Eric Weiskott, Meter and Modernity in English Verse, 1350-1650. Philadelphia, PA: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2021, xviii, 297 pp.
Authors: Oberlin Adam
Published: April 2022

Abstract: Meter and Modernity both builds upon Eric Weiskott’s work in his 2016 monograph English Alliterative Verse: Poetic Tradition and Literary History (Cambridge University Press) and expands the focus from the metrical history of literature across
alleged periods, in this case the early and high Middle Ages, to a historiographical approach centered on literary form as a parallel marker of time alongside, within, and across literary, sociocultural, regnal, and event-driven periodization. Weiskott proceeds from the observation that the
boundaries of modernity impose restrictions not only on the literary-historical understanding of texts and genres, but also on scholars and the exigencies of our fields themselves in an age of increasing contingency and justification. While critiques of periodization are numerous and varied,
the relatively recent growth of a type of apologetics in Medieval Studies vis-à-vis the extremes of an overreliance or complete rejection of difference from modernity that simultaneously seeks to recapture premodern generic and formal readings obfuscated by modern lenses is most welcome.

Words and Deeds: Shaping Urban Politics from Below in Late Medieval Europe, ed. Ben Eersels and Jelle Haemers. Studies in European Urban History, 48. Turnhout: Brepols, 2020, 224 pp.
Authors: Sizer Michael
Published: April 2022

Abstract: This volume of essays continues the welcome trend in recent years to uncover the crucial role that popular politics played in late medieval societies. This scholarship has convincingly shown that non-elites were frequently engaged in peaceful efforts to participate
in government and power relations, and not just in violent and extra-legal activities such as revolt. The volume covers urban communities, largely due to available sources and a focus on institutions such as assemblies and councils, and includes Southern France, Spain, the Low Countries, Germany,
Sweden, and England. This expands the geographic range of the argument that non-elites were central players in political action, showing it was pervasive in urban areas throughout Western Europe and also highlights the variety of forms popular politics could take. This scholarship has been
excellent in properly placing popular politics – and not just periodic revolts – at the center of the consideration of larger political history of the late Middle Ages, and with this volume of essays this story expands in its detail and specificity. Editors Ben Eersels and Jelle
Haemers have been at the forefront of this recent trend in scholarship, and have chosen a series of essays for this volume that are remarkably consistent in quality.

Anyone who wants to embark on the study of medieval history can be safely advised to consult this excellent, already revised and updated introduction by John H. Arnold. Here, a true expert is addressing many of the crucial issues that determine our approach to history at large and medieval
history in particular. The introductory section might be a little confusing, though, addressing a unique case of torture in the early fourteenth century, but soon, we find ourselves in a wide-ranging discussion on what the Middle Ages actually meant, how it gained a hermeneutic identity, and
how we should approach it today in a critical, academic fashion.

Published: April 2022

Recent research has increasingly focused on the phenomenon of hybridity between animals and humans, with monsters situated somewhere in-between. Hence the title of this volume, in which the contributors examine medieval and early modern cases of animal-human interactions, though transhumanity,
or transhumanity, as defined by the editor, J. Eugene Clay, Professor of Religious Studies at Arizona State University, who works primarily on religious movements in Russia and Eurasia, represents more a desire for or anticipation of the transition of humanity into a combination with computers
or robots, which has not much to do at all with the issues addressed here. Instead, the focus rests on how animals were viewed in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and on how somewhat monstrous creatures were assessed (there are no monster-focused articles here). As fascinating as the new
approach determined by Animal Studies might be, this is not really the emphasis by the contributors, not even to talk about “Posthumanism” (ix-xi), which has no relevance in this volume. But it makes sense, as Clay outlines, to consider the biblical and classical heritage to understand
how medieval and early modern writers regarded animals in their interaction with people, who commonly identified themselves, as Eriugena already defined them, as non-animals (xvii). And yet, the borderline to beasts was thin, as the various examples discussed by the individual authors occasionally
indicate.

