  2. Summa theologica Halensis : De legibus et praeceptis Lateinischer Text mit Übersetzung und Kommentar

    So far, only the Latin text in a critical edition from the year 1948 has been available from the law treaty of the Summa Halensis. With the three-volume publication, a German translation and a commentary on this important work in the transition from early modern to high scholasticism will be presented together with the Latin text for the first time. From a conceptual point of view, this treatise was fundamental in its foundation and development of the different manifestations of the law - as eternal law, natural law, Mosaic law and evangelical law. His extensive interpretation of the Mosaic Law also has concrete references to the world of life and belief, which are revealing for the cultural and social history of this time. Also regarding the turning to the Torah in the current theology and in the context of the interreligious and socio-political discourses over the understanding of the law deserves attention the law council of the Summa Halensis, because he in many respects to the reflection over the function (s) of the law as well as the context of theology and law. Von dem Gesetzestraktat der Summa Halensis lag bislang nur der lateinische Text in einer kritischen Edition aus dem Jahr 1948 vor. Mit der dreibändigen Publikation werden nun erstmals zusammen mit dem lateinischen Text auch eine deutsche Übersetzung und ein Kommentar zu diesem bedeutenden Werk im Übergang von der Früh- zur Hochscholastik vorgelegt. In konzeptioneller Hinsicht war dieser Traktat mit seiner Begründung und Entfaltung der unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen des Gesetzes - als ewiges Gesetz, Naturgesetz, mosaisches Gesetz und evangelisches Gesetz - grundlegend. Seine umfangreiche Auslegung des mosaischen Gesetzes weist zudem konkrete Bezüge zur Lebens- und Glaubenswelt auf, die für die Kultur- und Sozialgeschichte dieser Zeit aufschlussreich sind. Auch im Blick auf die Hinwendung zur Tora in der gegenwärtigen Theologie und im Zusammenhang mit den interreligiösen und gesellschaftspolitischen Diskursen über das Gesetzesverständnis verdient der Gesetzestraktat der Summa Halensis Beachtung, weil er in vielfältiger Hinsicht zur Reflexion über die Funktion(en) des Gesetzes sowie den Zusammenhang von Theologie und Recht anregt.

    Why did human beings first begin to write history? Lisa Irene Hau argues that a driving force among Greek historians was the desire to use the past to teach lessons about the present and for the future. She uncovers the moral messages of the ancient Greek writers of history and the techniques they used to bring them across. Hau also shows how moral didacticism was an integral part of the writing of history from its inception in the 5th century BC, how it developed over the next 500 years in parallel with the development of historiography as a genre and how the moral messages on display remained surprisingly stable across this period.

     

     

    For the ancient Greek historiographers, moral didacticism was a way of making sense of the past and making it relevant to the present; but this does not mean that they falsified events: truth and morality were compatible and synergistic ends.

    Current preoccupations with the body have led to a growing interest in the intersections between religion, literature and the history of medicine, and, more specifically, how they converge within a given culture. This collection of essays explores the ways in which aspects of medieval culture were predicated upon an interaction between medical and religious discourses, particularly those inflected by contemporary gendered ideologies. The essays interrogate this convergence broadly in a number of different ways: textually, conceptually, historically, socially and culturally. They argue for an inextricable relationship between the physical and spiritual in accounts of health, illness and disability, and demonstrate how medical, religious and gender discourses were integrated in medieval culture. Naoë Kukita Yoshikawa is Professor of English in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Shizuoka University.

    Today’s visitors to Pompeii and Herculaneum encounter a vast profusion of written evidence. Painted announcements stand alongside inscribed notices and monumental stone inscriptions. The content is as varied as the conditions of creation and situations that once confronted the ancient reader. This demonstrates in singular fashion the interconnections between the context, action, content, and materiality of the texts.

    This volume is the first to systematically analyze ancient narrative theory in German. The guiding principle is the theory that, although ancient authors like Aristotle were the forerunners of the modern categories of narrative theories, many concepts have been reinterpreted in the course of their reception. It is against this backdrop that this monograph identifies the specific features of ancient narrative theory.

    A crucial question throughout the Middle Ages, the relationship between body and spirit cannot be understood without an interdisciplinary approach – combining literature, philosophy and medicine. Gathering contributions by leading international scholars from these disciplines, the collected volume explores themes such as lovesickness, the five senses, memory and passions, in order to shed new light on the complex nature of the medieval Self.

