Although Richard Johnson’s chivalric romance "The Seven Champions of Christendom" is little known today, it was widely read for over three centuries after its first appearance in print in the 1590s, influencing the work of English writers from John Bunyan to G.K. Chesterton and profoundly affecting the representation of St George, England’s patron saint, in folklore and popular culture. In this volume, Jennifer Fellows offers a scholarly edition of the work. The text is based on the original printings of Parts I and II of the romance and is accompanied by explanatory notes and by a

Helen Moore here presents the first edited version of Anthony Munday’s translation of the Spanish chivalric romance Amadis de Gaula. An old-spelling edition is accompanied by an introduction, textual apparatus, a glossary and critical endnotes. The Introduction comprises three main sections: a brief account of the Arthurian origins of the romance, its place in the Iberian romance tradition and its pan-European popularity; a brief biography of the translator Anthony Munday and a discussion of his method of translation; and an account of the influence of Amadis de Gaule on English Renaissa

Previous attempts to critique the canonical approach of Brevard Childs have remained largely theoretical in nature. One of the weakness of canonical criticism, then, is its failure to have generated new readings of extended biblical passages. Reviewing the hermeneutics and the praxis of Childs’s approach, Lyons then turns to the Sodom narrative (Gen 18-19) as a test of a practical exegesis according to Childs’ principles, and then to reflect critically upon the reading experience generated. Surprisingly, the canonical reading produced is a wholly new one, centred around the complex

In some languages every subject is marked in the same way, and also every object. But there are languages in which a small set of verbs mark their subjects or their objects in an unusual way. For example, most verbs may mark their subject with nominative case, but one small set of verbs may have dative subjects, and another small set may have locative subjects. Verbs with noncanonically marked subjects and objects typically refer to physiological states or events, inner feelings, perception and cognition. The introduction sets out the theoretical parameters and defines the properties in terms

The authors of the Devi-Bhagavata Puranendeavored to demonstrate the superiority of the Devi over competing masculine deities, and to articulate in new ways the manifold nature of the Goddess. Brown’s book sets out to examine how the Puranpursues these ends. The Devi-Bhagavata employs many ancient myths and motifs from older masculine theologies, incorporating them into a thoroughly "feminized" theological framework. The text also seeks to supplant older "masculine" canonical authorities. Part I of Brown’s study explores these strategies by focusing on the Puran’s sel

While the canonical scriptures were produced over many centuries and represent a diverse library of texts, they are unified by stories of divine covenants and their implications for God’s people. In this deeply researched and thoughtful book, Scott Hahn shows how covenant, as an overarching theme, makes possible a coherent reading of the diverse traditions found within the canonical scriptures. Biblical covenants, though varied in form and content, all serve the purpose of extending sacred bonds of kinship, Hahn explains. Specifically, divine covenants form and shape a father-son bond betwe

The algebras of operators arise frequently in the study of representations of Lie groups, both finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional. This survey begins with extensive background material and advances to considerations of the algebras of operators in Hilbert space and covariant representations and connections. 1988 edition.