This study stems from an exhibition/ conference of the same name, “Beyond Words,” presented in Boston in 2006; however, it goes well beyond the bounds of a conventional exhibition catalog, which was produced at the time to accompany the objects on display. The volume produced
here expands these initial parameters to consider additional questions about the manuscripts held in these Boston collections, notably Houghton Library at Harvard University, McMullen Museum of Art at Boston College, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum of Boston. The book is divided into
four major sections, devoted respectively to monastic manuscripts (3 essays), courtly culture and patronage (5 essays), princes, patricians, prelates and pontiffs (4 essays), and illuminating history (3 essays) with a coda on manuscripts in the modern era provided by the final essay. As the
editors remark in their introduction, the emphasis is Christian and central European; this is due in part to the collection parameters themselves (the above institutions have no Ethiopian or Hebrew manuscripts, for example) and in part by limitations of time and focus (there are a number of
Islamic manuscripts in the Boston collections which have not been included here but would be well worth exploring in a separate study of their own). The richness and depth of the sixteen essays here offer insights into many aspects of the late medieval world. The chapter by Patricia Stirnemann
on Gilbert de la Porrée traces book collection of the works of a single, theologically problematic author, and offers a valuable case study on the transmission of writings by a scholar charged (though exonerated) with heresy. Brigitte Miriam Bedos-Rezak demonstrates how the charters
of the abbey of Sawley preserved in the Houghton library allow us to consider the “medial role” of document writing, and how this practice assisted an English Cistercian monastery to shape its own representation with its neighbors by crafting records of land ownership disputes.
Kathryn M. Rudy examines manuscript workshops among nuns in Delft in the fifteenth century, providing a vivid model of book production practices in these devotional contexts.
Cristian Bratu, « Je, auteur de ce livre »: L’affirmation de soi chez les historiens, de l’Antiquité à la fin du Moyen Âge, Leiden et Boston: Brill, 2019; 830 p.
Authors: Ribémont Bernard
Published: April 2022

Voici un fort volume, qui correspond à l’ampleur d’une gageure, a priori difficile à tenir: faire l’histoire, depuis l’Antiquité jusqu’à la fin du Moyen Âge de ce qui relève de facto du statut de l’écrivain,
alors que bien des travaux sont déjà parus, pour le Moyen Âge, sur les auteurs chez qui l’affirmation du je se fait de plus en plus importante, surtout donc pour la littérature française après Guillaume de Machaut et à partir d’une
époque qui voit le développement de la littérature didactique et de la prise de parole politique des auteurs. On pense en particulier aux nombreuses études sur l’affirmation d’autorité de Christine de Pizan, à laquelle CB consacre 22 pages
et montre une bonne connaissance de la bibliographie christinienne sur le sujet et les thèmes connexes, même si l’on peut relever quelques manques, que je ne mentionne pas, car cette bibliographie est si abondante et parfois répétitive que l’on ne saurait
reprocher à quiconque de n’avoir pas tout consulté. Tant que j’en suis à Christine, je soulignerai au passage une petite naïveté de CB qui note, p. 656, la « grande modestie » de Christine. S’il est une qualité qu’elle
n’a pas, c’est bien la modestie et il ne faut pas confondre sa pratique coutumière de la captatio benevolentiae (au demeurant bien analysée à propos d’Eginhard, p. 156) avec de la modestie. Cette ‘naïveté’ met cependant
l’accent sur un défaut majeur de l’ensemble de l’ouvrage: l’auteur en effet s’est trop souvent laissé aller à la description et à des digressions qui n’apportent rien au sujet traité; par exemple la description d’œuvres
de Christine, comme l’Epistre Othea ou le Chemin sont résumées, des remarques bien connues sur Dante et Christine, etc.
David J. Collins, S.J. (ed.), The Sacred and the Sinister: Studies in Medieval Religion and Magic. University Park, PA: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2019, 304 p., 6 b/w ill.
Authors: Lynch Sarah B.
Published: April 2022

