Series on Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Series M-Z
| Editorial responsibility: Centre for
Medieval Studies, University of Sydney |
| Making
the Middle Ages is a series of monographs, and occasionally of
collections, which aims to open up the rapidly growing and relatively
newly recognised field of ‘medievalism’ – the post-medieval
construction of the Middle Ages in scholarship and the arts – to a
readership of academics, graduate students and, in the case of some
volumes, undergraduates or the general reader. The series will be devoted
to scholarship in and the cultural influence of the Middle Ages on
England, mainland Europe, and North America from the sixteenth century to
the present day. It focuses on two perspectives of medievalism: (i) Mediävistiek,
the origins and history of medieval studies, both inside and outside the
academy; and (ii) Mediävismus,
the creation and recreation of the Middle Ages in post-medieval art,
history, literature and popular culture. |
| Editorial responsibility: H. Buschhausen,
J. Szövérffy, I. Vaslef |
| A series primarily devoted to editions or
classified bibliographies of hymns (Latin and Greek) and liturgical
sequences, religious and secular Latin lyrics and minor poetic forms of
the Middle Ages, to passion plays and includes general studies of medieval
Latin literature. |
| Editorial responsibility:
Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies (Toronto) |
| A series of inexpensive translations ideally
suited to classroom use. |
| Editorial responsibility:
Centre for Medieval Studies, University of Hull (contact: Adrian Tudor) |
| A
dedicated forum for comparative work on northern European medieval
literature, history and society and their significance in the modern
world. It aims to promote dialogue between anglophone and continental
medievalists, and to address the need for transcultural perspectives on
Europe’s medieval origins in a way that is distinctive both in scope and
academic orientation. The focus is on the medieval texts and cultures of
the British Isles, northern and central mainland Europe, and Scandinavia.
The chronological range of the series will be from c. 800 AD to c. 1600
AD. |
| Editorial responsibility: R. Ellis, R.
Tixier |
| Volumes in the series represent a selection of
papers delivered at the international conference on the theory and
practice of translation in the Middle Ages. |
| Editorial responsibility:
School of Historical Studies, Monash University (contact: Constant Mews) |
| This is a venue for work in one of the most
exciting and fast-growing fields in medieval studies, the history of
women’s contributions to western culture. The series title contains a
deliberate and productive ambiguity. Since women’s literary culture is a
history of reading, hearing, and patronage, as well as of composition, the
series considers women’s texts as texts for and about, as well as by,
medieval women. The series publishes scholarly monographs and
tightly-themed essay collections as well as editions and translations of
texts by, for and about women. |

A variety of historical disciplines have begun to
re-evaluate the concept of self and identity in the early-modern period
(1350-1650). Rather than thinking of self to be a discrete, static entity,
we now understand it to be formed and reformed in a continual, dynamic
process. Proteus provides a much-needed forum for scholars from a
wide variety of disciplines currently exploring the issue of the self. The
series publishes contributions that address the mediality and
instrumentality of text, image, ritual and habitat as interconnected
mechanisms of self-formation. |

| The
aim of REED is to find, transcribe and publish external evidence of
dramatic, ceremonial and minstrel activity in Great Britain before 1642.
The project was founded in 1976 to provide complete, accurate and uniform
editions of all surviving records evidence for dramatic, ceremonial and
minstrel activity. By the mid-1970s it was clear that scholarship in
medieval and early Tudor drama demanded reliable evidence for the playing
conditions of community or civic drama before the establishment of
professional theatres in London on the 1570s. It is of interest not only
to scholars of Jacobean, Elizabethan, Renaissance and medieval drama, but
to social and urban historians, scholars of early music, dance and popular
custom, researchers into civic ceremonies, folklorists and historians of
early sport. |

| The Repertorium Columbianum is a
collection of contemporary sources relating to Columbus’s four voyages,
and the interpenetration of hitherto separate worlds that resulted from
them. This multivolume series will provide in readily accessible form the
basic documents that are the starting-point for research into this pivotal
moment in world history; they form the indispensable tools for all
scholarly enquiry into the encounter. The series provides accurate
editions of the essential texts in their original languages for the use of
specialists, whilst at the same time making them available to students and
scholars in related fields through parallel translations into modern
English. The Repertorium’s scope is generally limited to sources
from the period between Columbus’s first voyage and the Spanish conquest
of Mexico in 1519-1521. |

