The Booke of Ovyde Named Methamorphose

William Caxton

Edited by Richard Moll

In this marvellous edition of William Caxton’s Booke of Ovyde Named Methamorphose, Richard Moll has made available one of the most neglected texts produced by England’s famous printer. Existing in a single manuscript that was split in two parts and lost until its rediscovery in the 1960s, the Ovyde has garnered little critical attention. Yet as the first Englishing of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Caxton’s translation paved the way for later versions of a work that influenced nearly every medieval and Renaissance writer.

Moll very ably embeds the Ovyde in the complicated history of French verse models and prose commentaries that preceded it. His fine introduction also slyly refocuses our attention on Caxton’s role as a translator who painstakingly grappled with texts before ushering them into print. In doing so Moll has not only expanded the history of the English Ovidian tradition but has also made an important contribution to our understanding of Caxton.

Peter of Cornwall’s Book of Revelations

Robert Easting and Richard Sharpe

Studies and Texts 184 British Writers 5 2013. xvi, 615 pp. ISBN 978–0–88844–184–3 Cloth • $150.00

All books in the British Writers series are co-published with The Bodleian Library,

Oxford. Customers from Europe, including the United Kingdom, should order these titles from

Bodleian Library Publishing.

This volume succeeds admirably as an introduction to the works of Peter of Cornwall, prior of Holy Trinity, Aldgate, London (c. 1140–1221), with a particular focus on his monumental Liber reuelationum, preserved uniquely in London, Lambeth Palace Library, MS 51. The authors blend the old with the new in a series of revised articles and a large selection of editions, translations and discussions of unpublished texts, some unique to the Lambeth manuscript. The heart of this study is the publication of the Calendar, which documents the contents of the entire collection of the Liber reuelationum. It offers an indispensable guide to the source texts available to Peter and provides access to hundreds of often macabre but edifying tales that remain unedited. Its value as a finding tool is enhanced by three indices that enable the reader to search the Calendar by author, work, and name. In the course of illuminating the various contexts of Peter’s writings, the authors control an impressive span of interdisciplinary scholarship, which ranges over Irish and English monastic records, biblical scholarship, social history, vision literature, and the Cistercian Order in England and on the Continent.

John Gower Poems on Contemporary Events Edited by David R. Carlson Verse translation by A.G. Rigg

One of the basic tasks of boys in grammar schools in England up to the 1530s was to compose and study Latin sentences. Collections of such sentences survive in manuscripts and printed books from the 1410s to the 1520s. They can often be traced to particular schools or teachers, and provide a rich source of evidence about education and society during the period.

This book contains an edition of eleven manuscript collections of exercises and one printed collection. Together with four collections of the early sixteenth century that have already been published, it makes available to readers the vast majority of this genre of evidence. A general introduction explains the nature and contents of the exercises, and there is a detailed introduction to each text. Translations of Latin and Middle English are provided, along with copious notes and an index listing all the topics of the exercises.

In his latest of many distinguished contributions to the history of medieval education, Nicholas Orme edits and translates into modern English twelve sets of the translation exercises known as ‘latins.’ Devised to teach Anglophone boys the basics of Latin composition, these hundreds of short texts do much more than illustrate pedagogical methods that continued in use even as medieval gave way to humanist Latin in the schools. They provide fascinating glimpses of fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century English popular culture and everyday life as viewed by adolescents aspiring to worldly success while enduring outbreaks of plague, bad meals, and especially the master’s harsh discipline.

A proper understanding of Elizabethan England, scholars now realize, requires careful consideration of the previously maligned and marginalized Catholic perspective. Elizabethan Jesuits, albeit few in number, loom large in this perspective because of their spiritual writings, controversial treatises, devotional poetry, and archival remains, as well as the “moral panic” occasioned by their reputation within the Elizabethan government. England provided the new Society of Jesus with unique opportunities and special challenges. The few Jesuits within the kingdom lived and worked clandestinely, oftentimes in great fear and without the safety of a religious community, an ecclesiastical structure, and government approbation.

The articles collected here, some of which appear in English for the first time, consider different aspects of their ministries as they formulated positions on occasional conformity to the Established Church, martyrologies, succession to the English throne, and religious involvement in political matters, as well as the difficulty of maintaining the support of their often perplexed continental colleagues.

Robert Grosseteste and His Intellectual Milieu

Robert Grosseteste (ca 1170–1253) has many claims on our attention. As a theologian, philosopher, scientist, translator, educator, pastor, and bishop he left an enduring mark on the scholarly, ecclesiastical, and political life of England. This volume focuses on his place in the intellectual life of his time and on his written legacy. It includes scholarly editions and English versions of Grosseteste’s On Light, his Latin translation of John of Damascus’s Dialogue of the Christian and the Saracen, and his Sermon 86 on the Ten Commandments – three texts which demonstrate the range of their author’s thought and make important contributions to their respective fields.