This wide-ranging collection of essays was inspired by the work of Richard Kieckhefer, best known for his research on medieval magic, but it serves as a festschrift celebrating his contributions to the field and reflecting his varied scholarly interests. Kieckhefer’s broad engagement
in many aspects of the Middle Ages and the effort of the editor, David J. Collins, to express properly that diversity has resulted in an intriguing selection. In order to give coherence to this volume, Collins and the contributors elected to focus on Kieckhefer’s concern with duality
(holy and unholy, magic and science, vision and possession et cetera) and his conclusion that these “oppositions” are simply two sides of the same coin. This tension and its resolution create an effective tread knitting these somewhat disparate chapters into a cohesive collection.
Dyan Elliott, The Corrupter of Boys: Sodomy, Scandal, and the Medieval Clergy. The Middle Ages Series. Philadelphia, PA: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2020, 378 p.
Authors: Walter Katherine Clark
Published: April 2022

A perpetual problem in church history is ecclesiastics setting the bar too high for human success: compulsory celibacy, sought because Church leaders believed it preserved priests’ purity and status, inevitably led to problems that threatened both sacerdotal purity and clerical
prestige. In The Corrupter of Boys, Dyan argues that clerical discipline settled on openly punishing clerics’ transgressions with women rather than correcting the “unnamable vice” of sodomy among men and boys. The relegation of sodomy to the realm of the unmentionable
had the additional consequence that clerics repeatedly failed to address the structural inequities in the cloister and priesthood that made boys and adolescents open to abuse and exploitation.
Falconry in the Mediterranean Context During the Pre-Modern Era, ed. Charles Burnett and Baudouin Van den Abele. Bibliotheca Cynegetica, 9. Geneva: Droz, 2021, 352, 17 color and 14 b/w ill.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2022

Curiously, while many historians are looking for new ways of identifying medieval globalism, focusing on trade, slavery, medicine, political contacts, and travel, the international interest in falconry during the pre-modern period has not yet attracted the same interest, at least in
that context. However, hunting with falcons and other birds of prey has always been one of the major pleasure activities for the nobility both in the Middle East and in Europe. In fact, that sport probably originated from Persia, if not India or Mongolia, and became, very similar to playing
chess, one of the central cultural modalities for the aristocracy to seek entertainment and to represent their own social class in a most impressive fashion. Falconry was the type of hunting exclusively for kings and other rulers, which explains why the trade of various types of falcons from
northern Europe – especially the gyrfalcon – to the far south and east, even to the Arabic world (Mamluk Egypt), was quite common. The high cost for those precious birds of prey did not matter in those social circles. Falconry has already been studied numerous times, especially
with regard to the famous book on the art of hunting with birds by Emperor Frederick II, and to the many references to falcons in medieval literature. The global perspective, however, has not yet been taken into consideration carefully enough.

When a major library and museum such as The Morgan organizes an exhibition of some of its finest medieval manuscripts, and when a famous art historian such as Jeffrey F. Hamburger, together with the assistant curator of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts at the Morgen, Joshua O’Driscoll,
authors the catalog accompanying the exhibit, we can be certain to receive a most bibliophile and at the same time scholarly erudite publication. This is certainly the case with Imperial Splendor. The purpose is to bring to light some of the most impressive manuscripts produced in the
Holy Roman Empire between 800 and 1500, i.e., throughout the entire Middle Ages. The examples brought together come not only from the Morgan, but also from many other major North American collections.

Authors: Oberlin Adam
Published: April 2022

Following two previous volumes on peasants’ relationship to land control, governmental structures, and self-determination resulting from an international project funded by the Norwegian Research Council (2004‐2007), this collection of essays poses a challenge to once prevalent
historiographical interpretations of a supposed Scandinavian – and particularly Norwegian – condition, in which agricultural laborers in the northern periphery purportedly enjoyed greater degrees of land ownership, control of resources, and political capital within the local milieu
than their contemporaries to the South. To that end, the editors have developed a geographical, more narrowly a topographical and environmental, framework for a comparison between Norway and the West Norse areas of settlement (with a smaller role played by Denmark and Sweden when possible),
on the one hand, and the Eastern Alpine region (primarily Tyrol and Switzerland with additional counterexamples in Lower Austria, southern Germany, and elsewhere in Central Europe), on the other. After an introductory chapter outlining the historiographical background and scope of the project,
the first part spans three chapters on comparative local examinations of slavery and degrees of freedom, types of land ownership and control, and forms of local political participation, followed by a conclusion; the second offers four chapters on the national historiographical traditions challenged
by the comparative studies in the first part and subsequently revised on a local basis here, namely in Norway, Tyrol, various regions of Germany, and Switzerland. (On an organizational note, the table of contents lists four ‘parts,’ the first of which contains only the introduction,
while the fourth comprises what are strangely labelled appendices.)