    Is time gendered? This international, interdisciplinary anthology studies the early modern era to analyse how material objects express, shape, complicate, and extend human concepts of time and how people commemorate time differently. It examines conceptual aspects of time, such as the categories women and men use to define it, and the somatic, lived experiences of time ranging between an instant and the course of family life. Drawing on a wide array of textual and material primary sources, this book assesses the ways thatgender and other categories of difference affect understandings of time.

    The influence of later medieval fraciscans on subsequent scholarly developments has been widely acknowledged. However, the legacy of early fraciscan thought, as it developed in fraciscan thinkers who worked in the first half of the 13th century, remains unknown. Leading scholars of both periods illustrate the role that the early fraciscan tradition played in forming the later fraciscan tradition and the traditions that it influenced in turn.

    "Polyphony and the Modern asks one fundamental question: what does it mean to be modern in one’s own time? To answer that question, this volume focuses on polyphony as an index of modernity.

    In the Principle of Hope, Ernst Bloch showed that each moment in time is potentially fractured: people living in the same country can effectively live in different centuries – some making their alliances with the past and others betting on the future – but all of them, at least technically, enclosed in the temporal moment. But can a claim of modernity also mean something more ambitious? Can an artist, by accident or design, escape the limits of his or her own time, and somehow precociously embody the outlook of a subsequent age?

    This book sees polyphony as a bridge providing a terminology and a stylistic practice by which the period barrier between Medieval and Early Modern can be breached."

    Il rythmus caudatus continens è una tipologia metrica attestata nel Medioevo dalle Artes rythmicae latine e diffusa nelle letterature francese, provenzale, italiana e catalana, in un periodo che va dal XII al XV secolo e oltre. Pur senza costituire un genere letterario, i testi scritti in rythmus caudatus continens presentano, nelle diverse letterature, importanti somiglianze tematiche. Questo libro offre una sintesi della circolazione del metro partendo dallo studio dei testi composti nell’area galloromanza, che intreccia analisi metrico-stilistica, contenutistica e filologica. Vengono così descritte le costanti e i punti di snodo della tradizione, e presentate delle ipotesi sul modo in cui il rythmus caudatus continens è stato trasmesso alle letterature italiana e catalana, costituendosi in tal modo come un elemento importante della coesione del sistema letterario europeo del Medioevo.

    Als herausragendes Beispiel mittelalterlicher Bibliothekskataloge gilt der um 1475 angelegte Katalog der Erfurter Kartause. Für ihn entstand zeitgleich ein einführendes Prohemium longum. Das Prohemium longum ist ein wichtiger Text geistlicher Literatur und erweist sich als bedeutender Beitrag zum Verständnis kartäusischer Spiritualität am Ausgang des Mittelalters. Die vorliegende Arbeit liefert die erstmalige und vollständige Edition seines lateinischen Texts. Ergänzt wird diese mit Untersuchungen zu Fragen des Textverständnisses: Was weiss man über den Verfasser? Mit welcher Intention schrieb er? Ein Kapitel widmet sich der Kompilationsmethode, mit der das Prohemium verfasst wurde, ein weiteres der Darstellungsweise. Schliesslich gehen drei umfangreiche Abschnitte zentralen Begriffen des Texts und deren zeitgenössischer Bewertung nach: ignorancia, theologia mistica und lectio et studium.

