It covers publications written in various European languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, etc.) and is the result of collaboration between the Catholic University of Louvain and the KU Leuven, which are both recognized internationally for their excellence in the field of Theology and Religious Studies. (LLT) Since 2009 the Library of Latin Texts consists of two parts, each of which can be subscribed to separately. The aim is to input the largest possible number of Latin texts and make them available and searchable as one large corpus. This is as a response to the growing needs of scholars to have the widest possible material of the highest standard. The material which makes up the Library of Latin Texts – Series B is drawn from existing scholarly editions whereas the Library of Latin Texts – Series A benefits from the additional intensive research work undertaken by the Centre ‘Traditio Litterarum Occidentalium’ (CTLO). Key features Key features Series A • Approximately 590,000 bibliographic records and 120,000 review references are searchable (January 2015) • Contains more than 3625 texts • More than 20,000 new records every year • Updated yearly with new material • Over 1000 journals systematically checked • Multilingual Interface (English, French, Spanish, Italian and German) • Indexing in English and French • Extensive search possibilities (Author, Title, Year of Publication, ISBN / ISSN, Geographic Area, Discipline, Period, Keyword, Person, etc.). • Ability to query the database from Bible Verses, the Tenets of Canon Law, or the Dead Sea Scrolls • Ability to export records in several formats (Endnote, Microsoft Office Word, Refworks, Zotero, etc.). • Academic partner: Centre ‘Traditio Litterarum Occidentalium’ The Patrologia Orientalis Database (POD) is a collection of patristic texts from the Christian East, including works, recorded in non-Latin languages, that come from geographical, cultural, or religious contexts somehow linked to Rome or the Eastern Roman Empire. This initial version of the database allows users to access texts included in the Patrologia Orientalis (PO) series in two forms: the original text, available as a PDF file, and a searchable translation. The user can search for items (such as keywords or quotes) in the language into which a text was translated in the PO. All the texts in the PO are searchable, and the reader can check the translation with the original text visible alongside as a non-searchable PDF file.

Follow us on BOOK SERIES INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE DIASPORA NEW PERSPECTIVES ON JEWISH HISTORY AND CULTURE The Diaspora Series is dedicated to research into the heritage of the Jewish nation and its culture and the varied ways this culture impacted on Europe. Pre-modern Europe bears witness to a diversity of subject areas concerned with the Diaspora. Not only did it see the emergence and continuance of Jewish migration, it also reveals the formation of interrelated communities. Jews throughout Europe were not simply the distant or settled ‘other’; they also formed a vital part of the social, cultural, and intellectual life of the European Middle Ages. The Diaspora Series seeks to explore this diverse and sometimes contradictory phenomenon in all its complexity. J. Raba The Gift and Its Wages The Land of Israel and the Jewish People in the Spiritual Life of Medieval Russia XII+420 p., 33 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm, 2014, HB, ISBN 978-2-503-53438-1, € 130 Language: English Series: Diaspora 1 In its efforts to be recognized as the ‘New Chosen People’ within the family of nations, Old Russia rejected the descendants of the ‘Old Chosen People’. The almost total absence of Jews in Russia throughout the ancient period, along with the central role played by Jewish tradition in the development of its culture, are a contradiction. This book presents the story of this dichotomy during the Old Russian millennium, from its inception to the late seventeenth century. The material is organized chronologically, beginning with the creation of the Kievan state in the far reaches of the Khazar polity in the ninth century, and ending with the reforms of Peter the Great. This is preceded by a survey of two sources that shaped the image of the land and people of Israel in the erudite world of ancient Russia: a description of the Holy Land by Abbot Daniel in the early twelfth century, and the ancient Slavic translation of Josephus’s Wars of the Jews.

They delve into specific subjects such as the Romaniot presence in the city, the Karaite society, family life throughout the generations, material culture and its meaning, social life, urban history, economic life, and relations with the Ottoman regime.

The volume makes an important contribution not only to the history of medieval Jewish-Christian relations, but also to research on the uses and functions of law in medieval societies.

Linder Review "Es ist eine Stärke des Sammelbandes, sich nicht ausschliesslich – wie mehrere andere rechtshistorische Darstellungen – auf die Normative Ebene von Gesetzestexten zu beschränken, sondern auch danach zu fragen, was diese normativen Quellen über die konkreten Lebensbedingungen der Juden aussagen. Eine weitere Stärke liegt zweifelsohne darin, lateinischen 'Westen' und byzantinischen 'Osten' vergleichend in den Blick zu nehmen." C. Scholl, in: Das Mittelalter 20, 2 (2015), p. 450-451 J. V.

Lauer Review "(...) c’est avec plaisir qu’on découvre cet ouvrage très documenté et fort éclairant sur les rapports sociaux, la fabrique des identités, les coutumes cautionnées ou interdites, pour le pouvoir dominant aussi bien que pour les minorités religieuses, dans les espaces de contacts multiconfessionnels que sont les villes médiévales." Carine Giovénal, dans: Perspectives médiévales, 36, 2015 Étude des lettres pontificales de 1199 à 1419 Pour les papes il était inévitable d’entretenir des relations avec le monde arabo-musulman, oriental bien entendu – l’Égypte et le Moyen Orient – mais aussi occidental – l’Espagne et le Maghreb –. Ainsi dès 1199, Innocent III s’adressait-il au «Miramolin, roi du Maroc». Quelque deux cent et une lettres, rédigées au cours des XIIIème et XIVème siècles et pour la plupart enregistrées dans les registres des Archives secrètes du Vatican, permettent d’éclairer la position du Saint-Siège face au Maghreb. Review "L'ouvrage très descriptif, présente de manière très détaillée 200 ans de relations internationales entre papauté et Maghreb. Les enjeux et les intérêts des pontifes à maintenir des relations diplomatiques avec les souverains musulmans, comme leur intérêt à veiller sur les fidèles sont très soigneusement présentés. L'ouvrage permet de mieux comprendre les intérêts pontificaux au Maghreb." Amandine Le Roux, in: Sehepunkte, 15, 2015, Nr. 9 J. V. Tolan (ed.) Expulsion and Diaspora Formation Religious and Ethnic Identities in Flux from Antiquity to the Seventeenth Century 244 p., 3 b/w ill., 3 b/w tables, 156 x 234 mm, PB, 2015, PB, ISBN 978-2-503-55525-6, € 75 Languages: English, French Series: Religion and Law in Medieval Christian and Muslim Societies 5 The eleven essays in this volume explore the relations between expulsion, diaspora, and exile between Late Antiquity and the seventeenth century. The essays range from Hellenistic Egypt to seventeenth-century Hungary and involve expulsion and migration of Jews, Muslims and Protestants. The common goal of these essays is to shed light on the dynamics of expulsion, in particular its social and political causes; the integration of expelled communities into their host societies; and, finally, the role of expulsion and exile in the development of founding myths that establish (or attempt to establish) group identities.

