the so-called 'canon tables' of the christian gospels are an absolutely remarkable feature of the early, late antique, and medieval christian manuscript cultures of east and west, the invention of which is commonly attributed to eusebius and dated to first decades of the fourth century ad. intended to host a technical device for structuring, organizing, and navigating the four gospels united in a single codex - and, in doing so, building upon and bringing to completion previous endeavours - the canon tables were apparently from the beginning a highly complex combination of text, numbers and images, that became an integral and fixed part of all the manuscripts containing the four gospels as sacred scripture of the christians and can be seen as exemplary for the formation, development and spreading of a specific christian manuscript culture across east and west ad 300 and 800.

in the footsteps of carl nordenfalk's masterly publication of 1938 and few following contributions, this book offers an updated overview on the topic of 'canon tables' in a comparative perspective and with a precise look at their context of origin, their visual appearance, their meaning, function and their usage in different times, domains, and cultures.

  • representations of the body in middle english biblical drama combines epistemological enquiry, gender theory and foucauldian concepts to investigate the body as a useful site for studying power, knowledge and truth. intertwining the conceptualizations of violence and the performativity of gender identity and roles, estella ciobanu argues that studying violence in drama affords insights into the cultural and social aspects of the later middle ages. the text investigates these biblical plays through the perspective of the devil and offers a unique lens that exposes medieval disquiets about christian teachings and the discourse of power. through detailed primary source analysis and multidisciplinary scholarship, ciobanu constructs a text that interrogates the significance of performance far beyond the stage.

  • should lebanon be part of the arab world? the question of belonging has formed the basis of the political, religious, and cultural tensions in lebanon, to the point that sectarian conflict on the country's future contributed significantly to the outbreak of civil war in 1975. this book focuses on the development of the phoenician-lebanese movement that struggled against the hegemonic status of arabic language and culture. the phoenician-lebanese were a predominantly maronite, christian group who attempted to remove themselves from the muslim and arab world throughout the twentieth century. their demands for self-definition as a nation and their desire to establish their own culture were rooted in the concept of their ancient phoenician past. basilius bawardi examines four prominent authors who formed the basis on which all engaged so-called phoenician literature was built: shārl qurm, sa‛īd ‛aql, mayy murr and mūrīs ‛awwād. the literary corpus of these writers was a critical component of the political activity that strove to distinguish the native lebanese inhabitants from their arab-muslim neighbours. studying these authors' works in both a literary and historical way, bawardi shows how language was used to promote a specific political agenda and identifies the strong connections between language, literature, and nation building. as well as revealing the nationalist struggle as it emerges in prose and poetry, the book discusses the history and formation of modern day lebanon and why language and literature are so crucial for members of a national minority.

  • this book scrutinizes literary works based on judaism, jews and their descendants, written or printed by the portuguese, from the forced conversion of jews in 1497, until the ending of the distinction between new and old christians in 1773. it tries to understand what motivated this vast literary production, its different currents, and how they evolved. additionally, it studies the image of new christians and seeks the reasons for the perpetuation of this perception of jewish descendants in the early modern portuguese world. the imaginary synagogue seeks to identify which jews and which 'synagogue' those authors constructed in their texts and their reasons for doing so, and offers conclusions on the self-affirmed catholic importance of this literary current.

  • corey grace - a handsome and charismatic republican senator from ohio - is plunged by an act of terrorism into a fierce presidential primary battle with the favorite of the party establishment and a magnetic leader of the christian right. a decorated gulf war pilot, grace insists on voting his own conscience rather than the party line, and this stubborn independence - together with his growing romance with lexie hart, an african-american movie star - has earned him a reputation as an unpredictable iconoclast. but grace is still haunted by a tragic mistake buried deep in his past, and now his integrity will be put to the test in this most brutal of political contests, in which nothing in his past or present life is off-limits. a vivid and sometimes frightening depiction of contemporary power politics, the race culminates in a deadlocked and febrile party convention where grace must resolve the conflict between his feelings for lexie and his presidential ambitions - and decide just who and what he is willing to sacrifice. show more (1)

  • scholastic theologians made the virgin mary increasingly perfect over the middle ages in europe. mary became stainless, offering an impossible but ideologically useful vision of womanhood. this work offers an implicit theory of the utility and feelings of women in a christian salvationary economy. the virgin was put to use as a shaming technology, one that silenced and effaced women's affective lives. the shame still stands to this day, although in secularised mutated forms. this element deploys the intellectual history of medieval thought to map the moves made in codifying mary's perfection. it then uses contemporary gender and affect theory to consider the implications of mary's perfection within modernity, mapping the emotional regimes of the medieval past upon the present (1)
