Spanish Humanism on the Verge of the Picaresque
Essais de langue et de littérature françaises du moyen âge
Edited with introduction, translation, and notes by Warren S. Smith & Clark Colahan
The 16th-century humanist Juan Maldonado in his Latin essays foreshadows the Spanish picaresque. Like Erasmus, with whom he corresponded, Maldonado advocated the use of Latin in a wide-range of activities. Maldonado’s Pastor Bonus, a lengthy open letter to a bishop, reviews in a vivid and satirical style the abuses of the churchmen in his diocese. His Ludus chartarum is framed as a colloquium similar to Vives’ on the subject, entertaining while teaching a Latin terminology for card playing. His Bacchanalia, written for student actors, is a spirited play pitting the forces of Lent against those of Bacchus, as in the Libro de buen amor. These works have been edited and translated into English by Warren Smith and Clark Colahan for the first time, with illustrations of scenes from each work, and of 16th-century cards, by Richard Simmons and Caleb Smith. € 49,50 isbn 978 90 5867 708 2

Ce volume regroupe huit contributions consacrées à la langue et la littérature françaises du moyen âge. Elles sont le reflet d’une journée d’étude organisée en l’honneur du professeur émérite Willy Van Hoecke, dont la passion pour la linguistique diachronique et la littérature médiévale françaises lui a fait développer des techniques d’édition critique à partir des oeuvres de Baudouin de Condé, technique qu’il appliquera aussi à l’édition de la Rectorique de Marc Tulles Cyceron, une traduction de deux traités de rhétorique latins réalisée par Jean d’Antioche à la fin du 13e siècle. Il mettra aussi au point une méthode pour l’étude empirique de l’évolution de la langue par le biais de traductions. Les études rassemblées en son honneur portent sur divers sujets: la phraséologie historique, des auteurs médiévaux, certaines figures littéraires, des destinataires de la littérature médiévale, des types particuliers de textes littéraires, et certains liens entre la littérature en moyen néerlandais et celle de l’ancien français.

This volume gathers eight contributions regarding the French medieval language and literature. They are a selection of papers presented during a colloquium organized in honor of Prof. Emeritus Willy Van Hoecke, whose passion for French diachronic linguistics and medieval literature has driven him to develop some techniques for critical text edition, applied to the oeuvre of Baudouin de Condé, techniques which he also used for the edition of Jean d’Antioche’s Rectorique de Marc Tulles Cyceron. The papers collected here regard a variety of subjects: historical phraseology, medieval authors, some specific literary characters, addressees of medieval literature, certain types of literary texts, and the relationship between Middle Dutch and Old French literature. michèle goyens is full Professor of French diachronic linguistics at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.
