This interdisciplinary volume, with Editors’ Introduction and 33 papers, presents a study of the Burgundian court during the fifteenth century, and provides a forum for new research in the fields of History, History of Art, Literature, and Musicology. Though the court’s reputation reached a climax with the pomp and pageantry of the reign of Charles the Bold (1433–1477), the book aims to shed light on Burgundian court culture as an organic whole, between the start of the reign of Philip the Good (1419) and the death of Mary of Burgundy (1482).

(Editors.)

This volume explores how religious, intellectual, political or social authority enforced the circulation of certain texts and text versions, or acted to prevent the distribution of others.

The Arthurian legend is the world’s most successful non-religious story, and Malory’s book is the most successful embodiment of it. The book was transmitted at first by people with no respect for Malory’s wording, but the two earliest texts (a manuscript and an edition by Caxton) are independent of each other, so their mistakes usually come in different places. Previous editions have 329favoured one early text or the other: this edition gives them equal weight, and by careful comparison and the use of a century of scholarly investigation of the problems, has produced an authoritative physically beautiful plain text in Volume I. Volume II explains the editor’s decisions, clarifies difficult passages, and provides an index of names and a full glossary.

The translation, written in iambic pentameter in quatrains with full masculine rhymes, not the interlocking triple rhymes of Dante’s terza rima, succeeds for the most part in transmitting the momentum of the original, its energy and clarity.

GB56. ADAMS, Robert. Langland and the Rokele Family: the gentry background to Piers Plowman. Dublin: Four Courts Press, 2013. 160 p., illus.

The social and political opinions of the author of Piers Plowman derive from, and reflect, a personal background significantly different from that of Chaucer, Gower or the Pearl-poet. Langland and the Pearl-poet resemble each other in seeming, at first glance, more politically and aesthetically old-fashioned than their two great London contemporaries. And yet, no one has ever addressed the massive evidence of a profound social distance that would have separated «William de la Rokele’, at least in his own mind, from the pious author of Patience no less than from the City poets. Much of the evidence for this social chasm is extrinsic to Piers Plowman, but some of it is internal. This new book illuminates that evidence, mainly by supplying some hitherto neglected facts about Langland’s extended family, the Rokeles, and their prominent public role in his own time as well as in the generations that preceded his birth.

Argues, in part on the basis of papal library inventory entires and a complex decorative scheme, that this classicizing and sententious version of a “popular vernacular narrative’, surviving in a single MS and usually dated to the fifteenth century, can be linked, and is witness, to the humanist erudition of Petrarch’s circle in Avignon. It may allude to the papal schism and its alternative title, Columpnarium, may refer to Cardinal Giovanni Colonna. (PW)

Using Michel Foucault’s concept of «capillary power’, studies ways in which textual authority is used by authors and publishers in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Draws parallels with the ways authority is created and used in medieval manuscript books. (NR)

GB61. ARNETT, Scott. “‘Una veritade ascosa sotto bella menzogna’: Dante’s Eclogues and the World Beyond the Text.” Italian Studies 68.1 (2013): 36–56.

Comments on the role of external factors in motivating the writing of the Commedia by arguing that eleven cantos in Paradiso, XV-XXV, are the “ten buckets of milk” mentioned at the end of Dante’s first eclogue. The suggestion is that they were written in response to the criticisms of Giovanni del Virgilio, and are intended to underline Dante’s classical credentials and to mount a defence of vernacular literature both in terms of argumentation and poetic technique.

This article, on the figure who exerted the greatest influence on Renaissance epistolarity, examines thirteen letters included in Petrarch’s two collections, Rerum familiarum libri and Rerum senilium libri. Aspects critical in shaping and determining their tone, their anything but formulaic content, and the rhetorical strategies adopted, are considered: particular attention is given to the relationships, and especially the friendship, between Petrarch and the people he was recommending and his recipients, the latter generally men of power and influence, and to the placement of the letters in their collections.

GB66. BARAŃSKI, Zygmunt G. “Magister Satiricus: Preliminary Notes on Dante, Horace and the Middle Ages.” BARNES and ZACCARELLO, Language and Style, 13–62 [F-GB2].

Dante scholarship and medieval studies in general has played down Horace’s status. This magisterial essay surveys Horace’s reception in the Middle Ages, considers Dante’s direct knowledge of Horace’s works, and argues that it is only by acknowledging the range of his reading that we can begin to appreciate the persistence of Horace’s presence throughout his works. In particular, Horace’s exceptional dual identity as literary critic and poet is highlighted in order to argue that he was the model for Dante’s fundamental ambition, as evident in all his major works, to bring together literature and literary criticism, and that Dante accommodated and tested his novel literary opinions and solutions in terms of the prescriptive Horatian legacy. Dante’s delimiting definition of Horace as “satirist’, it is suggested, was a strategy to critically curtail precisely those writers whose artistic experience were most like his own, writers whom he feared might threaten his ambition to establish himself as the supreme “modern” auctor.

GB67. BAXTER, Catherine Elizabeth. “Turpiloquium in Boccaccio’s Tale of the Goslings (Decameron, Day IV, Introduction).” MLR 108. 3 (2013): 812–838.

