Histoire intellectuelle de l'Occident médiéval
Author: Jacques PaulPublisher:
ISBN: 9782200016494
Category : Civilization, Medieval
Languages : fr
Pages : 423
Book Description
La culture est devenue dans la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle un enjeu essentiel de la vie politique et sociale. Elle diffuse les goûts, les idées et les règles de conduite d'un groupe dominant. Elle amplifie les nombreuses images de l'accomplissement humain et dénonce les failles. Elle assure l'intégration de ceux qui savent l'assimiler. L'histoire de la culture des civilisations anciennes ou plus proches devient un volet essentiel dans la connaissance du passé. C'est vrai du Moyen Age qui voit l'élaboration d'une culture originale, née d'une longue réflexion sur le savoir antique et les aspirations chrétiennes. Il n'est pas sans importance pour toute l'Europe que l'Eglise ait revendiqué la liberté pour elle-même, car cet affranchissement est à la racine de tous les principes de gouvernement moderne. Il est capital de savoir que l'idéal religieux a été marqué par la recherche de la pauvreté, car on peut en lire les traces aujourd'hui. Histoire intellectuelle de l'Occident médiéval rassemble autour des grands débats qui font cette histoire de la culture, du IVe au XVe siècle, tous les éléments de connaissances nécessaires : contexte politique, langues vivantes et mortes, écriture, écoles et universités, enseignements, auteurs et œuvres. Les questions les plus profondes qui se posent à l'homme n'ont-elles pas toutes été élaborées au Moyen Age ?

Medieval Sovereignty
Author: Francesco MaioloPublisher: Eburon Uitgeverij B.V.
ISBN: 9059720814
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
Medieval Sovereignty examines the idea of sovereignty in the Middle Ages and asks if it can be considered a fundamental element of medieval constitutional order. Francesco Maiolo analyzes the writings of Marsilius of Padua (1275/80-1342/43) and Bartolous of Saxoferrato (1314-57) and assesses their relative contributions as early proponents of popular sovereignty. Both are credited with having provided the legal justification for medieval popular government. Maiolo's cogent reconsideration of this primacy is an important addition to current medieval studies.

Between Saint James and Erasmus: Studies in Late-Medieval Religious Life – Devotion and Pilgrimage in the Netherlands
Author: Jan van HerwaardenPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900447367X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 744
Book Description
This volume is divided into four sections: late medieval devotion in the Netherlands; medieval Christian pilgrimage; the medieval cult of St. James the Great and Erasmiana. Variety and coherence sound the keynote in the title and the contents of the book. Religious concepts and expressions of religious faith such as pilgrimages and indulgences are representative of late-medieval Christianity. In this book they refer specifically to the medieval cult of St. James the Great, while for Erasmus they were an object of his critical consideration. The whole book can be read in the light of the debate about the tension between an appreciation for outward signs of faith, and the inward experience of religious belief, which Erasmus considered an absolute necessity.
The Forest of Medieval Romance
Author: Corinne J. SaundersPublisher: Boydell & Brewer Ltd
ISBN: 9780859913812
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Corinne J. Saunders's exploration of the topos of the forest, a familiar and ubiquitous motif in the literature of the middle ages, is a broad study embracing a range of medieval and Elizabethan exts from the twelft to the sixteenth centuries: the roman d'antiquite, Breton lay and courtly romance, the hagiographical tradition of the Vita Merlini and the Queste del Saint Graal, Spenser and Shakespeare. Saunders identifies the forest as a primary romance landscape, as a place of adventure, love, and spiritual vision... offers a pleasurable overview of the narrative function of the forest as a literary landscape. Based on a close comparative and theoretically non-partisan] reading of a broad range of literary texts drawn from the Europeqan canon, Saunders's study explores the continuity and transformation of an important motif in the corpus of medieval literature. MODERN LANGUAGE REVIEWDr CORINNE SAUNDERSteaches in the Department of English at the University of Durham. BLURBEXTRACTED FROM TLS REVIEW] ...An immense tract, not only of medieval literature but of human experience is] engagingly introduced and presented here...Corinne Saunders considers first forests in reality (a reality which keeps breaking through in romance...). She looks also at the classical and biblical models including Virgil, Statius and Nebuchadnezzar...only then does she turn to the non-real and non-Classical, i.e. the medieval and romantic. Here she follows a clear chronological plan from twelfth to fifteenth centuries also covering] the allegorized landscape of Spenser and the lovers' woods of Arden or Athens in Shakespeare. Her text-by-text layout does justice to the variety of possibilities taken up by different authors; the forest as a place where men run mad and turn into animals, a place of voluntary suffering, a focus of significance in the Grail-quests, a lovers' bower; above all and centrally, the place where the knight is tested and defined, even (as with Perceval) created.

La connaissance de l'Islam dans l'Occident médiéval
Author: Marie-Thérèse d'AlvernyPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040250831
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
This volume, the second in the series of Marie-Thérèse d’Alverny’s selected articles to be published by Variorum, gathers the majority of her studies on the understanding of Islam in the West from the early Middle Ages until the mid-13th century; some related works will be included in a further selection. In the 12th century, as she shows, a serious effort was for the first time made to learn something of the reality behind the fabulous and scurrilous stories about Muhammad and Islam. A collection of translations from Arabic, including the Koran, was commissioned in 1140 by Peter the Venerable of Cluny, and d’Alverny found the manuscript in which his secretary wrote these out. This discovery led her to explore other translations into Latin of the Koran and other Islamic texts, to identify the work of the translators Hermann of Carinthia, Robert of Ketton and Mark of Toledo, and to depict the milieu in which this work was possible.
Sealed in Parchment

ISBN: 9780226341552
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Chretien de Troyes was France's great medieval poet—inventor of the genre of courtly romance and popularizer of the Arthurian legend. The forty-four surviving manuscripts of his work (ten of them illuminated) pose a number of questions about who used these books and in what way. In Sealed in Parchment, Sandra Hindman scrutinizes both text and images to reveal what the manuscripts can tell us about medieval society and politics.
