Raiding Saint Peter
This book argues that during the Middle Ages there was a pillaging problem attached to ecclesiastical interregna, that the nature of ecclesiastical elections contributed to the problem, and the problem in turn contributed to the initiation of the Great Western Schism.
Sauces & Shapes: Pasta the Italian Way
Winner of the International Association of Culinary Association (IACP) Award The indispensable cookbook for genuine Italian sauces and the traditional pasta shapes that go with them. Pasta is so universally popular in the United States that it can justifiably be called an American food. This book makes the case for keeping it Italian with recipes for sauces and soups as cooked in Italian homes today. There are authentic versions of such favorites as carbonara, bolognese, marinara, and Alfredo, as well as plenty of unusual but no less traditional sauces, based on roasts, ribs, rabbit, clams, eggplant, arugula, and mushrooms, to name but a few. Anyone who cooks or eats pasta needs this book. T...
A Companion to the Great Western Schism (1378-1417)
The division of the Church or Schism that took place between 1378 and 1417 had no precedent in Christianity. No conclave since the twelfth century had acted as had those in April and September 1378, electing two concurrent popes. This crisis was neither an issue of the authority claimed by the pope and the Holy Roman Emperor nor an issue of authority and liturgy. The Great Western Schism was unique because it forced upon Christianity a rethinking of the traditional medieval mental frame. It raised question of personality, authority, human fallibility, ecclesiastical jurisdiction and taxation, and in the end responsibility in holding power and authority. This collection presents the broadest range of experiences, center and periphery, clerical and lay, male and female, Christian and Muslim. Theology, including exegesis of Scripture, diplomacy, French literature, reform, art, and finance all receive attention.

Le populaire à table
« Dis-moi ce que tu manges, dis-moi comment tu bois... » Mais a-t-on encore soif quand on est « Chaste et Flétrie » ou « Père et Portier » ? Et la traque des traîtres, des félons et des Dalton laisse-t-elle le temps de pique-niquer ? Il est des héros qui ne mangent jamais (comment font-ils ?) et Margot ne saurait pleurer la bouche pleine. On sait pourtant qu’Athos avait le vin triste, et que Porthos a trinqué avec le Roi Soleil, et que l’agent 00X carbure au whisky, et qu’une bonne aventure gauloise ne peut se terminer que par un grand banquet... Un colloque roannais, riche de rencontres et péripéties, a évoqué la place que la littérature populaire fait à l’estomac et recensé ce que cet organe a inspiré, depuis deux siècles, de textes gais ou pathétiques, de lyrisme et de scandales, d’anathèmes et de fleurs de rhétorique. Ont été convoqués les feuilletonistes et les poètes, les auteurs de BD et les cinéastes, les romanciers des meilleurs terroirs, les muses de Cabaret et autres Madelon. Pour parvenir à la conclusion que la Gourmandise est le plus savoureux et le plus éloquent des péchés...