Suggests that Boccaccio reworks a tale that traditionally highlights the dangers of the female sex and transforms it into a story concerned with the contemporary treatment of sexual language, and the sin of lewd speech. Seeing a close connection between this tale and the theoretical comments in the Decameron’s Conclusion, this essay argues that Boccaccio here responds pre-emptively to a charge his critics might lay against him and that he contrasts his own skill and decorum with Balducci’s linguistic failure in thinking that he can shield his son from the attractiveness of women by calling them “goslings”.

Considers single colours separately in Dante’s poetry and suggests that Dante’s taste for brilliance and contrast, so typically medieval (what Umberto Eco has called suavitas coloris, a celebration of life and nature amid the adversities of the time), also anticipates, along with his observation of detail and his curiosity in figurative art, the late Gothic style.

Studies the earliest extant manuscript of the anonymous Livre des faits de messire Jacques de Lalaing (BnF MS fr. 16830) which contains eighteen miniatures. The text and the manuscript recuperate the knight’s accidental death as an occasion for the literary immortalisation of an exemplary chivalric career. (NR)

Uncovers medieval texts’ tendency to confuse courtliness and knightly virtue with ostentatious luxury. Focusing on the anonymous thirteenth-century 338Ordene de chevalerie, shows how clothes remake the infidel Saladin, the iconic «other’, into a knight. (NR)

Considers how the citation of female voices in two late medieval French debate poems takes the form–both visually and textually–of cross-dressing. Drawing on Judith Butler’s notion of “citationality”, or the performativity of gender, argues that the unresolved endings of each work direct us to Butler’s insights into both textual and gender instability.

Investigates the play between the desire for intercourse and consumption in the fifteenth-century French debate poem. Just as the fleas ravage human flesh, so the interlocutors of these debates desire a “cannibalistic” union with their lovers but are kept in a permanent state of frustration as that union is never achieved.

GB93. CORBETT, George. Dante and Epicurus: A Dualistic Vision of Secular and Spiritual Fulfilment. London: Legenda, 2013. xii + 189 p.

With reference in the main to Limbo, Inferno X, and the Ante-Purgatory, this book, as the subtitle suggests, focuses on an interpretative question which has a long history, Dante’s position relative to two kinds of well-being and happiness, the happiness of this life open to accomplishment on the basis of the moral and intellectual virtues, and that of the next open to accomplishment on the basis of God’s self-revelation in scripture and of the call to faith, hope, and love. Though the lead argument is perhaps overstated, that Epicureanism formed the foundations of Dante’s dualistic vision, the book usefully reviews the medieval reception of Epicurus and Dante’s reading of the ancient philosopher, and provides new perspectives on the misunderstanding between Cavalcanti’s father and the pilgrim and on Manfred’s prayer to the Virgin Mary.

GB94. COWELL, Andrew. “The Subjectivity of Space: Walls and Castles in La Prise d’Orange.” WEISS and SALIH, Locating, 185–196 [F-GB31].

Demonstrates the relationship between “castles, walls and social persona” (p. 189): the solidarity of walls becomes illusory when the relationship between a place 341and its occupier is disturbed. Shows how the theme of the wall can be used to explore the aristocratic persona, drawing on the Old French La Prise d’Orange, a text which can be seen to include “an ironic comment on the porousness of walls and castles” (p. 191). Rather than containing and defining individuals, spaces and boundaries are inhabited by them and draw meaning from them. (LMG)

This paper discusses the depiction of brigandines (a kind of body armour) requested in poems by Guto’r Glyn and Lewys Glyn Cothi. Both liken the 342brigandine’s plates to animal scales, feathers and roof tiles, and both praise the decorative effect of its rivets, but there are also some differences in the imagery used, and only Guto’s poem mentions a lance-rest. The relationship between the imagery here and that in other late-medieval Welsh poems is discussed. (JD)

Against the view that Botticelli worked on his painting according to the instructions of Poliziano, argues that two letters from Marsilio Ficino to its owner, Lorenzo de’ Medici, when illuminated by Platonic philosophy and the Three Books on Life, reveal its intent and imagery: that it was meant to measure up to Dante’s Commedia in enabling its owner to achieve a “psychic integration with the moral and spiritual order of the cosmos” (p. 33), centred on the figure of Luna.

Much attention has been given to the self-styled authority of Dante and Petrarch. This study redresses the balance in Boccaccio’s favour by examining the MS Chigi L V 176 in the Vatican Library, not for the remarkable texts it contains, transcribed by Boccaccio, but as a materialization of his larger efforts to vindicate the emerging vernacular tradition, with an emphasis on an Italian, as opposed to Romance, tradition. The MS shows how vernacular poets were authorised and legitimised, the theme of love being a major problem in achieving status for the vernacular. Boccaccio’s activities as mediator indicate the important contribution of material philology, in transmitting texts in new forms, to the invention of new communities and traditions. (PW)

Compares Chaucer’s and Lydgate’s treatment of the subject of fame, and finds in Lydgate’s approach a more confident authorial model. Discusses Lydgate’s relationship to the fourteenth-century poetic traditions upon which he drew, and challenges critical positions on poets, princes and society. (LMG)

GB113. FREEDMAN, Paul. “Locating the Exotic.” WEISS and SALIH, Locating, 23–37 [F-GB31].

Reviews the semantic range of the term “exotic” and considers, in particular, European ideas about India. Rigid binary oppositions are challenged, and it is shown that boundaries were more permeable than literature may suggest. As commercial contacts increased, with gems and spices developing economic implications, misinformation of a different kind superseded the old myths. (LMG)

GB114. GADSDEN, Carys. “A New Date for the Chwedleu Seith Doethon Rufein of Oxford, Bodleian Library, Jesus College MS 20?” RMS 39 (2013): 97–101.