Yuval, R. Ben-Shalom (ed.) OUTREMER STUDIES IN THE CRUSADES AND THE LATIN EAST Outremer is a series devoted to the history of the crusading movement, mission and the Latin East in their widest definitions.

Studies in the Crusades and the Latin East 2 A seminal article published by Giles Constable in 1953 focused on the genesis and expansion in scope of the Second Crusade with particular attention to what has become known as the Syrian campaign. His central thesis maintained that by the spring of 1147 the Church “viewed and planned” the Second Crusade as a general Christian offensive against the Muslims of Syria, the Iberian Peninsula and the pagan Wends of the southern Baltic lands. This volume aims to readdress scholarly predilections for concentrating on the venture in the Near East and for narrowly focusing on the accepted targets of the crusade. It aims instead to place established, contentious, and new events and concepts associated with the enterprise in a wider ideological, chronological, geopolitical, and geographical context. compare primary sources and historiography, and yet others consider the crusade in its Mediterranean context, which is sometimes overlooked. These definitive studies of established areas of research are augmented by the ground-breaking work in relatively new areas: the ‘emotional language’ used in the narrative sources; the memorialization of the crusades; and the use of literary sources for crusade studies: notably there are complementary papers on the heroes and villains depicted in the Old French poetic accounts of the First Crusade. This collection of studies is devoted to an examination of the cultural discourse between Jews and Christians in the Middle Ages as a longue durée process, and pursues its concerns from a variety of innovative perspectives that join together authoritative scholars from the field of Jewish-Christian relations.

Série Antiquité 196 S. B. Edgington, L. García-Guijarro (ed.) Jerusalem the Golden Cette recherche s’inscrit dans une double démarche: restitution d’une cohérence globale à l’oeuvre d’Ibn Qutayba (213/828-276/889) et essai de définition de la notion d’adab (genre littéraire, éthique, paideia?). Elle s’articule autour de la fonction d’auteur telle qu’elle apparaît dans les ‘Uyūn al-Aḫbār, somme de récits et vers exemplaires, ainsi que de la fonction rhétorique de cet ouvrage qui l’apparente à un recueil d’exempla de l’Occident médiéval. La parenté des ‘Uyūn al-Aḫbār avec le genre de l’encyclopédie y est également abordée. Enrichie d’un éclairage comparatiste apporté par la littérature médiévale occidentale, la confrontation critique de ce texte avec les interprétations qui en ont été données est fondée sur l’analyse rhétorique et stylistique du prologue des ‘Uyūn al-Aḫbār, ainsi que sur la lecture transversale des introductions des trois ouvrages fondamentaux d’adab d’Ibn Qutayba, que sont l’Adab al-Kātib, les ‘Uyūn alAḫbār et les Ma‛ārif. La traduction annotée des deux dernières citées accompagne cette recherche. The dialogues in which Christian characters are debating with Jews constitute an important aspect of ancient and medieval Christian literature. Modern critical editions and detailed monographs are now available, but we still need a book which would be exclusively devoted to this group of texts, from its origins to the modern period. This volume offers the first general study of these texts. It is centred primarily on the literary, historical and doctrinal aspects of the aduersus Iudaeos dialogues. Contributors S. Morlet, D.

(...) While scholars, including many of the authors of this volume, have already done much to shed light on this topic, this is by far the most comprehensive, in-depth, and original treatment to date. (...) this volume is an important milestone to which a wide variety of scholars – all those with an interest in medieval or early modern art and medieval or early modern Christianity – will undoubtedly be turning frequently and for a very long time."

In its heyday, Famagusta was home to Greeks, Franks, Armenians, Jews, Syrians of various religious backgrounds, and numerous merchants from the Italian trading cities, above all Genoa and Venice. Smaller groups completed the mix. With money pouring in from trade and the support of the crown, in the fourteenth century the town was encircled with impressive walls, still extant, and dozens of churches were constructed, adopting unique variations of the Gothic style, including large Latin, Greek, and Syrian cathedrals. Many of these are still intact, others consist of evocative ruins among the palm trees with the backdrop of the blue sea. This fascinating history and its heritage are dealt with in the present volume. Contributors A. Weyl Carr, T. Papacostas, N. Coldstram, M. Olympios, M. Bacci, M. Paschali, J. M.

Néanmoins, chaque région possède ses propres caractéristiques, et l’étude des monuments rupestres de la région des lacs d’Ohrid et de Prespa démontre leurs particularités. Vingtquatre églises, datant du milieu du XIIIe au milieu du XVIe siècle, ont été recensées et étudiées du point de vue architectural, iconographique, stylistique et épigraphique. Dans quelle mesure les programmes iconographiques reflètent-ils les fonctions des lieux? Quelle est la différence entre les chapelles des diverses périodes? Quels sont leurs rapports avec les monuments construits? Ce sont les questions que nous nous sommes posées. Byzantine to Modern Pottery in the Aegean is the first general introduction and easy-to-use field guide for Medieval and Post-Medieval pottery in this part of the Mediterranean. It encompasses ca. 80 wares most commonly found during excavations, surveys and in museums, dating from the 7th century until the 20th century. This indispensable book guides archaeologists, field workers and everyone interested in the Medieval past of the eastern Mediterranean ware by ware through 12 centuries of ceramic artefacts and human activity.

