Abbreviating Middle English - Scribal Practices, Visual Texts And Medieval Multimodalities

by Justyna Rogos-Hebda

~~145,09€~~ 130,58€ 10% OFF

 Abbreviating Middle English: Scribal practices, Visual Texts and Medieval Multimodalities investigates the changing dynamics of scribal abbreviating practices in a corpus of late Middle English manuscripts of Richard Rolle’s, John Lydgate’s and John Gower’s works and reinterprets these practices from new perspectives of visual pragmatics, medieval multimodalities and visual code-switching. Spanning the boundaries of manuscript studies, cultural semiotics and text-image approaches to pre-modern written sources, the book studies scribal abbreviations and medieval visuality and links them with modern practices of textuality by combining tools and methods of traditional disciplines employed in the study of historical texts as well as those developed for the analyses of modern discourse. Justyna Rogos-Hebda outlines the main directions in abbreviation studies, describes research methods and considers the broader developments in manuscript studies integrating aspects of materialist philology, multimodality theory, visual pragmatics and visual and code-switching into descriptive-analytical models of medieval textualities. Rogos-Hebda aims to problematize abbreviation within the socio-cultural contexts of medieval mentalities, Christian hermeneutics and Middle English multilingualism to unpack the multilayered motivations for the practices of scribal communities.

Dante And His Circle - Education, Script And Image

by Julia Bolton Holloway

~~145,74€~~ 131,17€ 10% OFF

 In this book, Julia Bolton Holloway makes use of primary materials in documents, manuscripts and stone monuments in Florence, to place Dante''s literary career in its rich context. Dante and His Circle discusses the encyclopaedic multicultural education in classical literature, law, ethics, rhetoric, diplomacy, poetry, music and cosmology Brunetto Latino gave to Guido Cavalcante, Dante Alighieri and Francesco da Barberino. Bolton Holloway traces Latino’s use of Arabic methods he had learned at the Court of Alfonso X el Sabio in Spain in 1260. Next Latino dictates his ''Rettorica'', ''Tesoretto'' and ''Tesoro'' in Italian to his students, following the Sicilian Vespers, the manuscripts of their circle later coming to be re-edited, illustrated and published by Dante''s fellow student, Francesco da Barberino, who survived them all and who likewise copied Alfonsine methods for producing the ''Danti del Cento'' manuscripts of the ''Commedia''. The book ends by discussing Dante''s Decolonialism. Each chapter provides Study Questions for further research.

Contradictory Muslims In The Literature Of Medieval Iberian Christians

by Marcelo E. Fuentes

132,49€ + 10% CARD

 This book argues that literary and historiographical works written by Iberian Christians between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries promoted contradictory representations of Muslims in order to advocate for their colonization through the affirmation of Christian supremacy. Ambivalent depictions of cultural difference are essential for colonizers to promote their own superiority, as explained by postcolonial critics and observed in medieval and early modern texts in Castilian, Catalan, and Portuguese, such as the Cantar de mio Cid, Cantigas de Santa Maria, Llibre dels fets, Estoria de España, Crónica geral de 1344, Tirant lo Blanch, and Os Lusíadas. In all these works, the contradictions of Muslim enemies, allies, and subjects allow Christian leaders to prevail and profit through their opposition and collaboration with them. Such colonial dynamics of simultaneous belligerence and assimilation determined the ways in which Portugal, Spain, and later European powers interacted with non-Christians in Africa, Asia, and even the Americas.

Hybridity In The Literature Of Medieval England

by Rosanne P. Gasse

145,74€ + 10% CARD

 Hybridity in the Literature of Medieval England offers a wide-ranging exploration of hybridity in medieval English literature. Anxiety about hybridity surfaces in characters of mixed ethnic identity in the romances. But anxiety is found also in the intersection of the natural and the supernatural and its site can be located inside the human body’s unstable physical frame, living and dead, as much as in the cultural and social forces at work upon the human body politic at large. Hybridity is unlike other constructs of difference in that, while it is grounded in difference, hybridity points toward sameness. The four types of hybridity studied in medieval English literature show that hybridity can resolve the problems caused by difference. Understanding medieval hybridity can help us to deal with our own contemporary struggles with the mixtures of our own lives and societies.
