New Releases: Fall 2009 – Winter 2010

Three collections of essays on a variety of medieval subjects are featured this fall: Peace and Protection in the Middle Ages represents the inaugural volume in Durham Medieval and Renaissance Monographs and Essays, and The Church and Vernacular Literature in Medieval France the first volume of Toronto Studies in Romance Philology. The third volume, Image, Text and Church, 1380–1600, collects essays in honour of renowned historian Margaret Aston.

We are proud to be publishing as well The Visigoths in History and Legend. Written by Jocelyn Hillgarth, Senior Fellow Emeritus at the Institute, the work ranges widely and is a testament to a lifetime of scholarship. A remarkable new book on Hugh of St Victor by a young scholar, Franklin Harkins, from Fordham University, rounds off the first offerings of the fall season. Among forthcoming volumes are editions and translations of the liturgical commentaries of St Symeon of Thessalonika, a study of the frescoes in the Royal Chapel at Pyrga on Cyprus, and an edition and translation of Henry of Huntingdon's Anglicanus ortus.

In a review of the first two volumes of Giulio Silano’s translation of Peter Lombard published in the American Philosophical Quarterly, Philipp Rosemann concluded: "To render all of the Sentences into English is a very large task, and a self-effacing one, which the modern academic world does not always appreciate as it ought to. We should thank Professor Silano all the more warmly for this fine accomplishment, which – needless to say – belongs in the library of every seminary, theology department, and medievalist in the English-speaking world." We plan to publish the fourth and final book of the Sentences in March of 2010.
