‎Jerusalem in the Alps. The Sacro Monte of Varallo and the Sanctuaries of North-Western Italy‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, xii + 310 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:7 b/w, 50 col., 2 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503580579.‎

‎Summary The Sacro Monte (Holy Mountain) at Varallo is a sanctuary in the Italian Alps west of Milan. It was founded in the late fifteenth century by a Franciscan friar, with the support of the town's leading families. He designed it as a schematic replica of Jerusalem, to enable the faithful to make a virtual pilgrimage to the Holy City if they could not undertake the perilous journey to visit it physically. The Sacro Monte consists of a sequence of chapels containing tableaux of life-size painted terra-cotta figures with fresco backgrounds recounting the life and Passion of Christ. A century later, in the era of the Counter-Reformation, a 'second wave' of Sacri Monti was constructed in the north-western Alps, modelled on Varallo, but dedicated to other devotional themes, like the Rosary or the life of St Francis. All these sanctuaries, like Varallo, were the result of local initiatives, initiated by the clergy and the leaders of the communities where they were situated. Like Varallo, they were the work of artists and craftsmen from the alpine valleys, or from nearby Lombardy. Long dismissed as folk art unworthy of serious critical attention, the Sacri Monti are now recognised as monuments of unique artistic significance. In 2003 UNESCO listed nine of them in its register of World Heritage Sites. This book studies their development as the products of the religious sensibilities and the social, economic, and political conditions of the mountain communities that created them.

‎Sisterbook of Master Geert?s House, Deventer The Lives and Spirituality of the Sisters, c. 1390?c. 1460‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2025 Hardcover, Pages: 352 pages,Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 3 col., Language(s):English. ISBN 9782503602509.‎

‎The Sisterbook of Master Geert?s House contains the lives of sixty-four Sisters of the Common Life who died between 1398 and 1456. Founded as an alms-house for destitute women in 1374, by the end of the fourteenth century Master Geert?s House had become a home for women desiring to live a life of humility and penitence, as well as in community of goods without vows. The Sisterbook was likely written sometime between 1460 and 1470, at a time when the religious fervour that had characterized the earlier Sisters had begun to wane. It was to incite the readers and hearers of the Sisterbook, which would have been read in the refectory during mealtimes, to imitate the earlier Sisters who are portrayed as outstanding examples of godliness and Sisters of the Common Life. The opening sentence of the Sisterbook succinctly sums up the author?s reason for writing it: ?Here begin some edifying points about our earlier Sisters whose lives it behoves us to have before our eyes at all times, for in their ways they were truly like a candle on a candlestick?, and who, by implication, could still illumine the way for her own generation of Sisters. The first foundation of Sisters of the Common Life, Master Geert?s House became the ?mother? house of numerous other houses in the Low Countries and Germany directly as well as indirectly and served as an inspiration for others. This book provides a study of the Sisterbook and its significance in the Devotio Moderna and late medieval female religiosity, while the accompanying translation introduces this important source to an English audience.

‎Spiritual Formation and Mystical Symbolism. A Selection of Works of Hugh and Richard of St Victor, and of Thomas Gallus‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 625 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Illustrations:1 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503553115.‎

‎Summary Biblical interpretation, writings on the contemplative/mystical life and a continuing deep reflection on the nature and meaning of symbols come together in powerful ways in Victorine writers, particularly Hugh and Richard, as well as the lesser-known writer Thomas Gallus (Thomas of Vercelli), a Victorine canon who became the abbot of a house of regular canons in Vercelli, Italy. This volume contains: (1) Hugh's On the Ark of Noah and A Short Treatise on the Form of the Ark, treatises that unfold Hugh's teaching on stages and fruition of the mystical quest in relation to a complex drawing that incorporates a figure of Christ seated in majesty, embracing a map of the world on which is superimposed a diagram of Noah's Ark, representing the 12 stages of the contemplative quest; (2) Richard's On the Ark of Moses, a work that uses the symbolic (allegorical and tropological) interpretation of the Ark of the Covenant and the figures of the Cherubim that accompany the Ark in the Jerusalem Temple to convey Richard's vivid and compelling teaching on the varieties of contemplative experience as he understood them in twelfth-century Paris; and (3) Thomas Gallus' Commentary on the Song of Songs, which offers a window into a formative period of transition in the western Christian spiritual tradition, with Gallus's commentary on the Song of Songs giving voice to a more ?affective? (versus ?speculative?) understanding of the mystical quest and experience, drawing upon and extending earlier Victorine explorations of the interrelationship of love and knowing in the experience of contemplation. For those interested in the dynamics of the spiritual quest and symbolic understanding in the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries, as well as insights that can inform the modern quest for knowledge and love of God, these are essential works for any library.‎