Calls for a revision of the textual tradition of the Middle Welsh Chwedleu Seith Doethon Rufein (“The Seven Sages of Rome”) based on a scribal error occurring in MS Oxford, Boldeian Library, Jesus College MS 20. Rather than being the oldest extant witness of Seith Doethon, it is, as Gadsden demonstrates, a fifteenth-century copy of the text appearing in the Red Book of Hergest. (NR)

GB115. GALLIGAN, Francesca. “Dante and Epic: The Artist as Hero.” O’CONNELL and PETRIE, Nature and Art, 95–120 [F-GB22].

Considers how medieval writers, specifically Walter of Châtillon and Alain de Lille, reformulated the heroes of classical literature into heroes for a Christian age, and suggests that Dante goes further by offering his own example of a new Christian hero, the poet hero as central figure in his epic, the Commedia. (PW)

A consideration of Celestina’s mortality and her relationship to power leads the author to propose that the text’s parodic construct is secular rather than sacred, and relates to Isabel I of Castile rather than to the Virgin Mary. (LMG)

GB119. GILSON, Simon. “Divine and Natural Artistry in the Commedia.” O’CONNELL and PETRIE, Nature and Art, 153–186 [F-GB22].

Demonstrates how texts were shaped and reshaped over time in response to the audiences for whom they were intended. Provides a nuanced reading of the scene of the siege of Windsor Castle in the Burgundian Cligès and demonstrates how the prosateur employed rhetorical devices typical of epic to amplify the grittiness of the battle scene to which Chrétien dedicates only twenty-five verses.

Interpreting the non-textual elements (portraits, coats of arms, and marginalia) as well as the texts of the devotional manuscripts commissioned by women of the Valois courts, explores how the manuscripts were used to express the women’s religious, political, and/or genealogical concerns.

Cast as a Socratic dialogue, and aimed at students, this discusses the elegy, usually attributed to Taliesin, for Owain son of Urien Rheged, with particular attention to its literary features. It draws attention to the interplay of Christian and heroic ideology, the treatment of generosity, and offers new interpretations of several phrases and lines. (MH)

GB132. HAZBUN, Geraldine. “Memory as Mester in the Libro de Alexandre and Libro de Apolonio.” BERESFORD et al., Medieval Hispanic Studies, 91–119 [F-GB3].

Revisits a perceived division of early narrative poetry into two schools by exploring the significance of memory to two thirteenth-century works based on material from Greco-Roman antiquity. In developing the art of memory 349the thirteenth-century cleric, mindful of its significance in Christian practice, was combining aspects of clerecía and juglaría in what was both duty and ministry. (LMG)

GB133. HIATT, Alfred. “Historical and Political Verse.” BOFFEY and EDWARDS, A Companion, 157–169 [F-GB4].

AH explains the difficulty in applying generic distinctions, and concentrates on the moments at which historical and political verse intersected. The turmoil of the fifteenth century contributed to a rise in occasional poems, often pointed and critical; it was also a period which saw considerable increase in commemorative poetry. The reasons for historical and political texts to be composed in verse are explored, with suggestions about the form’s particular contemporary appeal at the end of the Middle Ages. (LMG)

GB134. HONESS, Claire E. “‘Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile’: Henry VII and Dante’s Ideal of Peace.” The Italianist 33. 3 (2013): 484–504.

Traces Dante’s thinking on earthly peace from the time of the Convivio to the final cantos of the Paradiso, looking in detail at Dante’s epistles of 1310–1311, Epistle V to the “princes and people of Italy’, Epistle VI to the Florentines and Epistle VII to the Emperor Henry VII himself. The argument is that the many Biblical references in the first and third of these in particular shows the seriousness with which Dante believes Henry’s authority to be willed by God, and that he craves for more than just the institution of some sort of truce on Italy’s warring factions by a stronger power. The failure of Henry’s mission marks a clear and definitive turning-point in the poet’s thinking about peace on earth, in the knowledge that true peace, associated with the plenitudo temporis, could not be realised. (PW)

GB135. HONESS, Claire, E. “The Language(s) of Civic Invective in Dante: Rhetoric, Satire, and Politics.” Italian Studies 68.2 (2013): 157–174.

Argues that the many linguistic features connecting the mordant invective of Dante’s political letters with that of the Commedia link these works to the medieval genre of satire, defined as attributing blame with the aim of effecting moral improvement, and suggests that the satirical mode is the fundamental guiding principle for Dante’s plurilingual style in his masterpiece.

GB136. HOOK, David. “Advancing on ‘Álora’.” BERESFORD et al., Medieval Hispanic Studies, 121–138 [F-GB3].

Offers mateial from late medieval Spanish chronicles to assist in understanding how the ballad of “Álora la bien cercada” may have resonated with 350audiences, in particular between 1482 and the end of the century.

GB137. HOROBIN, Simon. “Forms of Circulation.” BOFFEY and EDWARDS, A Companion, 21–31 [F-GB4].

