Fonti e contesti dei miracoli eucaristici delle Cantigas de Santa María 128 e 208 by Manuel Negri

“…If for Cantiga 128 the influence of a version contained in a miraculous collection of Catalan origin is highlighted, as it bears details shared exclusively with the medieval Galician text, for Cantiga 208 the presence is reiterated, at the base, of the work of the Cistercian monk Cesario of Heisterbach, with some innovations to be attributed to the same court of the sovereign to perhaps some doctrinal needs of his time.…”

“…not as history, but…” by Elizabeth Freeman

“…Prompted by recent scholarship into the benefits, or otherwise, of trying to isolate distinct genres within what one scholar has referred to as “the whole mass of medieval historiography”, this article examines the so-called “historical” texts composed by the medieval English Cistercian abbot Aelred of Rievaulx (1110-1167). None of these seven texts fits into the classic genre of the history, and yet the article argues that all are indeed historiographical texts. …”

Recordando o rei David: vivência coral e criatividade musical na Europa pós-carolíngia by Manuel Pedro Ferreira

“…In so doing, it puts into evidence the tension between an expansive, emotional musical aesthetics (mainly associated to Cluny and the Aquitanian and Aquitanian-derived traditions) and the patristic puritanism revived by the Cistercians in the 12th century. Among those texts translated here into Portuguese for the first time, passages from 12th-century authors John of Salisbury, Hugh of Fouilloy and Aelred of Rievaulx are particularly telling.…”
