The Vulgate Commentary on Ovid's Metamorphoses
Composed around 1250 by an unknown author in the region of Orleans, the Vulgate Commentary on Ovid's Metamorphoses is the most widely disseminated and reproduced medieval work on Ovid's epic compendium of classical mythology and materialist philosophy. This commentary both preserves the rich store of twelfth-century glossing on the Metamorphoses and incorporates new material of literary interest, while the marginal glosses in many respects reflect the scholar interests of an early thirteenth-century schoolmaster. The Vulgate Commentary is always transmitted as a series of interlinear and marginal glosses surrounding the text manuscript, whereas other earlier commentaries were independent of a full text of the poem. The Vulgate Commentary exercised a wide-ranging influence on the understanding and presentation of Ovid's Metamorphoses in the High Middle Ages and Renaissance, and the commentary exists in both French and Italian manuscripts.
Ovid in the Middle Ages
This book explores the extraordinary influence of Ovid upon the culture - learned, literary, artistic and popular - of medieval Europe.
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...
The Moralized Ovid
"The Benedictine preacher Pierre Bersuire (ca. 1290-1362), also known by his Latin name Petrus Berchorius, was a prolific author and translator who spent much of his life working in the elite literary circles at Avignon and Paris. Like so many of his contemporaries, Bersuire valued both the Bible and classical literature as sources of moral instruction. The Moralized Ovid, commonly referred to by its Latin title, Ovidius moralizatus, to distinguish it from the anonymous French vernacular Ovide moralisé, was arguably the most influential interpretation of Ovid's Metamorphoses in the High Middle Ages. The Moralized Ovid circulated in three distinct versions produced in Avignon and Paris betwe...
Reading the Ovidian Heroine
This study investigates the reception of Ovidian heroines in "Metamorphoses" commentaries written between 1100 and 1618 on the Continent in England. Medieval and early modern clerical readings of the feminine in Ovid reflect greater heterogeneity than is commonly alleged.
Incipitarium Ovidianum
Scholars have recently recognized the importance of the medieval and renaissance school tradition on classical authors for our understanding of literary theory and reading practices from the late antique period to 1600. Yet much of the primary evidence, necessary to such an investigation lies hidden in the manuscript repositories of Europe and North America. The Incipitarium Ovidianum will serve as a finding guide for scholars interested in the medieval and renaissance tradition of accessus, biographies, commentaries and Summae memoriales on the poetic corpus of Ovid. The Incipitarium lists alphabetically by their opening words all of the extant texts related to the study of Ovid from 400 to...
Italian Readers of Ovid from the Origins to Petrarch
In Italian Readers of Ovid from the Origins to Petrarch, Julie Van Peteghem examines Ovid’s influence on Italian poetry from its beginnings, through Dante, to Petrarch, situating it within the history of reading Ovid in medieval and early modern Italy.
Classica Et Beneventana
The Festschrift volume Classica et Beneventana, presented to Virginia Brown on the occasion of her 65th birthday, brings together twenty-one insightful new essays by leading scholars devoted to the fields of classical reception and Latin palaeography. The authors investigate a wide-range of topics such as the development and application of the Beneventan script, comparative codicology, uses of early liturgical manuscripts, medieval artes and biblical texts and their readers, and the reception and dissemination of classical texts during the Italian Renaissance. Since 1970, Virginia Brown has been a Senior Research Fellow at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies. She is recognized as o...
