Barking Abbey (founded c. 666) is hugely significant for those studying the literary production by and patronage of medieval women. It had one of the largest libraries of any English nunnery, and a history of women’s education from the Anglo-Saxon period to the Dissolution; it was also the 258home of women writers of Latin and Anglo-Norman works, as well as of many Middle English manuscript books. The essays in this volume map its literary history, offering a wide-ranging examination of its liturgical, historio-hagiographical, devotional, doctrinal, and administrative texts, with a particular focus on the important hagiographies produced there during the twelfth century.

Keywords: Venus; jongleur; Jean, Duke of Berry; Adam and Eve; Book of Hours.
GB22. MARSH, David. Studies on Alberti and Petrarch. Farnham: Ashgate Variorum, 2012, xii + 286 p.

GB25a. RANKOVIC, S., ed. Modes of Authorship in the Middle Ages, Papers in Mediaeval Studies 22. Turnhout: Brepols, 2012. VIII + 428 p.
The volume opens with three articles that discuss changing conceptualisations of key terms (principally “author” and “authorship”) in literary theory. The next seven papers consider the relations between medieval theory and practice in the attitudes towards authorship of specific Latin, German and Italian writers as diverse as Meister Eckhart, William of Malmesbury, John of Salisbury, Lawrence of Durham, the verse of Peter Riga, Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso and late exegesis on the Book of Psalms. These are followed by four papers which apply medieval and modern ideas about distributed authorship to various genres of Old Norse literature, by five which consider the contributions of scribes, redactors, translators and compilers to the making of Old Norse literary manuscripts, and finally by two which approach the idea of authorship in medieval art and in commemorative rune stones.

(PW)

GB35a. DUGGAN, J.J., and Rejhon, A., eds and trans. The Song of Roland: Translations of the Versions in Assonance and Rhyme of the Chanson de Roland. Turnhout: Brepols, 2012.
The medieval corpus of the Roland consists of seven substantial manuscripts, two in assonance and five in rhyme. The only complete text among the rhymed versions is found in two manuscripts housed respectively in Châteauroux and Venice, and thus known as CV7, which has never before been translated into a modern language.

Discusses English translations of the De Re Militari from the first, commissioned by Thomas, Lord Berkeley. (RL)
GB46a. AMSLER, M. Affective Literacies: Writing and Multilingualism in the Late Middle Ages. Turnhout: Brepols, 2012.
This book analyses later medieval writing in Latin, English, and French as it relates to reading formations and textual materialities. It offers a theoretical approach to literacy as fundamentally socially-situated, subject-making, and multilingual. Individual chapters examine literacies as cultural practice in schooling and in elite and popular texts by Chaucer, Christine de Pizan, Dante, Margery Kempe, devotional writers, Erasmus, and the Jewish convert Hermann von Sheda, along with grammatical writing, mythography, charms, drama, and educational texts.
GB47. ARCHER, Robert. “La misoginia como remedium amoris.” BHispS 89.3 (2012): 237–254.
This study proposes that many of the texts written against women in general or individually from the late fourteenth to the late fifteenth centuries depend on a widely held belief of fundamental importance which has chiefly been forgotten in critical work, namely the efficacy of misogynous discourse as a remedy for love. A wide range of texts in Castilian and Catalan are analysed with the aim of demonstrating that this belief, deriving from Ovid, but also based in medical theory, lies at the heart of much of the literature that has been usually labelled “misogynous”, while the cure for love in male readers through words, more than the denunciation of women as such, was the main reason for writing these texts. (RA)
269GB48. BARNES, John C. “‘Con freno e con isproni’: equine imagery in Dante.” GAFFNEY and PICARD, The Medieval Imagination, 89–101 [F-GB12].

Keywords: Brunetto Latini, Li Livres dou tresor.
GB49. BAROLINI, Teodolinda. “Sociology of the Brigata: Gendered Groups in Dante, Forese, Folgore, Boccaccio–From ‘Guido, i’ vorrei’ to Griselda.” Italian Studies 67.1 (2012): 4–22.
This article considers the social and group dynamics in the Italian authors in the title in order to extrapolate a “sociology of the brigata” in the thirteenth- and fourteenth-century literary imagination, which is distinguishable from its real counterpart by the way it can allude to both genders and bring together the genders in social groups producing a highly provocative discursive space. (PW)
GB50. BENNETT, Philip E. “État présent: Chansons de geste and chansons d’aventures: Recent Perspectives on the Evolution of a Genre.” FS 64.4 (2012): 525–532.

