Book excerpt: Voici bien l'occasion de commencer par cette constatation d'Hegel : « La magie se rencontre chez tous les peuples et dans tous les temps ». Cependant que Michel Meslin remarque dans sa récenteEncyclopédie des Religions (Bayard 1997) que derrière tous ses oripeaux la magie pose en réalité le problème de la liberté de l'homme affronté à son destin. En effet, contrairement à la religion dont les rites s'évertuent à « concilier le divin avec l'ordre des choses du monde des hommes », la magie, intervenant également auprès des puissances supérieures, le manipule, les instrumentalise, et tente de les contraindre à satisfaire les désirs humains, n'hésitant pas à transgresser les règles sociales ou morales. René Mabille en son temps avait déjà établi cette distinction dans le champ commun du sacré. L'Europe (pour ne citer qu'elle) a connu une longue tradition où la magie se confondait avec les sciences ésotériques, largement héritées de l'Égypte et de la Kabbale juive. Et il faut reconnaître que durant le Moyen Âge, la magie se mélange à diverses sciences qui n'ont pas encore trouvé leur indépendance ni leurs méthodologie propre. Ainsi, la chimie, la médecine, la pharmacologie, l'astronomie. Il suffit d'ouvrir le « grand Albert » (15e siècle) attribué au maître de Thomas d'Aquin, pour distinguer à travers le fatras des recettes délirantes, des notations très justes sur les maladies, les plantes, les poisons, etc. ce qui explique que cet ouvrage fut sans cesse réédité jusqu'à l'aube du xxe siècle. Il n'est donc pas excessif d'affirmer que la magie par son aspect technique et utilitaire, tint lieu de science exacte durant le Moyen Âge européen, et fut prise au sérieux par les plus grands intellectuels de cette époque. Rappelons cependant que la magie même alors conserva un statut éminemment ambigu ; elle fut condamnée à intervalles réguliers par l'Église chrétienne, cependant qu'elle était pratiquée dans les couvents des Bénédictins, des Cisterciens et des célèbres Templiers.

Book excerpt: Il serait tentant mais trompeur d'y voir l'illustration du cote noir du Moyen Age! Ce serait oublier que la Renaissance, qui la premiere a invente l'image des ages sombres, a elle-meme cultive et pratique la magie, de meme que l'astrologie et la demonologie, d'une facon au moins aussi intense meme si ces pratiques se sont heurtees a une repression beaucoup plus feroce que dans les siecles precedents. Le vaste parcours historique auquel se livre Graziella Federici Vescovini propose quant a lui une histoire de la magie au Moyen Age qui doit etre en meme temps, en partie du moins, une histoire des sciences ou de la philosophie naturelle, tout en examinant ses relations avec la theologie ou la religion. La magie est a la fois une forme de rationalisation des phenomenes, et une alterite sans cesse menacante pour les sciences et la religion medievales. Mais ce qu'il convient avant tout de retenir, c'est la profusion des textes, la multiplicite de questions que la magie pose en toutes sortes de domaines. Une fois recues les traductions des principaux textes arabes ou hebreux, une fois lancee l'idee de magie naturelle, une fois mise en doute la possibilite pour les demons d'agir, une fois souligne le role de l'imagination, les medievaux sont en permanence confrontes a telle ou telle de ces questions. Les medecins, les astronomes et astrologues, les perspectivistes, les physiciens meme, sans parler des theologiens ont tous un avis sur la nature et les limites de la magie. La magie est ainsi un noeud de problemes, en meme temps qu'un revelateur des positions theoriques. Entre superstition et raison.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First English translation of one of the most influential French poems of the Middle Ages. The anonymous Ovide moralisé (Moralized Ovid), composed in France in the fourteenth century, retells and explicates Ovid's Metamorphoses, with generous helpings of related texts, for a Christian audience. Working from the premise that everything in the universe, including the pagan authors of Graeco-Roman Antiquity, is part of God's plan and expresses God's truth even without knowing it, the Ovide moralisé is a massive and influential work of synthesis and creativity, a remarkable window into a certain kind of medieval thinking. It is of major importance across time and across many disciplines, including literature, philosophy, theology, and art history. This three volume set offers an English translation of this hugely significant text - the first into any modern language. Based on the only complete edition to date, that by Cornelis de Boer and others completed in 1938, it also reflects more recent editions and numerous manuscripts. The translation is accompanied by a substantial introduction, situating the Ovide moralisé in terms of the reception of Ovid, the mythographical tradition, and its medieval French religious and intellectual milieu. Notes discuss textual problems and sources, and relate the text to key issues in the thought of theologians such as Bonaventure and Aquinas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge History of Medieval Magic brings together the work of scholars from across Europe and North America to provide extensive insights into recent developments in the study of medieval magic between c.1100 and c.1500. This book covers a wide range of topics, including the magical texts which circulated in medieval Europe, the attitudes of intellectuals and churchmen to magic, the ways in which magic intersected with other aspects of medieval culture, and the early witch trials of the fifteenth century. In doing so, it offers the reader a detailed look at the impact that magic had within medieval society, such as its relationship to gender roles, natural philosophy, and courtly culture. This is furthered by the book’s interdisciplinary approach, containing chapters dedicated to archaeology, literature, music, and visual culture, as well as texts and manuscripts. The Routledge History of Medieval Magic also outlines how research on this subject could develop in the future, highlighting under-explored subjects, unpublished sources, and new approaches to the topic. It is the ideal book for both established scholars and students of medieval magic.

