Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Catalogue of Medieval Literature, Especially of the Romances of Chivalry: And Books Relating to the Customs, Costume, Art, and Pageantry of the Middle Ages According to Hallam, the Middle-Ages form a period of a thousand years, beginning with the establishment of the Frankish kingdom in Gaul under Clovis and ending with the invasion of Italy by Charles VIII of France in 1494. The intention of the present catalogue is to give a list of "the books of the Middle Ages" including some belated growths which appeared in the Renaissance. This requires a slight modification of Hallam's limits. Medieval literature inherited much from classical and post-classical times, but its own distinctive characteristics ad their root in the eighth century, and the days of chivalry cannot be said to ave passed away before the death, in 1519, of Maximilian I, or the fall of Bayard in 1524. Our Middle-Ages shall therefore begin about a.d.750-800, when the national legends, in which the mighty events of the fifth century had been distorted or transfigured, began to take written shape; and the panorama shall lose with the strange allegorical pictures furnished by the Tewrdank of 1517 and he Weiss Kunig of 1519. Chivalry had its birth in Gaul, and the lingua rustica of earlier times, as oonas it attained to the dignity of a written speech, became the language fromantic and chivalric literature. The first step towards the creation of that terature was taken by Karl the Great, when, in the later years of the eighth entury, he committed to writing the ancient heroic ballads of the Franks. These arbara et antiqvissima carmina, as Eginhart calls them, were undoubtedly the teutonic poems which formed the original elements of the Nibelangen-lied and he Heldenbuch, and embodied traditions of the great wars of the fifth century, lended with the primeval mythology of the Gothic and Germanic race. The Prankish language died out of Gaul when the empire of Karl the Great was broken up by his grandsons, and the heroic ballads receded to the east of the Rhine, but not without leaving permanent memorials of their existence in the intellectual life of France. Many of the French romances which in the twelfth century celebrated the gesta of Charlemagne and his Paladins, were based upon the lays of Frankish minstrels. The bi-lingual character of the people of Eastern Gaul in the ninth century is shown by the extant record of the compact of 842 between Charles the Bald and Louis the German, which comprises the first written specimen of the French language.

Download or read book Early Printed Narrative Literature in Western Europe written by Bart Besamusca and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume are concerned with early printed narrative texts in Western Europe. The aim of this book is to consider to what extent the shift from hand-written to printed books left its mark on narrative literature in a number of vernacular languages. Did the advent of printing bring about changes in the corpus of narrative texts when compared with the corpus extant in manuscript copies? Did narrative texts that already existed in manuscript form undergo significant modifications when they began to be printed? How did this crucial media development affect the nature of these narratives? Which strategies did early printers develop to make their texts commercially attractive? Which social classes were the target audiences for their editions? Around half of the articles focus on developments in the history of early printed narrative texts, others discuss publication strategies. This book provides an impetus for cross-linguistic research. It invites scholars from various disciplines to get involved in an international conversation about fifteenth- and sixteenth-century narrative literature.

This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Romances in the Department of Manuscripts in the British Museum, Vol. 3 The first two volumes of this Catalogue of Romances, issued in 1883 and 1893 respectively, were compiled by the late Mr. H. L. D. Ward. In the final revision of Vol. II. he was assisted by Mr. J. A. Herbert, who is now solely responsible for Vol. III., though in many cases he has been able to make use of Mr. Ward's preparatory notes. This volume includes no separate romances of any length, such as are to be found in its predecessors, but deals with the popular collections of Exempla, or short stories used for illustration by mediaeval preachers, and of similar tales, moralized or otherwise, both in prose and verse. Among them are the well-known works of Jacques de Vitry, Odo of Cheriton, Etienne de Bourbon and Robert Holcot, the Gesta Romanorum, William of Waddington's Manuel des Peches, Robert Manning's Handlyng Synne and the Dialogus Miraculorum of Caesarius of Heisterbach. A fourth volume, completing the Catalogue, will include Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and their precursors in Boccaccio's Decameron and elsewhere, and romances by Petrarch, Aeneas Sylvius and others, together with an Appendix containing Mss. acquired since the publication of the previous volumes or inadvertently omitted from them. A General Index to all four volumes will also be added. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Classics in the Medieval and Renaissance Classroom written by Juanita Feros Ruys and published by Brepols Pub. This book was released on 2013 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medievalists and Renaissance specialists contribute to this compelling volume examining how and why the classics of Greek and Latin culture were taught in various Western European curricula (including in England, Scotland, France, Germany, and Italy) from the tenth to the sixteenth centuries. By analysing some of the commentaries, glosses, and paraphrases of these classics that were deployed in medieval and Renaissance classrooms, and by offering greater insight into premodern pedagogic practice, the chapters here emphasize the 'pragmatic' aspects of humanist study. The volume proposes that the classics continued to be studied in the medieval and Renaissance periods not simply for their cultural or 'ornamental' value, but also for utilitarian reasons, for 'life lessons'. Because the volume goes beyond analysing the educational manuals surviving from the premodern period and attempts to elucidate the teaching methodology of the premodern period, it provides a nuanced insight into the formation of the premodern individual. The volume will therefore be of great interest to scholars and students interested in medieval and Renaissance history in general, as well as those interested in the history of educational theory and practice, or in the premodern reception of classical literature.