It covers many traditional types of performance, including singers, dancers, storytellers, street performers, clowns, preachers, shadow-puppeteers, fireworks displays, and semi-theatrical performances in folk and other celebrations. It explores performance of the secular as well as of the sacred in its many forms, including Sunni, Shiite, Sufi, and Alevi Muslims; Sephardic Jews and those in the Holy Land; and Armenian, Greek, and European Catholic Christians. The book focuses on the Medieval and Early Modern periods, including the Early Ottoman. Some papers reach backward into Late Antiquity, while others demonstrate continuity with the modern Eastern Mediterranean world. Contributors L.

Review "This collection is ambitiously large, and the editors have done yeoman's work in keeping it thematically coherent, at least within the individual sections; some of the essays are exceptional in their reach and originality, and overall Medieval and Early Modern Performance in the Eastern Mediterranean will have a place as a general reference to the state of the field of historical performance studies."

From Kiev to Avignon to Protestant Bohemia, to Assisi, and obviously to the second Rome, Constantinople, the Eternal City became a model, explicit or implicit, for generations of artists and intellectuals.

It deals with a remarkable phenomenon: the fact that, after a period of 500 years of absence, the tenth century sees a revival of monumental sculpture in the Latin West. Contrary to the West, in Byzantium, such a revival never occurred: only relief sculpture – mostly integrated within an architectural context – was used. However, Eastern theologians are the authors of highly fascinating and outstanding original theoretical reflections about the nature and efficacy of images. How can this difference be explained? Why do we find the most fascinating theoretical concepts of images in a culture that sticks to two-dimensional icons often venerated as cult-images that are copied and repeated, but only randomly varied? And why does a groundbreaking change in the culture of images – the "revival" of monumental sculpture – happen in a context that provides more restrained theoretical reflections upon images in their immediate theological, liturgical and artistic contexts? These are some of the questions that this book seeks to answer. C.

Examination of three sculpted and inscribed monuments, produced during the "global" wars of the seventh century, demonstrates the close engagement of Armenia with Byzantine imperial interests and with contemporary events in the Holy Land. The dramatic context of the military frontier, and the apocalyptic expectations of its contemporaries, shaped a vibrant visual culture with ties to both the Byzantine and Sasanian worlds. The seventh-century monuments of Armenia are important not just as an extraordinary moment of local cultural production; they fill a crucial gap in our knowledge about the medieval traditions of the Christian East at a time from which little survives from Constantinople and the imperial heartland. Vigilant Powers is the first English-language book devoted to the subject. S. E. J. Gerstel (ed.)

Roberts, V. della Dora Medieval Coins and Seals: Constructing Identity, Signifying Power showcases these objects as intrinsic and highly significant aspects of medieval visual culture, and contributes to an understanding of the many ways in which they functioned as conveyors of meaning in Western European, Islamic, and Byzantine cultures from the fifth to the fifteenth century. The essays presented here, by art historians, numismatists, sigillographers, and historians on a wide variety of coins and seals, afford fresh insight into these tantalizing relics of medieval art and the vibrant cultural roles they played at the time of their creation.

The essays include material culture studies that explore textile display, archival investigations that reveal patterns of donation, technical studies concerning design and production processes, as well as art historical studies concerning the representation of textiles in other media.

Si l’on peut s’étonner de la brusquerie du phénomène, il faut aussi se demander quelles en furent les modalités. Sans doute la Paix de l’Église, puis la christianisation de l’Empire romain, créèrent-elles les conditions favorables à l’assouvissement de nouvelles aspirations, mais un obstacle a priori insurmontable n’allait-il pas très vite se dresser devant elles? Dans la majorité des cas, comment faire pour retrouver – à supposer qu’on y pensât encore – ce qui s’était perdu ? C’est alors que l’on se mit à «inventer», à découvrir providentiellement, les corps des patriarches, des prophètes, des apôtres, des martyrs, bientôt des moines, des vierges ou des évêques, et jusqu’aux reliques (secondaires) du Christ et de la Vierge. Après avoir exposé pour elles-mêmes quelques-unes des plus notables inventions survenues aux IVe – VIe siècles, ce travail s’attache à en éclairer le mécanisme, d’abord par une lecture suivie des récits qui nous en ont transmis la mémoire, ensuite par l’examen des différents enjeux qu’elles sous-tendent.

Y est étudiée en effet successivement la situation politique (relations avec les Goths et avec l’empire d’Orient), religieuse (la question de l’arianisme) et culturelle de l’Afrique vandale. Dans le domaine littéraire, une place particulière a été faite à Dracontius, certainement le plus grand auteur latin de l’Afrique sous domination vandale, qui, depuis la publication de ses Œuvres complètes dans la Collection des Universités de France, est mieux évalué à sa juste valeur. L’ouvrage présente un solide bilan des connaissances sur l’Afrique vandale, en même temps qu’il ouvre à des interprétations, des pistes, des idées nouvelles. Contributors Table de matières G.

This second volume contains papers by scholars mainly based in the Southern Hemisphere. The first volume mainly from contributors based in the Northern Hemisphere was published in 2007. Table of contents Volume II Documentary papyri are an unparalleled source for the study of women in antiquity. Among them are numbers of female-authored texts which allow women’s voices to be heard. In the period to 400 CE twenty-six of these texts provide information on Christian women’s religious lives. This book analyses these papyri. They give insight into Christian women’s knowledge and use of biblical texts, their practice of prayer, their theological understanding of God, their lives and relationships. This book also examines texts written to Christian women or referring to Christian women among which are a valuable group referring to ascetic women. The perspectives of the papyri nuance what is known about women from other sources. R. Burns, Diocletian’s Fortifications of Syria and Arabia G. Clarke – H.

