The Glossa Ordinaria on Romans - - Bog - Medieval Institute Publications - Plusbog.dk

The Glossa Ordinaria on Romans - - Bog - Medieval Institute Publications - Plusbog.dk

"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 Scale of Perfection - Walter Hilton - Bog - Medieval Institute Publications - Plusbog.dk

The Scale of Perfection - Walter Hilton - Bog - Medieval Institute Publications - Plusbog.dk

Augustinian canon Walter Hilton’s The Scale of Perfection maintains a secure place among the major mystical writings that flourished in fourteenth-century England. Composed between 1380 and 1396, The Scale of Perfection is addressed to a woman who has recently taken her religious vows, and defends Hilton’s orthodox beliefs with strikingly visual imagery. Written over two books of more than 40,000 words each, the titular Scale describes a stairway to heaven which the religious can ascend by following Hilton’s moral advice; his topics range from defining the contemplative life and overcoming the seven deadly sins to reforming the human soul in the divine image of God and opening one’s inner eye. A popular treatise, it circulated in 42 manuscripts, was translated into Latin, and was printed by Wynkyn de Worde. While there have been multiple translations of the Scale , this is the first complete edition of the Middle English text.

Six Scottish Courtly and Chivalric Poems, Including Lyndsay's Squyer Meldrum - - Bog - Medieval Institute Publications - Plusbog.dk

Six Scottish Courtly and Chivalric Poems, Including Lyndsay's Squyer Meldrum - - Bog - Medieval Institute Publications - Plusbog.dk

These six poems explore late medieval Scotland’s engagement with courtly and chivalric values. Sir David Lyndsay’s sixteenth-century Historie and Testament of Squyer Meldrum blend comedy, tragedy and medieval romance to tell the biography of the real-life William Meldrum, a work which C. S. Lewis compared favorably to Chaucer’s canon. Lyndsay’s comic Answer to the Kingis Flyting cautions the promiscuous young king James V. In the three anonymous fifteenth-century poems, Robert Bruce is added to the traditional “Nine Worthies” of chivalry in the Balletis of the Nine Nobles ; the tragic early death of the French dauphin’s Scottish bride is lamented in Complaint for the Death of Margaret , and moral and chivalric conduct is exemplified by the heraldic beast-narrators of the Talis of the Fyve Bestes . With extensive introductions, notes, and an Older Scots reading guide, this edition serves as a primer to important texts in the medieval Scottish tradition.

The Northern Homily Cycle - - Bog - Medieval Institute Publications - Plusbog.dk

The Northern Homily Cycle - - Bog - Medieval Institute Publications - Plusbog.dk

Probably composed from 1295–1306 by an unnamed Augustinian canon, the Northern Homily Cycle is one of the earliest sermon cycles written in the vernacular to help lay parishioners make sense of the Latin Gospel readings that accompanied every Sunday mass. Each sermon begins with a Latin rubric from the Gospel lesson and a Middle English paraphrase, followed by a related homily (or lesson) drawn from patristic exegesis, and an illustrative exemplum—with all the English versified in rhyme. Recurring themes include pity for the poor, anger at economic inequality, and condemnation of corrupt clergy. The cycle’s textual sources, twenty surviving manuscripts in three distinct recensions, attests to its enduring popularity. This volume presents selections from the first recension, edited from two of the earliest manuscripts whose Yorkshire dialect approximates the original text’s northern language. Anne Thompson’s introduction and notes provide historical context, an overview of the liturgical calendar, and sources for individual sermons.
