Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This French medieval text is now published in its entirety, accompanied by an introduction and extensive synopses in English. Philippe de Mezieres (1327-1405) was a French soldier, publicist and statesman who travelled widely through much of the Christian world and served a number of rulers, particularly the King of Cyprus and Charles V and VI of France. Throughout his life Philippe de Mezieres was obsessed by the ideal that the West must reform itself in the light of the Christian view of the good life and he urged all Christian rulers to join together in a final crusade to liberate the Holy Land and the eastern Christian empires. This is the underlying theme of Le Songe du Vieil Pelerin, Philippe de Mezieres' major work. It is divided into three parts: the first is a wide-ranging survey of the Christian world, the second an examination of the state of France and the third a study of the duties and requirements of authority. The style is highly allegorical but contains much personal observation and historical fact.

She %oes to Leon, puts a Cheat upon a Sharper; Chouses an Hypocrite; takes another Ramble; Steals an Ass; begs to buy a Locket; & puts afoul trick upon her kinsman. HERE is no-doubt but success puffs up the mind J_ and raises the thoughts; my late triumph made me conceit great matters of myself; I began to set up for a lady, and all that looked like the country seemed below me. Time was when I liked a bumpkin in a pair of leather breeches and clouted shoes, better than the nicest beau about the court; and would rather have accepted a treat of sullibub, or a present of a straw-hat, than a silk-gown, or a gold-locket. The greatest present I then thought could be made to a person of my degree, was a silver ring, and if it was gilt, I looked upon it as the highest generosity. But the world is altered, and I grew so lofty, that I valued a scarlet petticoat no more than if they had to be taken off of every hedge. Being thus enriched with the booty, and grown vain with success, I resolved to quit the country life, and take one loose in the city of Leon, which is but three leagues from Mansilla. It was in the month of August, when there is a great festival in that city, and therefore I ordered some kindred of mine to provide me a gentle she ass to serve me for a palfrey: they brought me one curiously accoutred with saddle and bridle, and I seeing her so fine, resolved to trick myself up, and daub my cheeks. I sent for white and red, and being little skilledjn that art, laid it on as if it had been with a trowel on a wall. This done I put on a scarlet petticoat, a satin waistcoat, a sky-colour mantle, with a velvet welt about it, and a close hood, and a fine veil along with me in my sleeve. Thus dressed, I mounted my steed and set...

Download or read book The Oxford Guide to the Historical Reception of Augustine written by Karla Pollmann and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 1930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a ground-breaking international and interdisciplinary enterprise on the impact of the thought and work of Augustine of Hippo (AD 354 - 430). Arguably the most influential early Christian thinker in the western part of the Roman Empire, Augustine's impact has reached further than the religious domain and he has become a veritable icon of Western culture. The work maps this influence not just in theology, his traditional area of prominence, but far beyond, taking into account fields such as political theory, ethics, music, education, semiotics, literature, philosophy, psychotherapy, religion, and popular culture. Beginning with a detailed introduction, it offers chapter-length discussions and contextualization on the general characteristics of Augustine's reception in various periods, as well as on specific themes as wide-ranging as Islam and gender. The work also surveys the material transmission and intellectual reception of almost all of Augustine's extant works, documented in the light of recent research.--

Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Early Modern Literature and Science written by Howard Marchitello and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-27 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the complex ways in which science and literature are mutually-informing and mutually-sustaining. It does not cast the literary and the scientific as distinct, but rather as productively in-distinct cultural practices: for the two dozen new essays collected here, the presiding concern is no longer to ask how literary writers react to scientific writers, but rather to study how literary and scientific practices are imbricated. These specially-commissioned essays from top scholars in the area range across vast territories and produce seemingly unlikely unions: between physics and rhetoric, math and Milton, Boyle and the Bible, plague and plays, among many others. In these essays so-called scientific writing turns out to traffic in metaphor, wit, imagination, and playfulness normally associated with literature provides material forms and rhetorical strategies for thinking physics, mathematics, archeology, and medicine.

Download or read book The Reader in the Book written by Stephen Orgel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reader in the Book is concerned with a particular aspect of the history of the book, an archeology and sociology of the use of margins and other blank spaces. One of the most commonplace aspects of old books is the fact that people wrote in them, something that, until very recently, has infuriated modern collectors and librarians. But these inscriptions constitute a significant dimension of the book's history, and what readers did to books often added to their value. Sometimes marks in books have no relation to the subject of the book, merely names, dates, prices paid; blank spaces were used for pen trials and doing sums, and flyleaves are occasionally the repository of records of various kinds. The Reader in the Book deals with that special class of books in which the text and marginalia are in intense communication with each other, in which reading constitutes an active and sometimes adversarial engagement with the book. The major examples are works that are either classics or were classics in their own time; but they are seen here as contemporaries read them, without the benefit of centuries of commentary and critical guidance. The underlying question is at what point marginalia, the legible incorporation of the work of reading into the text of the book, became a way of defacing it rather than of increasing its value-why did we want books to lose their history?