The unifying element linking them was their common Byzantine past, since they remained in the sphere of imperial power after the creation of the Lombard kingdom in the late 6th century, up to 750. What happened to them when their links with the Byzantine Empire were almost entirely severed in the 8th century? Did they remain socially and culturally heirs of Byzantium in the 9th and 10th centuries? Or did they become part of the next imperial powers of Italy, the Carolingian and the Ottonian empires? A workshop in Oxford in 2014 brought together an international group of specialists to discuss these questions in a comparative context; the excitement of their debates is captured in the discussion sections linking the papers in this volume.

In so doing, for the very first time the manifestations of everyday literacy are revealed in an area where the East and the West intersect, i.e. in southeastern Europe. Review “Bubalo’s book presents a much needed opportunity for traditional Western scholars to expand their knowledge of this dynamic region of the medieval world. All comprehensive collections of works on literacy in the Middle Ages will want to have this volume in their catalogues.” Denis Crnkovic, in: The Medieval Review,15.04.07 Based on an extensive source analysis, this book provides the biographical information of all early medieval Venetians, thus offering an invaluable research tool for the history of Venice. Review "(...) the information that [this volume] conveys is detailed, comprehensive, and thought-provoking. If it does no more than provide accessible evidence to support new arguments and suggest ways to process it, this work will have contributed substantially to the scholarly discourse on socio-political and cultural formation in early medieval Venice, in the Mediterranean, and in Europe."

C’est aux diverses modalités de cette «incarnation» qu’était consacré le colloque international organisé à l’Université de Namur en mai 2012, dont les contributions sont ici réunies. Cette rencontre fut à la fois l’occasion de faire le point sur les connaissances déjà acquises sur la fabrication de la Bible de l’Antiquité tardive au XVe siècle, et d’ouvrir de nouvelles pistes de recherche. La perspective adoptée se veut globale et comparative, et met en lumière la diversité des solutions retenues pour répondre aux problèmes posés par la réalisation matérielle du texte sacré selon les époques et les contrées, des premières bibles pandectes à la diffusion des bibles incunables.

Catalogues 5 In production Les manuscrits décrits dans ce volume présentent des textes de genres divers dont la date de composition est toujours postérieure au XIIe siècle. Avec quelques exceptions, ces textes furent rédigés et étudiés en Espagne, en Provence, en Italie et dans l’empire byzantin. Les cinq premiers manuscrits (704 à 708) portent des commentaires sur le Guide des égarés ou d’autres écrits relatifs à Maïmonide. On relève également, dans le même domaine, cinq exemplaires des Guerres du Seigneur de Gersonide (721 à 725). D’autres œuvres, mêlant kabbale et philosophie, sont inédites et encore trop peu connues : la Pierre de Saphir, d’Elnathan Qalqish (727 et 728); la Perfection de la beauté, de Samuel Ṣarsa (729 à 732); les Demeures de Jacob, de Jacob ben Salomon Ṣarfati (Hébreu 733), livre en partie autobiographique et copie autographe qui renvoient à la Provence du XIVe siècle. Plusieurs volumes sont consacrés à la morale et à l’explication des commandements. Parmi eux, figurent deux copies d’un ouvrage du kabbaliste Yosef Giqatilia (713 et 714) et quatre des Degrés des vertus de Yeḥiel ben Yequtiel ‘Anav (715 à 718), livre qui connut un grand succès en Italie. Deux manuscrits renvoient à l’aire ashkénaze (709 et 712).

Les copies sont de diverses provenances: neuf ont été produites en Italie, six dans l’aire byzantine, cinq en Espagne ou dans l’aire séfarade, deux dans l’aire ashkénaze, une en Provence, une à Constantinople. Cette collection comporte un nombre important de copies des oeuvres de deux grands commentateurs qui figurent toujours dans les grandes Bibles rabbiniques: Abraham Ibn Ezra (dix manuscrits) et David ben Joseph Qimḥi (huit manuscrits).

Catalogues 8 In production Le huitième volume de la collection offre la description complète – paléographique, codicologique, matérielle, historique et textuelle – des mss Hébreu 778 à Hébreu 800. Copiés en Espagne, en Italie du Nord, à Jérusalem ou dans l’espace byzantin, entre le XIVe et le XVIe siècle, ces manuscrits portent, pour la plupart, des copies de diverses parties de la littérature zoharique. Les autres textes copiés dans ces manuscrits sont principalement des écrits de mystique juive des XIIIe et XIVe siècles. MANUSCRIPT STUDIES Ce livre offre un genre d’étude différent dans la recherche sur les illustrations dans les manuscrits hébreux, recherche qui concerne habituellement leur iconographie et leurs sources. Ses sept chapitres montrent que la lecture des illustrations avec un regard dégagé des habitudes, à la lumière des événements de l’époque où elles ont été créées, leur confère une dimension complémentaire en les transformant en outil dans l’étude de l’histoire juive, jusqu’ici fondée sur des textes et des documents d’archives. Dans les exemples étudiés (ainsi, les illustrations dans les manuscrits liés au scribe et enlumineur Joël ben Siméon), ce regard révèle qu’imperceptible à la lecture traditionnelle, se cache un reflet des relations complexes entre juifs et chrétiens.

In moving away from theoretical debates about what the field of digital humanities is or should be, we present a clearer picture of what textual scholars can achieve when they use computers for their research needs and purposes, and what their expectations may be in terms of the technology and developments in computational methodology. A workshop was held in February 2012 in Madrid to stimulate a debate on textual criticism centred on the analysis of Byzantine texts and their modes of publication, rewriting and diffusion. The main aim was to provide future editors or scholars of the history of texts with a rich typology of concepts to guide their task, such as interpolation, paraphrasis, metaphrasis, quotation, collection, amplification or falsification, among others, but always taking into account that the principles upon which the discipline of textual criticism was founded needed to be reconsidered when dealing with the transmission of Byzantine texts. The results of the different approaches put forward by the contributors offer a broad palette of methodological strategies that are, to a great extent, complementary, and will, so we hope, illuminate the task of the future editors with new reflections.

