Bible Missals and the Medieval Dominican Liturgy
Bible Missals are manuscripts that integrate liturgical prayers for the Mass with the scriptural texts of the Latin Vulgate. Long overlooked by scholars, Bible Missals offer important evidence for the development of the medieval liturgy and the liturgical use of scripture by medieval Christians. This monograph is the first comprehensive analysis of the codicology and contents of Bible Missals. Mostly produced in the first half of the 13th century by professional book makers in centers like Paris and Oxford, these hybrid manuscripts were customized for secular, monastic, and mendicant patrons. This monograph focuses on Dominican Bible Missals, the largest group within the repertoire, providing detailed codicological descriptions of each manuscript and analyzing their texts for the Order of Mass and selected liturgical formularies, including prayers for the feast of St. Dominic. For medieval Christians, the words and events of scripture were continually called to mind and reenacted in the sacramental rites of the Mass. Bible Missals provide important material evidence for this interplay between word and sacrament.

E codicibus impressisque
Aan de wetenschappelijke studie van het boek zal de naam van mevrouw Elly Cockx-Indestege, recentelijk ere-conservator van de afdeling Kostbare Werken in de Koninklijke Bibliotheek van Belgie te Brussel, voor altijd verbonden blijven. Als blijk van hun hoge waardering voor haar persoon en werk in wijde kring hebben tachtig auteurs - onder wie vele gerenommeerde onderzoekers op het gebied van de boekwetenschap - uit West- en Centraal-Europa, alsook uit de Verenigde Staten, met hun bijdragen de feestbundel E Codicibus Impressisque samengesteld. Deze bestaat uit drie overvloedig geillustreerde volumineuze delen. Het eerste deel bevat artikelen over handschriften, incunabelen en kalligrafie. Het tweede deel handelt over drukken van de zestiende tot de twintigste eeuw. In het derde deel verschijnen studies over band en papier, verzamelaars en verzamelingen.
The Catholic Church and the Dutch Bible
In The Catholic Church and the Bible: From the Council of Trent to the Jansenist Controversy (1564–1733), Els Agten studies the impact of Jansenism and anti–Jansenism on the ideas regarding vernacular Bible reading and Bible production in the Low Countries in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The book provides a review of book censorship during this time. Furthermore, it analyses the ideas and the writings of ten protagonists, including theologians, Bible translators, ecclesiastical authorities and representatives of Port-Royal. In particular, the author demonstrates how, even as their opponents took a more cautious position, the Jansenists encouraged the laity, including women and children, to read the Bible without any restrictions.

Textual and Visual Representations of Power and Justice in Medieval France
Thoroughly interdisciplinary in approach, this volume examines how concepts such as the exercising of power, the distribution of justice, and transgression against the law were treated in both textual and pictorial terms in works produced and circulated in medieval French manuscripts and early printed books. Analysing texts ranging from romances, political allegories, chivalric biographies, and catalogues of famous men and women, through saints’ lives, mystery plays and Books of Hours, to works of Roman, canon and customary law, these studies offer new insights into the diverse ways in which the language and imagery of politics and justice permeated French culture, particularly in the late...
