  • “This Translation—The First Into English—Of the Life of Jesus Christ By
    “This translation—the first into English—of The Life of Jesus Christ by Ludolph of Saxony will be welcomed both by scholars in various fields and by practicing Christians. It is at the same time an encyclopedia of biblical, patristic, and medieval learning and a compendium of late medieval spirituality, stressing the importance of meditation in the life of individual believers. It draws on an astonishing number of sources and sheds light on many aspects of the doctrinal and institutional history of the Church down to the fourteenth century.” — Giles Constable Professor Emeritus Princeton University “Milton T. Walsh has taken on a Herculean task of translating The Life of Christ by the fourteenth-century Carthusian, Ludolph of Saxony. He has more than risen to the challenge! Ludolph’s text was one of the most widely spread and influential treatments of the theme in the later Middle Ages and has, until now, been available only in an insufficient late nineteenth-century edition (Rigollot). The manuscript tradition of The Life of Christ (Vita Christi) is extremely complex, and Walsh, while basing his translation on the edition, has gone beyond in providing critical apparatus that will be of significant use to scholars, as well as making the text available for students and all interested in the theology, spirituality, and religious life of the later Middle Ages. His introduction expertly places Ludolph’s work in the textual tradition and is itself a contribution to scholarship. Simply put, this is an amazing achievement!” — Eric Leland Saak Professor of History Indiana University “Walsh has done pioneering work unearthing the huge range of patristic, scholastic, and contemporary sources that Ludolph drew upon, enabling us to re-evaluate the Vita as an encyclopedic compilation, skillfully collating a range of interpretations of the gospel scenes to meditational ends.

  • «Credere Virginem in Corde Per Fidem». Images of Mary in the Libri Carolini
    «CREDERE VIRGINEM IN CORDE PER FIDEM». IMAGES OF MARY IN THE LIBRI CAROLINI Diego Ianiro References to the Virgin Mary are quite rare in the writings produced at the court of Charlemagne before 794.1 With the doubtful exception of marian sermons gathered in the homiliary of Paul the Deacon, among the works released between the Admonitio generalis (789) and the Council of Frankfurt (794) it is possible to find several mentions of the Mother of God only in the Libri Carolini.2 Paul’s homiliary was in fact commissioned by Charlemagne, as it is clearly stated in its prefatory letter known as Karoli epistola generalis,3 in a period that cannot be determined with precision: in recent scolarship it ranges approximately from 786, the year before Paul’s return to Monte Cassino, to 796/799,4 the alleged date of his death. Moreover, as the homiliary still awaits a 23RD INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF BYZANTINE STUDIES, BELGRADE 23 AUGUST 2016.

In order to account for the installation of the Franks on the Italian peninsula, our manuals have clung to a received vulgate. They assert that Pippin the Short and then Charlemagne allied themselves with the papacy, at the pope’s request, in order to stave off the Lombard threat against the Exarchate of Ravenna and defend the interests of the Holy See. But at the end of the tenth century, south of Rome, the story included other elements.

  • KEYNES FOLLOWS EDGEWORTH AMONG the DACTYLS Geoffrey Fishburn
    KEYNES FOLLOWS EDGEWORTH AMONG THE DACTYLS Geoffrey Fishburn History of Economic Thought Society of Australia 27th Conference, Auckland, N.Z. July 2014 School of Social Sciences University of New South Wales Sydney 2052 Australia. [email protected] 1 The dactyl, a three-syllabic measure (‘foot’) of the form long-short-short, was a staple of Classical (Greek and Roman) poetry, and gives its name to the dactylic hexameter, a line of six feet where the dactyl appears a variable number of times (with its place otherwise most usually being taken by the long-long spondee). Until the end of the Edwardian era, in Britain at least, such a verse form was familiar to economists from their schooldays. Alfred Marshall, for example, wrote of “… a Greek poet, whose hexameters may be rendered thus:…” (Marshall 1919, 790 n1), the last of four attempts by him at this particular verse over a period of some 16 years (Fishburn 2012). But one with far greater skill as a classicist was his contemporary Francis Ysidro Edgeworth, most often known to economists for his seminal contributions in economics and statistics as well as his role as editor of The Economic Journal, but less often appreciated, and certainly largely glossed over in the familiar biographical/obituary notes (Creedy 2008; Keynes 1926; Newman 2004; Price 1926), that this was not the career path for which his undergraduate studies had prepared him, nor on which he had first ventured. Edgeworth’s application in 1875 for a Professorship in Greek at Bedford College, London, was no less than would have been expected of one with a record of achievement such as his in Classics at Trinity College, Dublin, and Oxford.