    The Rubáiyát by the Persian poet ‘Umar Khayyæm (1048-1131) is used in contemporary Iran as a resistance literature, symbolizing the secularist voice in cultural debates. While Islamic fundamentalists criticize Khayyæm as an atheist and materialist philosopher who questions God’s creation and the promise of reward or punishment in the hereafter, secularist intellectuals see in him an example of a scientist who scrutinizes the mysteries of the world. Others see a spiritual master, a Sufi, who guides people to the truth. This volume collects eighteen essays on the history of the reception of ‘Umar Khayyæm in various literary traditions, exploring how his philosophy of doubt, carpe diem, hedonism, and in vino veritas has inspired generations of poets, novelists, painters, musicians, calligraphers and film-makers. Weinig niet-Europeanen hebben zo’n invloed gehad op de Westerse poëzie als Omar Khayyam. De Perzische wetenschapper en dichter die leefde van 1048 tot 1131 kreeg cultstatus na de vertaling van zijn gedichten in de negentiende eeuw. In 1859 vertaalde Edward FitzGerald Khayyams verzameling kwatrijnen, de “Rubáiyát” geheten in het Engels. Daarna werden ze vanuit het Engels naar vele andere talen vertaald en herdicht.In het hedendaags Iran wordt Khayyam gezien als een stem in het verzet tegen de religieuze staat; hij staat symbool voor de secularisten in culturele debatten. In het westen wordt hij vooral geassocieerd met spiritualiteit en diepzinnige levenswijsheden die verscholen zijn in ogenschijnlijk eenvoudige kwatrijnen. In het boek hebben achttien wetenschappers uit verschillende literaire tradities de receptie van Khayyam onderzocht, waarbij zij aandacht besteden aan zijn filosofie van twijfel, carpe diem, hedonisme, en in vino veritas.

    Books before print – manuscripts – were modified continuously throughout the medieval period. Focusing on the ninth and twelfth centuries, this volume explores such material changes as well as the varying circumstances under which handwritten books were produced, used and collected. An important theme is the relationship between the physical book and its users. Can we reflect on reading practices through an examination of the layout of a text? To what extent can we use the contents of libraries to understand the culture of the book? The volume explores such issues by focusing on a broad palette of texts and through a detailed analysis of manuscripts from all corners of Europe. Gedurende de middeleeuwen waren manuscripten voor boeken voortdurend onderhevig aan veranderingen. Deze kwamen voort uit nieuwe inzichten in bijvoorbeeld het gebruik van koppen bij teksten of de toepassing van hoofdstuknummering.
    Met de focus op de negende en twaalfde eeuw verkent dit boek de veranderingen die er plaatshadden in de keuze van het gebruikte materiaal, maar ook de veranderende omstandigheden waaronder handgeschreven boeken werden geproduceerd, gebruikt en verzameld. Door een onderzoek naar een breed palet aan teksten en gedetailleerde analyse van handschriften uit alle hoeken van Europa onthult dit boek de relatie tussen het boek en zijn gebruikers.

    The medieval poem Cursor Mundi is a biblical verse account of the history of the world, offering a chronological overview of salvation history from Creation to Doomsday. Originating in northern England around the year 1300, the poem was frequently copied in the north before appearing in a southern version in substantially altered form. Although it is a storehouse of popular medieval biblical lore and a fascinating study in the eclectic use of more than a dozen sources, the poem has until now attracted little scholarly attention. This five-part collaborative edition presents the Arundel version of the poem with variants from three others. In addition it provides a discussion of sources and analogues, detailed explanatory notes, and a bibliography.

This five-part collaborative edition presents the Arundel version of the poem with variants from three others. In addition it provides a discussion of sources and analogues, detailed explanatory notes, and a bibliography.

    "Anglo-Saxon ‘things’ could talk. Nonhuman voices leap out from the Exeter Book Riddles, telling us how they were made or how they behave. The Franks Casket is a box of bone that alludes to its former fate as a whale that swam aground onto the shingle, and the Ruthwell monument is a stone column that speaks as if it were living wood, or a wounded body. In this book, James Paz uncovers the voice and agency that these nonhuman things have across Anglo-Saxon literature and material culture. He makes a new contribution to ‘thing theory’ and rethinks conventional divisions between animate human subjects and inanimate nonhuman objects in the early Middle Ages. Anglo-Saxon writers and craftsmen describe artefacts and animals through riddling forms or enigmatic language, balancing an attempt to speak and listen to things with an understanding that these nonhumans often elude, defy and withdraw from us. But the active role that things have in the early medieval world is also linked to the Germanic origins of the word, where a þing is a kind of assembly, with the ability to draw together other elements, creating assemblages in which human and nonhuman forces combine. 

     

    Nonhuman voices in Anglo-Saxon literature and material culture invites us to rethink the concept of voice as a quality that is not simply imposed upon nonhumans but which inheres in their ways of existing and being in the world. It asks us to rethink the concept of agency as arising from within groupings of diverse elements, rather than always emerging from human actors alone."
