Crusades
Crusades covers seven hundred years from the First Crusade (1095-1102) to the fall of Malta (1798) and draws together scholars working on theatres of war, their home fronts and settlements from the Baltic to Africa and from Spain to the Near East and on theology, law, literature, art, numismatics and economic, social, political and military history. Routledge publishes this journal for The Society for the Study of the Crusades and the Latin East. Particular attention is given to the publication of historical sources in all relevant languages - narrative, homiletic and documentary - in trustworthy editions, but studies and interpretative essays are welcomed too. Crusades appears in both print and online editions.
Less Translated Languages
This is the first collection of articles devoted entirely to less translated languages, a term that brings together well-known, widely used languages such as Arabic or Chinese, and long-neglected minority languages with power as the key word at play. It starts with some views on English, the dominant language in Translation as elsewhere, considers the role of translation for minority languages both a source of inequality and a means to overcome it , takes a look at translation from less translated major languages and cultures, and ends up with a closer look at translation into Catalan, a paradigmatic case of less translated language, in a final section that includes a vindication of six prominent Catalan translators. Combining sound theoretical insight and accurate analysis of relevant case studies, the contributors to this collection make a convincing case for a more thorough examination of less translated languages within the field of Translation Studies.
How Little I Know
The poems in this collection are divided into five pamphlets: Gods, Romance, Fantasy, Humanity, and Animalsthe preoccupations of the past decade. The more deeply one listens to these outer voices, Gans seems to be saying, the less one really knows. If knowing consists of a body of knowledge acquired through a life where there is little opportunity offered or taken to listen, the body of what we think we knowlet alone understandbecomes minute indeed. Here are poems written below the static radar, meant to be read aloud. Also published by Xlibris: 49 Poems: Where Are You Leading Me Now? (2005)

Carmel in Medieval Catalonia
This volume traces the development of Carmelite foundations in Medieval Catalonia and shows how they reflected the dichotomy between the Order's eremitical origins and the active mendicant apostolate in which it was engaged. In discussing Carmelite life in an urban setting, mention is made of secular involvement with its positive and negative effects, popular piety and miraculous sightings and outstanding intellectual achievement. The conclusion raises the question that Carmelite friars might have migrated to Europe at an earlier date than traditionally suggested; similarly, that the inaccurate foundation document for Peralada dated 1206 was a fourteenth-century falsification. The appendices provide supplementary material: archival documents, names of priors, royal chaplains, students and graduates and finally an alphabetical list of known medieval Catalan Carmelites. A bibliography and index complete the volume.
The Oxford Handbook of Latin Palaeography
Latin books are among the most numerous surviving artifacts of the Late Antique, Mediaeval, and Renaissance periods in European history; written in a variety of formats and scripts, they preserve the literary, philosophical, scientific, and religious heritage of the West. The Oxford Handbook of Latin Palaeography surveys these books, with special emphasis on the variety of scripts in which they were written. Palaeography, in the strictest sense, examines how the changing styles of script and the fluctuating shapes of individual letters allow the date and the place of production of books to be determined. More broadly conceived, palaeography examines the totality of early book production, own...

Tormented Voices
Peasants of remote history rarely speak to us in their own voices, but Thomas Bisson's engagement with the records of several hundred twelfth-century rural Catalonians enables us to hear these voices. Bisson describes these peasants socially and culturally, showing how their experience figured in a wider crisis of power during the twelfth century.
Carlemany a Europa. Història i memòria
La història de Carlemany i la seva nissaga és un dels eixos vertebradors de la identitat d’Europa que ha determinat significativament la memòria històrica, religiosa i cultural dels països i les regions del continent formats en el si de l’imperi carolingi. El present volum recull un conjunt d’estudis sobre diversos temes relacionats amb la figura de Carlemany i el seu entorn, que conviden el lector a fer un recorregut cronològic i geogràfic per l’antiguitat tardana i la Mediterrània altmedieval, partint d’Itàlia —centre neuràlgic—, passant per França i la península Ibèrica, i fent especial atenció a Catalunya. Capdavanter en aquest tipus d’investigació en català, el llibre mostra les tendències actuals de la recerca internacional i integra Catalunya en el ric panorama de les múltiples identitats europees.
