Analysis of Criminal Sanctions for Perpetrators of Mixing LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas)
Authors: Farakan Mochammad Edgar , Sadat Anwar , Kusuma Tiyar Cahya
Published: August 2023

LPG has long been an alternative to kerosene. One of the objectives of the kerosene to LPG conversion program in 2007 was to supply fuel that is comfortable, clean, and efficient. Despite the government's intention to help the less fortunate with the LPG gas subsidy program, some individuals have used this as an opportunity to abuse it. Not only was the distribution misdirected, but these individuals misused it for personal gain. They deliberately buy as much subsidized LPG gas as possible and then resell it in mixed form by transferring the contents of the 3 kg of subsidized gas into 12 kg of non-subsidized gas cylinders (Irawan, 2020). Based on this description, the author feels the need to conduct an analysis of several articles that discuss criminal sanctions for mixing LPG. The method used in this study is a normative juridical method with a statutory approach that analyzes all articles related to criminal sanctions for mixing LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). Based on the results of the discussion, the act of mixing subsidized LPG gas cylinders into empty cylinders of 12 kg or 50 kg size is very detrimental and can be regarded as a criminal act. So based on Article 62 paragraph 1 of Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, which states that traffickers violate the provisions mentioned in Article 8, Article 9, Article 10, Article 13 paragraph (2), Article 15, Article 17 paragraph (1cerning Consumer Protection, which states that traffickers violate the provisions mentioned in Article 8, Article 9, Article 10, Article 13 paragraph (2), Article 15, Article 17 paragraph (1), letter a, letter b, letter c, letter e, paragraph (2), and number 18, the offender can be punished with imprisonment for a maximum of 5 (five) years or a fine of up to Rp. 2,000,000,000.00 (two billion rupiah).
Legal Protection for Victims of Cyberbullying: An Assessment of the Role of Social Media and Responsibilities of Service Providers
Authors: Berkah Raka Sabda , Kusumawati Andriana , Atmadja Hendra Tanu
Published: August 2023

The rapid development of technology nowadays has both positive and negative impacts on society, including the emergence of cyberbullying. Therefore, this research aims to investigate how social media can influence the occurrence of cyberbullying and how the responsibility of service providers can help protect the victims. This research is a normative (doctrinal) study that utilizes data sources such as literature, references, and documents. The research approach used is the statute approach, which analyzes relevant laws and regulations regarding the legal protection of cyberbullying victims. The findings of this research highlight that legal protection and ethical behavior in social media complement each other in creating a safe and fair environment for all users. Existing laws can be applied to address cyberbullying cases, and criminal law reforms are also underway to enhance protection for the victims. Additionally, the responsibility of social media service providers is crucial in safeguarding cyberbullying victims. They should have clear policies, effective reporting mechanisms, and adequate privacy protection. Furthermore, social media users also need to adhere to ethical communication practices to prevent cyberbullying incidents.
Love for the Planet: From Ecology to Planetary Erotics
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Emanuele Coccia
Published: August 2023

This paper begins by exploring some historical literature, including fairy tales, on “love” and debunks its most popular idea as a purely natural and spontaneous relationship between humans. It then shifts focus to human relationships with animals, particularly companion animals like dogs and cats. The paper argues that the human-animal bond diminishes one's individuality or identity, enabling the experience of affection in its truest sense, which is a deep, interconnected love between beings. It concludes that interspecies relationships exemplify love in its purest form, transcending biological characteristics and encompassing all species on Earth, including the planet itself. The paper suggests the necessity of reimagining ecology as “planetary erotics” to gain a fresh perspective on our understanding and experience of love.
The Logic of the Uncanny: On the Role of Uncanny and Representation in Hal Foster's Analysis of Surrealism
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Lee Jinhee , Lee Jaejoon
Published: August 2023

