Peter of Verona is a critical bridge between the founding generation of the Dominican Order and its achievements in the schools of the late 13th century. A dynamic preacher and peacemaker, Peter was intimately involved in the anti-heretical efforts of his order and of the papacy. The Summa contra hereticos, here edited and translated for the first time, is a product of the initial flush of Dominican efforts in academic work, dating between 123...

Medieval literature and art abounds in descriptions of grotesque torments (punitive in hell, redemptive in purgatory) being meted out to the unhappy dead. But how can pain be experienced in the absence of the body? Can the main agents of suffering specified in Old Testament prophecies, fire and the worm, actually trouble a disembodied soul? The relative merits of material and metaphorical understandings of the economy of pain were debated thro...

Each edited text is provided with notes and there is an extensive glossary. The ma...

The J.B. Treatise is a collection of lore and information from the later fifteenth century on a range of topics considered essential learning for anyone aspiring to the English gentry. It has hitherto been known principally by way of an eclectic medley of filler material in the printed Boke of St Albans (1486), but survives in numerous variant forms in twenty-two, mostly unrelated, manuscripts. The treatise's foremost concerns are hawking and ...

Leslie Brook's edition of this French translation provides a reading text through a com...

As the first poem to have been composed on Joan of Arc, the only major one to have been written while Joan was still alive, and the last from the pen of Christine de Pizan, the Ditié de Jehanne d'Arc has unique claims to fame. This edition is based on the Berne text (reproduced photographically in full), with variants from the Carpentras and Grenoble manuscripts. The critical apparatus includes an introduction, a table of events providing the ...

To throw fresh light upon the translation's origins, a range of other Old Norse and Old English texts are considered. While the known facts of Ælfrician manuscript circulation and adaptation are hard to...

L'Entrée d'Espagne is a fourteenth century Franco-Italian poem, probably composed by its unknown Paduan author at the early Visconti court, which defined a literary trend of the Renaissance, by transforming a typical epic matter - Charlemagne's conquest of Spain - into a chivalric poem, it successfully hybridized epic with classical sources, references to the Breton romances, and European conceptions (or misconceptions) of medieval Islam. This...

Ensemble, ils allaient manger les beignets de la vieille Nourrédia. Le soir, il jouait avec Naïa, la fille des voisins. Et puis les attentats ont commencé, et bientôt la ville s'est trouvée prise dans un étau entr...
