    Orlando furioso narrado en prosa del poema de Ludovico Ariosto Italo Calvino Traducción del italiano de Aurora Bernárdez y Mario Muchnik Versos de Ariosto traducidos por el capitán general don Juan de la Pezuela, conde de Cheste, de la Real Academia Española Biblioteca Calvino Los versos de Ariosto citados en esta edición castellana provienen de la traducción, publicada en 1883, de Juan de la Pezuela, una elec- ción aprobada por Italo Calvino. En cuanto a esta edición en sí, se trata de la única versión calificada por el autor como «perfecta», por contener capítulos ausentes de la primera edición italiana de Einaudi, por citar exactamente los versos de Ariosto seleccionados por Calvino y por ser, siempre según el parecer del autor, traducción fiel, supervi- sada paso a paso por él mismo, del texto original. (N. del E.) Presentación 1. Rotholandus, Roland, Orlando En todo atlas histórico de la Edad Media hay un pequeño mapa en el que, generalmente coloreadas de violeta, se indi- can las conquistas de Carlomagno, rey de los francos y luego emperador. Una gran nube violeta se extiende sobre Europa, se expande más allá del Elba y el Danubio, pero se detiene a occidente en el confín de una España todavía sarracena. Solo el borde inferior de la nube salva los Pirineos y llega a cubrir Cataluña; es la Marca Hispánica, todo lo que Carlomagno logró arrancar, en los últimos años de su vida, al Emir de Córdoba. Entre las tantas guerras que Carlomagno libró y ganó contra bávaros, frisones, eslavos, ávaros, bretones, longobardos, las que libró contra los árabes, en la historia del emperador de los francos, ocupan relativamente poco lugar; en la literatura, en cambio, se agigantaron hasta alcanzar todo el orbe terráqueo, y llenaron las páginas de bibliotecas enteras.

  • Charlemagne and the Dialogue of Civilizations
    www.amatterofmind.us From the desk of Pierre Beaudry Page 1 of 26 CHARLEMAGNE AND THE DIALOGUE OF CIVILIZATONS by Pierre Beaudry, March 24, 2015 INTRODUCTION “The present option for all deserving humanity, lies essentially, in creating a better future for all mankind, in the option for realizing the seemingly impossible necessity, which makes for the sweetest of the achieved dreams of mankind's achievements: for the sake of realizing that the future of all mankind, is the seemingly impossible.” Lyndon LaRouche, On the Subject of Germany’s Role. What prompted me to write on this strategic question at this time is the statement that General Douglas McArthur made at the end of World War II, when he accepted the surrender of the Japanese military forces on the deck of the battleship Missouri, on September 2, 1945. McArthur had fully realized that “we have had our last chance” and that the next war was going to be a war of extension, because he understood that a thermonuclear war was unsurvivable. He stated: "Military alliances, balances of power, leagues of nations, all in turn failed, leaving the only path to be by way of the crucible of war. The utter destructiveness of war now blots out this alternative. We have had our last chance (My emphasis). If we will not devise some greater and more equitable system, Armageddon will be at our door. The problem is basically theological and involves a spiritual recrudescence and improvement www.amatterofmind.us From the desk of Pierre Beaudry Page 2 of 26 of human character that will synchronize with our almost matchless advances in science, art, literature, and all material and cultural developments of the past 2,000 years.

  • Salutare Animas Nostras: the Ideologies Behind the Foundation of the Templars
    SALUTARE ANIMAS NOSTRAS: THE IDEOLOGIES BEHIND THE FOUNDATION OF THE TEMPLARS A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, HUMANITIES, PHILOSOPHY, AND POLITICAL SCIENCE IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS By Rev. Fr. Thomas Bailey, OSB NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY MARYVILLE, MISSOURI MAY 2012 Salutare Animas Nostras 1 Running Head: SALUTARE ANIMAS NOSTRAS Salutare Animas Nostras: The Ideologies Behind the Foundation of the Templars Rev. Fr. Thomas Bailey, OSB Northwest Missouri State University THESIS APPROVED Thesis Advisor Date Dean of Graduate School Date Salutare Animas Nostras 2 Abstract From beginning to end, the Knights Templar were a mysterious order. Little is known of their origins, and most of their records were destroyed during the suppression in the fourteenth century. In addition, they combined seemingly incompatible objectives: warriors and monks, as well as laity and clergy. This study bridges those divides, providing the historical developments from a secular and religious context. To understand the Templars’ foundation, it needs to be based on a premise that combines the ideologies of the priestly and knightly classes–salvation and the means to attain it. The conclusions were drawn following a multi-disciplinary approach. The primary source materials included the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, patristic authors, medieval literature, canon law, the Templars’ rules, in addition to monastic cartularies and chronicles. The secondary sources were a similar collection from various disciplines. The approach allowed for the examination of the Templars from multiple angles, which helped to highlight their diversified origins. The Knights Templar were the product of a long evolution beginning with the Pauline imagery of the Christian as a soldier battling his/her own spiritual demons and continuing through the call for a crusade to defend the Patrimony of Christ.