‎Life and Death at a Nubian Monastery. The Collected Funerary Epigraphy from Ghazali‎

‎Summary The Christian monastery of Ghazali, located in Wadi Abu Dom, in northern Sudan, is one of the most famous archaeological sites within the country. Built by the Makurians in the seventh century AD, it flourished until its abandonment in the thirteenth century, and its picturesque ruins became a popular tourist attraction in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. During the period of the monastery's activity, it was an important religious centre, a place where monks lived, worshipped, died, and left important information about their lives buried in the archaeological record. This volume offers a catalogue and in-depth analysis of over two hundred funerary epigraphy monuments, inscribed in Greek and Coptic, onto stone stelae and terracotta plaques, that have been uncovered at Ghazali and that bear an important witness to life and death at the site. The meticulous epigraphic and philological work presented here is combined with a detailed discussion of the ensemble, including their archaeological context, material aspects, language use, and formulary. The analysis of onomastic practices and the monastic hierarchy supplements the picture and brings to the fore both individual persons and the community responsible for the production of these texts.

‎Book Collections as Archaeological Sites. A Study of Interconnectedness and Meaning in the Historical Library of the Canonesses Regular of Soeterbeeck‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 716 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:15 b/w, 267 col., 3 tables b/w., Language: English. FINE ISBN 9782503604589.‎

‎Summary In 1997 the canonesses regular of Soeterbeeck moved from their convent in Deursen (the Netherlands) to a nursing home in Nuland. They left behind an old library of considerable size and historical significance that is now the core of the Soeterbeeck Collection at Nijmegen University Library. It is a suitable starting point for telling the story of the historical library of a women's convent with roots in the Modern Devotion, from the community's humble beginnings in 1448 to the present day. This study describes the collective history of all manuscripts and early printed books that are known to have been in communal or personal ownership at Soeterbeeck. It investigates the books' production and delves into their traces of use. Many of these are connected to each other, usually because they were left by the same person or had the same purpose. Such units transcend the level of individual volumes and reveal what might be called the stratification of the historical library as a whole. They can be interpreted in the context of the sisters' personal lives and the convent's communal history. This approach provides insight in the multiplicity of meanings that the books had for their users. For the first time, theoretical principles of modern archaeology are used to map a historical library as an archaeological site. A scholarly catalogue of the Soeterbeeck Collection that documents its traces of use is also included. Stunning illustrations visually lay bare the books' eventful lives.

‎The version of the Rule of St Augustine used at the Abbey of St Victor began with the command to love God above all things and one?s neighbor as oneself. Not surprisingly, then, love was a pervasive theme in the writings produced there, many of which are introduced and translated here : (1) five lyrical essays by Hugh of St Victor (d. 1141): ThePraise of Charity; The Betrothal Gift of the Soul; In Praise of the Spouse; On the Substance of Love; What Truly Should Be Loved ?; (2) On the Four Degrees of Violent Love, by Richard of St Victor (d. 1173), which traces the likenesses and differences between romantic love and the love of God; (3) Achard of St Victor (d. 1170), Sermon 5 and two of Adam of St Victor?s sequences are examples of how these authors wove love into their writings ; (4) excerpts from the Microcosmus by Godfrey of St Victor (d. ca. 1195), summarize the central place of love in his humanistic theological anthropology.‎

‎Summary The Canons Regular of St. Victor were important contributors to the theology of the sacraments in the twelfth century.