Hal Foster shares his basic stance with Rosalind Krauss in the analysis of Surrealism. He focus is internal criticism of Surrealists; the common writing style and Automatism agreed by Surrealist Manifesto are quite inappropriate for the expression of paintings. And he accommodates uncanny logic to solve this problem. Uncanny is an ontological panic associated with the accidental revealing of something fundamentally oppressed. The purpose of this discussion is to reappraise about the logic of the uncanny in Foster's Surrealism to supplement for the problem of representation that he could not analysis. This is representation and representational images were a fundamental and important expression of Surrealism that sought to realize the interpretation of dreams. For this discussion, we suggest the internal contradiction of Surrealism along Foster and Krauss. Furthermore, we reveal that the fundamental part of this internal contradictions is matter of representation, which is ontologically a problem of self-identity and a problem of narcissistic double and likeness as presented in Freud's analysis of the uncanny. Finally, it uses this as a basis for a reinterpretation of the uncanny logic employed in Foster's analysis of surrealism.
Hate Speech and Institutionalized Society
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Na Tari Young-jung
Published: August 2023

This article analyzes the related histories of institutionalization and hate speech in order to address the issue of hate speech as an accumulated result of structural violence, often stimulated by the state. Institutionalization, as an analytic framework, refers to a social mechanism that produces “unproductive” and “abnormal” citizens, or non-citizens, and incarcerates them both within and outside of society, all in the name of protecting the “society”. Individuals who can’t get their social position in legal or family structures found themselves outside of society's protective structures. I criticize how the contemporary tendency confines the criticism of hate speech to the rhetoric of “freedom of speech” and conflict between individuals and how it obscures, and thus perpetuates, the structural violence that facilitates hate speech. By addressing the concept of “institutionalization” as an analytic framework, this article highlights the linkage between institutionalized society, state power, and hate speech. In doing so, I argue that the rethinking of “human rights” can be a useful method to cut off the structural reproduction of hate speech.
An Anglian Alliance: Place-Name Tracing the Iclingas and Wicingas
Authors: Wickenden Thomas
Published: August 2023

Abstract This paper describes the close relationship between two obscure tribal groups, the Iclingas and the Wicingas. Starting on the Continent in Angeln and crossing over to East Anglia by different routes, they migrated across post-Roman Britain to the Western Midlands,
where they provided mutual support in establishing the medieval kingdoms of Mercia and Hwiccia. Based upon the tracing of place-names and the mapping of settlements along historical migration routes, this research incorporates several disciplines, including medieval history, migration studies,
and onomastics. The paper also makes use of innovative techniques, such as Micro-level Tracing and Contact Tracing, as well as modern tools, such as the Mathematical Theory of Games, and Google Maps, to describe the unexpected alliance between these two Anglian kinship groups, thereby adding
significant information to the notoriously opaque history of Britain in the sixth century.
Wholeness, Holiness, and Wondrous Healing: Wellness and Formulaic Performativity in the Anglo-Saxon Herbal Healing Guides
Authors: Tormey Warren
Published: August 2023

Abstract Sitting inauspiciously in chapter 92, almost directly in the middle of the late 10th/early 11th-century Lacnunga Manuscript, is a straightforward remedy for chest pain: “Gif þin heorte ace, nim ribban wyl on meolce, drinc nygon morgenas,
þe bið sona sel” (“If your heart should ache, take ribwort and boil it in milk; drink it for nine mornings; soon it will be better for you.”). Taken at face value, the medical prescription offered here is unsatisfying if not outright disquieting in its lack of detail.
For the symptom of an aching heart could reflect something as benignly discomforting as indigestion, or, as a seasoned healer from any era would likely recognize, it could suggest the conditions known today as acute myocardial infarction (i.e., the sudden death of cardiac tissue) or pulmonary
embolism (a cardiac blood clot), or some other dire and potentially life-threatening medical plight. Moreover, even as modern science confirms the traditionally-recognized medical efficacy of ribwort ‐ even today, a fairly proliferate plant1 ‐ any set of symptoms lasting
for as long as nine days ‐ the length of time within which the dosage of milk and ribwort (plantago lanceolata) is prescribed ‐ would likewise suggest a condition more enduring and serious than one causing routine discomfort. Finally, while the hoped-for outcome ‐
a vaguely quick return to “wellness” as the anticipated result of the treatment ‐ is stated directly (to the implied patient) and with such confident brevity, the prescription disturbingly omits any description of any process or stages of recovery over that nine day period,
thus further arousing the suspicions of modern readers about the treatment’s efficacy. It is also noteworthy, then, that some version of that inscrutably optimistic phrase (“sona bið þe sel”) appears in eighteen separate instances across the manuscript as a whole.
,,Heilsgeschichte“ im Mittelalter: was meinen Petrus Damiani und Rupert von Deutz mit historia salutis?1
Authors: Mégier Elisabeth
Published: August 2023