Die Minnesang-Forschung kennt schon lange das hier angeschnittene Problem, die Kohärenz der Textcorpora. Weil die großen Liederhandschrift oftmals doch recht platzsparend gestaltet waren, weil mittelalterliche Schreiber oftmals von einem horror vacui erfüllt waren
oder notgedrungen die erwarteten Texte auf ihren Pergamentseiten unterbringen mussten, oder weil die Textüberlieferung schon damals unsicher gewesen war, ergeben sich für uns heute viele schwierige Probleme, wie sie u.a. von den Strophen des Kürenbergers gut gespiegelt werden.

Ken Mondschein, On Time: A History of Western Timekeeping. Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2020, xiii, 240 pp., 20 b/w ill.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2022

Considering the very nature of historical studies, there is no more appropriate topic for an historian but time itself, which Ken Mondschein pursues in this pleasant, easy to read study, On Time, taking us from antiquity to the present. He manages successfully to combine a broad
overview of the “History of western timekeeping” with philosophical reflections about time, tracing the development of the relevant steps in the ongoing efforts to develop better systems, but formulating his observations in a fairly straightforward manner, mostly unencumbered by
the usual scholarly apparatus. Those interested in the sources which he consulted, can find them in compressed notes and a list of suggested readings at the end. These two sets of data are not easy to navigate, but since most targeted readers will probably just enjoy the narrative about timekeeping,
such scholarly concerns won’t matter much.

The scholarly practices which historians learn in graduate school become second nature to us, so that we forget that members of the general public (or for that matter, members of other scholarly disciplines) do not necessarily share our assumptions. We confront this most often when
we teach students, as we struggle to convey to them the process of historical thinking. Accordingly I am most grateful to Leah Shopkow for providing students with a clear, concise account of how historians parse primary sources.
Der Teufel und seine poietische Macht in literarischen Texten vom Mittelalter zur Moderne. Hrsg. von Jutta Eming und Daniela Fuhrmann. Berlin und Boston: Walter de Gruyter, 2021, VIII, 213 S., 7 farbige Abb.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2022

‘[Zum] Teufel noch mal’ war bis vor kurzem noch ein ziemlich gängiger Ausdruck für persönlichen Ärger, und dieser ‘böse’ Geist schwirrt weiterhin in der modernen Sprache herum, so als ob er sich niemals ganz hat bannen lassen wollen,
hat er ja stets ‘seine Finger im Spiel’. Seit dem frühen Mittelalter tritt der Teufel in verschiedensten literarischen, religiösen und künstlerischen Kontexten auf und hat eigentlich niemals seinen Einfluss auf die menschliche Fantasie verloren. Er ist die Nemesis
von Christus, somit eigentlich gar nicht wegzudenken, was die gesamte christliche Religion betrifft. Allerdings manifestiert sich der Teufel im Laufe der Zeit doch immer wieder in anderer Gestalt, sei es, dass er bedrohlich und gefährlich wirkt, sei es, dass er wie eine lächerliche
Figur erscheint. Auf jeden Fall lohnt es sich, wie die Forschung immer wieder bestätigt hat, sich mit dem Teufel auseinanderzusetzen, denn seine Erscheinungsweise spiegelt zutiefst mentale Strukturen und prägt die jeweils dominante Imagologie.