Reynolds, Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies During the past quarter century very few full or virtually full manuscripts written in the Beneventan script of southern Italy and Dalmatia have been discovered and reported. Most of the manuscripts reported since Lowe’s magisterial work2 on the script have been libelli, stray folios, fragments, and offsets.3 But two extraordinary full or virtually full manuscripts have recently come to light and have been reported. The first of these was put on auction a few years back by Sotheby’s in London.4 In their sale catalogue, the manuscript, described as coming from a private collection, was dated to the fifteenth century and the sale price was estimated at about GBP 4,000.

  • This Translation of the Vita Christi Is a Colossal Work
    “This translation of the Vita Christi is a colossal work making accessible to a new audience a monument of medieval spirituality that influenced such great saints as St. Teresa of Avila and St. Ignatius of Loyola. Ludolph of Saxony drew on patristic and medieval authors to weave a rich spiritual commentary breaking open the Word of God for his contemporaries. Believers will find wisdom. Students of history, theology, and spirituality will gain access to an influential worldview. A magnificent endeavor!” — André Brouillette, SJ Assistant Professor of Systematic and Spiritual Theology Director, Licentiate in Sacred Theology Program (STL) Boston College School of Theology and Ministry “The manuscript tradition of The Life of Christ (Vita Christi) is extremely complex, and Walsh, while basing his translation on the edition, has gone beyond in providing critical apparatus that will be of significant use to scholars, as well as making the text available for students and all interested in the theology, spirituality, and religious life of the later Middle Ages. His introduction expertly places Ludolph’s work in the textual tradition and is itself a contribution to scholarship. Simply put, this is an amazing achievement!” — Eric Leland Saak Professor of History Indiana University “Modern readers will find Ludolph’s work fanciful. This is much here for meditation, and each section concludes with a prayer. The Life of Christ is not for the gullible, but it can be recommended for lectio and spiritual reading.” — Sr. Sarah Schwartzberg, OSB, Spirit & Life “This translation—the first into English—of The Life of Jesus Christ by Ludolph of Saxony will be welcomed both by scholars in various fields and by practicing Christians.

  • Saint John Chrysostom
    St Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Theological College 242 Cleveland St Redfern NSW 2016 Australia The Seventh Saint Andrew’s Patristic Symposium Saint John Chrysostom 23 – 24 September 2016 The Seventh St Andrew’s Patristic Symposium Saint John Chrysostom 23 - 24 September 2016 The seventh St Andrew’s Patristic Symposium focuses on the personality, contributions and legacy of Saint John Chrysostom. Traditionally acknowledged as a great orator, scriptural interpreter and dedicated shepherd, in recent times the significance of Chrysostom is primarily assessed from the viewpoint of social history. Very recently, his input to the notion of free will has opened new avenues for exploration, for instance by scholars of Saint Maximus the Confessor. The Byzantine acclamation of Chrysostom as an ecumenical teacher and the references to him in the 14th century hesychast disputes require further assessment. A broader, interdisciplinary approach to Chrysostomian studies, such as that represented by the papers offered for the present conference, will cast further light on the various contributions of this venerable figure of early Christianity.
