Initiating the Millennium
This is the first English-language work devoted to the Avignon Society, which ranks as one of the most remarkable and influential initiatic societies in Europe between 1779 and 1807. Influenced by the burgeoning strand of illuminist high-degree freemasonry, the Avignon Society, nevertheless, developed a unique culture that incorporated strands of Western esotericism within a millenarian framework.
Fifteenth-Century Studies 38
Annual collection of essays on diverse aspects of the fifteenth century, this year emphasizing topics in medieval literature. The fifteenth century defies consensus on fundamental issues; most scholars agree, however, that the period outgrew the Middle Ages, that it was a time of transition and a passage to modern times. Fifteenth-Century Studiesoffers essays on diverse aspects of the period, including liberal and fine arts, historiography, medicine, and religion. Volume 38 addresses a broad spectrum of topics: monastic reformation of domestic space in Richard Whitford's Werke for Housholders; Margery Kempe and spectatorship in medieval drama; The Book of Margery Kempe and the trial of Joan ...

The World of Eleanor of Aquitaine
A revisionist approach to Eleanor of Aquitaine and the political, social, cultural and religious world in which she lived. Eleanor of Aquitaine (1124-1204) is one of the most important and well-known figures of the Middle Ages; she exercised a huge influence on both the course of history, and on the cultural life, of the time. The essays in this collection use her as a point of entry into wider-ranging discussions of the literary, social, political and religious milieux into which she was born, and to which she contributed; they address many of the misconceptions that have grown around both Eleanor herself and the medieval Midi in general, and open up new areas of debate. Topics explored inc...
Albertino Mussato: The Making of a Poet Laureate
This book examines the life and political career of Albertino Mussato (1261–1329), a Paduan poet, historian and politician. Mussato was one of the first writers of the late medieval period to begin reviving classical Latin in his works. His classical style tragic drama Ecerinis, inspired by the writings of Seneca, paved the way for him to be crowned as the first poet laureate since antiquity. This work outlines how Mussato depicted the course of his own career, from being an impoverished teenager of insignificant birth to becoming a celebrated poet and scholar, as well as an influential political figure. It looks specifically at the years leading up to Mussato’s public coronation, on 3rd...
Las jarchas romances: Voces de la Iberia medieval
La jarcha es una breve estrofa, típicamente la de una canción cantada por una mujer, citada como parte final de un poema en árabe o hebreo llamado moaxaja. El género tiene su origen en al-Ándalus, en la Iberia medieval. Desde los primeros estudios modernos de las jarchas con texto romance, por los lingüistas Stern y García Gómez, ha pasado más de medio siglo. Este libro supone una actualización del estudio de las jarchas romances, teniendo en cuenta los más recientes avances en teorías como las de la sociología de la lengua en el ámbito lingüístico, la crítica feminista en el ámbito literario, así como el materialismo cultural en el ámbito sociocultural. El arte, incluida...

A Basis for Scientific and Engineering Translation
Annotation This handbook and the accompanying e-book attack many of the most crucial difficulties encountered by both native and non-native English speakers when translating scientific and engineering material from German.
