The Breve reprehensorium (1465) is a treatise in favour of the newly converted Christians of Jewish descent. Based on the only known surviving manuscript, this edition and translation is presented together with an introduction examining the historical background of the controversy surrounding the so-called cristianos nuevos or conversos in late medieval Iberia. Unlike the more famous churchmen and scholars of his time, the author of this "Shor...

The Liber de duobus monachis, a late example of the creative Latin surge of the long twelfth century, has lain undetected in manuscripts of various European and American libraries for some six hundred years. It deserves far greater recognition than its hiding places have allowed it. A traditional debate poem, it actually varies the tradition enough to take its own original form and shape. Instead of the anonymous voices stating positions that ...

This study presents an edition of Farman's Old English interlinear gloss (Rushworth One) in Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Auct. D. 2. 19 (The Rushworth, or MacRegol, Gospels). The edition, which is designed to be used together with online facsimiles of the manuscript (from the Digital Bodleian), prints both the Latin text and the Old English glosses, along with a critical apparatus collating the Latin text with standard editions of the Vulgate ...

This book investigates the concept of the Northern Middle English dialect area as largely homogenous, taking its core data from four Northern manuscripts of the devotional poem, The Pricke of Conscience. The NME area has been little studied, due largely to a lack of localised manuscripts. A Linguistic Atlas of Late Mediaeval English is an invaluable resource for the dialectologist, but where anchor texts are lacking, it cannot form a sole basi...

In our age of unprecedented access to information, the handwritten records of the medieval era remain overwhelmingly dark - unread and unreadable - confining modern scholarship to a tiny fraction of their totality. Yet this constraint is fast disappearing as a range of new technologies transform our understanding of the Dark Archives and thus of the medieval, to an extent unseen since the invention of movable type and voyages of discovery in t...

The official vita of Peter of Verona by Friar Thomas Agni of Lentini from the mid-1260s is here presented with a critical edition and translation for the first time, all extant witnesses to the text have been consulted. After his assassination in 1252, Peter of Verona was rapidly proclaimed a martyr, and his Vita testifies to the far-reaching extension of his cult, spreading out from Italy and Southern France to reach western Iberia and Irelan...

How and why did the story of St Katherine's passion, which did not generate a particularly exceptional devotion in Byzantium during the final centuries of the first millennium, end up transplanted to the fertile religious environment of eleventh-century Normandy? This study contends that Katherine's appeal to the Normans is rooted in her relative obscurity and verisimilar resemblances to early martyrs, and that the very early texts already con...

In the Middle and Early Modern Ages, translations of Ovid's Metamorphoses in the vernacular played a pivotal role in the process of the transmission of this poem to the emerging European cultures. These vernacular translations, together with the glosses, commentaries, and illustrations that frequently accompanied them, are the object of study of this collective volume. Ovid in the Vernacular covers eight linguistic areas (English, Spanish, Cat...

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...