The De diversitate temporum, written in the early eleventh century by Alpert of Metz, is one of the indispensable contemporary accounts for our understanding of the history of the Low Countries at the turn of the first millennium. With a keen eye for detail, Alpert offers insightful anecdotes about people from all walks of life, while at the same time providing a regional perspective on the important political, social, economic, and military affairs of the period.

In addition to its significance for the history of the Low Countries, Alpert’s work provides considerable insight into the organization of the German kingdom at a point of transition that was marked by the end of the Ottonian dynasty with the death of Henry II in 1024.

The Trial of the Talmud that took place in Paris in 1240 has been the subject of a number of trenchant studies over the years. The present volume, with its felicitous, annotated translations of the Hebrew protocol along with a series of crucial papal letters and other church documents, places before an English-language readership for the first time a corpus of the essential primary texts that have framed the earlier scholarly discussions and analyses. The masterful overview by Robert Chazan effectively locates this disputation in its historical and literary contexts through a deft, critical synthesis of the previous studies; it also offers new insights which will undoubtedly serve to shape further discussion of this episode. This volume should be of great interest to scholars and students of Jewish history and thought, Jewish–Christian relations, and polemical literature of the middle ages.

William of Auvergne, bishop of Paris from 1228 to his death in 1249, was not only one of the most prolific writers in philosophy and theology of the first half of the thirteenth century but also one of the first to use the new translations of Greek and Islamic thought that poured into the Latin West in that century.

On Morals, the second part of William’s treatise On the Virtues and the Vices, forms one component of his vast The Teaching on God in the Mode of Wisdom. In On Morals he extols the value of the nine virtues – faith, fear, hope, charity, piety, zeal, poverty, humility, and patience – in a sophisticated narrative where each of the virtues speaks for itself, explaining its importance.

Bacon’s De signis is one of the most important discussions of semiotics in the thirteenth century, both thorough and innovative in its account of the types of signs; the relationship between words, things and mental representations; and the types of analogy and equivocation. Maloney’s valuable introduction places the work within Bacon’s corpus and provides a guide to the difficult text, demonstrating the significance and originality of Bacon’s distinctions and positions.

Thomas Hatfield (c. 1310–1381) rose from origins amongst the Yorkshire gentry to become a valued royal servant under King Edward III. In 1345 he was elected Bishop of Durham, an office he held until his death. As bishop he retained a strong connection with royal service. He was also employed in the management of northern England and England’s relations with Scotland. At the same time, he remained a dedicated advocate of the autonomy of the Durham palatinate over which he ruled as bishop. Hatfield’s long episcopacy ensured that he made his mark on his bishopric and on the cathedral church of Durham, where his elaborate tomb is still seen. Hatfield College, a college of Durham University, is named after him.

Based on a series of lectures given at Hatfield College in 2010, the assumed seven hundredth anniversary of Thomas Hatfield’s birth, this volume highlights the unique military, political, and clerical roles he performed and his notable legacies. The studies in this volume advance knowledge of both the man and his remarkable career and, in so doing, enhance understanding of the wider secular and religious world in which he lived.

Edited by Anthony Bash

The House of Fame is an omnivorous poem. Like its own “House of Rumour,” it draws in a multiplicity of material: literary and technological; old and new; learned and lewde. When Nicholas Havely’s edition of Chaucer’s fantastical dream-poem first appeared, reviewers called it “essential reading for those planning to write about the House of Fame” (Speculum), and “an edition which will be useful and informative to both students and Chaucer scholars alike” (RES).

In this new version of Havely’s edition, the introduction and commentary have been thoroughly revised to take account of recent scholarship on the poem, glossing in footnotes to the text and at the end of the volume has been extended, and a number of minor errors have been corrected.

Machan Second edition • DMRT 1. 2008. viii, 142 pp. ISBN 978–0–88844–561–2 • $22.95 Vafþrúðnismál recounts how one day the mysterious and powerful god Óðinn visits the hall of an ancient giant named Vafþrúðnir. There the two engage in a wisdom contest about how the world was created, who inhabits it, and what will come of it when the gods and giants battle one last time at the world-ending Ragnarǫk. By the time the game ends, and the poem with it, the reader has witnessed a vista not only of the terror and mystery of medieval Scandinavia, but of its beauty as well.

Robert Grosseteste’s treatise De colore is presented here in an authoritative new critical edition, with translation, commentary on its context, and a functional analysis from the perspective of modern science. The volume emanates from a series of interdisciplinary meetings, involving medieval specialists (from history, literary studies, history of philosophy, and palaeography) and modern scientists (from psychology and physics). This unique combination of insights allows new and deeper appreciation of Grosseteste’s treatise and the significance of his methods and observations. Here within one interdisciplinary volume, the authors give us a critical edition that is not only set in its historical context but is also powerfully interpreted by modern colour science. john mollon Professor of Visual Neuroscience Cambridge University

Beneventan Discoveries is a fitting tribute to a remarkable scholar and will prove of interest to readers in diverse fields, from palaeography, codicology, and the history of script to classical studies and liturgy.”