Bouchard FAMILY STRUCTURE AND FAMILY CONSCIOUSNESS AMONG THE ARISTOCRACY IN THE NINTH TO ELEVENTH CENTURIES* There can be no question that the period from the ninth to eleventh centuries in westem Europe was one of political upheaval and change for the aristocracy. Charlemagne’s empire was invaded, fought over, divided into new kingdoms and principalities. Fief-holding, vassalage, and castles first became widespread. Even the sorts of men who wielded power changed as new lineages first of counts and then of castellans appeared and married into previously established lines1. This political change, it is generally agreed, was accompanied by some sort of change in the family structure of the aristocracy, but there has been a good deal of debate over exactly what this change entailed. In this paper, I shall reexamine the question of noble family structure in this period, trying first to define some of the parameters of the discussion and then making suggestions on the nature of the changes in family consciousness, suggestions quite different from the conclusions many have drawn in the last twenty-five years. I shall do so using concrete examples drawn from three different lineages or family groups.

Everson Introduction 1 From the late thirteenth century to the end of the Renaissance, Carolingian narratives centred on the deeds of Charlemagne, Roland and the peers of France enjoyed immense popularity in Italy at all levels of society. Some of the greatest writers of this period were attracted to the genre and produced in it their masterpieces. And if, for the early period, the most important compositions are often anonymous, for the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the names of Andrea da Barberino, Pulci, Boiardo, Ariosto and Tasso, to name only the best known and most influential, serve to underline the status of Carolingian narrative literature as the pre-eminent literary genre in the vernacular. As I have pointed out elsewhere, the sheer length of time during which the Carolingian narrative tradition flourished in Italy, the large number of writers involved with the genre, the wealth of material both in content and style, the range of developments and modifications, all pose major problems for the scholar aiming to produce a comprehensive historical and thematic survey of the genre.1 2 The magnitude of the task had already taxed E.

    L'héroïsme chevaleresque dans le Roland Amoureux de Boiardo Couverture : Illustration extraite de la Nouvelle traduction de Roland l'Amou- reux par LESAGE, Paris, 1717 (cliché Bibliothèque Municipale de Lyon) INSTITUT D'ÉTUDES DE LA RENAISSANCE ET DE L'AGE CLASSIQUE Denise ALEXANDRE-GRAS L'héroïsme chevaleresque dans le - Roland Amoureux de Boiardo Publications de l'Université de Saint-Etienne 0 Institut d'études de la Renaissance et de l'Age Classique, 1988 34, rue Francis-Baulier — 42100 Saint-Etienne ISBN 2-86724-032-8 INTRODUCTION Matteo Maria Boiardo est un écrivain dont l'œuvre et la personnalité, complexes et contradictoires, demeurent parmi les plus déroutantes qui soient. Il n'est en effet pas possible de réduire toute son activité à la seule composition du «poème» 1, d'ignorer notamment ses œuvres latines et d'imaginer qu'il ait oublié sa culture humaniste durant les quinze dernières années de sa vie. Or, le contraste est évident entre ses œuvres mineures de goût humaniste (les œuvres latines, les Eglogues en italien , le Timon inspiré de Lucien) et son poème cheva- leresque modelé sur des œuvres populaires que les humanistes méprisaient volontiers. Son Canzoniere, dont le titre classicisant, Amorum libri, est signifi- catif, combine certes diverses sources, mais il apparaît précisément comme une tentative de synthèse raffinée dans laquelle la poésie latine et les thèmes néo- platoniciens viennent enrichir le legs de la poésie lyrique médiévale et du pé- trarquisme, ce qui semble fort éloigné de l'esprit général du poème, si éloigné même que Pier Vincenzo Mengaldo a pu parler d'un tel hiatus entre les deux œuvres, qu'on n'en saurait trouver d'équivalent dans l'histoire italienne toute entière 2.

  • The Illuminated Manuscripts of the "Légende Dorée: Jean De Vignay's Translation of Jacobus De Voragine's "Legenda Aurea"
    The Illuminated Manuscripts of the Légende Dorée: Jean de Vignay's Translation of Jacobus de Voragine's Legenda Aurea Hilary Elizabeth Maddocks Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Fine Arts The University of Melbourne 1989 ABSTRACT This thesis considers closely 28 illuminated manuscripts of Jean de Vignay’s translation of Jacobus de Voragine’s celebrated 13th-century compendium of saints’ lives, the Legenda aurea. Vignay’s translation, the Légende dorée, poses some particular problems for manuscript studies. The extant manuscripts can be seen to be accommodated by at least two major genres of medieval French illumination: the transition of vernacular, courtly literature and the tradition of devotional texts. The tension created by these two conventions can be reconciled if we regard the Légende dorée manuscripts as enjoying popularity with an elite and secular audience which was not interested in the text as much as it was interested in the illuminations, or more probably, in the status of owning an important scholarly illuminated work. In establishing appropriate genres for the manuscripts of the Légende dorée, the production of the books within the organised artistic workshop is explored. This has led to the conclusion that while in some cases compositions were freshly devised from the text of the Légende dorée, most illuminators relied heavily on standard workshop models and patterns. As well as attempting to place the manuscripts of the Légende dorée in the milieu of late medieval France and as well as seeking to explore the popularity – or at least the level of ownership – of this translation of a somewhat irrelevant and difficult philosophical work, the thesis also presents for the first time an annotated catalogue of all known manuscripts of the text.