The series Sous la règle de saint Augustin is intended to publish texts, medieval and early modern as well as contemporary,
which originated from the Augustinian regular canons: mystical treatises, biographies, memoirs, travel stories, poetical works,
etc. The nucleus of this series is the complete work of Hugh of St. Victor. Texts are offered in a new French translation,
occasionally together with the Latin original when it is not easily
accessible. |
| Editorial responsibility: Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes (Paris) and the Constantijn Huygens
Instituut (The Hague) - contacts: Louis Holtz,
Olga Weijers |
| This collection is a joint publication of the Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes (Paris) and the Constantijn Huygens
Instituut (The Hague) and is part of the joint research programme on the theme of "The Faculty of Arts at the Medieval
Universities".
Intellectual mechanisms constitute the object of study of this collection. The aim is to bring out the different components that
have accompanied the radical transformation in the way of thinking and of conceiving the world one sees in the medieval
university, particularly in the Faculty of Arts.
The choice of the Faculty of Arts is not arbitrary. It was there that the student acquired the basic methods, the ways of
thinking and analysing, and the modes of composition that prepared him for the composition of his own academic writings. |

Centre for Medieval Studies, University of York (contact: Elizabeth Tyler) |
| This
series focuses on Western Europe in the Early Middle Ages and covers work
in the areas of history, literature, archaeology, art history and
religious studies. The series aims to bring together current scholarship
on early medieval Britain with scholarship on western mainland Europe and
Viking Scandinavia, more traditionally studied separately or in terms of
the interaction of discrete cultures and areas. Recently, there has been a
move away from looking at the early medieval period in terms of those
regions which eventually developed inot modern European nation states; for
example the North Sea has emerged as an important cultural area and a
number of very productive studies have focused on smaller regions such as
Brittany, the area around Metz, and various kingdoms of Anglo-Saxon
England. |

This collection is intended to make accessible the personalities of significant
authors via their intellectual environment and their works. Each work consists
of two parts: the biographical commentary and the texts.
The biographical commentaries contain three elements: a
historical view concerning the life of the author, a bibliographical
view situating the author in relationship to the work, and a literary
view on the work itself. The texts are presented in an annotated
translation. The series is relevant both to students and specialists.

The Typologie is based on the
premise that any historical issue is illuminated by sources and research
is necessarily founded on rigorous examination of these sources. Without
an understanding of the specific characteristics of each type of source
the scholar can be led astray. The Typology aims to define these
characteristics and the rules for the interpretation of each type of
source. All sources (documentary, visual, archaeological, liteary) have
been classified in an overall scheme. Each genre of source is studied in
turn. First, the origin and evolution of each genre is surveyed. Second,
specific rules for criticism are laid down so that historians may
exploit the source fully and correctly whether in terms of events and
institutions, the economy and society, the history of ideas or cultural
activities.

One
of the most important developments in European history took place in
communication. A transition is clearly visible from illiterate societies
to societies in which most members are active users of the written word.
This complex process, which started in Antiquity and is still not
complete, gained momentum during the Middle Ages. Many disciplines have
recently made contributions to our understanding of the history of
medieval communication: codicologists and historians of the book,
anthropologists and psychologists, but also philosophers, sociologists,
literary historians, classicists and theologians, economists, art
historians and historians. Much has become known, but much more awaits
discovery. Since 1996 the Dutch ‘Pionierproject Verschriftelijking’
has been researching the uses of the written word in medieval Europe,
particularly the early Middle Ages, and has convened the international
Editorial Board to oversee this series. The series is a forum for
publications on the history of non-verbal, oral and written
communication in the Middle Ages and is a fruitful home for studying the
tensions between oral and literate modes of thought.
