‎Treatises of Vices and Virtues in Latin and the Vernacular‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 1993 Hardcover. 205 p., 160 x 240 mm, Languages: English, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503360683.‎


‎Newhauser's work on the genre of the treatise on vices and virtues is, in effect, an attempt to resolve a paradox of modern scholarship. We have witnessed, in the past thirty years in particular, a rapid growth in the number of studies on the vices and virtues in the Middle Ages and on individual vices or virtues or on works containing information about them - and nevertheless there is almost no scholarship on the tractatus de vitiis et virtutibus as the one medieval genre devoted exclusively to these moral constructs. Newhauser, thus, has taken on the task of establishing the genre, more or less for the first time, and this pioneering work has also essentially influenced the goals of his volume: if it is impossible at this stage to assess with finality the problems involved in the transmission of representatives of the genre due to their overwhelming number and the incompleteness of bibliographic aids to collections of medieval manuscripts, one can nevertheless begin to sketch the outlines of the genre, its historical development, and its importance within the corpus of medieval religious literature in sufficient detail and with enough attention to genre theory to serve as a guide for future research in this vast field of literature and to draw attention to some of the areas in which medievalists have much to gain by further investigations of representatives of the genre.<br>Cet ouvrage traite du genre litteraire connu sous le nom de traites sur les vices et les vertus. Il comble une lacune, car il n'existe pratiquement pas d'etude scientifique sur ces traites, bien que ceux-ci constituent le seul genre medieval consacre exclusivement a ces concepts moraux. S'il est impossible, actuellement, d'etablir avec precision les problemes souleves par la transmission des temoins a cause de leur nombre imposant et de la deficience des outils bibliographiques menant aux collections de manuscrits medievaux, on est cependant en mesure d'esquisser les caracteristiques du genre et son developpement de maniere suffisamment detaillee pour ouvrir la voie a l'etude de ce vaste domaine litteraire et pour attirer l'attention sur certaines difficultes que les medievistes rencontrent dans leurs recherches sur ce genre. Le genre litteraire decrit ici est typiquement chretien. La culture juive n'a produit que relativement peu de textes de ce type, alors qu'elle partage avec le christianisme bien d'autres expressions de litterature ethique. Le grand nombre de traites sur les vices et les vertus en milieu chretien tient essentiellement a l'evolution particuliere de l'histoire de la theologie catholique: tout d'abord par le developpement d'une spiritualite ascetique monastique, ensuite par l'importance grandissante d'une doctrine de la penitence et de la confession auriculaire, deux evolutions dans lesquelles la double structure des sept (ou huit) peches capitaux et leurs complements moraux a joue un role majeur. En general, la litterature arabe du moyen age n'a pas non plus produit des paralleles avec le genre decrit dans le present volume. L'auteur n'a pas tente d'ecrire une histoire litteraire des concepts de vices et de vertus courants en theologie morale dans le moyen age chretien. Il a fait un premier pas dans l'examen des principes organisateurs et des sources d'inspiration des traites de virtutibus et vitiis, et seulement dans‎

‎Supplement to Morton W. Bloomfield et al., 'Incipits of Latin Works on the Virtues and Vices, 1100-1500 A.D.' ,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2008 Hardback, 414 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503528571.‎


‎This volume advances the utility of Morton W. Bloomfield et al., Incipits of Latin Works on the Virtues and Vices, 1100-1500 A.D. (1979) by correcting, supplementing, adding to, or deleting information in this commonly-used reference guide to medieval Latin manuscripts of an ethical or pastoral character. Careful attention is paid to updating the identification of texts and their authorship and references to critical editions of works on the vices and virtues. Many new manuscript witnesses and over 500 new texts are added to those found in the earlier catalogue and a number of short texts on vices and virtues are edited here for the first time. Languages : Italian, English.‎