The layout and programme of illustration in the Ellesmere manuscript of the Canterbury Tales influenced the early circulation of work by Hoccleve and Lydgate; its model was extended in a new style of vernacular verse manuscript which emerged during the fifteenth century. SH considers the practice of anthologising, and the evidence for book production, patronage, and ownership. (LMG)

GB138. HOUGHTON, Josephine. “Deguileville and Hoccleve Again.” MÆ 82.2 (2013): 260–268.

A careful textual analysis demonstrates that for his translation of Deguileville’s “Virgin’s Complaint” incorporated in the Middle English prose Pilgrimage of the Soul Thomas Hoccleve did not use the version of the passage from Le Pèlerinage de l’âme but a revised version found in Le Pèlerinage Jhesucrist. This is why it is “highly unlikely” (p. 266) that Hoccleve was the translator of the Pilgrimage of the Soul itself. (NR)

GB140. HOYNE. Mícheál. “The Political Context of ‘Cath Muighe Tuireadh’, the Early Modern Irish Version of the Second Battle of Magh Tuireadh.” Ériu 63 (2013): 91–116.

Two versions of the Second Battle of Magh Tuireadh are extant: an Old Irish version in British Library Harleian MS 5280 and an Early Modern Irish version in RIA MS 24 P 9. Through an analysis of the latter text and its manuscript context, and drawing on the evidence of Bardic poetry and other historical sources, this paper attempts to identify the political context in which the Early Modern Irish version was composed. It is argued that it was produced c. 1398 351for a branch of the Mac Diarmada family and that it reflects the contemporary political struggles in which they were involved. (MH)

Drawing on Heidegger (the ideas of the Augenblick and that of the poet), examines the play of temporality on Machaut’s Voir Dit. The narrative disruption and formal interplay that are characteristic of the book can be read as strategies of preservation and offer glimpses of a virtual book that would safeguard the author’s work against the ravages of time.

Focusing on Tristan’s monologue before marrying Yseut aux Blanches Mains (Sneyd fragment), studies the abstract vocabulary employed by Thomas. The challenge taken up by the author was to communicate the story of desire and passion through a discourse of reason and thus to reconcile the rational vision of the clerk and the feelings of a lover.

This article aims to articulate the mouvance of the work through history as well as across textual instantiations through a detailed reading that attends to both manuscript and print variants in order to trouble the assumption that these lines can be used as an origin text in any straightforward sense. The article concludes by suggesting an alternative way of understanding their use as foundational to vernacular Scots poetry. (CJ)

This paper investigates the way in which the court poets of twelfth- and thirteenth-century Wales viewed the poetry traditionally regarded as belonging to earlier centuries and how they used them in their own compositions, by firstly examining the references they make to their predecessors, and secondly the quotations or echoes from earlier poetry found in their work.

Medieval poetry served both to glorify war as chivalric heroism, or in some cases, including that of Chaucer, to question its conduct and lament the 353destruction it caused. It could also replace prose as the medium for chronicle, as is the case with two extensive panegyrical pro-English accounts of the Battle of Nájera, one written in French by the Chandos Herald, the other in Latin by Walter of Peterborough. The article discusses how the two poets portray events and celebrate their respective protagonists, the Black Prince and his younger brother John of Gaunt. (LMG)

GB153. KING, Andrew. “Romance.” BOFFEY and EDWARDS, A Companion, 187–198 [F-GB4].

AK finds “generation, movement and the crossing of new boundaries” (p. 187) in fifteenth-century romance, coupled with continuity both with the past and across an imposed medieval/early modern division. Fourteenth-century romance and its narrative patterns still formed part of a living literary culture, with relevant contemporary resonances, as witnessed by the Auchinleck Manuscript and the work of Robert Thornton. Henry Lovelich’s translations provided chivalric literature for a London mercantile audience, while the Anglo-Norman romances were also transformed for a new century. In the wake of Chaucer, new works were composed by named authors, such as John Lydgate and John Metham, with their own aspirations and fictionalised personae; Chaucer’s legacy maintained the poetic tradition despite the rise of prose.

GB155. KIRKPATRICK, Robin. “Actions of Truth: The Theological Poetics of Paradiso VII.” BARNES and ZACCARELLO, Language and Style, 161–196 [F-GB2].

Argues that the answer the pilgrim receives on justice in this canto cannot be understood in terms of rational argumentation alone, but only comprehended by one fully mature in the understanding of love. With reference to Hans Georg Gadamer and Nicholas Lash, the suggestion is that the precondition of clarity is here revealed to be an attitude of faith, in recognition of the hidden origins of being and thought. Humility and obedience are for Dante crucial and even creative principles in the intellectual as well as the spiritual life, and also principles of his artistic procedures, and in this canto he brings to a conclusion a long engagement with the question of rationality which began in Vita Nuova with his first engagement with the person of Beatrice.

Offers a penetrating re-evaluation of Petrarch’s diplomatic activities and a new insight into his absorption of classical and patristic sources in relation to political affairs, his concern to broker a peace between the two maritime republics being the outcome of an attachment to a conception of pax derived from patristic sources rather than from the classical tradition. Petrarch’s diplomatic missions are seen not as uncharacteristic favours granted by a reluctant and uninterested humanist, but rather as marks of his deep concern for civil life where it coincided with the interests of his patrons.

Considers how memory functioned in the creation and reception of two of Machaut’s works and the roles of the author-narrator, scribe and reader. 358Examines the use of the scribe’s memory in the visual presentation of the music in three separate manuscripts. (NR)

GB174. McGRADY, Deborah. “‘Guerre ne sert que de tourment’: Remembering War in the Poetic Correspondence of Charles d’Orléans.” GUYNN and STAHULJAK, Violence, 151–168 [F-GB13].

