Abstract

"The story of Tristan and Islode was one of the most popular in the Middle Ages. Resonances of it appear in other narratives, in poetry, and especially in art in the form of wall paintings, wall hangings, tapestries, bed coverings, tablecloths, and other needle work, floor tiles, marriage caskets, mirrors, purses, shoes, and combs. More publicly, scenes from the story appear on misericords from English cathedrals and on Baltic city halls; stone figures grace facades and mantlepieces of grand palaces of the rich bourgeouisie. In addition to listing all the extant manuscripts, artefacts, and objects d'art and describing all the scenes depicted on them, the purpose of this book is to promote the notion of specific and generic episodes and scenes as a method of composing and identifying narratives, and to examine what the various narrative sequences of illustrations have to tell us about the reception of the story of Tristan and Isolde."

Abstract

"En couleur et en mouvement, le jongleur joue de la musique parmi les oiseaux, les animaux et les rinceaux fleuris des livres enluminés du Moyen Age. Jamais loin du roi David, il accroche l'oeil et éveille l'esprit par son caractère incongru et étonnant. Ce livre est consacré à ses figurations dans les psautiers, les ouvrages de philosophie naturelle et de métaphysique d'Aristote, destinés aux laïcs, dans les royaumes de France et d'Angleterre, entre 1200 et 1330. Il étudie la transformation de la figure du jongleur depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'à sa réinvention par les nouveaux intellectuels du XIIIe siècle, soucieux de se distinguer du jongleur : Dominicains, Franciscains et maîtres séculiers de l'Université, ainsi que les poètes et les ménestrels dans les cours et les villes. Savamment, auteurs et concepteurs d'images ont forgé une figure en mouvement de la Physis, du son et de l'ouïe, axée sur la théorie de la connaissance aristotélicienne, transformant ainsi le jongleur en image de mémoire et en mémoire de l'image, celle du Christ et de l'homme créé à l'image de Dieu." P. [4] of cover.

Abstract

The material properties of late medieval manuscripts testify to the power of visual images to shape both the reading experience and the reader. Early fifteenth century Paris saw a proliferation of luxury manuscripts whose luminous illustrations situate the reader as spectator, and Christine de Pizan's Epistre Othea exemplifies the power of visual representation to shape the medieval reading experience. According to the rhetoric of the Othea, the body, character, and soul of the reader are formed as a result of simultaneously viewing the images and reading the text. In Myth, Montage, and Visuality in Late Medieval Manuscript Culture Marilynn Desmond and Pamela Sheingorn analyze the ways in which Othea manuscripts display classical myths for late medieval humanist, chivalric, and Christian readers. Desmond and Sheingorn's innovative study draws extensively on film theory and its notions of spectatorship to explore the ethical implications of viewing illustrated manuscripts for the medieval reader. Focusing particularly on the twin manuscripts of the Othea in the Duke's manuscript and the Queen's manuscript, the authors suggest that pre-modern and post-modern cultures share a predilection for the cinematic arrangement of knowledge in a montage format in which meaning derives from unexpected juxtapositions. Desmond and Sheingorn's interdisciplinary endeavor sheds new light on the study of medieval women writers, the medieval reception of classical myth, manuscript studies and codicology, gender and sexuality, and theoretical approaches to visual cultures, particularly the value of film theory for the study of pre-modern cultures.
