Book The Practice of the Bible in the Middle Ages

Download or read book The Practice of the Bible in the Middle Ages written by Susan Boynton and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, specialists in literature, theology, liturgy, manuscript studies, and history introduce the medieval culture of the Bible in Western Christianity. Emphasizing the living quality of the text and the unique literary traditions that arose from it, they show the many ways in which the Bible was read, performed, recorded, and interpreted by various groups in medieval Europe. An initial orientation introduces the origins, components, and organization of medieval Bibles. Subsequent chapters address the use of the Bible in teaching and preaching, the production and purpose of Biblical manuscripts in religious life, early vernacular versions of the Bible, its influence on medieval historical accounts, the relationship between the Bible and monasticism, and instances of privileged and practical use, as well as the various forms the text took in different parts of Europe. The dedicated merging of disciplines, both within each chapter and overall in the book, enable readers to encounter the Bible in much the same way as it was once experienced: on multiple levels and registers, through different lenses and screens, and always personally and intimately.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth novel in the adventures of Captain Alatriste, a seventeenth-century swashbuckler and “a twenty-first-century literary phenomenon”(Entertainment Weekly). In the cosmopolitan world of seventeenth-century Madrid, Captain Alatriste and his protégé Íñigo are fish out of water. But the king is determined to keep Alatriste on retainer—regardless of whether his "employment" brings the captain uncomfortably close to old enemies. Alatriste begins an affair with the famous and beautiful actress, María Castro, but soon discovers that the cost of her favors may be more than he bargained for—especially when he and Íñigo become unwilling participants in a court conspiracy that could lead them both to the gallows.

The book delves into the origins of the Spanish Inquisition, its key figures, and the methods used to enforce religious orthodoxy. Llorente's detailed descriptions and analysis provide readers with an in-depth understanding of the Inquisition's impact on Spanish society and culture. Written in a scholarly and objective tone, this work serves as a valuable resource for academics and history enthusiasts interested in this dark chapter of Spanish history.

His background in religious institutions and his commitment to uncovering the truth behind the Inquisition give the book a unique perspective and credibility. I highly recommend 'The History of the Inquisition of Spain' to anyone seeking a thorough and well-researched account of this complex historical period. Llorente's expertise and attention to detail make this book a must-read for those interested in the Spanish Inquisition and its lasting effects on Spain.