‎Religious Practices and Everyday Life in the Long Fifteenth Century (1350-1570). Interpreting Changes and Changes of Interpretation‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 418 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:25 b/w, 2 tables b/w., 2 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503593555.‎

‎Summary The essays in this book bring to light and analyse the continuities and shifts in daily religious practices across Europe ? from Portugal to Hungary and from Italy to the British Isles ? in the transition from the Middle Ages to the early modern period. While some of these changes, such as the increasing use of rosaries and the resort to Ars Moriendi, were the consequence of the rise of a more personal and interiorized faith, other changes had different causes. These included the spreading of the Reformation over Europe, the expulsion or compulsory conversion of the Jews in the Iberian Peninsula, and the conquest of large portions of eastern Christianity by the Turks ? all of which forced people, who suddenly found that they had become religious minorities, to adopt new ways of living and new strategies for expressing their religiosity. By recovering and analysing the cultural dynamics and connections between religious power, knowledge, culture, and practices, this collection reconsiders and enriches our understanding of one of the most critical phases of Europe's cultural history. At the same time, it challenges existing narratives of the development of (early) modern identities that still, all too often, dominate the self-understanding of contemporary European society.

En el presente volumen, se aborda, en primer lugar, el estudio de los libros V y VI del Speculum doctrinale, sus caracter sticas y su transmisi n manuscrita, y, posteriormente, las modificaciones sufridas por estos dos libros, tanto en su estructura como en su contenido, que dan origen a los Flores philosophorum et poetarum y que implican una nueva fase en su transmisi n con una evoluci n de enciclopedia a florilegio.

Cette recherche entend r tablir les th ses principales expos es par Achard de Saint-Victor dans son livre De unitate et pluralitate creaturarum pour montrer que les capacit s m taphysiques de ce penseur ne le c dent pas aux philosophes plus connus de son poque. Notamment, l'autrice tudie la fa on dont le De unitate recourt aux doctrines m dio et n oplatoniciennes pour r soudre la question d'une coexistence de l'unit et de la pluralit en Dieu et dans les cr atures. L'enjeu est de mieux comprendre la place de la m taphysique platonicienne dans l' cole de Saint-Victor, et ce malgr la raret des sources au XIIe si cle, en particulier des oeuvres de Platon ou de ses disciples grecs. Le pr sent ouvrage contribue r soudre deux probl mes de l'histoire de la philosophie : quels l ments et sources platoniciens ont t re us au XIIe si cle et quelle place la pens e victorine fait l'h ritage platonicien. Les probl mes philosophiques soulev s sont la multiplication des objets intelligibles et sensibles, la d finition de la chose et l'identit des tres.‎

‎Summary Si l'histoire des grandes abbayes cisterciennes est bien connue, il n'en va pas de m me pour des abbayes de moindre dimension, comme celles qui se sont implant es dans le dioc se de Verdun : Lachalade, Ch tillon-en-Wo vre et Lisle (par la suite transf r e du Verdunois au Barrois). Mais tel tait le cas de bien d'autres monast res cisterciens que l'histoire des grandes abbayes de l'ordre (C teaux, Morimond, Clairvaux, Trois-Fontaines etc.) a souvent clips . L' tude de ces petites abbayes permet ainsi d'apporter une contribution l'histoire locale, r v lant des chartes jusqu'alors in dites, compl tant ipso facto des corpus d'actes piscopaux, comtaux etc., permettant aussi de mieux appr hender des lignages locaux et de nombreux aspects de la vie r gionale. Arri re-petite-fille de Morimond, abbaye modeste, au sud de la for t d'Argonne, aux confins de la Champagne et de la Lorraine, en m me temps que des dioc ses de Verdun, Toul et Ch lons, Lisle-en-Barrois s'est d velopp e dans une relative tranquillit . Bien ins r e dans son environnement imm diat, elle n'avait comme possessions lointaines que des maisons Verdun et Metz, pour la fois y couler ses productions et servir d' tape sur la route du sel. Au terme d'un patient travail, cet ouvrage vient clairer l'histoire originelle de l'abbaye et livre un recueil de chartes in dites, couvrant les abbatiats jusque 1226, concourant ainsi la connaissance g n rale du Moyen ge et celle des cisterciens en Lorraine.