Abstract Referring to medieval conceptions of history modern medievalists currently employ the terms ,,Heilsgeschichte,“ ,,salvation history,“ ,,history of salvation,“ ,,histoire du Salut”, or similar ones, whereas the seemingly corresponding term
historia salutis is extremely rare in the medieval texts: among the Latin Christian authors up to 1200 only two, Petrus Damiani and Rupert of Deutz use it – not often ‐ in their writings. My contribution explores the meaning these authors attach to the term, and takes a
look at its patristic precedents. Different from the modern concept, the medieval historia salutis does not associate salvation with history as a general process, but with the life and deeds – the history ‐ of Jesus Christ as a person.
From vita to exemplum, the South English Legendary Adaptation of the Legenda Aurea “Petronilla”
Authors: Emons-Nijenhuis Wiesje
Published: August 2023

Abstract A few decades after its introduction on the Continent, a substantial number of Legenda Aurea legends were incorporated into the Middle English collections of saints’ lives that came to be known as the South English Legendary. Many of the Legenda
Aurea legends in the South English Legendary are adaptations rather than translations. This is caused by the South English Legendary’s form, septenary or octonary couplets, but also because the author(s) felt free to use the Legenda Aurea material to suit their
own, frequently didactic, purposes. A good example of this is the legend of “Petronilla,” modified so that it could serve as an exemplum in a moralising sermon. This article will concentrate on how this conversion, unique to the South English Legendary, was effectuated.
As the South English Legendary “Petronilla” has never been edited, the Appendix contains a critical edition and a translation.
The German Translations of Lanfranc of Milan’s Chirurgia parva: from Latin to Vernacular or from One Vernacular to the Other?*
Authors: Benati Chiara , Caparrini Marialuisa
Published: August 2023

Abstract Lanfranc of Milan is considered as one of the most influential surgeons of the late Middle Ages and his Latin works – the Chirurgia parva and the Chirurgia magna – have informed surgical practice until the 16th century. The importance
of his works (1293/1294 and 1296) is witnessed by the large number of vernacular translations produced after their original compilation. Overall, three High German translations of Lanfranc’s Chirurgia parva have come down to us: 1. the significantly shortened version transmitted
in Vatican City, MS Pal. Lat, 1117; 2. the integral version preserved in Kalocsa, Cathedral Library, MS 376 and in Erlangen, University Library, MS B 3; and 3. the early modern printed translation by Otto Brunfels. Even though the Latin source of these translations has never been identified
precisely, it has been traditionally taken for granted that they were based on a Latin model. Nevertheless, a series of correspondences between the two manuscript versions and the French translation transmitted in Bern, Burgerbi­bliothek, MS A 85.2 seem to indicate that a vernacular source
is also possible. In this study, the two German manuscript translations of Lanfranc’s Chirurgia parva will be taken into consideration with respect to the problems connected with the identification of their source(s), trying to ascertain whether they are really based on a Latin
model, or, as suggested by Claude De Tovar, they are rather connected with the French vernacularization of the text witnessed by the Bern manuscript.
The Missing Woodland Resources: Archaeobotanical Studies of the Use of Plant Raw Materials, ed. Marian Berihuete-Azorín et al. Advances in Archaeobotany, 6. Groningen: Barkhuis Publishing, 2021, 183 pp.
Authors: Farmer Thomas
Published: August 2023

Abstract: Forests provided a range of essential resources for medieval people: Timber for con­struction most obviously, but also fuel (including charcoal, so useful for producing pottery and metalware), forage for livestock, and a place to hunt game and gather wild plants
(both for food and dyes). But in addition to these better-known resources, forests also provided other raw materials out of which people could make a variety of products, such as baskets, wicker, and wattle. Because these plant materials rot so easily, archeologists rarely recover them, and
so they remain invisible in our understanding of the past.

Authors: Breeze Andrew
Published: August 2023

Abstract: In this new and absorbing approach to spirituality, the theme is infinity within little room. So much emerges from the study of four texts: the anonymous Doctrine of the Hert; Mechthild of Hackeborn’s Booke of Gostlye Grace; St. Bridget of Sweden’s
Liber Celestis; and Nicholas Love’s Mirror of the Blessed Life of Jesus Christ. The author makes us see all four (each read in medieval England, particularly by women) with new eyes. Although the work of professional religious who spent years in one place, they possess
insights which go far.