GB52. BLANKENHORN, Virginia. “Observations on the Performance of Irish Syllabic Verse.” Studia Celtica 44 (2010): 135–154.
There are few accounts of the character of oral performance of Irish court poets from the twelfth through the sixteenth centuries: VB sets out linguistic, metrical, social, and aesthetic criteria that would have applied. (LMG)
Keywords: Gaelic poetry; music; metre.
GB53. BLISS, Jane. “Who wrote the Nun’s Life of Edward?” RMS 38 Special Issue: Legendary Rulers: Arthur and Charlemagne (2012): 77–98.
Examines the identity of the Nun of Barking, and of her sources other than Aelred of Rievaulx’s life of Edward the Confessor. Her audience is shown to 270have included court as well as cloister; a hitherto unnoticed source is identified; and new analysis provides evidence that the Nun is not identical with Clemence of Barking. (JB)
GB54. BLISS, Jane, and WEISS, Judith. “The ‘J’ manuscript of Wace’s Brut.” MÆ 81.2 (2012): 222–248.
The J MS of Wace’s Brut (Paris, BnF fonds fr. 1416), notable for an interpolated Life of Edward the Confessor and a historical continuation after the end of the text, is worthy of detailed attention. Bliss and Weiss analyze many interesting features of this copy of Brut, and discuss its dating together with the question of its dedication. (JB)
Keywords: ms. Paris, BnF fonds fr. 1416.
GB55. BOCCASSINI, Daniela. “‘L’ora che volge il disio’: Comparative Hermeneutics of Desire in Dante and ‘Attār.” GRAGNOLATI et al., Desire in Dante, 29–44 [F-GB16].
This essay argues that the transmutative process of an inner journey of return to the source in Dante (the awakening in the desiring soul of a revealed knowledge of its own divine origin and the achievement of a cosmic union with the divinity), converges with one of the most accomplished visionary poets of Islam, Faridoddin ‘Attār in his Mantiq al-Tayr, traditionally translated as The Conference of Birds. (PW)
GB56. BOIX JOVANÍ, Alfonso. “Promesas y Juramentos en el Cantar de Mio Cid.” BHispS 89.1 (2012): 1–13.
This article focuses on the analysis of promises and vows in the Cantar de Mio Cid. They have not been paid the attention they deserve, as they appear in the Castilian poem from the very beginning until the end. Even though they could be analysed as a merely verbal phenomenon, this article shows how promises and vows imply concepts such as the model of the perfect knight and reflect the interests of the new nobility, which was confronting the nobility of former times. Promises and vows, then, should be considered in the Cantar as a way of understanding some of the main ideas in the text and trying to disseminate these ideas through its audience. (ABJ)
GB57. BORGHETTI, Vincenzo, and BEMROSE, Stephen. “‘Fors seulement l’actente que je meure’: Ockegham’s Rondeau and the Gendered Rhetoric of Grief.” Early Music History 31 (2012): 37–85.
271Discusses the gendered nature of Fors seulement, one of Johannes Ockeghem’s most extensively studied chansons, through an examination of the two upper voices of this rondeau. (RL)

GB60. BOWDEN, Sarah. “A False Dawn: the Grippia episode in three versions of Herzog Ernst.”Oxford German Studies 41.1 (2012): 15–31.
A comparative approach to different versions of the Herzog Ernst narrative has been largely neglected. This essay brings together three thirteenth-century versions–the vernacular B and the Latin C and E–through a close reading of an episode present in each, Ernst’s first experience of the East in the city of Grippia.

This essay finds the roots of Dante’s treatment of desire in the Commedia in the troubadours and, with reference to Leo Bersani and Alain Badiou, a modern 272understanding of love, interpreted as bringing about a new subjectivity with no cancelling out of the existence of desire itself. (PW)

GB66. CAMILLETTI, Fabio. “Dante Painting an Angel: Image-making, Double-oriented Sonnets and Dissemblance in Vita Nuova XXIV.” GRAGNOLATI et al., Desire in Dante, 71–85 [F-GB16].
This essay is a fascinating exploration of the tension (embodied in the sonnet with two beginnings, “Era venuta”) in the Vita Nuova between the topos of the lady’s death and the perspective of the prose frame, the continuity between earthly and celestial life. By referring to nineteenth-century readings, by Rossetti among others, who used the Vita Nuova to frame crucial issues of post-Enlightenment subjectivity, and Lacan’s analysis of the Freudian notion of sublimation, the author brings out an essential endeavour in Dante’s work, implied in his drawing an angel (a first sketch as it were for a further and never achieved work of art): his attempt represent the divine, the unrepresentable, through difference and dissemblance. (PW)

Studies Rutebeuf’s treatment of Théophile’s charter in the Miracle de Théophile. The letter dictated by Satan represents a translatio between the human world and the divine as it is transformed from being an agreement between parties into a gift to Théophile and the Christian community and then into a an exemplum. Also considers the importance of the use of French in the play. (NR)

The first part of ms Escorial and-III-3 was apparently prepared for the coronation at Santiago of Alfonso XI of Castile, an event which actually took place at Las Huelgas de Burgos. The ms therefore describes a ceremony that did not occur, and illustrations showing key elements were left unfinished.

