Penser en images les ordres religieux
A partir d'un corpus iconographique très riche (plus de 110 images), le présent ouvrage se propose de dégager comment la " pensée figurative " (Pierre Francastel) a conçu, au Moyen Age, la notion d'Ordo dans son acception d'" ordre religieux ". L'analyse des images, telle qu'elle est menée ici, nous conduit au cours du vaste champ anthropologique de la parenté spirituelle. Sont mises à jour les notions qui travaillent les documents figurés : les échos et les écarts entre les représentations de la " société des laïcs " et celles de la " société des moines " ; les rites de passage constitutifs des ordres ; le mythe des origines comme paradigme de la perfection ; la figure du p...
La théorie de la musique antique et médiévale
This is the final volume in the set of four collections of Michel Huglo's articles to be published in the Variorum series, and focuses on medieval music theory. The point of departure for Huglo's research was his doctoral dissertation on tonaries, published in 1971: as a consequence, he studied the manuscripts of music theory concerning plainchant, and, later, those with writings on music by authors of Late Antiquity as well as the Liber glossarum, with its many definitions of musical terms. In this volume, certain articles consider the interpretation or dissemination of texts, instruction in the art of plainchant, and musical instruction at the university. Others concern the manuscripts of ...
Norbert and Early Norbertine Spirituality
A collection of writings, appearing for the first time in English, pertaining to the spirituality of the 12th-century Norbertines (a.k.a. Order of Premonstratensians, the religious order founded by St. Norbert of Xanten).
Confabulations
This study, a companion to Peter Macardle's edition of the *Confabulationes*, examines the ways in which the colloquies relate to their Cologne background, to the major contemporary colloquy collections (particularly Erasmus's *Colloquia* and Mosellanus's *Paedologia*), and to the humanist renewal of Classical Latin. It also looks in detail at the documentary traces of Schotten's career, and of his networks of friendship and patronage, and tries to understand how he fitted into the structures of a university which has often been (wrongly) understood as hostile to humanism. Based on primary archival material, this is the only full-length study of this underrated German humanist's life and work.

Kurienuniversität und stadtrömische Universität von ca. 1300 bis 1471
Amongst the oldest universities that of the Roman curia is the Great Unkown; little is known of the university of Rome (and of Avignon till 1378). To compensate the loss of sources materials mainly from the Vatican were intensively analysed and a prosopography of the dons and students (694 biograms in annex) drawn up. Some results: all three were legal universities of the southern type. The curial university was itinerant, it was continued at the general councils. Only when the curia resided there untroubled, the local schools of Rome (and Avignon) became great, international universities and different forms of association with the curial university were tried on. Rome was sought after by students from all over Europe for study of legal theory whereas praxis was learned at the papal court. Another attraction of Rome were the possibilities of attaining higher academic grades without much ceremony (first in theology, later also in law).
Religious Institutes in Western Europe in the 19th and 20th Centuries
In the 19th century, religious institutes (orders and congregations) underwent an unprecedented revival. As partners in a large-scale religious modernisation movement, they were welcomed by the Roman Catholic Church in its pursuit of a new role in society (especially in the educational and health-care sectors). At the same time, the Church also deemed it necessary to keep their spectacular growth in check. Until the 1960s religious institutes played an important role both in society at large as well as within the church (for example, at the level of the missions, liturgy and art). Yet, relatively little research has been done on their development either in ecclesiastical or in broad cultural history. As a basis for further study, The European Forum on the History of Religious Insitutes in the 19th and 20th Centuries offers this study of the historiography of religious institutes and of their position in civil and canon law.