Eric J. Goldberg, In the Manner of the Franks: Hunting, Kingship, and Masculinity in Early Medieval Europe. The Middle Ages Series. Philadelphia, PA: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2020, 338 pp.
Authors: Bruce Scott G.
Published: April 2022

In this book, Eric Goldberg examines the hunting of animals in the Carolingian period as an expression of early medieval masculinity, as a feature of premodern political culture, and as a window onto one of the many ways that the Frankish people interacted with the natural world. Drawing
evidence from a wide range of literary sources from chronicles to saints’ lives, and a host of documentary evidence like laws and administrative records, with occasional nods to art historical and archaeological testimony, Goldberg presents his study over the course of eight chapters.
Some of these chapters proceed chronologically, while others treat particular topics with an emphasis on evidence from the eighth and ninth centuries. Taken together, this monograph presents a convincing mosaic of the centrality of hunting in the social and cultural worlds of Carolingian elites.

Authors: Galle Christoph
Published: April 2022

Die von Andreas Mehdorn vorgelegte Studie geht auf eine von Theo Kölzer betreute Dissertation zurück, die im Wintersemester 2019/20 an der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Bonn angenommen wurde. Für den Druck wurde sie geringfügig überarbeitet
und stellt – so viel sei vorweggenommen – für die Forschung einen großen Gewinn dar. Schließlich hat sich der Verfasser der mühevollen Aufgabe unterzogen, die tatsächlichen, vor Ort tätigen Akteure der Glaubensverkündigung zwischen der Mitte
des 8. und der Mitte des 9. Jahrhunderts in den Fokus zu nehmen. Für seine Studie hat er damit einen neuen und überaus gewinnbringenden Ansatz gewählt. Denn während die ältere Forschung von einer planmäßigen Missionierung in Form einer keineswegs zufälligen,
sondern bewusst geschaffenen Diözesanstruktur ausgegangen ist, in der die Bischofssitze zugleich als Zentren und Ausgangspunkte der Mission dienten, hat sich der Vf. von dieser retrospektiven Bewertung nicht beeindrucken lassen. Für ihn stehen die handelnden Akteure im Zentrum, die
,,als Schlüsselfiguren der Bekehrung wie auch der herrschaftlich-kulturellen Integration des eroberten Gebietes in das Frankenreich“ (4) betrachtet werden.

Apparat abgestützt werden. Entscheidend sind die Handschriften, die die hier zu dokumentierende ,Geschichte‘ des Klosters von der Neugründung durch Otmar im 9. Jahrhundert bis zum 11. begleiten. Wenngleich die These etwas kühn sein mag, wollen wir doch gerne zustimmen,
dass die “Geburt Europas” eng mit dem “Geist des Klosters” (13) verbunden war, wenn wir jedenfalls an die geistesgeschichtliche und theologische Entwicklung denken.

Abstract: As we have realized already for quite some time, the medieval ruler was often the object of harsh criticism, and the role of the king was not at all uncontested during the Middle Ages. Even though the mythical figure of King Arthur seems to be exempt from any particular
criticism, most chronicle and romance author voiced rather critical opinions regarding their respective rulers. Thus, there is a good number of surprisingly weak and incompetent kings in a variety of literary genres (cf. Albrecht Classen, “The Cry-Baby Kings in Courtly Romances: What
is Wrong with Medieval Kingship?,” Studi Medievali 3a Serie, XXXIX.2 [1998]: 833-63; here not consulted). In many didactic texts, especially in those pertaining to the genre of example literature (wisdom literature), we can detect an entire discourse on the king, viewed both negatively
and positively, depending on his character, intellectual acumen, leadership qualities, etc. This topic was discussed more in depth at a workshop in Bonn from Nov. 29 to 30, 2018, and the current volume contains the papers presented there.

Abstract: Marisa Galvez’s The Subject of Crusade offers an original premise, that talking about crusading created a new “idiom” which allowed speakers to explore many ideas beyond simply conquering lands for the benefit of Christendom. She invites
readers to consider not only the theme of crusade addressed in specific medieval works, but also contemporary compositions, proposed but not explored in the conclusion (254–55). As Galvez explains, her work “concerns a certain version of speaking crusades, in which courtly art
forms such as lyric, romance, and material objects such as tapestries and textiles manifest ambivalence about crusade ideals” (2), a departure from a more traditional approach that does not consider ambivalence at all. She claims that “poetic figures do the work of accommodation
and assimilation” and that “literary texts permit competing ideals to be maintained adjacently, thereby producing ... a courtly crusade idiom whose movement ... we can track through various constellations of genres, manuscripts, and objects” (her italics, 2).
Huon of Bordeaux: First Modern English Translation by Catherine M. Jones and William W. Kibler. Medieval & Renaissance Text Series. New York and Bristol: Italica Press, 2021, xxiii, 329 pp.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2022

