Medieval Paradigms Volume I Essays in Honor of Jeremy duQuesnay Adams [Hardcover]

This collection of essays in two volumes explores patterns of medieval society and culture, spanning from the close of the late antique period to the beginnings of the Renaissance. In the first volume, the articles unravel the complexities of authority and community, and then turn to the multiple rubrics of behavior which bound and defined medieval societies. Volume 1 thus ends with a discussion of morality, from models of civic virtue (and vice) to Christian prescriptions and prohibitions.Foreword Introduction Illustrations Abbreviations I: PARADIGMS OF AUTHORITY Abelard and Theology; M.L.Colish The 'People' in the Psalter of Saint Louis and the Leadership of Moses; W.C.Jordan Beware of Universities; A.Murray Negotiating Poetry at Court; D.Price II: PARADIGMS OF COMMUNITY Paulinus of Nola and the Poetry of Wealth; P.Brown Widows and Noble Remarriage in Eleventh and Twelfth-Century Montpellier; E.Haluska-Rausch Propaganda and Toulousan Identity through the Albigensian Crusade; C.K.Gardner Fighting Words and Wounded Honor in Late Fourteenth-Century France; P.Johnson Cypriot Funerary Icons; A.Weyl Carr III: PARADIGMS OF MORALITY Ivo of Chartres and the Presbyter of OrlTans; B.C.Brasington Rhetorical Stimulus in the Prick of Conscience ; H.Chickering Alberto Alfieri's Ogdoas; E.A.Matter 'Know Thyself' and Christian Art: The Dispute between William Tyndale and Thomas More; K.F.Morrison
