Paperback. Condition: New. The 'spatial turn' in recent discussions about the relevance of 'space' and 'place' in medieval literature inspired the editors to transcend the boundaries of Europe and extend their investigation to Pre-Columbian America and the Far East. The results are surprising. Since cultures across the world ass…ociated both islands and walled cities with notions of paradise, the investigations reveal striking commonalities, e.g., between Dante's Island of the Purgatorio and the island of Japan. In addition, several contributions outline visitor's reactions to and influence on medieval cities with similar results (Kyoto, Paris, Nuremberg). Thus the combination of interspatial approaches opens up unusual perspectives on bounded space (whether by walls or by water) in world literatures and history.

Paperback. Condition: New. Michel Beheim (1420-ca. 1474), prolific and peripatetic composer of almost 500 song-poems, explored a very wide thematic and stylistic range, embracing almost every type of song accessible to the late medieval and early modern singer. He wrote lyrics on history and love, politics and travel, geography…and aesthetics, morals and warfare, satire and diplomacy, polemics and religion, Dracula and ocean monsters - and more. Often his own scribe, Beheim, ever the self-important artist, carefully preserved his work for posterity. Sometimes housed at the highest courts of the Empire, but frequently without sustenance, Beheim led a life in constant search of literary patronage. In the end, he was forced into retirement because his monophonic singing fell out of favor, rivalled by the polyphonic music of the Renaissance courts. This new collection of annotated translations of his work offers an introduction to his vast oeuvre.«Our foremost translator and commentator, Professor Ogier is a surefooted guide to the challenging oeuvre of Michel Beheim, an under-appreciated author of vast range. Ogier's colloquial, yet true renditions perfectly capture the tone and timbre of a long-stilled, but vital voice. This volume is particularly welcome because it contains many of the first English versions of richly diverse and important song-poems. It is to be hoped that this volume finds a place in our university classrooms, where Michel Beheim will surely gain an appreciative audience.»(Professor William C. McDonald, University of Virginia)«James Ogier meets the scientific standards required since the new assessment of Beheim's poetry in the history of pre-Meistersang. This concerns the selection of the poems with its special focus as well as the transcription of Beheim's melodies as an integral part of his art. Therefore, I strongly endorse this publication.»(Professor Sieglinde Hartmann, Universität Würzburg).

Softcover, 21 cm. Condition: Gut. XII, 328 pp., 1 fig. col., 7 fig. b/w. A perfect copy. - Summary: Michel Beheim (1420ca. 1474), prolific and peripatetic composer of almost 500 song-poems, explored a very wide thematic and stylistic range, embracing almost every type of song accessible to the late medieval and early modern sing…er. He wrote lyrics on history and love, politics and travel, geography and aesthetics, morals and warfare, satire and diplomacy, polemics and religion, Dracula and ocean monsters and more. Often his own scribe, Beheim, ever the self-important artist, carefully preserved his work for posterity. Sometimes housed at the highest courts of the Empire, but frequently without sustenance, Beheim led a life in constant search of literary patronage. In the end, he was forced into retirement because his monophonic singing fell out of favor, rivalled by the polyphonic music of the Renaissance courts. This new collection of annotated translations of his work offers an introduction to his vast oeuvre. - Contents: Introduction -- Songs -- Zugweise -- 22 On young Duke Albert of Bavaria -- 23 On the dignity of song and that it is now defamed -- 24 On Michel Beheim's birth and his arrival in this land -- 26 A parable about the flatterers and layabouts of whom one finds many at court -- 27 About a loose woman -- Kurze Weise -- 54 A fable that I composed when the princes allied themselves with the imperial cities -- 55 On the timorousness of the city folk and the boldness of the nobles -- 62 How I first got the urge to make poetry, and how I found my first patron -- Osterweise -- 90 A fable about the lords of Austria -- 96 About the University of Vienna -- 98 On the awful conditions among the nobles -- 99 About a despot named Voivode Dracula of Wallachia -- 101 About the Turks: A message received in Nuremberg -- 102 On those who claim the songs of the old masters as their own -- 104 This poem tells about King Ladislas, the King of Hungary, and how he battled the Turks (the Battle of Varna November 10, 1444) -- 105 About the battle of Körmend -- 106 About Count Jiskra -- 112 About the Viennese -- 113 On Bohemia -- Verkehrte Weise -- 190 On many kinds of licentiousness. First, sins against nature -- 191 On licentiousness between relatives and kin -- 192 On adultery -- 193 On the unchastity of maidens -- 235 This poem tells of many types of heretics and sorcerers -- 237 This song tells about the Turks and berates the princes for doing nothing about them -- 238 This is about the Turks and rebukes all the nobility for doing nothing -- 239 Another one about the Turks and it scolds the lords of Austria for their disunity -- 243 A fable about the lords of Austria -- 244 A parable about Duke Albert -- Hofweise -- 300 The following songs are in Michel Beheim's Hofweise, and the first one is a parable on the Holy Trinity and it begins with these notes -- 301 On the course of the heavens and the stars -- 309a? This is an allegory that I composed for my lord, King Ladislaus in Prague in Bohemia and tells of the heretics. Since I dared not sing publicly before them, I composed it as a parable, and they had to listen to it anyway. -- 309b When I had sung this song to the king, he told me I should explain its meaning. So I said: "If your Grace tells me what you would think of those who were so disobedient, I will interpret it." Then he said he would be unmerciful to them. Then I sang the interpretation thus. -- 310 A lampoon on the heretics in Bohemia; I also composed this in Prague, but secretly -- 311 This is a fable about my lord King Ladislaus's officials, but not about the pious ones, but rather about the evil and disloyal ones -- 314 A fable about a monkey -- 316 A fable about a crab, directed at the clerics -- 318 A fable about an ass and a lion pelt -- 319 A fable about birds and animals against uncouth people -- 323 On the scorn I endured in Heidelberg about my singing -- 324 What happened to me in Altenburg (Mosomagyaróvár) in Hungary -- 327 On my Sea Voyage -- 328 Here I have composed a song about the Turkish Emperor Mehmed, about how he conquered Constantinople and laid waste to Serbia, and what great shame and damage he suffered at the Byzantine city of Belgrade, and about the crusade the Christians thereafter led against the Turks, and how the noble lord Count Ulrich of Celje was murdered. All this you will hear, as I, Michael Beheim, participated in the voyage. (The siege of Belgrade) -- 329 About my six greatest perils -- 352 On the governing of the world and the course of the stars -- 354 A Pig-Out -- 356 This is about my lord, King Ladislaus, and about the loyalty of the Bohemians and the disloyalty of the Hungarians -- 357 This is about the origin of the Teinitz family -- Slegweise -- 358 These songs written here are in Michel Beheim's Slegweise or -melody and the first one below in these notes tells of the vexation that he had when he first started singing -- 418 A fable about foolish singers who pretend to great art but are incapable -- Lange Weise -- 425 The following songs written down here are in Michel Beheim's Lange Weise, and this first one that is in here and in the melody, Michel Beheim composed it when he first began to write songs and relates that he had many who envied him because of his artistry in composition -- 438 The following ongs written here also are in the Lange Weise, but the rhymes are changed and not as disguised as in the previous ones, they are open, as can be heard in this text, as I have made a special text for it -- 446 This tells about the Turks and the (Christian) nobility.
