Infos

Since its founding in 1943, Medievalia et Humanistica has won worldwide recognition as the first scholarly publication in America to devote itself entirely to medieval and Renaissance studies. Since 1970, a new series, sponsored by the Modern Language Association of America and edited by an international board of distinguished scholars and critics, has published interdisciplinary articles. In yearly hardcover volumes, the new series publishes significant scholarship, criticism, and reviews treating all facets of medieval and Renaissance culture: history, art, literature, music, science, law, economics, and philosophy.

Volume 37 Literary Appropriationsexamines medieval literature in a different light. This volume features six original articles, focusing on the art of appropriation, as well as fourteen reviews of recent scholarly publications. The first article ';The Oldest Manuscript Witness of the First Life of Blessed Francis of Assisi' by Jacques Dalarun reveals the oldest known source of the writings of Francis of Assisi, until of late only found in an Italian church publication. Lisa Bansen-Harp's essay ';Ironic Patterning and Numerical Composition in the Vie de saint Alexis: Form and Effect/Affect' takes an ironic look at the oppositions used throughout the work to offer a rich analysis of patterns. Reexamining genealogy as spiritual rather than biological is Nicole Leapley's essay ';Rewriting Paternity: The Meaning of Renovating Westminster in La Esoire de seint Aedward le rei.' David Lummus's essay ';Boccaccio's Three Venuses: On the Convergence of Celestial and Transgressive Love in the Genealogie Deorum Gentilium Libri' provides a comparative look of how lovecelestial and transgressivecan be seen in the Decameron. ';Dante's Justinian, Cino's Corpus: The Hermeneutics of Poetry and Law' by Lorenzo Valterza compares and contrasts Dante's own view of law versus that of his friend Cino da Pistoia. Lastly, editor Paul Clogan contributes his own article ';Dante's Appropriation of Lucan's Cato and Erichtho' to demonstrate the importance of Lucan's characters in Dante's own work Along with these articles, fourteen reviews, from the United States and all over the world, are included, truly making Medievalia et Humanistica an international publication.To reflect the submissions and audience for Medievalia et Humanistica, the editorial and review boards include ten members from the United States and ten international members, making thisa truly international publication.For submission guidelines, please contact Jin Yu at [e-mail] submit books for review consideration to:Attention: Reinhold F.
