Book excerpt: "The Myrour of Recluses provides an edited text of British Library MS. Harley 2372, the only manuscript preserving the Middle English translation of the fourteenth-century Speculum Inclusorum. Of the four-part Latin original, the Middle English translation preserves the preface and all four chapters of Part 1 (discussing the motives for embracing closure) and the first two chapters of Parts 2 and 3 (deleting from each part only the third chapter on reading). Thus, the Middle English Myrour of Recluses treats fully the four motives for choosing enclosure and amply examines the nature and practice of prayer and meditation." "The Myrour of Recluses draws throughout on devotional and doctrinal material familiar to the general audiences of the popular religious manuals. Scriptural quotations are plentiful. The ascetic advice and the devotional and doctrinal instruction in The Myrour of Recluses serve the author's higher aim of securing for the recluses "the sweetness of the love of God and of contemplation."" "The edition presents the entire surviving Middle English text. Where chapters of the Middle English Myrour of Recluses are fragmentary, bracketed Modern English translations of the Latin original are supplied (with the Latin passages printed in Appendix A). In addition to a physical description of the manuscript, the introduction to the edition offers an assessment of the translator's aims and a consideration of the work's place within the vast body of Middle English religious prose. Following the edited text, the textual and explanatory notes address unusual emendations and unfamiliar words or allusions. Indices of the names and scriptural quotations found in the text are provided in Appendices B and C."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Download or read book Saints Scholars and Politicians written by Mathilde van Dijk and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past eighteen years, gender has become a major analytical tool in medieval studies. The purpose of this volume is to evaluate its use and to search for ways in which to improve and enhance its value. The authors address the question of how gender relates to other tools of medieval research. Several articles criticize the way in which an exclusive focus on gender tends to obscure the impact of other factors, for instance class, politics, economy, or the genre in which a source is written. Other articles address 'wrong' ways of using gender, for instance monolithic or anachronistic views of what constitutes differences between men and women.

Download or read book Hospitals Towns and the Professions written by Nigel Ramsay and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hospitals and almshouses were among the most familiar institutions of medieval England, and Hospitals, Towns and the Professions looks specifically at what books and manuscripts were collected in these common places. While every hospital would have been equipped with books for divine service, some also possessed large collections of more general library books. A great array of information about medieval institutional libraries is gathered in this volume, which includes an exceptionally detailed inventory from the English hospital of St Thomas in Rome. Hospitals, Towns and the Professions also includes book lists for various professional and clerical libraries, including those of the College of Arms, the Inns of Court and the Court of Archives in London, town guilds, grammar schools, bridge chapels, and the public libraries of medieval England, of which the most famous was in London's Guildhall. Together these inventories provide surprising and revealing insights into the role of the institution and the place of the written work during the middle ages.

Download or read book Women and Literature in Britain 1150 1500 written by Carol M. Meale and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-04-15 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays focuses on the questions of women's access to a written culture in medieval Britain and their representation within it. It explores women's engagement with Anglo-Norman, English and Welsh as well as Latin, and addresses issues including orality and literacy and women's exclusion from a written tradition. It considers the question of the levels of literacy attained by women, and contemporary attitudes to their acquisition of such skills, as well as the historical evidence for women's activity as writers, patrons and readers. It also examines the representation of women within different literary genres, both secular and religious - their possession or lack of power, and their roles as lovers, mothers and saints. This is the first such volume to focus on these issues within the specific framework of late medieval Britain, and as such constitutes a unique contribution to the study of women and medieval literary history.
