‎Ecclesiae Occidentalis Monumenta Iuris Antiquissima. The Latin Translations of Greek Canons and Councils from the Fourth Century‎

‎, Brepols, 2025 Hardback, Pages:3 vols, 1402, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:1 col., Languages: English, Latin, Greek. ISBN 9782503619958.‎

‎Summary Ecclesiae Occidentalis Monumenta Iuris Antiquissima (EOMIA) is a monumental scholarly achievement by Cuthbert Hamilton Turner, compiled between 1899 and 1939. It presents Latin texts of canons, creeds, and letters from early Church councils and synods, primarily from the fourth century, alongside meticulous comparisons of manuscript traditions. Renowned for its philological rigor, EOMIA remains an indispensable resource for Church historians, canon law scholars, textual critics, and students of Latin. Yet despite its scholarly value, EOMIA is notoriously difficult to use. It was published in fascicles over four decades, each with its own internal divisions (pars, tomus, fasciculus) which were inconsistently labelled and sometimes retroactively reclassified. This lack of editorial cohesion left librarians and scholars struggling to organize and bind the volumes, resulting in chaotic pagination and sequencing. The absence of modern navigation aids such as thematic indexing or summaries only compounded the challenge, making EOMIA a bibliographical labyrinth. This new reprint offers a long-awaited solution: it restores Turner's original intended structure, adds newly commissioned introductions on the contents, organization, scholarly value, and practical use of the work, and includes a dual index of names and selected terms to aid navigation and research.

‎Philology in Turbulent Times. Joseph Bosworth, His Dictionary, and the Recovery of Old English‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, xxx + 314 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9780888449108.‎

‎Summary This book situates Joseph Bosworth's A Dictionary of the Anglo-Saxon Language (1838) and its revised 1898 version in their cultural context, reconstructing their history from a wealth of archival materials. It opens up a larger investigation into the central role played by Bosworth's work in the birth and growth of Old English studies in the nineteenth century. And it examines the challenges faced by T. Northcote Toller in completing the revision of the Dictionary after Bosworth's death, as well as his compilation of its Supplement in 1921. Overall, this study aims to rectify widespread disciplinary ignorance of the Dictionary's conception, compilation, and publication, and to examine its impact on the development of the discipline.

(This is a corollary of the intermediate value theorem. Every second order polynomial with complex coefficients has two complex roots. For every polynomial p with real coefficients, there exists a field E in which the polynomial may be factored into linear terms.Also with an importent paper by Leonhard Euler ""Mémoire sur l'Effet de la Propagation successive de la Lumiere dans l'Apparition tant des Planetes que des Cometes"" (Memoir on the effect of the successive propogation of light in the appeareance of both comets and planets).

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2012 Hardback, X+320 pages ., 156 x 234 mm. Languages : English, Italian, Latin.*New. ISBN 9782503525242.‎

‎Moral philosophy, and particularly ethics, was among the most contested disciplines in the Renaissance, as philosophers, theologians, and literary scholars all laid claim to it, while an expanding canon of sources made the ground shift under their feet. In this volume, eleven specialists drawn from literature, intellectual history, philosophy, and religious studies examine the configuration of ethics and how it changed in the period from Petrarch to Descartes. They show that the contexts in which ethics was explored, the approaches taken to it, and the conclusions it reached make Renaissance ethics something worthy of exploration in its own right, in distinction to both medieval and early modern ethics. Particular attention is given to the development of new audiences, settings, genres (essays, dialogues, commonplace books, biographies, short fiction), and mediums (especially the vernacular) in ethical discussions, as well as the continuities with the formal exploration of ethics through commentaries. Renaissance ethics emerges as a highly eclectic product, which combined Christian insights with the Aristotelian and Platonic traditions while increasingly incorporating elements from Stoicism and Epicureanism. This volume will be of particular interest to students and researchers who wish to gain an overall view of how ethics developed throughout Europe in response to the cultural, historical, and religious changes between 1350 and 1650.
