Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) was an 18th-century English theologian, Dissenter clergyman, natural philosopher, chemist, and liberal political theorist. He has historically been credited with the discovery of oxygen. During his lifetime, Priestley's considerable scientific reputation rested on his invention of soda water, his writings on electricity, and his discovery of several airs (gases). Priestley's science was integral to his theology, and he consistently tried to fuse Enlightenment rationalism with Christian theism. His committed Christian Unitarian beliefs got him into enormous trouble in England and he fled to America, finally settling in the woods of Northumberland, PA. where he is buried. It was a life full of discovery, praise, and vilification. The Discourses here include: The Duty of Mutual Exhortation; On Faith and Patience; On the Change Which Took Place in the Character of the Apostles After the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Parts I & II); On the Necessity of Self-Examination; On Having Our Conversation in Heaven; Doing All to the Glory of God; Resignation to the Will of God; On Being Perfect as God is Perfect; On Habitual Devotion; The Duty of Not Living to Ourselves; Of the Danger of Bad Habits; A Discourse on the Resurrection of Jesus; The Importance of Free Inquiry.

Hardback, 714 p., + 1 freestanding sheet, 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503032818. Peter von Blois (ca. 1130-1212) ist seit langem f?r seine Briefsammlung, in der er uns unter anderem faszinierende Einblicke in das angevinische Reich und das Leben am Hofe K"nig Heinrichs II. von England bietet, bekannt und ber?hmt. Doch als Dichter blieb Peter von Blois trotz der f?nf von ihm selbst in seiner Briefsammlung ver"ffentlichten rhythmischen Gedichte unbeachtet. Erst die Untersuchungen Otto Schumanns (1930) und Peter Dronkes (1976) machten auf diesen vernachl"ssigten Aspekt seines Schaffens aufmerksam. Dronke h"lt ihn neben Walter von Ch?tillon f?r den bedeutendsten lateinischen Lyriker des sp"ten 12. Jh. Auf Dronkes Werkkatalog von 52 authentischen und zugeschriebenen Gedichten beruht die vorliegende Edition. Im Laufe der Vorarbeiten wurden 2 von Dronke zugeschriebene Gedichten ausgeschieden, 3 anders gez"hlt, 9 zus"tzlich aufgenommen und zwei Gedichte zeitgen"ssischer Autoren mitabgedruckt, so daa die Edition insgesamt 61 Gedichte umfaat. Es ist das Ziel der Ausgabe, dieses Gedichtcorpus in einer kritischen und kommentierten 'Arbeitsedition' erstmals allgemein zug"nglich zu machen. Die Verfasserfrage mua, obwohl jetzt schon 10 Gedichte als zweifelsfrei authentisch nachgewiesen werden konnten, weiterhin als problematisch und in Teilen als ungekl"rt gelten. Die Edition versteht sich als Aufforderung an die Literaturgeschichte, die aufgeworfenen Probleme weiter zu verfolgen. Languages: Latin.

Hardback, CXXXVI+391 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503405513. Tout comme Nicephore Gregoras, Theodore Dexios, moine et probablement aussi pretre, fut condamne au concile de 1351, ou, sous l'oeuil bienveillant de l'empereur Jean VI Cantacuzene, la doctrine de Gregoire Palamas avait ete officiellement reconnue. Pendant les annees qu'il passa en prison, dans l'attente d'un appel qui n'aboutit jamais, Dexios redigea un long discours, denoncant aprement le parti pris dont l'empereur avait fait preuve des avant le concile. Au debut de 1355, apres l'abdication forcee de Jean VI, Theodore retrouva sa liberte mais son bonheur fut de courte duree puisque, peu apres, le front anti-Palamite qui jusque-la avait ete assez solide, se divisa sur la question de la nature de la lumiere que les apotres avaient vue lors de la Transfiguration. Dexios maintenait que cette lumiere ne venait pas de l'exterieur mais emanait du Christ lui-meme; d'autres lui reprochaient de ne pas vouloir admettre qu'il s'agissait d'une lumiere creee et de se rapprocher ainsi de l'ennemi commun, Gregoire Palamas. Touche par ces critiques, Dexios s'est defendu dans deux longues lettres et un traite de dimensions plus modestes. Les manuscrits ne donnent pas le nom de l'auteur ni du discours d'appel ni des trois ecrits dans lesquels il expose son differend avec ses anciens partisans, mais M. Polemis a apporte de nouvelles preuves en faveur de l'attribution a Theodore Dexios. Inconnues jusqu'a ce jour a quelques extraits pres, les oeuvres de ce dernier permettent une autre approche du concile de 1351 et du conflit qui mit rompit l'unanimite au sein de l'opposition anti-Palamite. Ajoutons que le recit d'une visite inattendue de ceux qui partageaint son opinion et venaient d'apprendre les reproches qu'on lui faisait, est d'une vivacite surprenante et temoigne du talent litteraire de Dexios.

