After a look at medieval terminology for different versions of the Bible, this book offers an overview of the transmission of the Latin Bible in the Middle Ages and its medieval editions. A survey of the cult of Jerome precedes an investigation of statements by textual critics about the status of the Vulgate and other versions of the Bible. The main body of the work is dedicated to the authors’ views of the textual tradition by examining their statements on the status of Hebrew, Greek and Latin manuscripts for the emendation of the Latin Bible. Finally, this study explores the struggle between consuetudo and veritas and the role of grammar in the emendation of the Latin Bible.

In the introduction to his main work, the Suffraganeus bibliothece, Maniacoria offers what are perhaps the most detailed medieval explanations for scribal errors in manuscripts. The main part of the text consists of brief comments on the canonical books of the Old Testament. His exegetical work distinguishes itself by two features. First, Maniacoria focuses on the literal sense and explains uncommon words. And secondly, the Suffraganeus bibliothece reflects his interest in the Hebrew Bible and Jewish exegesis. His most important Jewish sources are Rashi and Abraham ibn Ezra, whom he might have known personally. Furthermore, Maniacoria offers biblical variants that are not attested in the Latin tradition but that agree literally with the Hebrew. The Suffraganeus bibliothece thus constitutes an early example of twelfth-century Christian Hebraism.

Surviving only in a late medieval German translation, it contains select recipes and medical procedures. The study of this compilation offers new insight into two important aspects of Benvenutus's life: It provides a more precise dating for his activities, and clarifies at least one facet of his connection to the Levant. An analysis of Benvenutus's sources, most notably the Antidotarium Nicolai but also the Circa instans, confirms the assumption of previous scholars that he had studied at the Salernitan school of medicine. This article also shows that, at least in this particular case, practitioners trained within the Arabic medical tradition did not view Western medicine as a priori inferior.

A summary of his statements concerning the aims and purpose of his work is followed by an examination of his main Latin sources as well as his methods for explaining difficult words and passages in the Bible. The next section offers some observations on his knowledge of Hebrew and his use of Jewish exegesis. By means of textual evidence, it is shown that Maniacoria not only tried to learn Hebrew, but that he was in all likelihood in direct contact with Abraham ibn Ezra. Maniacoria’s exegetical focus on the literal sense is traced back to the influence of Hugh of St Victor and Abraham ibn Ezra.

This article is a first investigation into Crastonus’s methods. On the basis of Psalm 1 and some additional examples, it explores how he employed the layout and changed the Latin text in order to achieve his goal. Furthermore, this article argues that the combination of works produced by Crastonus and his publisher Bonus Accursius were designed to provide a complete corpus for self-instruction in Greek.

A one-day workshop on Medieval Germany will be held at the German Historical Institute, Bloomsbury Square, London, on Friday 5 May 2017. It will provide an opportunity for researchers in the field from the UK, continental Europe, and the USA to meet in a relaxed and friendly setting and to learn more about each other’s work. Proposals for short papers are invited from researchers at all career stages with an interest in any aspect of the history of medieval Germany (generously defined). Papers should be 10-15 minutes in length, and will be followed by discussion.
Contributors are encouraged to concentrate upon introducing current work in progress, focusing on research questions, approaches, and still-unresolved problems. Attendance is also warmly invited from anyone with an interest in medieval German history wishing to hear the papers and participate in the discussion. Further details of times and programme will be posted in due course.
The workshop is sponsored by the German History Society and the German Historical Institute London in cooperation with the GHI Washington. Participation is free, including lunch. However, participants will have to bear costs for travel and accommodation themselves.

This conference will focus exclusively on the Order of Preachers and seeks to examine attempts to introduce order in any area of Dominican life by means of rules and regulations. Among the questions this conference aims to explore are: What circumstances led to the introduction of new legislation and how was it enforced? Which (possibly unexpected) results, in turn, did new legislation bring about? What intellectual discussions preceded or followed from these processes? Papers might also examine definitions of obedience, individual cases of disobedience and consequences of breaking the rules.
This conference is interdisciplinary and open to scholars working in any field of medieval studies. Possible sources include legislative texts issued by the Order of Preachers, to intellectual debates within and outside the Order as well as regulations introduced by other institutions or secular and ecclesiastical rulers aimed specifically at the Dominicans.
The proceedings of the conference will be published.
The conference will be held at the German Historical Institute London on 6 to 8 March 2014. Standard travel costs and accommodation for the duration of the conference will be covered.
Please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words and a CV by Saturday, 31 August 2013.
All enquiries and proposals should be sent to Cornelia Linde: [email protected] "