Abstract: Auf erstem Blick mag man sich über den sehr knappen Titel dieses umfangreichen Sammelbandes wundern, der die ausgearbeiteten Vorträge auf einer Tagung in Bretten bei Karlsruhe im Herbst 2017 vereinigt. Es geht um wirklich ein ganzes Jahrhundert, das hier
in seiner Eigenständigkeit, Einzigartigkeit und Bedeutung anhand von individuellen Studien erfasst werden soll. Natürlich ist ein solches Unterfangen höchst problematisch, denn wir können sofort eine ganze Fülle von Aspekten identifizieren, die hier nicht zur Sprache
kommen, sei es die Architektur, fast die gesamte volkssprachliche Literatur, Mode, Ernährung, Landwirtschaft, Handel etc. Dafür aber bieten die Beiträger je für sich ausgezeichnete, gut strukturierte und tiefschürfende Überblicke, die äußerst informationsreich
gestaltet sind und oftmals fast enzyklopädischen Charakter haben. Zwar wird die relevante Forschung gründlich berücksichtigt, aber das Ziel besteht meistens darin, das jeweilige oft sehr spezielle Thema so gründlich wie möglich zu erfassen und darzulegen. Akzeptiert
man diese Selbstbeschränkung, wird man von jedem Aufsatz reich belohnt, der ein neues Plateau in der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion darstellt. Immer wieder drängte sich bei mir der Gedanke auf, diese oder jene Arbeit im nächsten Graduiertenseminar einzusetzen.

Abstract: Were medieval lay Christians forbidden by the Catholic Church to read the Bible in their mother tongue? Were vernacular Bibles a rarity? If vernacular Bibles flourished, as they did, who were the translators, and how were the ancient books of the Bible reworked
to engage the lay man or woman of a time and culture far removed from the ancient world? Where the Church authorities approved of these Bibles, what were the agendas served?

Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: August 2023

Abstract: In ihrer Habilitationsschrift (Frankfurt a. M.; weder Ort noch Datum werden genannt) bemüht sich Laetitia Rimpau darum, einen höchst ungewöhnlichen Spagat zu schlagen zwischen Alighieri Dante und Johannes Kepler hinsichtlich ihrer parallelen Wissenschaftssicht
und poetologischen Neuorientierung hin zur Musenlehre, die jeweils für Ihre Zeit unbekannt oder unbeliebt war. Parallel zu unserer heutigen Zeit waren beide Persönlichkeit zutiefst mit Frustration über den jeweils zeitgenössischen Bildungsstand und das Lehrprogramm an den
Universitäten erfüllt und verfolgten daher eine individuelle Perspektive, die bei beiden sich auf die Vorstellungen Platons von den kosmischen Verhältnisse zurückführen lässt, der keineswegs von Aristoteles einfach in den Schatten gestellt worden war und gerade
seit 1300 beträchtlich neu an Ansehen gewann. Es geht um das Sphärenmodell, also um die Vorstellung der Gestalt des Kosmos, der schon immer in einer Kugelgestalt gesehen wurde. Beide Autoren stützten sich auf ein elaboriertes, harmonisches System von Zahlen im mathematischen
Sinne, um ihre Weltsicht zu entwickeln, was weit herab bis auf unsere Zeit einen tiefen Einfluss ausgeübt hat.

Published: August 2023

Abstract: Der Mainzer Eberhard Windeck (ca. 1380‐1440) ist uns v.a. als Verfasser des erstmals kritisch von Wilhelm Altmann 1893 herausgegebenen Buchs von Kaiser Sigmund bekannt, welches er in den letzten Jahren seines Lebens geschrieben hat. Insgesamt führte
Windeck ein bisher von der Forschung zu wenig gewürdigtes, wahrlich facettenreiches Leben als spätmittelalterlicher Kaufmann und königlicher Berater. Joachim Schneider füllt diese Lücke auf meisterhafte Art, indem er minutiös die verschiedenen Lebensstationen
Windecks in der vorliegenden Monographie (welche aus einem DFG-Projekt erwachsen ist) darstellt. Dabei ist der Titel fast etwas irreführend, da eben nicht das Werk Windecks, vielmehr dessen Leben, seine gesellschaftlichen Beziehungen und Netzwerke im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtung des ersten,
chronologisch aufgebauten Hauptteils stehen (Kap. 4‐6, S. 25‐223). Die vielen Querverästelungen und persönlichen Bindungen Windecks analysiert Schneider besonders vor dem Hintergrund neuster mediävistischer Forschung zu ,Freundschaft‘ und ,Verwandtschaft‘
(22). Erst im zweiten, wesentlich kürzeren Hauptteil kommt der Verfasser auf die verschiedenen Handschriften des Sigmundbuchs (S. 224‐285) zu sprechen, die er jeweils eingehend bespricht – dazu unten mehr. Damit ist die Hauptstruktur des Werks vorgegeben.