Hardback, XVI+487 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503411316. In 1927 M. R. James published Latin Infancy Gospels, identified by him in two related but not identical manuscripts (one the British Library Arundel 404; the other from Hereford), together with a parallel text from the Irish manuscript known as the Leabhar Breac. Later researches brought to light more manuscripts of this Latin work, and also of the Irish text. James recognized that his apocryphal Latin Infancy text was compiled from a combination of the Protevangelium of James and a hitherto unknown text which he named "The Source". Recent research has identified a full Latin translation of the Protevangelium of James. A hitherto unrecognized Irish Infancy Narrative has also been identified in the Dublin manuscript known as the Liber Flavus Fergusiorum. A deep study of this related tradition was called for. This has been carried out over the past ten years by an Irish team in conjunction with Professor Daniel Kaestli and AELAC. The fruits of this labour are published in these two volumes. Volume 13 has a general introduction with a historical sketch of New Testament apocrypha in Ireland and a history of research on the subject. This is followed by a comparison of the Infancy Narratives in the Leabhar Breac and the Liber Flavus Fergusiorum. There are special introductions to these Infancy texts, followed by critical editions of the Irish texts, accompanied by English translations and rich annotation. Next there is similar treatment of the Irish versified Narrative (from ca. 700) of the Childhood Deeds of Jesus (commonly known as the Infancy Narrative (or Gospel) of Thomas. There is then (in volume 14, but with continuous pagination) the edition and translation of an Irish thirteenth-century poem with elements from Infancy Narratives, and both Latin and Irish texts on the wonders at Christ's birth, accompanied by translations and notes. The edition of the Irish material is followed by a critical edition of the full Arundel and Hereford forms of the Infancy Narrative (here referred to as the "J Compilation"), together with a detailed study of all the questions relating to this work. The volume concludes with a critical edition (by Rita Beyers) of the Latin text of the Protevangelium of James, accompanied by a detailed study of the work.. The work contains a detailed study of the Latin translations of the Protevangelium of James and the transmission of this work in the West. The "J Compilation" (a combination of the Protevangelium and texts of Pseudo-Matthew) can be traced back in manuscript transmission to ca. 800, and must have originated some time earlier. Behind it stands an earlier "I ("I" for Irish) Compilation" without influence from Pseudo-Matthew, the form found in the Irish witnesses. It is argued that M. R. James's "Source" may be of Judaeo-Christian origin and may really be the Gospel of the Nazoreans. Among the indexes there is a list of all the Irish words found in the texts. This edition of the Irish and related Latin texts is a major contribution to the study of the apocryphal Infancy Narratives. It should also be of particular interest to Celtic scholars, to students of Irish ecclesiastical learning, and in general to all medievalists. Languages: English.