Argues that late medieval poets, Charles d’Orléans in particular, explored poetry’s power to reshape history through the commemoration of violent conflict and through an acknowledgement of poetry’s power to change the course of events. The poet’s secret lyric correspondence with the Duke of Burgundy reveals covert attempts (during his captivity) to influence peace negotiations and eventually (after his liberation) overt attempts to specify the social and historical context of his earlier writings.

Given the importance attached in Bardic poetry to the nobility and genealogy of the persons addressed, it is perhaps not surprising that surnames and words denoting “descendant’, whether remote or recent, figure largely in the genre. This paper will explore some unique or unusual features of the meaning and morphology of the words mac “son” and ó grandson, and will move on to an examination of adjectival qualification of these words and the personal names with which they combine to form surnames, sept-names and loose designations of remote ancestry.

CM explores the relationahip of patronage to the work of poets including John Lydgate, Osbern Bokenham, John Walton, John Capgrave, Thomas Hoccleve, Gilbert Banester, Henry Lovelich, and John Metham. Patronage was not unconditional, and was informed by class and gender, status and wealth, and political factors. Motives, selection of texts for translation, metre, audiences, and “hierarchy of address” (p. 11) are considered. (LMG)

There was a devaluation of skaldic poetry at the royal Norwegian court by the early thirteenth century, as new literary models arrived and generational tastes changed.

GB179. MILLSPAUGH, Scott. “Trobar clus in the Early Italian Lyric: Textual Enclosure, Social Space, and the Poetry of Guittone d’Arezzo.” Italian Studies 68.1 (2013): 1–16.

Argues that Guittone d’Arezzo, following the example established by Marcabru a century earlier, “cleaves signifier from signified in order to reveal the emptiness of Amor as a discursive category and to condemn the moral bankruptcy that results from the sham of courtly love” (p. 16). (PW)

Discusses the powerful resonance of the figure of Satan as an inflexible, unforgiving notary in the Pèlerinage de l’Ame. The writing of the Pèlerinage de l’Ame functions as an eschatological vindication of authorial control and orthodoxy, tempered by Deguileville’s admission of the inherent human fallibility of his own experience of “pilgrimage”.

GB182. MORGAN, Enid. “Revenge and Reconciliation: A Girardian Reading of the Four Branches of the Mabinogi.” Studia Celtica 47 (2013): 149–166.

Hunting, idealised in medieval art, could in both history and literature result in conflict. The opening to the First Branch of the Mabinogi exemplifies a cardinal feature of the mimetic theory of René Girard, which EM introduces. She then draws attention to “stories and themes that are highlighted in the Four Branches and so offer a useful tool for understanding the perceptions 360and purpose of their redactor/author” (p. 152). What is revealed is “a deeply Christian handling of pagan material and of a human society struggling to cope with the problems of conquest” (p. 166). (LMG)

The Legend of Good Women conceptualizes invention as an affective force, linking the processes of emergence that precede the mind’s conscious recognition of emotion with the inventional processes which culminate in poetic art. The Prologue introduces a theoretical method for reconceptualizing invention, and the legends dramatize the process by which affect and invention collapse into emotion and poetry. In so doing, the poem attempts to gesture behind both the discourses that shape late medieval ideas of gender and the affect that infuses those discourses with their personal and cultural power.

Shows how a Horatian topos of rural plenty was fashioned into a form of self-writing by three twelfth-century poets. The semantic charges of “sufficentia” are explored and its paradoxes brought out. In the poems studied, God is affirmed rather than Fortuna, and poets are aware of the existence of envy in public and at court; honor, with its implied worldly status, can impose its own burdens.

The article demonstrates that adaptations of Deguileville’s Pèlerinages throughout Europe employ a wide range of strategies to grapple with issues of authorial responsibility and textual authority. In many cases, a hybrid model prevails, layering, mingling or blurring the identities of Deguileville and later adapters, translators, scribes or readers: the authority of the Pèlerinage tradition is confirmed even as the identity of the author begins to fade away.

The puzzling coblas in the tenso with Bernard Arnaut are explained through an intertextual reading of poems by Bernart de Ventadorn and Arnaut de 364Maroill. The reading of the coblas as a subtle and playful vitiperum releases the humour and gentle derision of the trobairitz’s response to her interlocutor and illuminates the description of Na Lombarda as “insegnada” in her vida.

Argues that Deguileville’s allegory is highly sensitive to the fragile and contestable status of the written world, as is reflected in the poet’s ubiquitous use of reified writing within his narratives: circulating scrolls, charters and other materials depicted within Deguileville’s allegorical diegesis enable the production and transaction of meaning.

This monograph focuses on the anonymous pious Middle English romances alongside Malory’s Morte Darthur and Henry Lovelich’s translation of the Old French Vulgate History of the Holy Grail from the perspective of vocabularies of suffering and genealogical concerns. Sir Isumbras, Sir Gowther and Roberd of Cisely are analysed through the prism of fifteenth-century piety, politics and penitence (long after their initial composition), while Lovelich’s work is examined against the metropolitan culture it originated from. Overall, romance reception is investigated through analysis of the manuscript transmission and circulation of these texts alongside contemporary devotional and political texts and chronicles. (RR)

Different dates have been proposed for anonymous Middle Welsh texts, but have not gained the status of orthodoxy. This book considers the contribution of linguistic evidence to the debate.