Calabi, O. Munnich, G. Reydams-Schils, E. Vimercati (ed.) In production B. Neil and P. Allen consider Gelasius’ letters on various problems of his time, such as displaced persons, persecution, ransoming captives, papal property management, … This approach rounds out the existing portrait of Gelasius, and make a contribution to a new history of the late-antique papacy, which will revise the view that Gregory the Great was a stand-alone micro-manager without precedent. Comparisons with earlier fifth-century popes like Innocent I and Leo I, and with later popes like Hormisdas and Pelagius I, show the trajectory from Gelasius to Gregory I. Ce volume d’hommages à Patrick Laurence, spécialiste des Pères de l’Église, mais aussi de la condition féminine et du droit dans l’Empire romain tardif, rassemble vingt-trois études, réparties en trois rubriques. La première traite des femmes dans l’Antiquité, depuis quelques figures mythiques ou réelles dans la littérature (Homère, Cicéron, Virgile, Ovide, saint Jérôme, Robert Garnier) jusqu’aux institutions familiales (selon Cassiodore). La deuxième offre diverses analyses de l’art de la lettre chez des auteurs tels que saint Jérôme encore, Sidoine Apollinaire ou Juste Lipse. La troisième est consacrée à l’univers biblique: interprétations chrétiennes de modèles anciens, vies de saints (sainte Barbe, saint Martin de Tours), questions d’ecdotique, relecture contemporaine enfin chez le Hongrois Miklós Hubay.

Termini, ‘Il mio scettro è il libro dell’Epinomide’ (Spec. 4.164): monarchia divina e democrazia nello speculum principis di Filone di Alessandria TEXT & AUTHOR Pour saisir les différences et parentés entre les auteurs chrétiens de l’Antiquité tardive, il peut être très fructueux de comparer leurs manières d’interpréter les Écritures. L’épître aux Galates est spécialement intéressante dans cette perspective, étant donné les questions fondamentales qui y sont engagées : le conflit d’Antioche, l’attitude de Paul à l’égard de la Loi, sa doctrine de la justification, ses explications sur l’allégorie d’Agar et Sara, ainsi que sa défense de la liberté chrétienne. Ce volume est le fruit d’un séminaire dépendant du Laboratoire d’études sur les monothéismes (CNRS/EPHE) et du Département d’études patristiques du Centre Sèvres – Facultés jésuites de Paris. This book brings together views from various disciplines on the concept of authority in Greek and Latin literature from Antiquity to the Renaissance. More specifically it deals with the questions how texts attempt to gain authority, and if and how they use— or abuse—earlier writings in the construction of their own authority. Moreover, this volume examines to what extent a text’s authoritative claims influence its transmission and reception and how these claims themselves are subject to evolution over time. In this context, special attention is devoted to compilation literature, such as anthologies and commonplace books. Table des matières Contributors B. Flusin, I. De Vos, S. Morlet, J. Mansfeld, U.

The series will also include the aftermath of Byzantine history and culture ("Byzance après Byzance") and the interaction between Byzantium and the East, such as with Arabs and Persians, as well as between Byzantium and the West, such as with the Pope and Latin-speaking people.

On the contrary, this volume illuminates texts and theological genres which have so far remained unexplored or under-investigated by the vast majority of scholars. Whilst unlocking the as yet unknown troves of florilegia, religious poetry, and monastic kephalaia, this volume investigates the cultural background of these different endeavors and provides an image of Byzantine theological literature which repudiates the rigid narratives proposed to date.

Review “It takes courage to make Psellos’ Chronographia the subject of major study. Not only has the scholarly world been awaiting such a study for decades, but many editions needed for making a full investigation of Psellos are also still lacking. Initial steps for any major enquiry into his works are therefore quite difficult. In this revised version of his thesis, Frederick Lauritzen has produced such a study and it yields new and important results.” Christian Høgel, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review, October 2014, 2014.10.11 12 Contributors D.

It combines the expertise of linguists and scholars of Byzantine literature to challenge the assumption that learned mediaeval Greek is merely the weary continuation of ancient Greek or, worse still, a poor imitation of it, while proposing that it needs to be treated as a literary idiom in its own right.

The notion that theology and scripture are inextricably connected in early Christian thinking has become a scholarly commonplace in contemporary patristic scholarship. But the nature of the connection has been less than clear, particularly with respect to Diodore’s commentary on Psalms 1-50. B. Wayman argues that a specific account of πρόνοια (cooperative, reciprocal, and immanent.) supplies Diodore’s primary theological framework for interpreting the Psalms by generating the questions he asks of the text and shaping his view of other themes in the Psalms. Review "(...) la recherche de l'A. (...) invite à porter un regard neuf sur le commentaire de Diodore. On lui saura gré d'avoir su réunir sous le concept théologique de Providence l'apport des études antérieures consacrées à la méthode herméneutique de l'Antiochien et à sa conception d'un "sens supérieur" de l'histoire – la θεωρία –, d'obliger certains critiques à réviser leurs jugements sur la dimension doctrinale du commentaire, et d'inviter la communauté scientifique à en faire une lecture profondément renouvelée."

El libro presenta las Actas del Coloquio anual de la FIDEM 2012, que se celebró del 20 al 22 de junio de 2012 en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid organizado por el Departamento de Filología Latina. Los autores, especialistas de más de treinta universidades y centros de investigación, ofrecen un completo panorama sobre las investigaciones que se están llevando a cabo en torno a las compilaciones medievales. In this volume, which draws on the proceedings of the ‘Medieval Letters between Fiction and Document’ conference held in Siena in 2013, scholars analyse the historical value of medieval letters in both Latin and other European languages and explore different approaches to the field. Comprising contributions on methodology, Latin literature up to the fifteenth century, Byzantine and Romance literature, and courtly letters, this unique book also documents the debate on unedited texts — including women’s love letters — and on celebrated cases of disputed authorship such as the Epistolae duorum amantium and Dante’s Epistola to Cangrande. It thus offers a significant re-evaluation of the huge and partly unpublished heritage of medieval letters across Europe, and provides important insights into the use of these unique sources in social, literary, and legal history.