GB73. CLARKE, K.P. Chaucer and Italian Textuality. Oxford English Monographs. Oxford: Oxford UP, 2011. x + 234 p.
The central premise here is that the marginalia and glosses, whether authorial, scribal or a reader’s, in fourteenth-century MSS Chaucer encountered, on his trips to Genoa and Florence in 1373 and to Milan in 1378, were an integral part of his reception of Italian and classical authors. Particular attention is given to Filippo Ceffi’s translation of Ovid’s Heroides and Francesco d’Amaretto Mannelli’s glosses on the Decameron, and to Boccaccio’s references to Statius in his commentary on his own Teseida. The author also suggests that Chaucer may have imitated the MSS circulating in Italy by himself glossing the Wife of Bath’s and the Clerk’s Tale in the Hengwrt and Ellesmere MSS. (PW)

This book examines sexual and erotic elements in the thirteenth-century Galician-Portuguese cantigas d’amigo, the largest surviving body of female-voiced love lyric, long thought to be virginal and pure outpouings of emotion. In this study, words and expressions, night-time settings, and personae (the forbidden other lover) are explored in an effort to bring the erotic base of these poems more closely into critical focus.

Wernher der Gartenaere’s Helmbrecht, the tale of a young peasant (Helmbrecht) who ignores his father’s dire warnings and becomes a robber-knight, challenges the modern reader by combining Old Testament ferocity with numerous comic effects. This article concentrates on the final narrative sequence in which Helmbrecht, having enjoyed the executioner’s “mercy”, is repeatedly mocked and ridiculed before he meets his wretched end. What, if any, are the literary rules governing such punitive ridicule, this paper asks, given that the guilt of the delinquent is beyond doubt, and to what extent may this text’s concluding scenes be described as comic?

This essay reads the marble reliefs on the first terrace alongside Augustine’s theory of desire as that which binds creation to Creator, and the desiring 276subject to its object of attention. What is first perceived outwardly has then to be processed inwardly, transforming the perceiving subject through a process involving attention, interpretation, and the correct reading of God’s signs.

GB88. FRANKE, William. Dante and the Sense of Transgression: The Trepass of the Sign. London: Continuum, 2012, xvi + 200 p.
At times eloquent and persuasive, at times difficult and seemingly repetitive, this second book on reading the Commedia through the lenses of contemporary 278critical theory (the first, Dante’s Interpretative Journey, was published in 1996 by the University of Chicago Press) argues for affinities between Dante and French theorists. They are compared as writers who focus on and are obsessed by the Transcendent, whatever transcends every possibility of representation and expression. Despite differences in attitude to theology, in mood, in cultural bearings, etc., the author shows convincingly that central aspects of the Paradiso may be illuminated by the work of theorists such as Blanchot, in particular, Bataille, and Levinas, and, in turn, that the last cantica renders palpable some far-reaching motivations of their thought.

Working from the concept of “queer” as it relates to the demands and limitation of “reproductive futurism” (with reference to Lee Edelman), this essay reads Jean de Meun’s continuation of the Roman de la rose as a rhetorical and interpretative “translation” of aspects of Alain’s text in a new form, by examining each text’s concern with representing (and in Alain’s case of extirpating) the unspeakable subject matter associated with the term “sodomy”.

This essay explores how Hadewijch transforms motifs from the courtly love lyric, especially the relationship between the (male) lyric “I” and the (female) beloved, articulating central elements of mystical theology by means of the secular discourse on love: the movement towards transcending, and yet being aware, of the gap between the created world and God; the suppression of the individual will allowing for the possibility of union; the hunger and suffering which express perfect desire and are yet paradoxically closest to achieving the ultimate goal.

The main focus of this essay is “Mengeldicht” 14 and desire in relation to the dynamics of the journey of inner transmutation, the mystics’ desire to identify with Mary and to mother Christ, a spiritual paradigm rivalling that of bridal mysticism. Hadewijch develops the notion of the soul as womb, in allegorical terms, in describing the growth of love within the soul and the soul’s own transformation through loving, relishing the state of process, or being in transition and resisting any articulation of parturition which would represent a separation of the self and the termination of desire.

While there is no doubt that the studiolo in the Palazzo Ducale in Urbino had its patron, Federico da Montefeltro, as its main focus, this article argues convincingly that the uomini illustri panels are also a visual reference to aspects of social practice–including conversation and intellectual play–popular at the Montefeltro court, and that the intarsia do more than “alleviate” the studiolo’s sober character, rather they were a constant reminder to the courtier or guest of being watched and judged even when Federico was absent. Beneath the veneer 296of an ideal humanist court, inspired by classical antiquity, and something amusing, lay a reality that included a strict hierarchy and complex system of surveillance that was also deeply unsettling.
