Cultural Visions: Essays in the History of Culture
This collection opens with an inquiry into the assumptions and methods of the historical study of culture, comparing the new cultural history with the old. Thirteen essays follow, each defining a problem within a particular culture. In the first section, Biography and Autobiography, three scholars explore historically changing types of self-conception, each reflecting larger cultural meanings; essays included examine Italian Renaissance biographers and the autobiographies of Benjamin Franklin and Mohandas Gandhi. A second group of contributors explore problems raised by the writing of history itself, especially as it relates to a notion of culture. Here examples are drawn from the writings o...
The Medieval Natural World
How did medieval people make sense of their surroundings, and how did this change over the years as understanding and knowledge expanded? This new Seminar Study is designed to familiarise students of medieval history with the ways in which medieval people interpreted the world around them – how they rationalised their observations, and why they developed the models for understanding that they did. Most importantly, it shows how ideas changed over the medieval period, and why. With extensive primary source material, this book builds up a picture using medieval encyclopedias, prose literature and poetry, records of estate management, agricultural treatises, scientific works, annals and chronicles, as well as the evidence from art, architecture, archaeology and the landscape itself. An excellent introduction for undergraduate students of Medieval history, or for anyone with an interest in the medieval natural world.
Des palais en Espagne
La Casa de Velázquez de Madrid, à la fois Académie de France et École française de recherche en terre ibérique, était orpheline de son passé. Cet ouvrage tente de lui restituer une mémoire, à travers archives et témoignages. L'histoire d'une institution culturelle en terre étrangère est au carrefour de trois réalités profondes. Elle relève pleinement des relations internationales, bilatérales et multilatérales. Elle dépend également de l'évolution des sciences et des conditions politiques du pays fondateur. Enfin, elle apparaît toujours comme le résultat tangible de l'énergie et de l'imagination de certains hommes, au gré des conjonctures et des carrières. Enfantée en 1909, à travers l'Institut français de Madrid, La Casa, inaugurée en 1928, détruite en 1936 et réinstallée en 1959, est la benjamine d'un réseau international qui, d'Athènes à Rome, de l'Égypte à l'Extrême-Orient, entraîne les jeunes artistes et savants vers les sources des autres civilisations et de leurs peuples.
The Correspondence of Erasmus: Letters 446 to 593, 1516-1517
In the months following, covered in this volume of the CWE, from August 1516 to June 1517, the active exchange of letters that began with volume 3 continued, giving a vivid impression of the impact of Erasmus' great achievement upon his contemporaries.
Franciscan Literature of Religious Instruction before the Council of Trent
This book provides, for the first time, an exhaustive discussion of the Franciscan production of texts of religious instruction during the later medieval period (c. 1210-c. 1550). In eight chapters, it introduces the reader to the most important Franciscan sermon cycles, the Franciscan guidelines for living the life of evangelical perfection, the many Franciscan novice training manuals, the Franciscan catechisms and confession manuals, the Franciscan output of liturgical handbooks, the large number of Franciscan texts containing more wide-ranging forms of religious edification, and Franciscan prayer guides. This book provides medievalists and Renaissance scholars alike with a new tool to assess the intellectual and religious transformations between the thirteenth and the sixteenth century, and contributes to the current re-interpretation of the late medieval pastoral revolution.