Homme de savoir et d'action, Jacques nous a laissé dans des écrits variés et nombreux le témoignage de ses expériences: l'étudiant parisien, le chanoine régulier du prieuré d'Oignies, le prédicateur de la croisade contre les Albigeois et les Sarrasins, l'évêque d'Acre acteur de la cinquième croisade, le cardinal de l'Eglise romaine. On découvre ainsi une personnalité complexe et attachante chez laquelle trois traits de caractère ne cessent de se répondre: la passion de l'étude associée à l'acuité du regard; l'ambition de servir; la recherche d'une voie spirituelle patiemment explorée au fil de l'expérience et de l'âge.

Review "Une bibliographie (1627 titres!), un index des textes bibliques, des apocryphes de l'A. et du N. T., des textes anciens, un index des auteurs modernes, un index géographique, un autre des fêtes liturgiques et une table des illustrations complètent cet ouvrage dont l'impeccable présentation est conforme à la tradition des Éditions Brepols. Notre recension ne peut donner qu'un aperçu de son extraordinaire richesse. Parions que l'on ne tardera pas à oublier son titre pour ne retenir que le nom de son auteur. Quand il s'agira de connaître le destin de l'un ou l'autre des Douze, on devra consulter impérativement et pendant très longtemps le Burnet." TEXT & AUTHOR L’objet de cet ouvrage collectif est d’étudier quelques moments majeurs des interprétations et usages des Seconds Analytiques d’Aristote. Il n’entre pas dans les débats contemporains concernant le texte même d’Aristote et n’examine que de façon marginale les premiers commentaires grecs; il a pour objet premier leur transmission ultérieure jusque dans l’occident médiéval. Dans ce parcours, il prend en compte le monde byzantin et le monde arabe. Une grande partie de l’ouvrage est ensuite consacrée aux XIIIe et XIVe siècles en Occident médiéval, mais on trouvera aussi quelques études examinant la place des Seconds Analytiques chez quelques humanistes italiens ou dans le nominalisme du début du XVIe siècle.

Among them one may find the Protodeutera (861), the Council of Constantinople of 879, the Tomus Unionis (920), the Local Synods of Constantinople against the Syro-Jacobites (1030) and against John Italos (1082), the Council on ‘My Father is greater than me’ (1166), on the Filioque (1285) and on Palamas (1341-1351), the Synod of 1484, annulling the so-called union of Florence, the Synods about Lucaris, the Panorthodox Synods of Jerusalem (1672) and Constantinople (1872), the Local Synods of Constantinople (1691 and 1755), and additional materials, like the Patriarchal decision of annullment of the Excommunications between Rome and Constantinople (paralleled in COGD 3). It also includes the first publication of five synodika of Orthodoxy: the Georgian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Russian and Greek synodikon with a new edition of the oldest surviving version of the latter (11th c.), which was the basis for the subsequent translations. Moreover, the volume will present the Conciliar tradition of the Patriarchate of Moscow and of all Russias, including the Stoglav (1551), and the Councils of Moscow of 1666/7 and 1917/8 and more recent Councils of the 21st Century.

Melloni (ed.) B. Coulie (ed.) The Florilegium Coislinianum is a Byzantine anthology dated to the ninth or tenth century. It deals with subjects ranging from the creation of angels to sin and virtues. Although it is an important document, it has only recently received full attention from the scholarly community. The present edition is the editio princeps of the first and longest book of the Florilegium Coislinianum. It is based upon a detailed examination of all the known witnesses of the florilegium, and a thorough comparison with its sources. The philological introduction studies the manuscript tradition and the relationship between the manuscripts, explains the orthographical peculiarities of the tradition, defines the ratio edendi and discusses the most relevant textual corruptions of the archetype.

Series Graeca 75 The Sacrum Armamentarium by Andronikos Kamateros is one of the most important and voluminous remaining Byzantine inedita from the 12th century. Written for Emperor Manuel Komnenos (1143-1180), this writing is a ‘stockpile’ of theological texts to be used in refuting the theological arguments of the opponents of the Orthodox Church. This volume presents the first critical edition of the first, i.e. anti-Latin part of the text. The topics under discussion in this part cover two of the points of disagreement between Catholicism and Orthodoxy: the primacy of the Roman Church and the procession of the Holy Spirit, the Filioque. Review "(...) In sum, an edition of this quality brings with it the potential for tremendous progress on a subject that seems to be interesting more people with each passing year. It is an extraordinary and brilliant piece of work." Tia M. Kolbaba, in: The Medieval Review, 15.08.10 Les discours de Grégoire de Nazianze (330-390) ont été traduits en géorgien à plusieurs reprises, et ont donné lieu à des commentaires nombreux. Cinq volumes ont déjà été publiés de ces versions géorgiennes (Corpus Christianorum. Series Graeca, 36, 42, 45, 52 et 58 = Corpus Nazianzenum, 5, 9, 12, 17 et 20), contenant, dans l'ordre, les discours 1, 45, 44, 41, 15, 24, 19, 38, 43, 39 et 40, qui suivent l'ordre liturgique des discours, en géorgien comme en grec. Les discours 11, 21 et 42, qui viennent ensuite dans l'ordre liturgique, font l'objet de ce sixième volume. Ces trois discours existent dans deux versions géorgiennes différentes, dues respectivement à Euthyme l'Hagiorite et à Ephrem Mtsire. Le volume contient, outre une introduction, le texte critique des deux discours dans leurs deux versions géorgiennes, un apparat critique détaillé et des notes comparant le texte géorgien à son modèle grec.

