Honorius Augustodunensis, Exposition Of Selected Psalms, Ann W. Astell, David Welch
Honorius Augustodunensis, Exposition Of Selected Psalms, Ann W. Astell, David Welch
TEAMS Commentary Series
The abbreviated Psalms commentary by Honorius Augustodunensis (ca. 1070 – ca. 1140)—a redaction of his own, much larger commentary on the entire Psalter—participates in a long tradition of Christian interpretation of the Book of Psalms. A prolific author closely associated with Anselm of Canterbury, Rupert of Deutz, and Gilbert of Poitiers, Honorius wrote a massive commentary on the Psalms when the so-called “school of Laon” was at work on the Glossa ordinaria. Honorius’s work shares the academic interest of that school, while simultaneously serving the devotion of the Benedictine Reform. His Exposition of Selected Psalms highlights a tripartite division …
Reading The Old Norse-Icelandic Maríu Saga In Its Manuscript Contexts, Daniel Najork
Reading The Old Norse-Icelandic Maríu Saga In Its Manuscript Contexts, Daniel Najork
Northern Medieval World
Maríu saga, the Old Norse-Icelandic life of the Virgin Mary, survives in nineteen manuscripts. In the extant manuscripts Maríu saga rarely exists in the codex by itself. This study restores the saga to its manuscript contexts in order to better understand the meaning of the text within its manuscript matrix, why it was copied in the specific manuscripts it was, and how it was read and used by the different communities that preserved the manuscripts.
Sacred Journeys In The Counter-Reformation: Long-Distance Pilgrimage In Northwest Europe, Elizabeth Caroline Tingle
Sacred Journeys In The Counter-Reformation: Long-Distance Pilgrimage In Northwest Europe, Elizabeth Caroline Tingle
Research in Medieval and Early Modern Culture
Sacred Journeys in the Counter-Reformation examines long-distance pilgrimages to ancient, international shrines in northwestern Europe in the two centuries after Luther. In this region in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, saints' cults and pilgrimage were frequently contested, more so than in the Mediterranean world. France, the Low Countries and the British Isles were places of disputation and hostility between Protestant and Catholic; sacred landscapes and journeys came under attack and in some regions, were outlawed by the state. Taking as case studies hugely popular medieval shrines such as Compostela, Rocamadour, the Mont Saint-Michel and Lough Derg, the impact of Protestant …
Carolingian Commentaries On The Apocalypse By Theodulf And Smaragdus, Francis X. Gumerlock
Carolingian Commentaries On The Apocalypse By Theodulf And Smaragdus, Francis X. Gumerlock
TEAMS Commentary Series
In the early ninth-century Theodulf of Orleans and Smaragdus of Saint Mihiel served as advisers to Charlemagne. This book provides English translations of a Latin commentary on the Apocalypse written by Theodulf and three homilies on the Apocalypse by Smaragdus. A comprehensive essay introduces these texts, their authors, sources, and place in ninth-century biblical exegesis.
The Glossa Ordinaria On Romans, Michael Scott Woodward
The Glossa Ordinaria On Romans, Michael Scott Woodward
TEAMS Commentary Series
"The Gloss on Romans is a collection of sources from many periods and places, which accounts for its inconsistencies. And this is what gives the Gloss much of its charm. . . . The twelfth century was an age of gathering sources and commentaries, in theology (Lombard's Sentences), canon law (Gratian's Decretum), and biblical studies (the Glossa ordinaria). Education began to flourish into what would become universities, where the master's role was to elucidate traditional, authoritative texts. And chief among these was the Bible, not standing alone but with the accompanying Gloss." - from the introduction
The Liturgy Of The Medieval Church, Thomas Heffernan, E. Ann Matter
The Liturgy Of The Medieval Church, Thomas Heffernan, E. Ann Matter
TEAMS Varia
This volume seeks to address the needs of teachers and advanced students who are preparing classes on the Middle Ages or who find themselves confounded in their studies by reference to the various liturgies that were fundamental to the lives of medieval peoples. In a series of essays, scholars of the liturgy examine "The Shape of the Liturgical Year," "Particular Liturgies," "The Physical Setting of the Liturgy," "The Liturgy and Books," and "Liturgy and the Arts." A concluding essay, which originated in notes left behind by the late C. Clifford Flanigan, seeks to open the field, to examine "liturgy" within …
On The Truth Of Holy Scripture, John Wyclif, Ian Christopher Levy
On The Truth Of Holy Scripture, John Wyclif, Ian Christopher Levy
TEAMS Commentary Series
Wyclif sought the restoration of an idealized past even if that meant taking revolutionary steps in the present to recover what had been lost. His 1377-78 On the Truth of Holy Scripture represents such an effort in reform: the recognition of the inherent perfection and veracity of the Sacred Page which serves as the model for daily conduct, discourse, and worship, thereby forming the foundation upon which Christendom itself is to be ordered.

TEAMS Medieval German Texts in Bilingual Editions
These texts will be of interest because they represent a kind of writing - at the intersection of ecclesiastical and secular power, drawing on the whole range of medieval Latin learning, yet written in vernacular verse - that is not found elsewhere in the European Middle Ages. In addition, they may be of use in teaching since, although relatively short, they illustrate a great number of characteristic medieval ways of writing and can be linked to a number of quite remarkable historical figures.
Nicholas Of Lyra's Apocalypse Commentary, Philip D.W. Krey
Nicholas Of Lyra's Apocalypse Commentary, Philip D.W. Krey
TEAMS Commentary Series
Surveys of the history of biblical exegesis and, in particular, the history of Apocalypse commentaries rarely fail to allude to Nicholas of Lyra O.F.M. (1270-1349) as the greatest biblical exegete of the fourteenth century. Late medieval and Reformation verses were written about him. Nicholas was born in the town of Lyre, near Evreux in Normandy. Since Evreux was a center of Jewish studies, he was able to cultivate his interest in Hebrew and to become thoroughly acquainted with the Talmud, Midrash, and the works of Rashi (Solomon ben Issac, 1045-1105). Lyra's attraction to Rashi's literal method would have a profound …
Medieval Exegesis In Translation: Commentaries On The Book Of Ruth, Lesley Smith
Medieval Exegesis In Translation: Commentaries On The Book Of Ruth, Lesley Smith
TEAMS Commentary Series
This book brings together and translates from the medieval Latin a series of commentaries on the biblical book of Ruth, with the intention of introducing readers to medieval exegesis or biblical interpretation. . . . Ruth is the shortest book of the Old Testament, being only four chapters long. It is partly for this reason that it lends itself so well to a short book introducing medieval exegesis; but it is also of interest in itself. Ruth poses a number of exegetical problems, including the basic one of why such an odd book, in which God never appears as an …