Hardback, 662 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503526133. L'application a la periode merovingienne, de la notion de communication verticale - communication entre personnes de niveau culturel different - releve d'une approche neuve dans le domaine de la linguistique historique des langues romanes. Celle-ci a pour principale caracteristique de rendre au latin precarolingien sa fonction communicative. Les textes ne sont plus des parois irritantes qui nous separent d'une phase revolue de la langue parlee, mais des entites dynamiques qui constituent une partie integrante de la vitalite langagiere. Quatre vitae sont abordees sous cet angle. En posant la question de leur fonctionnement communicationnel, l'auteur s'interroge sur les modalites d'intercomprehension entre deux stades langagiers et sur les mecanismes de dynamisme entre un ecrit encore latin et un oral sans doute deja roman. Languages: Latin, French.

Le Thesaurus Lactantii parait immediatement apres le Thesaurus sancti Cypriani: deux africains si differentes, le premier, homme de lettres ne peu avant le martyre du second, homme d'action. Comme le note Le Professeur Tombeur dans l'introduction, "l'importance de l'oeuvre de Lactance, n'echappe a personne, quel que soit le jugement que l'on porte sur cet auteur, voir les sentiments qu'il suscite. Lactance est assurement une figure controversee qui seduit les uns et a tendance a en rebuter d'autres: il est en tout cas incontournable. Son interet reside notamment dans la rehabilitation des auteurs paiens et dans l'affirmation de la legitimite de la poesie pour acceder au message chretien. Toutefois, on l'a tellement qualifie de "Ciceron chretien", qu'on risque de ne pas le voir tel que le relevent ses "ipsissima uerba". Il est des lors bien necessaire de presenter la realite textuelle de Lactance selon les divers ordonnances retenues dans le cadre de ce Thesaurus Patrum Latinorum. Languages: Latin, French.
Hardback, CXIII+468 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503050898. C'est a l'abbaye de Clairvaux, a l'epoque de la canonisation de saint Bernard, que fut compile le Collectaneum Claraevallense (ms. Troyes, Bib. mun. 946), un recueil de textes edifiants a l'intention des moines. Heteroclite, d'organisation assez fruste, il mele a des recits de visions (Elisabeth de Schonau, Tnugdal, etc.) des textes concernant la celebration de la messe, des sentences de droit canon, et surtout une centaine de recits miraculeux, hagiographiques ou exemplaires, qui en font probablement le plus ancien recueil d'exempla compose par les cisterciens. Jamais recopie, ce manuscrit a pourtant ete amplement utilise par les auteurs de recueils plus recents, car il constituait, pour un tres grand nombre de recits cisterciens, la premiere mise par ecrit. Eucharistie et presence reelle, respect strict du a la regle, mouvements heretiques, possession demoniaque, relations avec l'au-dela : par la diversite de son contenu comme par son caractere partiellement original, il dessine un veritable tour d'horizon du monde tel que le percoivent les cisterciens vers la fin du xiie siecle. Languages: Latin French.
Hardback, CXCVI+360 p., + 40 pl., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503048017. The present publication presents the edition of an Irish treatise on the universe, composed in the ninth or tenth century. This work, which purportedly records a revelation of the mysteries of the cosmos uttered in angelic language by the soul of the apostle Philip, is characterized by the vividness of its imagery and the rich diversity of its content. Besides providing the most conservative version of the text, preserved in the Book of Lismore, the book supplies on facing pages a full critical edition of the second recension, found in four further manuscripts. Both versions are accompanied by translation. An introduction traces the text's transmission from the time of its composition down to the final flowering of the Irish scribal tradition in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; undertakes to identify its sources in earlier apocalyptic and cosmological literature; and subjects it to an in-depth linguistic analysis in order to place the question of its date in a clearer light. Individual aspects of the work's content are discussed in an extended commentary, while matters of specifically philological interest are covered in a section of textual notes. Languages: Latin.
