Book Synopsis La disme de penitanche by : Jehan (de Journi.)
Download or read book La disme de penitanche written by Jehan (de Journi.) and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2006 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composed in Nicosia in 1288 by Jehan de Journi, an educated crusader knight, La Disme de Penitanche is a versified manual designed to help the laity prepare themselves for confession. It is a fascinating mixture of the learned and the popular, drawing on university textbooks and scholarly methodology to paint an up-to-date picture of the academic approach to penance, but also employing popular elements such as the Three Enemies of Man (the World, the Flesh and the Devil), lively exempla, and proverbial expressions to present the Seven Deadly Sins to a wide audience. A concluding prayer catalogues many notable figures who were active in the eastern Mediterranean as the crusades drew to their close in the late 1280s, and the work also contains a hitherto largely unnoticed passage giving information about games and pastimes of the period. Written in the Picard dialect, the manual offers many points of linguistic interest, phonological, morphological and lexical. It will appeal to students of history, cultural history, divinity, historical linguistics, dialectology, and medieval French literature. In this edition the text is accompanied by an introduction dealing with the manuscript, author, background and language, detailed explanatory notes, a glossary and an index of proper names.
Book Synopsis The Subject of Crusade by : Marisa Galvez
Download or read book The Subject of Crusade written by Marisa Galvez and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-04-09 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Middle Ages, religious crusaders took up arms, prayed, bade farewell to their families, and marched off to fight in holy wars. These Christian soldiers also created accounts of their lives in lyric poetry, putting words to the experience of personal sacrifice and the pious struggle associated with holy war. The crusaders affirmed their commitment to fighting to claim a distant land while revealing their feelings as they left behind their loved ones, homes, and earthly duties. Their poems and related visual works offer us insight into the crusaders’ lives and values at the boundaries of earthly and spiritual duties, body and soul, holy devotion and courtly love. In The Subject of Crusade, Marisa Galvez offers a nuanced view of holy war and crusade poetry, reading these lyric works within a wider conversation with religion and culture. Arguing for an interdisciplinary treatment of crusade lyric, she shows how such poems are crucial for understanding the crusades as a complex cultural and historical phenomenon. Placing them in conversation with chronicles, knightly handbooks, artworks, and confessional and pastoral texts, she identifies a particular “crusade idiom” that emerged out of the conflict between pious and earthly duties. Galvez fashions an expanded understanding of the creative works made by crusaders to reveal their experiences, desires, ideologies, and reasons for taking up the cross.
Book Synopsis Istoire de la Chastelaine du Vergier et de Tristan le Chevalier by : Jean-François Kosta-Théfaine
Download or read book Istoire de la Chastelaine du Vergier et de Tristan le Chevalier written by Jean-François Kosta-Théfaine and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2009 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'L'Istoire de la Chastelaine du Vergier et de Tristan le Chevalier', composee en prose au XVeme siecle et conservee dans un unique manuscrit, est un remaniement anonyme de 'La Chastelaine de Vergi', ce court poeme du XIIIeme siecle au succes incontestable. Cette version en prose narre, tout comme son modele en vers, les amours malheureuses d'un couple d'amants. Cependant, si l'Istoire de la 'Chastelaine du Vergier et de Tristan le Chevalier' parait, de prime abord, suivre d'une facon presque fidele son modele, il faut admettre qu'il existe un certain nombre de variations passant d'une version a l'autre. En effet, la version en prose ajoute des developpements absents dans celle en vers, amplifie la portee morale de son texte, propose un changement manifeste de la conception de l'amour, modifie le caractere de la duchesse, emploie un vocabulaire bien specifique dans certaines occasions, etc. Ainsi, l''Istoire de la Chastelaine du Vergier et de Tristan le Chevalier', bien qu'offrant une organisation sequentielle assez peu differente de celle de 'La Chastelaine de Vergi', sait se detacher de son modele en proposant une adaptation ainsi qu'une version toute personnelle du celebre poeme du XIIIeme siecle. Jean-Francois Kosta-Thefaine, docteur en litterature medievale, est chercheur associe au Centre d'Etudes des Textes Medievaux - Universite de Rennes 2.
