The Carolingian Sacramentaries of Saint-Amand
The series of beautiful sacramentaries made at Saint-Amand in the later ninth century offer us unique insight into an early medieval scriptorium at work. These manuscripts contain principally the prayer texts for the celebration of the Mass, a ceremony which stood at the centre of monastic life in this period. They display how this largely neglected genre discloses creativity and initiative on the part of the monks of Saint-Amand, who re-organised and re-composed this especially versatile literature. They made their books uniquely comprehensive and full of insight into how the mass liturgy was re-made at a critical period in its development. This innovative study makes these sources accessible for the first time. In-depth study of script, decoration, and content enables a new appreciation of the context in which the deluxe Saint-Amand manuscripts were produced. It foregrounds ecclesiastical patronage, the political and intellectual dynamics at the waning of Carolingian power, and the intensive collaboration of scribes, artists, and liturgical composers, as well as the unique ways liturgical manuscripts can inform our understanding of medieval life and thought.

Cultures of Eschatology
In all religions, in the medieval West as in the East, ideas about the past, the present and the future were shaped by expectations related to the End. The volumes Cultures of Eschatology explore the many ways apocalyptic thought and visions of the end intersected with the development of pre-modern religio-political communities, with social changes and with the emergence of new intellectual and literary traditions. The two volumes present a wide variety of case studies from the early Christian communities of Antiquity, through the times of the Islamic invasion and the Crusades and up to modern receptions, from the Latin West to the Byzantine Empire, from South Yemen to the Hidden Lands of Ti...

Overschilderd: van Gregoriusmis naar Bijbeltekst
"De kerkmeesters van de protestants geworden Jacobikerk in Utrecht lieten in 1580/81 een schilderij hergebruiken voor een tekstbord met een Bijbelpassage. Op het schilderij knielde paus Gregorius de Grote voor een altaar waarop de lijdende Christus stond. Deze "Gregorius-mis" moest weg, want zowel het thema als elementen op het schilderij stuitten protestanten tegen de borst. Dat blijkt duidelijk uit de bijna 1000 bladzijden preken die bewaard zijn van Hubert Duifhuis, pastoor en later predikant van de gemeente. Het schilderij is met infraroodreflectografie zichtbaar gemaakt. De auteurs vergelijken het met vele andere Gregoriusmissen en analyseren betekenis en bedoeling van de voorstelling. Zij beschrijven ook de bezwaren van de protestanten en hun keuze voor de tekst die op het bord werd aangebracht. Het conflict in de jaren 1579-1605 tussen de Jacobigemeente en de veel strengere calvinisten in de stad, blijkt hierbij een grote rol te hebben gespeeld".
Patrons of the Old Faith
Patrons of the Old Faith is the first full-length study on the Catholic nobility in the Dutch Republic. Based on a detailed prosopographical analysis and through the examination of their marriage strategies, interaction with Protestants, religiosity and contributions to the Holland Mission, Jaap Geraerts shows how the behaviour of the Catholic nobility was highly distinctive and differed from their co-religionists and Protestant peers as it was influenced by a specific set of noble and Catholic values. Due to the synthesis of their noble and confessional identities, the Dutch Catholic nobility in Utrecht and Guelders acted as patrons of their faith and were instrumental for the survival of Catholicism in the Dutch Republic.
Roads to Health
In Roads to Health, G. Geltner demonstrates that urban dwellers in medieval Italy had a keen sense of the dangers to their health posed by conditions of overcrowding, shortages of food and clean water, air pollution, and the improper disposal of human and animal waste. He consults scientific, narrative, and normative sources that detailed and consistently denounced the physical and environmental hazards urban communities faced: latrines improperly installed and sewers blocked; animals left to roam free and carcasses left rotting on public byways; and thoroughfares congested by artisanal and commercial activities that impeded circulation, polluted waterways, and raised miasmas. However, as Ge...
