Away from Bologna these pioneers were isolated scattered from Scotland to Styria or Catalonia and no more than one hundred can now be identified. These people and their manuscripts and the relationships between them are the subject of this collection the fifth in the Variorum series by André Gouron himself to be regarded as a pioneer in this field of research. This volume brings together twenty-two studies which have appeared since 1997 in widely scattered publications often hard to access along with additional notes and indexes. | Pionniers du droit occidental au Moyen Age

Letters Literacy and Literature in Byzantium

Letters Literacy and Literature in Byzantium

These studies look at general problems of reading Byzantine literature at literacy practices and the literary process but also at individual texts. The past thirty years have seen a revolution in the way Byzantine literature has been viewed: no longer is it considered a decadent form of classical literature or a turgid precursor of modern Greek literature. There are still prejudices to overcome: that there was no literary public or that Byzantium had no drama or humour but Byzantine texts are now read as literature in the social context of literacy and book culture. One genre is treated here more fully: the letter (Derrida said that letters represent all literature). In these studies epistolography is examined from the point of view of genre of originality of communication and as evidence for political history. Other genres touched on include the novel historiography parainesis panegyric and hagiography. The section on literary process includes essays on genre patronage and rhetoric and the section on literacy practices deals with both writing and reading. The collection includes one unpublished lecture which acts as introduction and additional notes and comments. | Letters Literacy and Literature in Byzantium

The Armenians in the Medieval Islamic World Armenian Realpolitik in the Islamic World and Diverging Paradigmscase of Cilicia Eleventh to Fou

This period marked the gradual loss of semi-autonomy on the traditional mainland and the rise of Armenian power of diverging patterns in southeastern Asia Minor north Syria Cilicia and Egypt. Dadoyan's premise is that if Armenians and Armenia have always been located in the Middle East and the Islamic world then their history is also a natural part of that region and its peoples. She observes that the Armenian experience has been too complicated to be defined by simplistic constructs centered on the idea of a heroic yet victimized nation. She notes that a certain politics of historical writing supported by a culture of authority has focused sharply on episodes and in particular on the genocide. For her sources Dadoyan has used all available and relevant (primary and secondary) Armenian sources as well as primary Arab texts and sources. This book will stimulate re-evaluation of the period and re-conceptualizing Armenian and Middle Eastern histories. | The Armenians in the Medieval Islamic World Armenian Realpolitik in the Islamic World and Diverging Paradigmscase of Cilicia Eleventh to Fou