Abstract: In ihrer 2019 in Erfurt verteidigten Dissertation, die nun im Druck vorliegt, beschäftigt sich Julia Seeberger mit einem wahrhaft faszinierendem Thema, mit der Geschichte der Olfaktorik im Mittelalter, wobei sie sich speziell auf das Zeugnis der Wiener Mystikerin
Agnes Blannbekin stützt. Olfaktorik ist ein schwieriges Forschungsgebiet, weil Gerüche ja meist sehr flüchtig sind, aber sie spielen dennoch eine große kulturhistorische Rolle, und dies nicht nur aus mentalitätsgeschichtlicher Perspektive, sondern auch aus einer theologischen
Sicht. Schließlich wurde und wird der himmlische Bereich stets noch mit Wohlgerüchen, der höllische mit infernalischem Gestank gleichgesetzt, was sich sehr deutlich bei Dante in seiner Divina Commedia gut nachzeichnen ließe (hier nicht konsultiert). Unser menschliches
Wohlbefinden hängt oftmals vom Geruchsumfeld ab, was rein physisch-chemische Bedingungen einschließt, zugleich aber auch spirituell oder ästhetisch bestimmt sein kann. Sozialhistorisch und alltagsgeschichtlich gesehen spielen Gerüche ebenfalls eine große Rolle, was
die Autorin umfangreich zu Beginn ihrer Arbeit behandelt. Der Schwerpunkt ruht aber auf den Aussagen der Blannbekin, selbst wenn diese erst sehr spät zur Sprache kommen.

Abstract: In twenty-five chapters the leading historian of medieval Bohemia has delineated how and why the kingdom of Bohemia should be regarded as “Europe’s Center in Motion.” All of these essays have previously appeared in print over a twenty-five year
period between 1984 and 2009. The book is divided into five parts. Part one called “Panoramic Views” takes up considerations of the Czech lands between 1050 and 1452; the social question of the pre-Hussite era in terms of crisis and revolution; the idea of forced toleration in
the Hussite age; and the role of heresy. Part two focuses on the Luxemburgers with special attention on royal festivals, Charles IV, and considerations of nascent nationalism. Part three draws attention to the Hussite period on which Šmahel has devoted so much of his work over the past
60 years. Here we learn much about the Jewish community in that time, along with incisive considerations of the communities of Prague, Tábor, and urban ideals. Part four considers Jan Hus, Jerome of Prague, the famous and important “four articles of Prague,” along with considerations
of the afterlife and magic in this life. Part five delves into visual culture, and Šmahel escorts the reader along the fruitful bound­aries of late medieval mass media, illegible manuscript inscriptions, legal archaeology, and other iconographical marginalia. The German scholar
Thomas Krzenck who helped edit these essays for publication has added a short afterword in which he provides the reader with an interesting and helpful overview of Šmahel as a medievalist, contemporary witness, and human being. The book concludes with indices of places and proper names.

Abstract European medievalists know that in the past caves, cut-rock enclosures, and catacombs could become churches, places of monastic retreat, burial sites, and loci of saintly power. Perhaps too commonly, however, we have little memory of caves and their medieval uses
inside Europe, recalling more easily the use of caves outside of Europe, for instance in Egypt or the Middle East, or on Europe’s periphery, as in Anatolia or the southern Iberian coast. One reason that so few examples come to mind of medieval Europeans putting caves to use has to do
with archeological priorities. As the editors of this volume assert in page one of their opening remarks “cave archeology has become synonymous with the Paleolithic” and “of all archeological periods, it could be argued that the medieval usage of caves has been the most overlooked.”
In this splendid collection of essays, twenty-four researchers, mostly archeologists but also historians, art historians, anthropologists and others, offer the successful beginnings of a remedy to the paucity of studies on the uses of caves and rock shelters in medieval Europe.

intensiv mit den individuellen Argumenten auseinandersetzen.
Entscheidungsfindung in spätmittelalterlichen Gemeinschaften, hrsg. von Wolfgang Eric Wagner. Kulturen des Entscheidens, 8. Göttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2022, 247 S., 2 farbige Abb.

