Publishers - Livre Rare Book

‎The essays in this volume derive from the third and fourth installations of a conference dedicated to examining the ?Power of the Bishop? in the Middle Ages: ?Bishops as Diplomats? and ?The Bishop as Patron?. Taken as a collection, the volume encourages us to seek the power of the bishop in his role as a fulcrum. The essays demonstrate how the medieval bishop was asked, and sometimes used, to balance institutional and individual forces as well as being a person around whom a community revolved. In each of the examples offered here, the acts and the duties of the bishops must be balanced against the needs and the expectations of their communities. This volume also takes into consideration how the community perceived and reacted to the patronage of the bishop, as he was understood to be an arbiter of power, favour, and influence. As patrons, clients, diplomats, allies, and adversaries, bishops were required to act or be acted upon in ways that aligned with, defined, or even defied historical, social, and personal expectations of the office.‎

‎Medieval Ritual and Early Modern Music The Devotional Practice of Lauda Singing in Late-Renaissance Italy‎

‎, , 2008 Hardback, 348 p, 160 x 240 mm, Illustrations:27 b/w, English, Italian. *NEW . ISBN 9782503520667.‎

‎The polyphonic lauda had its place of prominence in the lay devotional confraternities in Italian cities in the late Middle Ages and the early modern period. A main theme of this volume is the influence of art music in devotional contexts dominated by ritual functionality, where a modern aesthetic perspective is rarely employed. The authors raise fundamental questions about the validity of such a distinction between functional simplicity and aesthetic sensibility, where the latter is usually reserved for advanced, secular genres such as opera and the madrigal. The question of an aesthetics avant la lettre as applied to devotional practices in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance is examined through analyses of records from youth confraternities in Renaissance Florence. Further, the use during the seventeenth century of the traditional genre of the lauda in settings which stylistically reflect polyphonic art music is discussed and exemplified through the publication of 19 polyphonic laude from a seventeenth-century manuscript found in the archives of the Cathedral of Florence. Combining aspects of recent scholarship in musicology, liturgical history, and confraternity studies, the authors (a musicologist and a church historian) explore both the devotional use of stylistically advanced music in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries as well as the idea that the beauty of music enhances devotion. The volume features an introduction and six chapters as well as a substantial appendix consisting of edited texts and music for several laude. ‎

‎Etruscan and Roman Hellenistic Anatomical ex voto Reassessing Popular Religious Expressions in Central Italy‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, 285 pages, 156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:78 b/w, 5 col., 1 tables b/w. English text. *NEW. ISBN 9782503612362.‎

‎Terracotta anatomical votive offerings, tangible manifestations of popular devotion in ancient Italy, have come to light in their thousands through archaeological excavations. Considered of little value by past excavators, this material was often discarded but such finds are now recognized as pointing to a phenomenon, essential for protecting health and fertility, that was widespread and deeply rooted among the Etruscan and Italic populations of the middle and late Republican eras. Drawing on archaeological evidence, the volume examines this particular expression of ancient popular religious practice, exploring not only its cultic nature but also its links to society and the economy. This material intersects with the still poorly known history of the plebeian classes of ancient Italy, for whom written sources provide scarce or no information. Analysis of the discovery locations of these offerings explores their connections to water cults, and new hypotheses are presented on typological and paleopathological aspects of the phenomenon. The result is a meticulously researched volume, available in English for the first time, that sheds new light onto votive practices in ancient Italy.‎

‎JOSQUIN.‎

‎, Brepols Publishers, 2009 softcover, XVIII 522 pages, 6 colour ill., 190 x 290 mm English. FINE ISBN 9782503566740.‎

‎A great deal of research over the past forty years has had an impact Josquin's music: most of his works are now available in high-quality recordings that make them easily familiar to any researcher, and the main sources have been far more thoroughly explored. Furthermore, new biographical findings, particularly within the last ten years, have shown that much of what was written about Josquin's life was based on documents that concerned other people entirely. For example, Josquin?s birthdate has been advanced by more than ten years, with major consequences for our view not only of his music and its chronology, but also of most other music of the time. This book assembles and assesses the newly available material. It builds the main works into the narrative of Josquin's life. Appendices include a critical listing of the documents about Josquin, a summary of later literary references to him, summaries of the relevant information about the main figures mentioned in the book, a list of other musicians at the time named ?Josquin? or something similar (35 of them!), and much more. David Fallows has taught since 1976 at the University of Manchester and was President of the International Musicological Society, 2002-7. His publications, mostly on the music of the fifteenth century, include Dufay (1982), A Catalogue of Polyphonic Songs, 1415-1480 (1999) and most recently an edition of the four-voice secular music of Josquin for the New Josquin Edition (2005). "A solid biography as well as important details of Josquin's employment, procurement of benefices, and sojourns is now firmly established. [...] Fallows avoids jargon and is not overly technical, but goes into some fascinating local contrapuntal details in selected pieces." (Stephanie P. Schlagel, in Notes: The Journal of the Music Library Association 67/3, March 2011, p. 506-508) "Fallows brings his enormous experience and knowledge of the repertory to the project. It is hard to think of anybody better qualified. His interpretation of the life and music of Josquin is in general highly credible; it is well written and for long stretches engagingly told." ‎

‎francais medieval‎

‎, Brepols, 2009 396 pages ., 5 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm,Languages: French, Paperback. ISBN 9782503532059.‎

‎Le Francais medieval est un manuel specifiquement adapte aux besoins du chercheur en histoire du Moyen Age. Evitant le recours systematique a une terminologie linguistique complexe, il se veut une introduction accessible et complete qui devrait faciliter l?acces aux textes les plus varies, quelles qu?en soient la date et l?origine geographique. Pour atteindre son objectif, l?ouvrage se divise en trois parties. La premiere est un parcours rapide, largement bibliographique et critique, de l?histoire du francais au Moyen Age. Elle insiste sur des definitions-clefs, comme celles de ? dialecte ? et de ? scripta ? , ainsi que sur la variation du francais ecrit. La deuxieme partie reproduit le mouvement de comprehension d?un texte, de l?identification des mots a l?analyse syntaxique. Enfin, une anthologie commentee de plus de cinquante extraits brosse un vaste panorama de la production textuelle en francais medieval, des sources litteraires aux documents de la pratique, du XIIe a la fin du XVe siecle.‎

‎Carlo Ambrogio Lonati Violinista, cantante e compositore nell?Europa del Seicento‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Paperback, 486 p., 178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:7 b/w, 25 col., 11 tables b/w., 4 tables col., 75 music examples, Italian text. *New . ISBN 9782503622927.‎

‎Musicista audace e poliedrico, Carlo Ambrogio Lonati stato protagonista negli ultimi decenni di una discontinua quanto disorganica riscoperta. Questa monografia propone la prima indagine a tutto tondo sulla figura e sull?opera del compositore, violinista e cantante, attivo nella seconda met del Seicento, e affronta le problematiche storiografiche e critico-interpretative che ne hanno ostacolato fino ad oggi la rivalutazione. Alla ricostruzione del percorso biografico e dell?avvincente carriera internazionale si accosta un approfondito esame della produzione musicale del compositore tramite nuovi approcci analitici e interpretativi. Le tematiche e gli interrogativi proposti non solo offriranno una prospettiva inedita su Lonati, ma forniranno anche nuovi strumenti critici e innovative prospettive metodologico-concettuali per lo studio e l?analisi della musica del Grand Si cle e per la sua contestualizzazione storica e culturale. Il testo include un ricco corredo di figure ed esempi musicali, oltre al primo catalogo tematico delle opere di Lonati, indispensabile punto di partenza per future indagini.‎