Series Graeca 79 The Etymologicum Symeonis is an important Byzantine dictionary, which was compiled in the first half of the twelfth century and is extant in two redactions, each preserved in two manuscripts: Etym. Sym. proper, and Magna Grammatica. The latter is a version of the Etym. Symeonis that was enlarged, around the middle of the thirteenth century, on the basis of the Etymologicum Magnum. With letters Α and Β already published in 1969 and 1972, the critical edition of the following three letters of the Etym. Symeonis was a long-time desideratum in Classical and Byzantine studies, and opens up another part of this important text for scholarly research. Review "This is a high-quality edition, both with regard to the editorial and printing aspects. It is to be hoped that Baldi, or others, will continue the task and finally achieve the complete publication of Symeon's work." Ian C. Cunningham, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2014.01.14 E.

The Greek text is preceded by a detailed analysis of the manuscript tradition. Special attention is also given to the indirect tradition of this ethical treatise. The reason is that Nicephorus' treatise has been included in full in the Synopsis Variarum Disciplinarum by the philosopher-monk Joseph Rhacendytes (ca. 1260-1330). The main difference is the addition by Joseph of a passage from Maximus the Confessor’s Ad sanctissimum presbyterum Marinum (CPG 7697.1) after the introductory part of Blemmydes’ De virtute et ascesi. Joseph’s De virtute is presented here for the first time in a critical edition. SOURCE TEXTS & TRANSLATIONS I. D. Polemis (ed.)

The poems of Metochites, both in their entirety and each one of them separately, are a curious mixture of various genres (autobiography, ekphrasis, letter, hagiographical praise), which testify to their author's wide range of interests and his bold attempt to renovate the traditional patterns of Byzantine poetry. Some poems are addressed to his friends (e.g. Nikephoros Kallistos Xanthopoulos or Leo Vardales), but most of them are addressed to the author himself. Metochites was quite pessimistic about the situation of the state and of his own affairs, and gave expression to his inner feelings of frustration and sadness in a rather unrestrained manner. While several poems had been published in the past (in editions that are either difficult to obtain or not entirely adequate), this is the first full edition of Metochites’ Carmina. In the introduction the editor also sketches a balanced portrait of Metochites as a poet, underlining both his merits and his limitations. J. Grand'Henry (ed.) ably be identified with the homonymous student of Maximos Planoudes. Merkourios composed four dodecasyllabic poems with a total of ca 2,190 verses: two hagiographical metaphrases concerning St Theodore Teron and St Theodore Stratelates, a rewriting of a pseudo-Chrysostomic homily on the Annunciation and a iambic canon on St John Chrysostom. The edition is preceded by an original introduction on the poet and his poems. The final chapter presents the editorial principles. The establishment of the text is accompanied by detailed apparatuses, mainly the critical apparatus as well as the apparatus of sources and significant parallel passages. A series of indices completes the work. CORPUS CHRISTIANORUM IN TRANSLATION The series Corpus Christianorum in Translation provides modern translations of patristic and medieval Greek and Latin texts that have been edited in one of the Corpus Christianorum series (Series Latina, Series Graeca and Continuatio Mediaevalis). These translations, which are published independently from the critical editions, are intended to render the texts edited in Corpus Christianorum accessible to those who do not have the opportunity to read them in the original language. For those conversant with the original language, the translations can serve as a tool for quick reference and an aid in interpreting the Greek or Latin text.

Elle se distingue par sa composition en deux volets (réfutation rationnelle et réfutation scripturaire) et par la richesse de sa documentation (on y dénombre quelque 150 «citations manichéennes»). Préservé en grec aux deux-tiers et intégralement dans une version syriaque de la fin du IVe ou du début du Ve siècle, cet ouvrage est d’une importance capitale pour l’histoire de la théologie chrétienne ancienne et du manichéisme. Ce volume offre une double traduction française annotée du grec et du syriaque, la première dans une langue moderne, établie sur une base philologique sûre. L’édition critique gréco-syriaque et sa traduction française permettent désormais une nouvelle approche des sources manichéennes et de leur réfutation. Le texte qui a servi de base à cette traduction est celui qui a paru en 2013 dans la Series Graeca du Corpus Christianorum comme volume 82. J. L. Papandrea Novatian On the Trinity, Letters to Cyprian of Carthage, Ethical Treatises 216 p., 156 x 234 mm, 2015, PB, ISBN 978-2-503-54491-5, € 50 Language: English Series: Corpus Christianorum in Translation (CCT 22) The semi-encyclopaedic Thesaurus or Treasury was composed in the middle of the thirteenth century by a little-known spiritual author called Theognostos. It was intended to provide an overview of the sort of knowledge considered essential for a young prince, as one chapter is an exhortation to a future emperor. Thus, it contains a summary of the Old Testament, with curious reflections (e.g. on female wickedness and the ingenuity of Solomon), chapters on dogmatic questions, moral exhortations attributed partly to Amphilochios and backed by pious stories, florilegia and some questions-and-answers. In general, the work opens a window into the mind of the ordinary believer in mediaeval Constantinople. The source text of this volume appeared in 1979 in the Corpus Christianorum Series graeca as volume 5. Novatian was a priest of Rome in the third century who wrote a commentary on the Rule of Faith, commonly titled, On the Trinity. Although the document is not well known outside of the field of early Christian studies, it made an important contribution to the doctrine of the Trinity in the early Church, and as several scholars have maintained, it helped set the stage for the definition of the faith known as the Nicene Creed. Novatian would eventually find himself at the center of a controversy which led to a schism of the Church, and so his works were relegated to obscurity for centuries. However, in its time, Novatian’s On the Trinity was the epitome of Roman theology, and as some have argued, it was even ahead of its time. This new translation contains the complete works of Novatian translated into English, with an introduction and full bibliography of Novatian studies. It takes into account the latest scholarship on Novatian, and brings the documents up to a new level of clarity and readability. The source text of this volume was edited in 1972 by G. F. Diercks as volume 4 in the Corpus Christianorum Series Latina. SOURCE TEXTS & TRANSLATIONS Il s'agit ici de l'édition critique de la version arabe des discours 11 (à Grégoire de Nysse) et 41 (sur la Pentecôte) de Grégoire de Nanzianze. Dans la majorité des cas, on peut constater que le texte de la version arabe du discours 11 suit le texte grec de la famille m plutôt que celui de la famille grecque n, mais avec de nombreuses particularités propres à la version arabe, en particulier celles qui apparaissent dans deux manuscripts du Sinaï parmi les plus ancients de la version arabe de Grégoire. Pour éditer la version arabe du discours 41 (sur la Pentecôte), on dispose de deux familles de manuscripts, la branche égyptosinaïtique et la branche syrienne ou syro-libanaise, branches qui présentent dans le discours 41 arabe de nombreux traits qui les opposent l’une à l’autre. En ce qui concerne les rapports de cette version arabe avec le texte grec original, on constate que dans certains cas, la famille arabe x syrienne ou syro-libanaise a tendance à suivre la famille n de manuscripts grecs, tandis que la famille arabe xyz a tendance à suivre la famille m de manucripts grecs.