Hardback, 858 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503505909. The remaining treatises of Basil - ascetic, dogmatic and exegetic - are given full coverage in the manner and style of the previous volumes. The bulk is taken up by the Ascetica. Twelve recensions of the Great Asketikon are identified, seven in Greek and five more in one of the nine languages of some of which the Greek original is no longer extant. Studied are also the versions into Armenian, Arabic, Coptic, Georgian, Latin, Old Slavonic and Syriac. Reconstituted for the first time ever is the complete Asketikon of Basil or Asketikon B made up of 370 erotapokriseis. The reconstituted Asketikon attests to the existence of authentic pieces eventually discarded or replaced by Basil himself because of changed opinion (on his part) or changed circumstances (provinces of Pontos, instead of Cappadocia, or vice versa). In addition the three Books against Eunomios, the treatise on the Holy Spirit to Amphilochios and the remaining works ascribed to Basil are treated. Languages: English.
Hardback, 818 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503505190. The second volume of the Bibliotheca Basiliana Vniversalis covers all the extant mss, translations and editions of Basil of Caesarea's Homiliae morales, and more than 300 homiletic type adaptations. In addition, it provides descriptions of a number of the mss and editions of the letters that were left out volume one, and of all the editions and translations both of the homilies and the letters from ca.1470 to the present. Besides the native tongue of Basil, some twenty other languages are represented. Throughout an attempt has been made at correcting some of the descriptions of the sixteenth- century composite editions which the homilies share with the letters and the ascetica. Also in this volume have been included many mss, editions and translations of the Vita s. Basilii of Ps.-Amphilochius (CPG 3253), the Laudatio of Ps.Ephraem (BHG 246) and the Laudatio of Ioannes XIII Glykys, Patriarch of Constantinople (1315-1319; BHG 262h) even when they were found in mss containing no works of Basil. The method employed in this volume is very similar to that adopted in the first volume. In the first three chapters all the corpora of the Homiliae and the Hexaemeron are described, in Greek and in eight ancient languages into which Basil has been translated, namely Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopic, Georgian, Latin, Old Slavonic and Syriac. Chapters Four to Ten are home to some 6000 mss written both in Greek (Classical en Demotic) and the eight languages. The mss are housed in some 400 libraries whose locations span from the Atlantic Ocean to the Volga River. Chapters eleven and twelve provide extensive coverage of all the editions from ca.1470 to the present. Languages: English.

Hardcover. 998 p., 160 x 240 mm, Languages: English, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503510156. The central literary genre in the life of medieval Christians and Jews, the sermon is an exceedingly rich but until recently under-utiliezd source for scholars of medieval culture. Extant in thousands of unedited manuscripts, sermons provide cruscial insights into the mentalities of medieval people: yet they also pose difficult methodological challenges. The Sermon, volume 81-83 in the series Typologie des sources du moyen age occidental, offers both a practical guide to methodology and extensive coverage of both Latin and vernacular texts. This significant work provides a bridge from sermonists to other scholars, inviting them into the study of this exciting and challenging genre. The Sermon provides guidelines for historical criticism that apply to the sermon genre. An extensive bibliography of works pertinent to the genre, opens the volume; it is divided into sections corresponding to the subsequent chapters. The book's Introduction focuses on the definition of the genre, attempting to establish a working typology of the sermon both as a literary genre and as a medieval text. The Jewish Sermon precedes the chapter on Christian sermons: for the latter the genre's development from Latin to the vernacular serves as the organizational guide. The Latin Sermon is represented in: Early Medieval Homilies and Homiliaries, The Twelfth-Century Monastic Sermon, the Sermons of the Twelfth-Century Schoolmasters and Canons, and the Latin Sermons after 1200. The chapter of medieval preaching in Italy encompasses both Latin and vernacular sermons, and the several chapters devoted to vernacular texts include: Old English; Middle English; Old Norse; French; Spanish; Portuguese and Catalan; and German.Several topics are discussed in each chapter: the definition of the genre, its development, its diffusion, its value for historians, the principal editions and/or manuscripts.

