Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Augustine of Hippo was one of the first authors to give rise to the needfor anthologies devoted to a single author. Today, over a hundredflorilegia dedicated solely to Augustines writings are known. Over thecourse of the Middle Ages, several of these collections provedinstrumental in giving access to the Bishop of Hippos large oeuvre, andin determining the direction of its reception. In fourteenchapters, this volume presents some important Augustinian florilegia,their sources, composition, context, afterlife, and the challengesinherent in editing and studying them. Beginning in Late Antiquity, withVincent of Lerins and Prosper of Aquitaine, the volume discusses severalmedieval and early modern florilegia, both well-known and more marginal,and concludes with their use by Augustines modern editors. As such,this book contributes to a better understanding of the reception ofAugustine throughout the Middle Ages and to the ways in which hisexceptional auctoritas took shape.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The manifold commentaries on the authoritative texts of Antiquity and the Middle Ages are increasingly being recognized as witnesses to a rich tradition of cultural reception and intellectual engagement. This renewed interest goes hand-in-hand with an increased demand for critical editions of the texts in question. However, the genre of the commentary presents a number of specific, sometimes unique challenges to the editor. An ancient or medieval text that comments on another one is inevitably shaped by it. The commentary can cite the commented work or copy its structure and regularly the two are presented together on the page, leading to complex relations between the texts and the manner of their presentation. Modern scholarship on the authoritative text that is commented on will often find it useful to consider the commentary. Vice versa, the editor of the commentary cannot turn a blind eye to the text commented on. Especially in the case of authoritative texts, both the commented text and the commentary usually have a complex transmission history. This volume explores the methodological challenges associated with the editing of commentaries on authoritative texts and shows their potential for the textual constitution of the latter ones. Bringing together twelve case studies spanning Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, on texts written in Greek and Latin from a variety of fields, including literature, theology, philosophy, medicine, and law, the volume offers a broad, interdisciplinary perspective on commentaries on authoritative texts and the editors' work to accurately reconstruct and present them.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The cultural and religious history from Antiquity through the Renaissance may be read through the lens of the rise and demise of auctoritates. Throughout this long period of about two millennia, many historical persons have been considered as exceptionally authoritative. Obviously, this authority derived from their personal achievements. But one does not become an authority on one's own. In many cases, the way an authority's achievements were received and disseminated by their contemporaries and later generations, was the determining factor in the construction of their authority. This volume focuses on the latter aspect: what are the mechanisms and strategies by which participants in intellectual life at large have shaped the authority of historical persons? On what basis, why and how were some persons singled out above their peers as exceptional auctoritates and by which processes did this continue (or discontinue) over time? What imposed geographical or other limits on the development and expansion of a person's auctoritas? Which circumstances led to the disintegration of the authority of persons previously considered to be authoritative? The case-studies in this volume reflect the dazzling variety of trajectories, concerns, actors and factors that contributed over a time span of two millennia to the fashioning of the postmortem and lasting authority of historical persons. This volume offers case studies which reflect the variety of trajectories, concerns, actors and factors that contributed to the fashioning of the postmortem and lasting authority of historical persons in premodern intellectual history: a time span of two millennia.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This volume contains the proceedings of the conference Ministerium Sermonis. An International Colloquium on North African Patristic Sermons (Malta, 8-10 April 2015) and hopes to give a new impetus to the study of late antique African preaching. Several contributions challenge accepted views regarding the corpus of North African homilies as well as common assumptions concerning supposedly North African sermon collections. Other contributions offer detailed philological, theological and rhetorical text analyses, and focus on the sermons of Augustine as well as on Donatist preaching and the corpus of Pseudo-Fulgentius. The present volume may be considered a sequel to the proceedings of the first two Ministerium Sermonis conferences (Leuven-Turnhout, 2008 and Rome, 2011), which have been published in the same series. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