Abstract Jeden Augenblick muss man sozusagen eine Entscheidung treffen. Dies bezieht sich sowohl auf das Privatleben als auch auf die soziale Existenz, denn Leben als Prozess gestaltet sich durch unablässige Entscheidungen, ganz gleich in welcher historischen Epoche
oder in welchen Kulturkreisen. Natürlich gibt es je nach Kontext riesige Unterschiede, denn oftmals übernehmen Autoritätsfiguren oder Eliten, Regierungen oder Parteifunktionäre diese Rolle, entmündigen also das Individuum, doch entlastet dies keineswegs dieses davon,
auf persönlicher Ebene Entschlüsse zu fassen, zu reagieren, das Leben zu gestalten. Wenn also eine Gruppe von Historikern danach fragt, wie in spätmittelalterlichen Gemeinschaften Entscheidungen getroffen wurden, wünschte man sich vorneweg erst einmal eine Klärung
der Motivation für diese Thematik. Der Herausgeber bezieht sich zwar in der Einleitung auf die jüngsten öffentlichen Debatten oder sogar Gerichtsprozesse bezogen auf die USA Präsidentschaftswahlen von 2020, aber dieser zeitgenössische Bezug wirkt beliebig und ist mithin
für einen Mediävisten doch etwas seltsam. Man kann nämlich mühelos jeglichen historischen Prozess oder jegliches Ereignis darauf hin überprüfen, nein muss man genau bestimmen, wer hierbei die Entscheidungen getroffen hatte und ob diese die richtigen oder die falschen
waren. Welche historische Untersuchung geht denn nicht von dieser ursächlichen Analyse aus? Selbst Sklaven oder Gefangene müssen auf äußere Bedingungen, Forderungen oder Befehle reagieren.
Natalie Jayne Goodison, Introducing the Medieval Swan. Medieval Animals. Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 2022, xv, 197, 18 b/w figures, 11 plates.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: August 2023

Abstract In the wake of increased interest in ecocritical aspects in the Middle Ages, animals have also attracted much more curiosity than before. Undoubtedly, the swan mattered deeply, both for heraldic and religious reasons. The swan was, so to speak, a royal bird, con­sumed
at particular feasts, displayed in public, and claimed as a symbolic animal for royal or princely houses. Until today, we talk about the ‘swansong’ or appreciate the swan as a graceful, noble fowl. Since the swan figured in so many different contexts throughout the Middle Ages,
it proves to be a valuable topic for a monographic treatment, here offered by Natalie Jayne Goodison (Durham University). She deserves considerable respect for her meticulous and expansive collections of references to philosophical, theological, literary, historical, and medical sources addressing
or dealing with the swan. In the course of her investigations, she draws mostly from English, French, and German sources from the entire Middle Ages, which is a bit more than we are used to by English medievalists, but still leaves out much of medieval Europe, whether we think of the Iberian
Peninsula, Italy, or Scandinavia (here with one exception, the Völundarkviða).

Abstract A long introduction opens with the juxtaposition of some sixty-two varied exemplifications of the medieval imagination/fantasy/otherness/monstrosity. The variety hints at the intent of the volume: to formulate a “foundation for theoretical reflection,”
i.e., theoretical relationships between medieval imaginations and fantasies and modern images and fantasies. That foundation, in turn, opens the final part of the introduc­tion, “Summaries of the Contributions with Further Reflections” (196). The twenty-one contributions following
(232‐788) firm up the foundation for theoretical reflection.
The Legend of Charlemagne: Envisioning Empire in the Middle Ages, ed. Jace Stuckey. Explorations in Medieval Culture, 15. Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2022, ix, 277 pp., 9 color ill.

