This volume contains Professor Roland Teske's translation of William of Auvergne's Divine Rhetoric along with the Latin text, introduction, and notes. The Latin text improves on that of the 1674 printed edition by the use of two early manuscripts of the work. William was a theologian at the University of Paris and bishop of Paris from 1228 until his death in 1249. He is mainly known for his huge Teaching on God in the Mode of Wisdom, in which he made extensive use of the works of Avicenna and Aristotle as they were becoming known through translations in order to come to some understanding of the Christian faith and philosophy. Although the majority of his writings focus upon the mysteries of the faith and philosophical questions about the nature of human beings, their God, and their world, William was also a bishop with a deep concern for his clergy and people. In his Divine Rhetoric he aimed to explain and illustrate for his priests and people the art of prayer or, as he put it in the subtitle, The Oratorical Art of Divine Eloquence. The work lists and explains seven characteristics or perfections of prayer, but it is perhaps best known for its application of Ciceronian rules of oratory to Christian oratory or prayer.

This volume offers a selection from the vast literature of prayers, devotional lyrics, and introspective meditations composed in Sanskrit in South India over the last thousand years. Three poets of particular salience and artistic genius are represented here. Vedánta Déshika (1268–1369) was perhaps the most outstanding Sanskrit author within the South Indian tradition focused on the god Vishnu and one of the most original poets in the entire history of Sanskrit literature. Two of his best-known works appear in this volume. The Mission of the Goose exemplifies the genre of messenger-poems modeled on Kalidasa’s famous Cloud-Messenger. Here Rama sends a goose to deliver an encouraging message to his wife Sita, captive in the demon Rávana’s island capital of Lanka. The trajectory of the goose takes him over the Tamil country, with graphic descriptions of the great temple sites of Vedánta Déshika’s time, and culminates in a powerful statement about God’s presence in the human world. Compassion is a meditation about the compassionate aspect of Vishnu, particularly as embodied in the great temple site of Tirupati. Here Compassion appears deeply integrated into the god’s own being, but also close in surprising ways to the village goddesses of southern India—voracious, capricious, contradictory, and impulsive. The two remaining poets, Appáyya Díkshita (1520–1592) and Nilakantha Díkshita (1580–1644), belong to the same religious world centered on god Shiva; Appáyya was also the great-uncle and teacher of Nilakantha. In Self-Surrender, Appáyya, one of the great polymaths of the late Sanskrit tradition, composed a highly personal statement. He enacts the surrender of the devotee to the deity and also reflects on the complexity and sometimes paradoxical meanings of this act. The tradition has singled out this work as unique in his corpus; it is said to have been composed when the author was under the influence of a hallucinogenic drug. Nilakantha Díkshita served as a major actor on the political scene of 17th-century southern India, and he also embodied the new poetic ethos of this time. His Peace is a mordantly ironic, self-deprecating, and highly introspective work. Couched in a genre going back to the great classical poet Bhartrihari, Peace reevaluates the very notion of renunciation and the search for transcendence in a skeptical, intimate, and deeply unsettling voice. Taken together, these four works reveal the immense vitality of Sanskrit poetry in the first half of the second millennium in the Tamil country, one of the most productive civilizational centers in the sub-continent