Book Synopsis The Rewarde of Wickednesse by : Richard Robinson
Download or read book The Rewarde of Wickednesse written by Richard Robinson and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2009 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Robinson's 'The Rewarde of Wickednesse' (1574) is a quasi-epic poem that imitates the de casibus form of 'A Mirror for Magistrates' and makes a clear indication of the hellish position of the damned. Robinson wrote the poem during the period when his employer, George Talbot, was appointed as the jailer over Elizabeth's cousin Mary Stuart during the period of her imprisonment at Sheffield Castle and Sheffield Manor. The poem is anti-Catholic polemic, but it is not simply an invective against Catholicism; Robinson's work condemns bad moral behaviour but in the context of the dialectical opposition between Catholicism and Protestantism; an opposition that was not clearly demarcated during this period. Robinson's poem 'The Rewarde of Wickednesse' explores the notion that sinful people on earth are influenced by a Hellish force but he emphasises the punishment for sin and makes the link between the damned and Hell. 'The Rewarde of Wickednesse', through its inclusion of different, and sometimes opposing, traditions, faiths and literary formats, reveals an Elizabethan culture rife with the apprehensions concerning salvation and damnation that define early English Protestantism Robinson stages his laments for the sinners in the space of Hell as he and the god Morpheus travel through the underworld witnessing the punishments inflicted on sinners.

Book Synopsis Essays on Kant, Schelling, and German Aesthetics by : Henry Crabb Robinson
Download or read book Essays on Kant, Schelling, and German Aesthetics written by Henry Crabb Robinson and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2010 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a student at the University of Jena at the beginning of the nineteenth century, Henry Crabb Robinson (1775-1867) became the outstanding English mediator of the revolution in German thought. For the first time, this volume collects his early writings, both published and unpublished. The contents include 'Letters on the Philosophy of Kant' and notes from F.W.J. Schelling's lectures on the philosophy of art. Further, Robinson's private lectures for Madame de Staël are presented with her marginalia. In the intellectual history of Romanticism, Robinson emerges as a major figure whose lucid and entertaining essays can still guide the modern reader through the key German texts.

Book Synopsis Ovide Du Remede D'amours by : Tony Hunt
Download or read book Ovide Du Remede D'amours written by Tony Hunt and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2008 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the outstanding popularity of Ovid in Europe throughout the Middle Ages, disappointingly few translations of his works into French have survived and even fewer have been carefully studied. This edition is an attempt to remedy this situation in two ways. First, it presents a hitherto unpublished version of the Remedia amoris, thus expanding the corpus of materials available to students of the transmission of Ovid in the Middle Ages. Second, it provides, for the first time, a detailed survey of the existing versions of the Remedia and their principal characteristics. Against this background the version published comes closest to what can be called a translation and is thus significant for understanding the techniques of translation in the medieval period.
Book Synopsis Casimir Britannicus by : Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski
Download or read book Casimir Britannicus written by Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2010 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski (1595-1640) was known in his lifetime as the Christian Horace. He was one of the most famous Neo-Latin poets of the Baroque, widely read, commented and translated throughout Europe. He was nominated Poet Laureate by Pope Urban VIII. Sarbiewski was also famous for his studies in rhetoric and critical works such as De perfecta poesi sive Vergilius et Homerus. His Latin poetry was read, translated and imitated also in England, especially from 1640 until the first half of the 19th century. The first edition of Sarbiewski's English translations, by George Hills, was published in 1646. From that time onwards, Sarbiewski was translated by a variety of poets ranging from Hills to such famous authors as Vaughan, Burns and Coleridge. His poetry was universally read in grammar schools and used as a medium of improving the knowledge of Latin during a period exceeding two centuries. Thanks to Sarbiewski, English poets started to imitate Horace, which was an important factor in overcoming the Pindaric tradition. Sarbiewski's oeuvre was also attractive owing to its immersion in various cultural traditions such as Stoicism, Ignatian spirituality, Platonism, and Hermeticism. This revised edition includes all known English translations of Sarbiewski's poems. The texts are accompanied by an introduction presenting the biography and works of Sarbiewski, as well as a short critical analysis of the translations included in the volume.
Book Synopsis Dante Alighieri by : Dante Alighieri
Download or read book Dante Alighieri written by Dante Alighieri and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2007 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dante's political thought has long constituted a major area of interest for Dante studies. Yet there has been a tendency for the poet's views on matters of politics to be seen by critics as a self-contained, discrete area for study.This edition of four political letters examines the extent to which they can be said to contain the seeds of the political poetry of the Commedia, and to look again at the ways in which the author transforms the Latin political rhetoric of the letters into the Italian poetic language of his vernacular masterpiece.Table of Contents:1. Introduction: `Rome once had two suns? 2. The Letter to the Princes and Peoples of Italy (Epistola V)3. The Letter to the Florentines (Epistola VI)4. The Letter to the Emperor Henry VII (Epistola VII)5. The Letter to the Italian Cardinals (Epistola XI)6.