Studies the celebrated copy of the early fourteenth-century Roman de Fauvel (Paris, BnF fr. 146), “inflated” by its musical interpolations. Focuses on a single motet to show how this bilingual Latin-French work is involved in non-linear forms of hybridity. The French text of the motet is an “infiltration” in the Latin text in the same way the motet itself is an incursion into the larger roman. (NR)

A revision and reshaping, with updated bibliography, of the late Christopher Ryan’s unpublished work on Dante and Aquinas which honours its central contention: “Dante gives greater weight than Aquinas to the power inherent in nature, even in sinful man, and he attributes an overriding importance to external revelation, in contrast to Aquinas, who radically subordinates such revelation to the internal operation of grace” (p. iv).

The Misa de amor is a more significant aspect of religious parody in the Spanish sentimental romance than may at first appear: the article explores its expression in the parodic treatment of the worship of the Lady in Church, and of the Mass itself. In the romances it reaches its culmination in Celestina, while there also appears to have been a flourishing poetic genre. Contemporary reception is considered, and it is suggested that though of initial fully humorous intent, with the idea of the elevation of love to a religion itself being mocked and criticised, adaptations for court reception may have acquired a certain ambivalence; at the same time both parody and cautionary tale.

The courtly “other” is explored as the translation of troubadour poetics to the Italian communi in the period following the advent of Charles d’Anjou in Italy (1265).

Comparing depictions of the execution of Hugh Despenser (Edward II’s lover) and that of Roger Mortimer (Queen Isabella’s lover), argues that historians of the Hundred Years War do not single out same-sex practices for punishment and moral condemnation; instead, they indict any form of sexual compulsion and excess that contributes to political instability.

The period c. 1260–1320 marks the flowering of what is known as the “courtly style” in French painting. While royal, courtly, academic and ecclesiastical patrons were critical to the cultural and artistic production of the capital, books made in provincial centres manifest an independence and originality that can be attributed to fruitful interaction with neighbouring cultures. Women and children from the burgeoning bourgeois class emerged in this period as important patrons of fine manuscripts. This book surveys the major manuscripts–liturgical, devotional hagiographical, legal, historical, medical, scientific, literary, luxuriously painted in colours and gold and highy valued. (AS)

GB232. STRATFORD, Jenny. Richard II and the English Royal Treasure. Woodbridge: Boydell Press, 2013. 528 p. 20 colour, 40 b/w illus.

371

Richard II’s gold and silver treasure from England and France is illustrated, and the objects, their provenance, and their diplomatic and financial role explored. A newly discovered roll in the National Archives at Kew names English courtiers and Valois princes among the donors; publication of the inventory leads to new perspectives on Richard II’s court and its splendour. (LMG)

GB233. SULLIVAN, Karen. “The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful: Violence in the Canso de la Crozada.” GUYNN and STAHULJAK, Violence, 99–114 [F-GB13].

Demonstrates how, in the Canso, each side of the conflict seeks to invalidate the enemy’s violence and glorify their own. Violence is intelligible only insofar as it sustains or weakens an ideologically privileged ethos. (NR)

GB234. SUNDERLAND, Luke. “Multilingualism and Empire in L’Entrée d’Espagne.” WEISS and SALIH, Locating, 55–65 [F-GB31].

Introduces the neglected Franco-Italian literary tradition, in particular L’Entrée d’Espagne, a fourteenth-century epic with a multilingual, Christian, and courtly Roland in exile in the East. In the light of medieval political theory and that of Derrida, LS explores the contrast between Roland’s cultural imperialism and the military imperialism of Charles in Spain, to show how the code-defying text, with its nuanced ethnic and religious relationships, can best be understood. (LMG)

GB235. SWIFT, Helen. “Competing Codes of Authority in mid-Fifteenth-Century Burgundy: Martin Le Franc and the Book that Answers Back.” BROMILOW, Authority, 43–65 [F-GB8].

Focuses on the mid-fifteenth-century La complainte du livre du “Champion des dames” a maistre Martin le Franc son acteur, a dream-vision in which Martin le Franc’s book Le Champion des dames complains to its “acteur” of its unfavourable reception by the duke of Burgundy (c. 1442). Argues that juxtaposing the Champion with this sequel in a second presentation manuscript offered to Philip the Good was a way to promote the work but also to attract attention to the poem’s underlying political agenda (a need for reconciliation with France and peace in Europe). These arguments are supported by a comparison with the Complainte’s literary model, Ovid’s Tristia. (NR)

GB236. TALBERT, Richard. “Peutinger’s Map Before Peutinger: Circulation and Impact, AD 300–1500.” WEISS and SALIH, Locating, 3–21. Illus. [F-GB31].

372

Suggests that, rather than being a travellers’ guide, the map served to affirm Rome’s centrality and claim to world rule, providing a model for mapping of empires of man or of God. It, or a version of it, appears to have been known to the maker of the Gough Map, to which it is “uncannily close in design and presentation” (p. 10). (LMG)

GB237. TAMBLING, Jeremy. “Illusion and Identity: The Looking-glass World of Inferno XXX.” BARNES and ZACCARELLO, Language and Style, 111–132 [FGB2].