This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are no clear demarcation lines between magic, astrology, necromancy, medicine, and even sciences in the pre-modern world. Under the umbrella term 'magic,' the contributors to this volume examine a wide range of texts, both literary and religious, both medical and philosophical, in which the topic is discussed from many different perspectives. The fundamental concerns address issue such as how people perceived magic, whether they accepted it and utilized it for their own purposes, and what impact magic might have had on the mental structures of that time. While some papers examine the specific appearance of magicians in literary texts, others analyze the practical application of magic in medical contexts. In addition, this volume includes studies that deal with the rise of the witch craze in the late fifteenth century and then also investigate whether the Weberian notion of disenchantment pertaining to the modern world can be maintained. Magic is, oddly but significantly, still around us and exerts its influence. Focusing on magic in the medieval world thus helps us to shed light on human culture at large.

This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection considers the multiplicity and instability of medieval French literary identity, arguing that it is fluid and represented in numerous ways. The works analyzed span genres—epic, romance, lyric poetry, hagiography, fabliaux—and historical periods from the twelfth century to the late Middle Ages. Contributors examine the complexity of the notion of self through a wide range of lenses, from marginal characters to gender to questions of voice and naming. Studying a variety of texts—including Conte du Graal, Roman de la Rose, Huon de Bordeaux, and the Oxford Roland—they conceptualize the Other Within as an individual who simultaneously exists within a group while remaining foreign to it. They explore the complex interactions between and among individuals and groups, and demonstrate how identity can be imposed and self-imposed not only by characters but by authors and audiences. Taken together, these essays highlight the fluidity and complexity of identity in medieval French texts, and underscore both the richness of the literature and its engagement with questions that are at once more and less modern than they initially appear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of the most important, influential and capacious genres of the middle ages, the romance was exploited for a variety of social and cultural reasons: to celebrate and justify war and conflict, chivalric ideologies, and national, local and regional identities; to rationalize contemporary power structures, and identify the present with the legendary past; to align individual desires and aspirations with social virtues. But the romance in turn exploited available figures of value, appropriating the tropes and strategies of religious and historical writing, and cannibalizing and recreating its own materials for heightened ideological effect. The essays in this volume consider individual romances, groups of writings and the genre more widely, elucidating a variety of exploitative manoeuvres in terms of text, context, and intertext.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An indepth examination of the presentation of Constantinople and its complex relationship with the west in medieval French texts. Medieval France saw Constantinople as something of a quintessential ideal city. Aspects of Byzantine life were imitated in and assimilated to the West in a movement of political and cultural renewal, but the Byzantine capital wasalso celebrated as the locus of a categorical and inimitable difference. This book analyses the debate between renewal and utopia in Western attitudes to Constantinople as it evolved through the twelfth and thirteenth centuries in a series of vernacular (Old French, Occitan and Franco-Italian) texts, including the Pèlerinage de Charlemagne, Girart de Roussillon, Partonopeus de Blois, the poetry of Rutebeuf, and the chronicles by Geoffroy de Villehardouin and Robert de Clari, both known as the Conquête de Constantinople. It establishes how the texts' representation of the West's relationship with Constantinople enacts this debate between renewal andutopia; demonstrates that analysis of this relationship can contribute to a discussion on the generic status of the texts themselves; and shows that the texts both react to the socio-cultural context in which they were produced, and fulfil a role within that context. Dr Rima Devereaux is an independent scholar based in London.

Book excerpt: The Tractat de prenostication de la vida natural dels hòmens, a late fifteenth-century Catalan incunable, draws on a rich tradition of astrological magic, geomancy, Pythagorean numerology, and Hebrew gematria. This practical manual offers a method of determining the birth sign based on calculations performed on the subject’s name and his or her mother’s name. The critical edition includes a literary, historical, and linguistic study; an English translation; and a Catalan-English glossary. The Tractat reveals Catalan sources for prognostication, a unique expression of medieval syncretism, the mingling of traditions, and the development of new ideas. It is a rare find for Hispanists and others interested in astrology, magic, the history of science, and early print culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major reference work is the fourth volume in the series "Arthurian Literature in the Middle Ages". Its intention is to update the French and Occitan chapters in R.S. Loomis’ "Arthurian Literature in the Middle Ages: A Collaborative History" (Oxford, 1959) and to provide a volume which will serve the needs of students and scholars of Arthurian literature. The principal focus is the production, dissemination and evolution of Arthurian material in French and Occitan from the twelfth to the fifteenth century. Beginning with a substantial overview of Arthurian manuscripts, the volume covers writing in both verse (Wace, the Tristan legend, Chretien de Troyes and the Grail Continuations, Marie de France and the anonymous lays, the lesser known romances) and prose (the Vulgate Cycle, the prose Tristan, the Post-Vulgate Roman du Graal, etc.).
