Abstract

Conal Condren offers a radical reappraisal of the character of moral and political theory in early modern England through an exploration of pervasive arguments about office. In this context he explores the significance of oath-taking and three of the major crises around oaths and offices in the seventeenth century. This fresh focus on office brings into serious question much of what has been taken for granted in the study of early modern political and moral theory concerning, for example, the interplay of ideologies, the emergence of a public sphere, of liberalism, reason of state, de facto theory, and perhaps even political theory and moral agency as we know it. Argument and Authority is a major new work from a senior scholar of early modern political thought, of interest to a wide range of historians, philosophers and literary scholars.

Abstract

This analytical volume examines the various aspects of "De emendanda vita monachica", combining this with the question of whether this text by Eusthatios of Thessalonica with its polemical fireworks and learned allusions was really intended for the monks of the diocese, who are portrayed as being uneducated, or was actually aimed at an unnamed readership. This question forms a leitmotif through the various chapters of the study in which the author locates the work historically within Eustathios' biography and the context of contemporary monastic life, analyzes its place in literary history together with the linguistic devices deployed to establish the different stylistic levels and to influence the psychology of the readers and paints in the theological and hermeneutic background. A detailed commentary is appended. This volume compliments the edition published in the series "Corpus Fontium Historiae Byzantinae". Both volumes are available as a set . War die Schrift "De emendanda vita monachica" des Eustathios von Thessalonike mit ihrem Feuerwerk an Polemik und gelehrten Anspielungen tatsächlich für die als ungebildet dargestellten Mönche der Diözese bestimmt - oder für ein nicht angesprochenes Publikum? Diese Leitfrage zieht sich durch die ausführliche Einführung und den detaillierten Stellenkommentar, die Karin Metzler gleichzeitig mit ihrer Neuedition des Textes in den CFHB vorlegt. Sie untersucht darin historisch den Ort des Werkes innerhalb der Biographie des Eustathios und vor der Folie des zeitgenössischen Mönchtums, bestimmt seine Stellung in der Literaturgeschichte, analysiert die sprachlichen Mittel zur Gestaltung der Stilebenen sowie die psychologische Lenkung der Rezipienten und zeigt den theologischen und hermeneutischen Hintergrund auf. Dieser Band ergänzt die Edition in der Reihe "Corpus Fontium Historiae Byzantinae". Beide Bände sind auch zu einem gemeinsamen Setpreis erhältlich.

Abstract

A detailed investigation into the mysterious group of monks, the Céli Dé, who flourished in early medieval Ireland. The Céli Dé (`clients of God'), sometimes referred to as the Culdees, comprise the group of monks who first appeared in Ireland in the eighth century in association with St Máel Ruain of Tallaght. Although influential and important in the development of the monastic tradition in Ireland, they have been neglected in general histories. This book offers an investigation into the movement. Proceeding from an examination of ascetic practice and theory in early medieval Ireland, followed by a fresh look at the evidence most often cited in support of the prevailing theory of ́"-'céli Dé́"-' identity, the author challenges the orthodox opinion that they were an order or movement intent upon monastic reform at a time of declining religious discipline. At the heart of the book is a manuscript-centred critical evaluation of the large corpus of putative ́"-'céli Dé́"-' texts, offered as a means for establishing a more comprehensive assessment of who and what ́"-'céli Dé́"-' were. Dr Follett argues that they are properly understood as the self-identified members of the personal retinue of God, in whose service they distinguished themselves from other monks and monastic communities in their personal devotion, pastoral care, Sunday observance, and other matters. A catalogue of ́"-'céli Dé́"-' texts with manuscript references is provided in an appendix. WESTLEY FOLLETT is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Southern Mississippi.

Abstract

In this finely written study of demonology and Christian spirituality in fourth- and fifth-century Egypt, David Brakke examines how the conception of the monk as a holy and virtuous being was shaped by the combative encounter with demons. Drawing on biographies of exceptional monks, collections of monastic sayings and stories, letters from ascetic teachers to their disciples, sermons, and community rules, Brakke crafts a compelling picture of the embattled religious celibate.

Abstract

Explores the history of the Church between the conversion to Christianity in the sixth century and a monastic revival in the tenth. Author shows how early Anglo-Saxon religious houses were simultaneously active and contemplative, their members withdrawing from the preoccupations of contemporary aristocratic society while in a very real sense remaining part of that world. Focusing on the institution of the 'minster' (the communal religious community) and rejecting a simplistic binary division between active 'minsters' and enclosed 'monasteries', Foot argues that historians have been wrong to see minsters in the light of ideals of Benedictine monasticism. Instead, she demonstrates that Anglo-Saxon minsters reflected more of contemporary social attitudes; despite their aim for solitude, they retained close links to aristocratic German society.