Published: August 2023

Abstract The myth of Charlemagne never seems to exhaust itself; scholars, artists, writers, and others continuously return to this major figure, who has often been called, rightly or wrongly, the father of medieval Europe, and who continues to influence western political
ideologies. Many publications were dedicated to him around 2014 to commemorate his death in 814, and a whole group of scholars united in the “Bristol Charlemagne: A European Icon” project has published a series of focused studies on Charlemagne in English, Latin, French, German
and Dutch (by myself), and Spanish literature. Other languages relevant for Charlemagne studies will be Old Norse and Celtic, so this would seem to be pretty exhaustive (https://www.charlemagne-icon.ac.uk/). Jace Stuckey, the
editor of the present volume, refers to two of those publications, but ignores the rest, and seems to be rather dismissive about that project, and also does not take into account much of the relevant research in French, German, Dutch, etc. Nevertheless, Stuckey claims that this collection,
combining a wide range of disciplines in the medieval humanities, cuts across Europe and touches on a variety of topics, which would add considerably to the ongoing debate about this famous emperor.

Abstract This volume is a rich collection of essays studying medieval “cultures of queerness.” Bringing various scholars of Spanish, French, English, and Portuguese literatures together, the focus of this volume lies in the Spanish Mediterranean. Its goal is to
read their source material through the lens of possible “queer” structures. Since the umbrella term “queer” is a modern construct, the editors use theoretical frameworks to understand it as “other” and an “alternate” (2), and therefore “a
powerful tool for the analysis of sex, gender, and identity” (2‐3). Through this different theoretical prism of “queering” the sources, the essays in this volume aim to offer more nuanced interpretations of well-known literary texts, as few previous studies have attempted
(Queering the Middle Ages, ed. Glenn Burger and Steven F. Kruger, 2001; Queer Iberia: Sexualities, Cultures, and Crossings from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, ed. Josiah H. Blackmore and Gregory S. Hutcheson, 1999. The new book by Katherine Harvey, The Fires of Lust.
Sex in the Middle Ages, 2021, on the other hand interestingly does – though only focusing on Western Europe – not mention the term “queer” even once).

Abstract The title of this 3-vols. study promises a wealth of fascinating insight, or does it? For the present review, I had available only vol. 1, but the essential approach, methodology, and concept behind the entire work is clear enough to provide critical comments. The
pairing of faith and reason is already virtually an oxymoron, and it is rather doubtful whether they should be regarded as opposites. We can operate as rational, reasonable beings, and yet be faithful. So, the opposition of religion and science, for instance, seems to pursue the wrong goal,
and this already in antiquity and the Middle Ages. The subtitle is more informative, but I wonder about that as well because intolerance is basically synonymous with hatred and violence. What, hence, would be the purpose of this study since it focuses on one of the fundamental sources of all
history? To me, this sounds like addressing universal, human life in one mighty stroke; we as a species are, unfortunately, violent and tend to be intolerant. Would it not be much more relevant to investigate the history of tolerance, which has been the topic of a number of important studies
in recent year (see my own two books from 2018 and 2020, here not consulted).

Hagiographies: Histoire internationale de la littérature hagiographique latine et vernaculaire en Occident des origines à 1500, ed. M. Goullet, vol. 8. Brepols: Turnhout, 2020, 777 pp.
Authors: Bruce Scott G.
Published: August 2023

Abstract When the first volume of Hagiographies: Histoire internationale de la littérature hagiographique latine et vernaculaire en Occident des origines à 1500 appeared in 1994, it heralded an exciting new series that promised to present in eight volumes
the history of Latin and vernacular hagiography produced in Europe (including Scandinavia) between the fourth and the sixteenth centuries. The appearance of the eighth volume in the series in 2020 represents an important milestone in this ambitious enterprise, but it is not the end of the
story. It is clear that a ninth volume will be necessary to gather all the loose ends of a project that has, from the beginning, adopted an unorthodox ap­proach to the presentation of its findings. While the Hagiographies series boasts over one hundred articles in its eight volumes,
the contents of each book were published in the order in which they were received. This lends a bricolage character to each volume, in which studies of medieval hagiography at diverse times, in different locations, and in distinct linguistic traditions become unlikely neighbors due to the
serendipity of their submission dates. While this does nothing to diminish the value of individual articles, it does make the series as a whole somewhat unwieldy to use, as it often requires readers to switch between volumes to find studies relevant to a particular time or region.
