Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1992. vii, 247 pp. Editor's introduction, edited text, commentary glossary, bibliography. Reputedly written by Jerome Barlow[e] and William Roy[e], former Fransciscan friars, this is a long pre-Reformation verse satire which unrelentingly and irreverently attacks various aspects of Roman Catholicism as well as Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, England's powerful prelate-chancellor in power under Henry VIII from 1515 to 1529. Written probably late in 1527 and published in 1528 in Strasbourg by the Protestant printer Johann Schott, this acerbic indictment of the traditional church was, like other early English Protestant works of the period, too inflammatory and controversial for the authors to publish in their own religiously conservative country. It is an important work not because it presents original ideas but because it is an engagingly populist and humorous work meant to appeal to the common reader, and because it serves as a compendium of many of the complaints against the traditional church.

Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press, 1996 viii, 322 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 275-313) and index. "In October 1656 James Nayler, a prominent Quaker leader - second only to George Fox in the nascent movement - rode into Bristol surrounded by followers singing hosannas in deliberate imitation of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. In Leo Damrosch's trenchant reading this incident and the extraordinary outrage it ignited shed new light on Cromwell's England and on religious thought and spirituality in a turbulent period. Damrosch gives a clear picture of the origins and early development of the Quaker movement, elucidating the intellectual foundations of Quaker theology. A number of central issues come into sharp relief, including gender symbolism and the role of women, belief in miraculous cures, and - particularly in relation to the meaning of the entry into Bristol - "signs of the indwelling spirit". Damrosch's account of the trial and savage punishment of Nayler for blasphemy exposes the politics of the Puritan response, the limits to Cromwellian religious liberalism. The Sorrows of the Quaker Jesusis at once,a study of antinomian religious thought, of an exemplary individualist movement that suddenly found itself obliged to impose order, and of the ways in which religious and political ideas become intertwined in a period of crisis. It is also a vivid portrait of a fascinating man.". First Edition.. Hardcover. Like New/Like New. more information

Paris / Louvain: Desclee de Brouwer / Bibliotheque de l'Universite, 1943 [Series: Recueil de travaux d'histoire et de philologie; 3e ser., fasc. 14] xl, 460 pp. + 14 plates. Bibliography, footnotes, illustrations, 3 appendices, errata, indices, plates. Main text in French; documents (in appendices) given in original Greek with parallel French translations. In this landmark study, Denissoff presents a study of the life and work of Saint Maxim the Greek, often called the "Enlightener of Russia," with particular focus on his early life and pre-Muscovite works. Born Michael Trivolis (as first revealed in this book by Denissoff), Maxim the Greek (1470-1556) was classically educated in Italy. After teaching and studying there for several years, he became a monk and retired to the monastery of San Marco in 1502. In 1505/6, he seems to have rejected his life in Italy and retreated, never to return, to Mount Athos in Greece (Vatopedi monastery) where he assumed the name "Maxim the Greek." Under the auspices of the Ottoman Porte and by request of the patriarchate, he accepted the position of missionary (1518-1556) to the small Russian state of Muscovy where he set to work translating and correcting errors which had slipped into the Slavonic translations of church texts. Through this work and his spiritual teachings and writings, Maxim the Greek was an important figure in bringing Byzantine culture and Italian Renaissance humanism to the country. His literary legacy was substantial. He was canonized a century after his death. In original wraps. CONDITION: Some chipping to edges of covers and base of spine. Pages untrimmed and unopened.

Bruxelles: De Boeck Université, 2000 477 pp. Footnotes, appendices, bibliography, index. Text in French. Aux XIe et XIIe siècles, l'hagiographie est un moyen d'expression privilégié des idéologies monastiques. Celles-ci prétendent alors mettre les moines au coeur d'une société chrétienne à l'harmonie de laquelle ils oeuvrent plus que tout autre ordo. Cette conviction s'appuie largement sur une conception modulable du verbe efficace, capable de faire et de défaire, en particulier par la prière. À partir de la fin du XIe siècle, cependant, certains milieux érémitico-monastiques développent une conception plus pastorale de la parole, qui vise désormais la conversion des individus. Les textes hagiographiques permettent de comprendre les limites et les enjeux de cette évolution, qui a joué un rôle de premier plan dans l'histoire des idéologies cléricales.

Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2004. 399 pp. Footnotes, bibliography, indexes. This book combines studies of changes in modern interpretations of Greek religion with studies of changes in Athenian ritual. The combination is necessary in order to combat influential stereotypes: that Greek religion consisted of ritual without theological speculation, that ritual is inherently conservative. To re-examine the evidence for Greek rituals and their interpretation is also to re-examine our own preconceptions and prejudices. The author tries to bring Greek texts closer to the "classic" texts of other civilizations, and religion, as a form of speculative thought, closer to science. Her anthropological studies of Athenian rituals put this emphasis on changing interpretations into practice, showing that the Athenians thought about their rites as well as celebrating them. CONTENTS: Introduction. 1) Classics and colonialism: towards an erotics of the discipline. 2) Dynamics of the Greek "breakthrough": the dialogue between philosophy and religion. 3) Lycurgus of Boutadai: an Athenian aristocrat. 4) A sense of agency: religion in the Attic demes. 5) Historicizing fertility. 6) Metamorphoses of tradition: the Athenian Anthesteria.

One of the earliest and most important works of biblical interpretation is the Latin text commonly known as the "Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum" (LAB). It was written in the first second century C.E. and is thus a great source of illumination for the period and milieu out of which arose various Jewish sects and Christianity. Volume 2 contains the continuation of the author's commentary begun in volume 1 (the latter contains an introduction, the Latin text with a new English translation, and the first part of the author's commentary in 640 pages). The author seeks to illuminate the LAB by reconstructing the original Hebrew when that is useful, and by bringing new and pertinent evidence from the Bible, from Rabbinic literature, and from early Christian literature.
