During the past forty years J.C.M. van Winden OFM, Emeritus Professor of Early Christian Literature at Leiden University and editor of Vigiliae Christianae, has built up an impressive body of published research on early Christian thought and related areas of Greek and Jewish philosophy. In this volume in honour of his 75th birthday his more important contributions, originally published in a wide range of journals and other publications, have been collected together. These are grouped together in five categories: The archè in early christian thought, Essays on the Church Fathers, Philonica, Plotiniana, Essays on the relation between Greek and Patristic Thought. The volume includes a hitherto unpublished survey article on early Christian exegesis of 'the beginning' in Gen. 1:1 (in German), English translations of five contributions originally published in Dutch, and a complete bibliography of Pater van Winden's scholarly work.

The French Balades

The French Balades
Author: John Gower
Publisher: Medieval Institute Publications
Total Pages: 198
Release: 2011-05-01
Genre: Literary Criticism
ISBN: 1580444520

Gower's imaginative French poetry is now available in a new edition with facing page translation, annotations, and introduction. Gower's Traitie employs the French poetic form of balade, typically used for courtly verses, to avow instead the virtues of loving marriage, characteristic of Gower's signature moralizing. His Cinkante Balades confront the tradition of the French Livre de Cent Balades, by describing the feelings of a young man towards his lady, but eventually offering a praise of love insofar as it is subject to reason and morality. Together the two works offer an excellent introduction to the Anglo-Norman works of Gower and are perfect for classroom use.

This is a new critical edition of the legal treatise by John of Ibelin, count of Jaffa and Ascalon (died 1266). John was a leading magnate in the Latin East, and his first-hand experience of the courts meant that he was well-placed to write authoritatively on his subject. His work is in French and describes in detail the procedures of the High Court of the kingdom of Jerusalem, and the law as administered there. The treatise has long been recognized as being of fundamental importance for the legal, institutional and social history of the Latin settlements in the Levant, and this is the first edition to take into account all the surviving medieval manuscripts and the first to be published since 1841.

"Comment Dieu Voit le Monde" est un message de paix sur la terre, une invitation aux chrétiens et au monde à devenir pacifi que et doux comme les anges, une invitation à l'humanité à devenir compatissante et solidaire pour combattre la pollution et le réchauffement de la terre. "Comment Dieu Voit le Monde", c'est la Bible, la philosophie occidentale, les mathématiques, la littérature, la science, la vie. Le livre est unique et révolutionnaire dans l'histoire de l'humanité parce que l'auteur utilize le raisonnement mathématique pour prouver les vérités en religion, en philosophie, et sur la vie. L'auteur est un défenseur de la civilisation de la renaissance et de la croissance zéro comme le recommandait le Club de Rome dans le livre intitulé "Halte à la croissance". L'auteur explique les mystères de Satan et du péché original en utilisant le personnalisme, la phénoménologie, l'existentialisme, et les mathématiques. Les mathématiques sont la logique et l'art de raisonner. L'auteur démontre mathématiquement et bibliquement qu'un chrétien est un saint, un philosophe, et un communiste. C'est-à-dire que l'humanité doit devenir communiste pour espérer résoudre les problèmes de la pollution, du chômage, de la violence, de la pauvreté, de la santé, des guerres etc. C'est-à-dire que l'humanité doit devenir communiste si elle veut survivre.