Offers a close reading of the multifarious style of this canto focusing on illusions and identity-loss, understanding identity as depending on separation from what would contaminate it, and style as relating to the ability to form identity. (PW)

GB238. TASIOULAS, Jacqueline, “‘Dying of imagination’ in the First Fragment of the Canterbury Tales.” MÆ 82:2 (2013): 213–235.

Explores “the role of the imagination in the first three Canterbury Tales: its position and function in the cerebral process, and its contribution to the amorous desire that afflicts almost every creature in those tales” (p. 214). The differing forms of lovesickness suffered by Chaucer’s characters are considered in the light of philosophical and medical writing influential in his time. (LMG)

GB239. TAYLOR, Craig. Chivalry and the Ideals of Knighthood in France during the Hundred Years War. Cambridge: Cambridge CUP, 2013. 358 p.

Examines the wide-ranging French debates on the martial ideals of chivalry and knighthood in the period of the Hundred Years War. Writings on the topic by Jean Froissart, Geoffroi de Charny, Philippe de Mézières. Honorat Bovet, Christine de Pizan, Alain Chartier and Antoine de la Sale are considered in the wider historical and cultural context. (NR)

GB240. TIMMERMANN, Anke. “Scientific and Encyclopaedic Verse.” BOFFEY and EDWARDS, A Companion, 199–211 [F-GB4].

“Scientific poetry in late medieval and early modern England was closely associated with royal sponsorship” (p. 200). Discusses the demand in fifteenth-century England for scientific texts, particularly in verse form; the patrons (notably Humfrey, Duke of Gloucester); the poets (John Lydgate, Thomas Norton, George Ripley, Sir Gilbert Hay, and others), and the subject-matter (primarily alchemy, but also medicine, astrology and cosmology). Indicates how widely the encyclopaedic verse may range. Proposes a direction of future study. (LMG)

GB241. TOOK, John. Conversations with Kenelm: Essays on the Theology of the “Commedia”. London: University College London Arts and Humanities Publications and Ubiquity Press, 2013. vi + 201 p.

This exquisite rendering of its author’s position, which draws on the work of Paul Tillich, contributes to a growing discourse about different modes of reader-engagement with the poem as a theological text. Careful statement throughout distinguishes Kenelm Foster’s view of Dante’s “over-readiness to conceive of moral virtue in isolation from Charity” (quoted here p. 192), from the author’s own, that grace brings a “re-potentiation of man’s humanity in respect of the transhumanity to which it is called from beforehand” (p. 193). The text is freely downloadable from the Ubiquity Press website. (PW)

GB242. TOOK, John. “Style and Existence in Dante: An Essay in Cognitive Poetics.” BARNES and ZACCARELLO, Language and Style, 197–222 [F-GB2].

The guiding principles here are that the ontological component of the text in Dante, a “preoccupation with the existence of the I-self or of the We-self” (p. 198), is its ultimate object of concern, and that the “nature of love is a matter, less of acquisition, than of disposition, of the opening out of the spirit on a good greater than self and of this as the way of intimate renewal on the planes of knowing and loving” (p. 198). The theological project, the commitment to this ontological way, has its most consummate expression in the Commedia. The argument is developed here in a specifically literary direction where image and style are a means of fundamental elucidation and affirmation in circumstances of ontological concern and understanding. (PW)

GB243. TORRES, Sara V. “Remembered Pèlerinage: Deguileville’s Pilgrim in Philippe de Mézières’s Songe du Vieil Pelerin”. NIEVERGELT and KAMATH, The Pèlerinage Allegories, 153–170 [F-GB20].

Demonstrates the strong interest de Mézières and Deguileville share in the role of the written, embodied word within the broader conceptual metaphor of the human pilgrimage. De Mézières uses the Pèlerinage de Vie Himaine as an objectified piece of writing, both a model and a catalyst for his own poem. (NR)

GB244. TREHERNE, Matthew. “Art and Nature Put to Scorn: On the Sacramental in Purgatorio.” O’CONNELL and PETRIE, Nature and Art, 187–210 [F-GB22].

Argues that the physical and performative aspects of medieval Christianity are a dynamic and integral part of the Commedia’s theology. Focusing on the 374bas-reliefs of Purgatorio X, parallels are drawn between the language Dante uses to describe them, together with his bewilderment at what his senses seem to be saying, and the language used in the liturgy and theology to speak of the Eucharist. Without naming it directly, Dante makes quite precise and consistent allusion to the Eucharist throughout Purgatorio, and that reference is linked with a developing understanding of the universe’s condition of createdness. (PW)

GB245. TURNER, Denys. “Reason, Poetry and Theology: ‘Venacularity’ in Dante and Aquinas.” O’CONNELL and PETRIE, Nature and Art, 211–234 [F-GB22].

Explores “vernacularity” as a theological category by speaking of the intimate connection in Dante’s mind between language, body and community and of the vernacular for Dante as the most embodied and expressive, and so most fully human, form of language. There is also an important explanation and qualification of what Aquinas means by poetry being “infima inter omnes doctrinas” (“the lowest of all forms of teaching”). (PW)

GB246. VAN DIJK, Conrad. John Gower and the Limits of the Law. Publications of the John Gower Society 8. Cambridge: D.S. Brewer, 2013. viii + 221 p.