Abstract: William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1595 or 1596) was based to some extent on the English translation of the Old French Huon of Bordeaux by John Bourchier, 2nd Baron Berners (1467–19 March 1533) from 1513 (not 1533, as
Jones and Kibler state, xxi). Already before Shakespeare, a play with the title Hewen of Burdocize had been performed in 1593. A Middle Dutch translation had also made this text available to the non-French audience. Huon continued to be highly popular throughout the following
centuries, apart from Shakespeare’s play, if we think, for instance, of Christoph Martin Wieland’s epic poem Oberon of 1780 or Goethe’s Faust I (1808). André Norton produced a free translation in 1951. After all, the text deals with the king of the fairies,
with numerous secrets, magic, heroic adventures, a love affair with a Muslim princess who later converts to Christianity (of course), the conflict between Christians and Saracens, and criminal charges against the young protagonist and thus his conflict with Charlemagne.
Unvoiced and Voiced Speech Segmentation Based on the Dimension of Signal Local Linear Manifold

Published: April 2022

A new method of unvoiced and voiced speech segmentation is proposed from the perspective of local linear manifold analysis of speech signal. It is based on the estimation of the dimension of short-time linear subspace. The subspace dimensional characteristics of the single phoneme signal is studied. The local signal vector set is analyzed by using PCA algorithm to estimate the dimension of the data matrix formed by framing. The local PCA is used to analyze the speech signal to achieve the segmentation of unvoiced and voiced pronunciation. Simulation experiments prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Dzukija as an ethnographic region of Lithuania: construction, stereotypes, identity markers
Authors: Vnukovich Yury
Published: April 2022

The article examines Lithuania’s ethnographic region of Dzūkija, which is geographically, historically, linguistically and culturally closest to the neighboring Slavic territories, and whose conceptualization and recognition occurred only quite recently.
The scientific novelty of the research lies in the interpretation of an ethnographic region primarily as a symbolic construct designed to connect and unite people using linguistic and cultural markers of their regional identity.
As a result of the study, the key principles of identifying the ethnographic region of Dzūkija, based on both external (“objective”) and internal (“subjective”) distinctive features, have been characterized. The decisive role in the construction of the identity of the Dzūkian was played by the characteristic feature of their dialect —“dzūkavimas”, which is the basis of their nomination and stereotyping. The declared markers of the distinctiveness of the Dzūkian also include the “archaic” elements of traditional culture ascribed to them, which in our time chiefly manifest themselves in discourse rather than real life.

Perceived stress is the thoughts or feelings one has about their level of experienced stress. Theonset of fatigue and perceived stress could be detrimental to the cognitive functioning and ability.Visual reaction time indicates the sensory motor coordination and critical flicker fusion frequencyindicates detrimental to the cognitive functioning and ability. In this study the levels of perceivedstress and their effect on visual reaction time and critical fusion frequency is measured.Methods: A total of 75 apparently healthy students in the age group of 18-40 years students wereincluded in the study. The perceived stress scores were measured using the questionnaire andparticipants were divided into mild (group I) and moderate stress group (group II). The visualreaction time recording was done using different color like red, green, blue, yellow, purple andaqua. Critical flicker fusion frequency was also measured.Results: The average visual reaction time for red, green and blue was less when compared topurple, yellow and aqua. The mean reaction time for red color in mild stress group I (392 ± 44msec) was more when compared to group II (379 ± 40 msec). similar findings were found inall other colors except purple were mean reaction time same in both the group. There was nodifference in the CFFF between the groups.Conclusion: It found that sensory coordination in the mild stress group was diminished whencompared to participants in moderate stress group. There are no changes in cognitive ability (CFFF) between the groups.