These letters constitute an indispensable source for the early history of the territories conquered during and just after the Fourth Crusade of 1204, for which almost no local archival material survives. The Latin texts of many of the letters are published here for the first time, and almost all the letters have been reedited from the manuscripts, primarily the papal registers in the Vatican Archives. In addition, the volume makes the letters available to non-specialists through a lengthy historical introduction, exhaustive English summaries of all the letters and complete translations of the most significant ones. Maps, tables, indices, and a guide to papal letters make the volume a useful tool for future studies of this fascinating and controversial phase in the history of Greece and the papacy. The Syriac Pseudo-Clementines. An Early Version of the First Christian Novel 352 p., 3 b/w ill., 120 x 190 mm, 2014, PB, ISBN 978-2-503-55111-1, € 55 Language: English Series: Apocryphes 4 The Pseudo-Clementines were popular reading throughout the Middle Ages in a Latin translation and reemerged in early modern times via vernacular versions and especially the Faust-legend. Often considered the first and only ancient Christian novel, the Pseudo-Clementines originated in Syrian Jewish-Christianity in the early third century. Two ancient Syriac translations from the fourth century reflect Greek texts no longer preserved; they contain the essence of Clement’s biographical account and of Peter’s teachings and debates with Simon. Of particular interest is Peter’s detailed review of the origins of Christianity, which apparently seeks to rebut the canonical Acts of the Apostles and lays the blame for the unbelief of the Jews squarely at the feet of Paul. This volume presents the first complete translation of the Syriac into any modern language and thereby opens the door for a new stage of historical research and literary appreciation. T. Abraha (ed.)

This volume publishes a new Coptic handbook of ritual power, comprising a complete 20 page parchment codex from the second half of the first millennium AD. It consists of an invocation including both Christian and Gnostic elements, ritual instructions, and a list of twenty-seven spells to cure demonic possession, various ailments, the effects of magic, or to bring success in love and business. The codex is not only a substantial new addition to the corpus of magical texts from Egypt, but, in its opening invocation, also provides new evidence for Sethian Gnostic thought in Coptic texts. A Coptic Handbook of Ritual Power is the first volume in the series The Macquarie Papyri, which will publish the papyri in the collection of the Museum of Ancient Cultures, Macquarie University (Sydney, Australia). Dans la deuxième évangélisation de l’Éthiopie, qui suivit la restauration des souverains salomonides, la province septentrionale du Tigré occupa une place prépondérante; le Wāldebbā, district aride et désolé de cette région, est célèbre par sa vie monastique intense (toujours florissante de nos jours). Le plus connu de ses anachorètes fut Samuel, «l’ami des bêtes sauvages»; en plus d’être remarquablement versé dans l’exégèse sacrée, ce saint personnage vécut en effet toute sa vie dans la familiarité des lions, des léopards et des éléphants. Une carrière aussi singulière et éclatante fut narrée, dès après la mort de Samuel, par une Vie (gadl) haute en couleurs. Un demi-siècle plus tard, environ l’an 1500, elle fut définitivement enrichie d’une série de 70 miracles qui fait de l’œuvre une des plus riches de l’hagiographie éthiopienne. L’édition du gadl et des Miracles est fondée sur l’unique manuscrit, encore conservé dans le monastère du saint, qui renferme la totalité du texte. 59 p., 180 x 265 mm, 2010, PB, ISBN 978-2-503-54158-7, € 30 Languages: Ethiopic, Italian 231 (52.1) C.

La théologie byzantine Limited number of reprints NEW LA THÉOLOGIE BYZANTINE ET SA TRADITION se propose d’offrir au monde universitaire et au public cultivé une première mise au point d’envergure et un instrument de travail fondamental pour entreprendre des recherches approfondies dans ce domaine. C’est la raison pour laquelle un soin particulier a été accordé à la prosopographie, à la constitution de répertoires complets des œuvres de chaque auteur considéré – cette section constitue l’esquisse d’une Clavis Auctorum Byzantinorum, sur le modèle de la Clavis Patrum Graecorum de M. Geerard et J. Noret –, au repérage des manuscrits pour les œuvres inedites, à l’exhaustivité et à la présentation critique des bibliographies en langues occidentales et orientales, à l’élaboration d’indices détaillés. Pour illustrer l’exposé sur la doctrine des auteurs traités, partie centrale de chaque contribution, l’ouvrage présente également un grand nombre de textes pour la première fois traduits ou edités de façon critique. "These volumes will become indispensable works of reference for all interested in the tradition of Byzantine theology ... The real interest of this volume lies in the immense detail it provides, and it is scarcely possible to do more than mention the wealth of detail in a brief review." A.