A stuy of Gower’s engagement with contemporary legal debate reads his work in relation to Ricardian politics and compares the poetic concerns of Chaucer and Langland. (LMG)

GB247. VANWIJNSBERGHE, D. “Ung bon ouvrier nommé Marquet Caussin”. Peinture et enluminure en Hainaut avant Simon Marmion. Contributioins to the Study of the Flemish Primitives 12. London/Turnhout: Harvey Miller / Centre International de Recherches “Primitifs Flamands”, 2013. ix + 502 p. 46 bandw illus., 400 col. illus.

Until now, little was known about manuscript illumination in Hainault before the arrival of Simon Marmion at Valenciennes around 1458. This monograph intends to bridge that gap by highlighting the work of Marc Caussin, a Hainault miniaturist active in Valenciennes from the 1430s to the 1470s, who worked for Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, and other notable bibliophiles. Caussin’s family background, professional network and milieu are explored. (LMG)

“This paper joins the debate surrounding the sociolinguistic contact in which Latin and Romance coexisted in Spain during the High Middle Ages (eighth-thirteenth century)” (p. 627).

Considers more than fifty medieval manuscripts of Deguileville’s Pèlerinage de vie humaine containing marginal notes in French and, occasionally, in Latin. Concludes that readers’ interest in the Pèlerinage was sustained yet extractive (proverbs and exempla are mostly noted) and the poet’s didactic message is retained at the expense of his chosen form (frequent marginal elucidation of allegorical puzzles). (NR)

GB250. VITZ, Evelyn Birge. “Le Roman de la Rose, Performed in Court.” O’SULLIVAN and SHEPARD, Shaping Courtliness, 151–161 [F-GB23].

Focusing on Guillaume de Lorris’s Le Roman de la Rose’s potential for visual, auditory and even olfactory performance and appealing to the evidence of manuscript iconography, ventures a hypothesis that this text may have been performed at court. (NR)

GB251. WAKELIN, Daniel. “Classical and Humanist Traditions.” BOFFEY and EDWARDS, A Companion, 171–185 [F-GB4].

A fifteenth-century couplet from Ovid is included in “a small but intriguing set of fifteenth-century translations from Latin” (p. 171). DW considers why prose works were turned into poetry, the evidence for translators’ attitudes to their sources and to antiquity, and the ideas and interests of the poets and their readers. (LMG)

GB254. WEBB, Heather. “Power Differentials, Unreliable Models, and Homoerotic Desire in the Comedy.” Italian Studies 61.1 (2013): 17–35.

Focusing on Inferno XV-XVI, and Purgatorio XXVI, this is a fascinating exploration of Dante’s representation of elements of activity and passivity in sexual acts, of sodomy in particular, mirrored in the prosecution of homosexual behaviour in Florentine documents, where younger passive partners of older men were not held responsible in the way the active, adult partners were. The subtleties of Dante’s treatment are explored, a treatment more sophisticated than our contemporary discussions of sexuality often are, and, it is claimed, lead to an understanding of the necessary state of spiritual submission, allowing oneself to be conquered, that the pilgrim must attain through his journey, a kind of humility that serves as a synecdoche for love of God, a case of the flesh imitating what is a proper spiritual state. (PW)

GB255. WEISS, Julian. “Remembering Spain in the Medieval European Epic: A Prospect.” WEISS and SALIH, Locating, 67–82 [F-GB31].

Explores the idea of Spain and the latent meanings of the term Hispania in Carolingian epics composed elsewhere. The Oxford Chanson de Roland, the Charroi de Nîmes, and the Franco-Italian La Spagna provide examples of Spain as political lieu de mémoire, with challenging implications for the meaning of “Europe”. (LMG)

The second in a series of checklists devoted to documenting the scope of vernacular commentaries and glosses on Castilian literary and religious texts during the later Middle Ages. The current list covers manuscripts and printed editions of the classics in Castilian translation. In his introductory comments 377JW gives examples of the potential opened up by the study of commentaries and glosses. (LMG)

Examines how Marie de France uses images of fecundity and sterility (or love productive and unproductive) across the lais and in Guigemar in particular to shape both the narrative and the vision of courtliness. (NR)

GB258. WILSON, Robert. “‘Quando amor mi spira’: Inspiration and Art in Purgatorio.” O’CONNELL and PETRIE, Nature and Art, 51–76 [F-GB22].

Plato’s distinction between inspiration and art and the discussions of inspiration found mostly among theologians and commentators of Scripture provide a useful starting-point for another look at Purgatorio XXIV where Dante makes a short but much discussed statement about poetic inspiration. (PW)

GB259. WOOD, Sarah. Conscience and the Composition of Piers Plowman. Oxford English Monographs. Oxford: Oxford UP, 2012. xii + 188 p.

Provides a detailed account of how Conscience changes and develops as episodes and versions of the poem are composed, thus offering a new approach to reading the serial versions of the poem and a way of comprehending Langland’s revisions. (LMG)

Focuses on the ways in which the two frontier ballads “employ games–those of chess and of jousting respectively–not only as a means of denoting emotional and military conquest, but as an enduringly evocative means of recalling the unique cultural identity shared by Castilians and Granadans on the medieval frontier that simultaneously foreshadows and resists its demise” (p. 273).

Argues against a reading of the episode, ll. 115–117 in particular, as a palinode, or as helping to prove the authenticity of the tenzone, and considers the authenticity of the exchange of sonnets between Dante and Forse Donati is far from incontrovertible. (PW)