Hardback, approx. 400 pages ., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503545431. Quelle fut la destinee d?Adam et Eve apres leur expulsion du paradis? Le livre de la Genese n?en dit quasiment rien, mais la Vie d?Adam et Eve raconte comment ils ont progressivement decouvert les realites constitutives de la condition humaine : faim et recherche de la nourriture, douleurs de l?enfantement, hostilite du monde animal, maladie physique et mort. C?est la valeur anthropologique de ce recit apocryphe qui a fascine Jean-Pierre Pettorelli et l?a conduit, au terme de sa carriere professionelle, a entreprendre et a mener a bien une etude exhaustive des manuscrits de la version latine en vue d?une edition critique. Le present ouvrage, fruit de cette etude, apporte de nombreuses nouveautes. Il offre en regard le texte et la traduction des deux grandes recensions latines : la recension traditionnelle ou ?vulgate? (latin-V), dans une edition qui remplacera desormais celles de Meyer (1878) et de Mozley (1929) ; la recension decouverte par l?auteur dans le manuscrit de Paris lat. 3832 (latin-P), restee beaucoup plus proche des formes textuelles conservees en grec, en armenien et en georgien. L?ouvrage contient aussi l?edition avec apparat critique de chacune des redactions entre lesquelles se repartissent les 105 manuscrits de latin-V : redactions rhenanes (R), d?Allemagne du Sud (A), anglaise (E), de Boheme (B), tardives (T), incunables (Inc). Ce panorama tres complet de la tradition latine interessera en particulier les savants qui etudient la reception de la Vie d?Adam et Eve dans les langues vernaculaires. Enfin, l?ouvrage a ete enrichi, a l?initiative du comite editorial de la Series apocryphorum, d?une synopse, elaboree a frais nouveaux, qui permettra de comparer de maniere precise les deux recensions latines, la Vie grecque avec sa traduction, selon un texte etabli ad hoc, et les versions armenienne et georgienne dans une traduction de Bernard Outtier. L?edition nouvelle des textes latins et la synopse constitueront a l?avenir un instrument indispensable pour l?etude des grandes questions qui restent en debat a propos de la Vie d?Adam et Eve, notamment celle de la filiation entre le texte conserve en grec et les versions anciennes, et celle du milieu d?origine, juif ou chretien.

Hardback, CLXIV+308 p., 11 b/w ill., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503529202. Hieronymus von Prag, Magister der Universitaten von Paris, Koln, Heidelberg und Prag, ist durch Leben und Wirkung untrennbar mit seinem Freund Johannes Hus verbunden. Beide wurden als unverbesserliche Ketzer auf dem Konzil von Konstanz verurteilt und 1415 und 1416 kurz nacheinander verbrannt. Wahrend Hus als einer der wichtigsten Vorlaufer der europaischen Reformationen in das allgemeine Geschichtsbewusstsein einging, gilt dies nicht in gleichem Masse fur Hieronymus, wohl auch weil sein literarisches Werk weitgehend unbekannt ist. Dabei erfreute sich dieser non-konforme Philosoph zu Lebzeiten ungeheuren Ansehens: Poggio Bracciolini, Zeuge beim Prozess und bei der Hinrichtung, nannte Hieronymus von Prag einen Zweiten Cato, 'virum dignum memoria hominum sempiterna' (Brief 4 an Leonardo Aretino). Im vorliegenden Band werden erstmals gesammelt alle erhaltenen Schriften des Gelehrten vorgelegt, viele davon bisher ungedruckt: akademische Erorterungen, Streitschriften, politische und personliche Briefe (mit Dokumentation der unter Folter erzwungenen Abkehr von Hus und deren Rucknahme, die den Feuertod bewusst in Kauf nahm), und das Corpus delicti 'Scutum fidei', eine originelle Erklarung der Trinitat in einem Wassergleichnis. Die ausfuhrliche Einleitung vom besten Kenner der Zeit stellt das Werk und den Menschen auf den gebuhrenden Platz in der Geistesgeschichte, auch als kleiner Versuch einer Wiedergutmachung im Sinne von Poggio Bracciolini.
