History

NewMedicine in the English Middle Ages Faye Getz

This book presents an engaging, detailedportrait of the people, ideas, and beliefsthat made up the world of Englishmedieval medicine between 750 and 1450.The institutions of court, church, universi-ty, and hospital—which would eventuallywork to separate medical practice fromother duties—had barely begun to exert aninfluence in medieval England, writes FayeGetz. Sufferers could seek healing frommen and women of all social ranks, andthe healing could encompass spiritual,legal, and philosophical as well as bodilyconcerns. Here the author presents anaccount of practitioners (EnglishChristians, Jews, and foreigners), of med-ical works written by the English, of theemerging legal and institutional world ofmedicine, and of the medical ideals presentamong the educated and social elite. Howmedical learning gained for itself an audi-ence is the central argument of this book,but the journey, as Getz shows, was anintricate one.

NewCorrespondenceModels of Letter-Writing from the Middle Ages to the Nineteenth CenturyRoger Chartier, Alain Boureau,and Cécile DauphinTranslated by Christopher Woodall

“In the days when new approaches tosources and cultures are rare, this workis exceptionally brilliant and convincing.The ‘how to’ books for letter writinghave never been so boldly and learnedlyscrutinized in their totality before.Chartier has done it again—with theinspired collaboration of Alain Boureauand Cécile Dauphin.”—Orest Ranum, Johns Hopkins University

Correspondence explores the history ofa fascinating cultural practice: the writingof letters. From the sixteenth to the eigh-teenth century, western societies served along apprenticeship in the culture of thewritten word. Although mastery of read-ing and writing was far from evenly dis-tributed, many tradesmen, shopkeepers,and artisans possessed these skills. A spe-cialized literature came into being whoseaim it was to regulate and control ordi-nary forms of letter-writing by instillingin people the difficult techniques thatthis writing entailed.

Toexplore Vico’s body of thought in all itsmonumental complexity, Mazzottahighlights the place of poetry, or“writerliness,” in Vico’s educational pro-ject, which links literature, history, reli-gion, philosophy, and politics. Beginningwith Vico’s autobiography, Mazzottaexplains that Vico’s heroic attempt tounite the arts and sciences was meant tooffer a desperately needed political unityto modern society.

ForthcomingMaster Builders of ByzantiumRobert Ousterhout

In the first major study to examineByzantine architecture from the perspectiveof its builders, Robert Ousterhout identifiesthe problems Byzantine masons commonlyencountered in the process of design andconstruction. From a careful analysis of thewritten evidence, the archaeological record,and—most importantly—the survivingbuildings, he concludes that Byzantinearchitecture was far more innovative thanhas previously been acknowledged.

Following preliminary observations onByzantine church architecture and its defin-ing characteristics, Ousterhout examinesthe textual sources, yielding a new under-standing of the identities and the respectiveroles of patrons, bureaucrats, and masons inthe building process. Narrowing his focusto the masons, or master builders, he clari-fies both their theoretical and their verypractical concerns in architectural design,suggesting that the master builders reliedon geometry and memory, rather than blue-prints, to guide their work. With more thantwo hundred carefully chosen illustra-tions—many published here for the firsttime—this is a must read for anyone inter-ested in Byzantine art and architecture.

From theheterogeneous imagery of the Crusaders tothe repellent iconography of social rejec-tion, from the significance of gruesome tor-ture scenes to the moral precepts thatshaped the enigmatic AshburnhamPentateuch, the studies in the first part ofImage and Belief provide stimulating exam-ples of recent research in iconography.

These two societies profoundlyinfluenced each other and their inter-change resulted in art of great richnessand diversity. The fourteen distinguishedand generously illustrated studies in thisvolume provide sharply focused views ofthe island’s artistic evolution in this peri-od, beginning with an archaeologicalreport on Early Christian graves built intoabandoned pagan tombs in the fifth centu-ry and ending with an essay on theextravagant Venetian-style Cypriot fres-coes of the sixteenth century.

Each of the 1,552miniatures in these tenth- to thirteenth-century manuscripts is reproduced atclose to actual size on 464 large-formatplates. The illustrations are organized byOld Testament episode, so that the vari-ous depictions of each biblical scene canbe easily studied and compared.

Three analyticalchapters investigate the origin of theiconography of the Octateuchs, the forma-tion and later development of the cycle ofthe illustrations, and the codicology, his-tory, and style of each of the extantByzantine manuscripts.

Carolyn Connor shows here thatByzantine ivory carvings—often assumed tohave been monochromatic—were originallybrightly colored. Most ivories today show noobvious traces of paint or stain, and manyscholars believe that the Byzantines pre-ferred the aesthetic of ivory’s natural,creamy color. However, Connor’s closeexamination of one hundred Late Antiqueand Byzantine ivories reveals that artists fre-quently colored ivories in bright hues of red,blue, green, and gold.
