Hardback, X+308 p., 156 x 234 mm. new ISBN 9782503527567. Marcia Colish is one of the most influential scholars of the history of medieval and early modern thought, the author of numerous books and scores of articles in the field, as well as a pioneering President of the Medieval Academy of America. This volume honours her accomplishments with papers by her many colleagues, friends, and former students, who are themselves prominent scholars from across a range of disciplines. The chapters are diverse chronologically and topically, yet they are all stimulated by themes that Prof. Colish has explored during her long and distinguished career. They address the richness of European intellectual history between the twelfth and the sixteenth centuries, treating the multiple heritages of philosophy, theology, political theory, historiography, classical reception, and many other subjects to which her scholarship extends. The volume demonstrates the power of ideas in the development of European history generally, revealing that the careful study of the works of the 'mind' does indeed 'matter'.

Hardback, approx. 250 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503542096. Alcuin wrote his De fide sanctae Trinitatis et de Incarnatione Christi in 802, as Charlemagne was concluding his decades-long war in Saxony. Considered by many to be Alcuin's masterpiece, the De fide was one of the most widely read and circulated works in the entire Alcuinian corpus; today it survives in 100 medieval manuscripts. Alcuin wrote specifically to provide guidelines for the catechetical instruction of pagan Saxons. His short treatise thus provides rare, direct evidence for the content of early medieval missionary preaching. Together with several companion texts, including a credal statement, a litany, and a series of questions and answers addressed to Alcuin's pupil Fredegisus, the De fide sheds light on a wide range of Carolingian-era theological preoccupations, with discussions on topics as diverse as the procession of the Holy Spirit, the Incarnation, the two natures of Christ, and the resurrection of the body.