‎gracial d'Adgar. Miracles de la vierge, Dulce chose est de Deu cunter‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2012 Hardcover. 424 p., 140 x 210 mm, Languages: French, Old French, Including an index. Fine copy. *new ISBN 9782503544694.‎

‎Le Gracial d'Adgar est la premiere oeuvre representative du genre des miracles de Notre-Dame en francais. Ecrite en anglo-normand, vers 1165, elle temoigne de l'influence de l'Angleterre dans le developpement du culte marial et l'eclosion de la litterature francaise. Ce genre litteraire connaitra un succes considerable dans toute l'Europe. Il s'agit de montrer que si Adgar condamne la litterature profane pour ses mensonges et son immoralite, il sait tout de meme en retirer une lecon de ? sagesse et de courtoisie? . Son oeuvre s'adresse a un public ? frivole? , mais exigeant. Il faut que cette litterature pieuse puisse rivaliser, par son agrement, avec la litterature courtoise de son temps et depasser les Vies de saints par son homogeneite et sa variete. Le texte latin est traduit en francais moderne, afin que le lecteur puisse constater les enjeux d'une impossible fidelite. Quelques miracles d'Adgar sont enfin compares a ceux de ses confreres romans, notamment le plus brillant d'entre eux, Gautier de Coinci.‎

‎Summary When Saint Dominic (c. 1174-1221) came to Rome to seek papal approval of the Order of Preachers, he founded two houses on the periphery of the city ? a nunnery at S. Sisto, in structures rebuilt by Pope Innocent III, and a priory next to the early Christian basilica of S. Sabina. The Dominicans modified and enlarged the existing buildings, according to their needs. Saint Francis of Assisi (c. 1182-1226) also came to consult the Pope, but he did not make any foundations in Rome. In 1229, Pope Gregory IX ordered the Benedictine monks of SS. Cosma e Damiano in Mica Aurea to cede to the Franciscans their hospice of S. Biagio in Trastevere, where Saint Francis had stayed. The friars built the church and friary of S. Francesco a Ripa there. Later, Gregory IX took over the Benedictine monastery itself, where he established the Franciscan nunnery of S. Cosimato in 1234. Moving into the more densely inhabited parts of the city, the Friars Minor built a new friary and church at S. Maria in Aracoeli on the Capitoline Hill from c. 1248-1252 onwards. The Dominicans, in 1266, acquired a convent near the Pantheon, where they constructed the Gothic church of S. Maria sopra Minerva. In 1285, the Colonna family established a Franciscan nunnery at S. Silvestro in Capite. In the context of the origin and evolution of the two Mendicant Orders, this book traces the history of these thirteenth-century Dominican and Franciscan foundations, focussing on their location in Rome, the history of each site, their architecture, and the medieval works of art connected with them. Popes and cardinals, members of important families, and Franciscan Tertiaries contributed generously to their construction and decoration. The book ends with Saint Catherine of Siena, who lived near S. Maria sopra Minerva, where she was buried.

‎Women's History in the Age of Reformation. Johannes Meyer's Chronicle of the Dominican Observance‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, approx. x + 306 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Illustrations:2 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9780888443083.‎

‎Summary In his work The Book of the Reformation of the Order of Preachers, the Dominican friar Johannes Meyer (1422-1485) drew on letters, treatises, and other written records, as well as interviews, oral accounts, and his own personal experience, to record the blossoming of the Observant reform movement. The result is this sprawling, eclectic, yet curiously intimate account of the men - but mostly of the women - who devoted their lives to revitalizing the Dominican order in southern Germany. With his reliance on their accounts and archives and respect for their intellectual abilities and spiritual resolve, Meyer's treatment of medieval Dominican women provides a model from which today's historians stand to learn. The introduction contextualizes Meyer's celebratory work within a more objective historical background; it is followed by a full translation, making this remarkable history available to English-speaking readers for the first time.‎
