique et sexuel du Sabbat". Knight ( 1750-1824 ) joua un rôle politique actif ( il fut membre du Sénat et de la Royal Society ) amateur d'antiquités et notamment de numismatique, il voyagea beaucoup en Italie et fonda un Musée Phallique qui se trouve actuellement au British Museum. Après la première parution de son livre ( 1786 ), les violentes attaques puritaines de Mathias obligèrent Knight à en racheter tous les exemplaires pour les détruire.‎
