The successive sets of Studia Patristica contain papers delivered at the International Conferences on Patristic Studies, which meet for a week once every four years in Oxford. These papers range over the whole field, both East and West, from the second century to a section on the Nachleben of the Fathers. The majority are short papers dealing with some small and manageable point; they raise and sometimes resolve questions about the authenticity of documents, dates of events, and such like, and some unveil new texts. The longer papers put such matters into context and indicate wider trends. The whole reflects the state of Patristic scholarship and demonstrates the vigour and popularity of the subject.

For students of Middle English, Andrew and Waldron’s The Poems of the Pearl Manuscript has been the key edition of the four Pearl poems for over thirty years. With the changing needs of today's students in mind, the editors produced a complete prose translation of the four poems - the best known of which is Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The near-literal translations are intended to facilitate understanding of the four poems - to lead readers to, rather than away from, the original texts. The translations are based faithfully on Andrew and Waldron’s fifth edition of The Poems of the Pearl Manuscript.

Se limiter, comme l'a fait B. Halflants, en presence d'une edition critique deja realisee avec beaucoup de soin, a l'etude approfondie du moyen arabe d'un seul manuscrit arabe essentiel des Mille et Une Nuits, comme celui dit A" de Galland A", permet non seulement de mettre en evidence un grand nombre de traits communs au moyen arabe des juifs, des chretiens et des musulmans, mais aussi de traits propres au moyen arabe des Mille et Une Nuits. Nul doute que cette approche fructueuse sera appliquee a l'avenir a d'autres textes de moyen arabe et qu'elle permettra d'offrir aux arabisants un corpus de textes aussi etendu pour le moyen arabe des musulmans que pour celui des juifs et des chretiens.

In Jerusalem of the early second century, a Jewish teacher, later widely, and simply, known as Ben Sira, wrote, in contemporary Hebrew, a collection of proverbs designed to advise his co-religionists how to express and maintain their Jewishness and values in the face of a dominant Hellenistic culture. His proverbs were later translated into Greek by his grandson. Because the early Church, but not Rabbinic Judaism, included the book in its scriptural canon, the original Hebrew gradually gave way to the Greek, Latin and Syriac versions and was virtually lost in the late medieval and early modern periods. The late nineteenth-century discoveries from the Cairo Genizah restored Hebrew versions of much of the book. Academic use of Ben Sira’s work is now greatly facilitated by this scientific polyglot of all four versions, originally planned and initiated by Friedrich V. Reiterer at the University of Salzburg, and now brought to fruition by the painstaking scholarly efforts of Renate Egger-Wenzel, who has also provided a text edition of the Hebrew manuscripts and a guide to the project and to the volume.

‘Savaş’ prose is an X-ray – an acute portrait of the tender frequencies that make a life.’ Raven Leilani, author of Luster Asya and Manu are looking at apartments, envisioning their future in a foreign city. Removed from the web of family and its obligations, what traditions and rituals should they establish together? As they dream about the possibilities of each new listing, Asya, a documentary filmmaker, spends her days gathering footage from the neighbourhood park like an anthropologist observing local customs, anxious to know how people really live. ‘Forget about daily life,’ chides her grandmother on the phone, ‘no one cares about that.’ Meanwhile, life back in Asya and Manu's respective home countries continues – parents age, grandparents get sick, nieces and nephews grow up – all just slightly beyond their reach. But the world they're making in their new cit

La mítica biblioteca andalusí de Tombuctú, creada por el sabio Mahmud Kati se presentó ante el mundo cuando el siglo XX tocaba su fin, después de siglos de permanecer en el seno de la familia Kati, descendientes de Alí ben Ziyad, un andalusí exiliado en el siglo XV. Esta importantísima colección de antiguos manuscritos era conocida a través de referencias bibliográficas e históricas, aunque la práctica totalidad de los especialistas internacionales descartaba su existencia, dado que fue dispersada y ocultada en el siglo XIX para protegerla de los expolios de los peules y los colonizadores franceses. El Fondo Kati de Tombuctú maravilló a la opinión pública gracias a la odisea histórica que había protagonizado durante más de quinientos años, y sobre todo, por el enorme potencial de fuente histórica inédita que suponen sus más de tres mil documentos. Hoy presentamos, como exclusiva mundial, la primera traducción de un manuscrito del Fondo Kati de Tombuctú. La Rihla de Abana narra la perip

De preek is een van de belangrijke genres van de Middelnederlandse geestelijke literatuur, naast de mystieke literatuur, het heiligenleven, het gebed en de bijbelvertaling. De preek is ook een prominente historische bron, doordat zij bij uitstek een middel was om religieuze, morele en culturele normen, waarden en attitudes te verbreiden. Overgeleverde preken zijn daarom niet alleen waardevol voor kerk- en literatuurgeschiedenis, maar ook voor de cultuurgeschiedenis in het algemeen, de ideeen- en mentaliteitsgeschiedenis. De studie van de Middelnederlandse preek is sterk achtergebleven bij het historisch belang ervan. Dit komt ondermeer doordat vooralsnog een goed overzicht van de bewaarde preken ontbrak. Het Repertorium van Middelnederlandse preken, voortgekomen uit het VNC-project 'Middelnederlandse preken' (Vrije Universiteit van Amsterdam en Universiteit Antwerpen - UFSIA) wil deze leemte opvullen. De delen IV, V en VI geven samen met de reeds in 2003 gepubliceerde delen I en II een nagenoeg volledig overzicht van alle Middelnederlandse preken bewaard in handschriften tot 1550 in alle Nederlandse en Belgische collecties, alsmede in alle ons bekende bewaarplaatsen in Europa en de Verenigde Staten. Deel VII bevat de indexen op deze vijf repertoriumdelen en vervangt daarmee het in 2003 gepubliceerde deel III. Het geheel vormt een compleet en onmisbaar instrument voor iedereen die zich bezighoudt met dit deel van de geestelijke volkstalige literatuur van de middeleeuwen.

A gathering of poetic blossoms.The Greek Anthology (literally, “Gathering of Flowers”) is the name given to a collection of about 4500 short Greek poems (called epigrams but usually not epigrammatic) by about 300 composers. To the collection (called Stephanus, literally, “wreath” or “garland”) made and contributed to by Meleager of Gadara (1st century BC) was added another by Philippus of Thessalonica (late 1st century AD), a third by Diogenianus (2nd century), and much later a fourth, called the Circle, by Agathias of Myrina. These (lost) and others (also lost) were partly incorporated, arranged according to contents, by Constantinus Cephalas (early 10th century?) into fifteen books now preserved in a single manuscript of the Palatine Library at Heidelberg. The grand collection was rearranged and revised by the monk Maximus Planudes (14th century) who also added epigrams lost from Cephalas’ compilation.The fifteen books of the Palatine Anthology are: I, Christian Epigrams; II, Descriptions of Statues; III, Inscriptions in a temple at Cyzicus; IV, Prefaces of Meleager, Philippus, and Agathias; V, Amatory Epigrams; VI, Dedicatory; VII, Sepulchral; VIII, Epigrams of St. Gregory; IX, Declamatory; X, Hortatory and Admonitory; XI, Convivial and Satirical; XII, Strato’s “Musa Puerilis”; XIII, Metrical curiosities; XIV, Problems, Riddles, and Oracles; XV, Miscellanies. Book XVI is the Planudean Appendix: Epigrams on works of art.Outstanding among the poets are Meleager, Antipater of Sidon, Crinagoras, Palladas, Agathias, Paulus Silentiarius.
