Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Like New. First Edition. Bright, clean copy in slightly rubbed dj. A Tainted Mantle focuses on two works of Carolingian literature and art, Theodulf of Orleans' poem "Contra Iudices", and the ivory throne identified as the Cathedra Petri (the Throne of St Peter). Both works feature the pagan hero… Hercules, showing him not as a positive model for Carolingian rulers, as has often been suggested, but in fact as an embodiment of traditions of ancient paganism that were antithetical to early medieval Christianity. "Contra Iudices", written in AD 799-800 for Charlemagne and members of his court circle, includes a famous passage describing a silver vessel decorated with scenes from the life of Hercules. This passage is not an innocent literal description of an actual work of ancient art, but an invention by Theodulf that draws on classical sources, particularly Augustine's City of God. The Cathedra Petri, a throne made for Charlemagne's grandson Charles the Bald, includes a cycle of inlaid and gilded ivories depicting the 12 Labours of Hercules and six mon.

Brill, Leiden (.), 1990. 2nd revised and enlarged ed. XII,459p. Paperback. (Rare). 'C. is concerned, as she says, not with doctrinal viability but with influence - how Stoicism was used, or featured (sometimes unconsciously) in a variety of writers from grammarians such as Varro, through to poets, historians, and Church Fathers.… Writing primarily as a Medievalist, C. proclaims two main objectives: first, to show how Stoic influence, in cutting across the cultural boundaries of philosophy, literature, and law, has often been either exaggerated or inadequately recognized by scholars of different disciplines; secondly, C. wishes to 'orient the classical Latin writers to their medieval posterity. In appropriating Stoicism in their own works, they also became the channels of its transmission to the Latin west in he post-classical era' (vol.I, p.5). C. moves with assurance among the Latin writers, preserving a light touch with e.g. Horace and a good sense of perspective with e.g. the poetry of Virgil. (.) The scope and readability of C. makes her study a major achievement and a 'must' for library shelves.' (CHRIS EMLYN-JONES on the complete edition in two volumes, in Greece and Rome, 1987, p.104).

Add to basketHardback, xii + 347 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Illustrations:42 col., Language: English. ISBN 9780888442185. Summary In Europe, during the Middle Ages, classical Greek and Roman geography continued to provide the fundamental structure for knowing the world's places and peoples. From encyclopedic compendia such as the Natural Hist…ory of Pliny the Elder and its redaction in Julius Solinus's Polyhistor to the works of canonical Roman poets such as Virgil, Ovid, and Lucan, the geographical content of antique texts invited study and explication. Yet medieval authors well knew that classical spatial order, itself full of lacunae, only infrequently corresponded to their own reality. Dislocations: Maps, Classical Tradition, and Spatial Play in the European Middle Ages considers the ways in which medieval and, later, humanist geography absorbed and reinvented classical spatial models in order to address key questions of historical change, migration, and emerging national, regional, and linguistic identities. Drawing on a wide range of literary texts, maps, and geographical descriptions - and utilising the ancient but now largely discarded scholarly genre of the dialogue - Dislocations argues that medieval spatial representation was complex and richly textured, whether in the form of a careful gloss in a manuscript of Lucan's Civil War, or as the exuberant sexualized allegories of the fourteenth-century papal notary Opicinus de Canistris. The book also explores a further kind of dislocation: the surprising connections between medieval geographical thought and twentieth- and twenty-first-century visual arts, including Dadaism and the remarkable Mappamundi Suite of the Gujarati artist Gulammohammed Sheikh. While past spatial orders may be relegated to obscurity, they just as often linger - in archives, memories, and ruins - to be retrieved and reanimated in revealing ways. 0 g.
