Vande Walle, Willy - / Kasaya, Kazuhiko

Dodonaeus in Japan, Translation and the Scientific Mind in the Tokugawa Period.

BE -, Universitaire Pers, 2001 Hardcover with dusjacket, 383 pages, fine condition !. ISBN 9789058671790.
¶ This collection of essays is the outcome of an international symposium, jointly organised by the International Research Center for Japanese Studies, Kyoto, and the Section of Japanese Studies of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in October 1998. It was the second in a series of three international symposia that the International Resaerch Center for Japanese Studies organised in Europe in conjunction with a European partner. The Leuven Symposium, which went under the general title of Translations of Culture, Culture of Translation, actually consisted of two parallel sessions. The first one was a workshop on Gender and Modernity in Japan. The second one was devoted to a reflection on Translation and Adaptation in the Formulation of Modern Episteme: A Reappraisal of Dodoens. The essays in the present volume are the reworked and elaborated versions of the presentations made at the latter symposium. It was clear that many of the issues one had to tackle had to do with translation, and that translation was not a phenomenon limited to Japan, but equally prominent in European cultural history, nor limited to texts as such, but involving broader cultural contexts as well. The result was an investigation of Dodoens's (Dodonaeus) importance in Europe as well as in Japan through the prism of translation, transposition adaptation etc., defined as a moving force in cultural and social development and an indispensable lubricant in the process of functional differentiation. The main concern was evidently Japan, but the organisers deliberately opted for a perspective that kept a certain distance from boundaries. Therefore experts in the field of Western herbals and botany were confronted with historians of early modern Japan.

postmodernisme in de Nederlandse en Vlaamse roman

Vantilt, Nijmegen, 2013 paperback, geillustreerd, 224 pagina's, (vierde druk) nieuwstaat !. ISBN 9789075697254.
¶ Als er over hedendaags literair proza gesproken wordt, valt steeds het woord ?postmodern?. Toch bestaat er geen overzicht van de Nederlandstalige postmoderne roman. Het postmodernisme in de Nederlandse en Vlaamse roman vult deze lacune op. Dit uiterst verhelderende boek, waarvan nu een (ongewijzigde) vierde druk verschijnt, richt zich op de Nederlandse en Vlaamse roman van de afgelopen 25 jaar. Vorm en inhoud van de postmoderne roman worden toegelicht aan de hand van het wereld- en mensbeeld, de taalopvatting, het vertellen, de metafictie, de tijd en de intertekstualiteit. Binnen dit kader komt het werk van zo'n 25 romanciers uitgebreid aan bod, onder wie Huub Beurskens, Willem Brakman, M. Februari, Louis Ferron, Stefan Hertmans, Pol Hoste, Gijs IJlander, Atte Jongstra, Gerrit Krol, Charlotte Mutsaers, Cees Nooteboom en Peter Verhelst. Bart Vervaeck (1958) is hoogleraar Nederlandse literatuur en Algemene Literatuurwetenschap aan de Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Hij publiceerde onder andere Lijf en letter (1997), Literaire Hellevaarten (2006) en, samen met Luc Herman, het standaardwerk Vertelduivels. Handboek verhaalanalyse (2001, herziene editie 2005).

Theory and Practice of Translation in the Middle Ages,

Turnhout, Brepols, 2004 Paperback, XXVI+350 p., 150 x 230 mm. ISBN 9782503510163.
¶ The interest of the writers of these essays in the intricacies and implications of translation in the Middle Ages,or of the translation of medieval texts in the modern period, has resulted in a diverse and intellectually stimulating volume. The papers in this volume, written in either English, French, or Spanish, approach translation from a wide variety of perspectives and offer a range of interpretations of the concept of translation. The volume contains essays ranging in time from the Anglo Saxon period to the present,and in topic from medieval recipe books to arguments in favour of women administering the sacrament. Languages studied include non-European languages as well as Latin and numerous European vernaculars as both source and target languages. As any translator or student of translation quickly becomes aware, it is impossible to divorce language from culture. All the contributors to this volume struggle with the complexities of translation as a cultural act, even when the focus would seem to be specifically linguistic. It is these complexities which lend the study of the theory and practice of translation in the Middle Ages its enduring fascination. Languages : English.

Virgins and Scholars A Fifteenth-Century Compilation of the Lives of John the Baptist, John the Evangelist, Jerome, and Katherine of Alexandria,

Turnhout, Brepols, 2008 Hardback, XII+494 p., 2 colour ill., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503514529.
¶ This collection of prose vitae of four virgins and scholars - Saints John the Baptist, John the Evangelist, Jerome, and Katherine of Alexandria - was almost certainly copied, and the texts very likely composed, at Syon Abbey or Sheen Charterhouse in the mid-fifteenth century. The lives cover a wide range of hagiographic modes, from hagiographic romance to affective, devotional appreciation to doctrinal treatise in narrative form. From the life of Jerome, composed by a monk for his aristocratic spiritual daughter, to the life of Katherine, reputedly translated for Henry V, to those of John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, which set their subjects in a recognizably Birgittine context, they show the interaction of men and women, lay and monastic, in the production of devotional literature. The diversity of their approaches and sources, moreover, shows the links between English dynastic politics and continental religious literature and spiritual traditions. As examples of translation practices, of monastic politics, and of religious instruction, these lives provide a window onto the devotional culture and literary worlds of fifteenth-century Europe. Languages : English, Middle English.

Writings of Julian of Norwich 'A Vision Showed to a Devout Woman' and 'A Revelation of Love',

Turnhout, Brepols, 2006 Hardback, XII+474 p., 6 b/w ill., 175 x 255 mm. ISBN 9782503522968.
¶ This edition contains two texts by Julian of Norwich (c. 1343-c. 1416): A Vision Showed to a Devout Woman and A Revelation of Love. Julian of Norwich (c. 1343-c. 1416) is the earliest woman writer of English we know about. Although she described herself as 'a simple creature unlettered', Julian is now widely recognized as one of the great speculative theologians of the Middle Ages, whose thinking about God as love has made a permanent contribution to the tradition of Christian belief. This book presents a much needed new edition of Julian's writings in Middle English, one that makes possible the serious reading and study of her thought not just for specialists but for all medievalists. This edition includes separate texts of both Julian's works, A Vision Showed to a Devout Woman and A Revelation of Love, with modern punctuation and partly regularized spelling; a second, analytic edition of A Vision printed underneath the text of A Revelation to facilitate study of the relationship between the works; facing-page explanatory notes, with translations of difficult words and phrases, cross-references to other parts of the text, and citations of biblical and other sources; an appendix of life-records and early responses to Julian's thought; and an analytic bibliography. The volume also provides an accessible introduction to Julian's life and writings. Languages : English, Middle English.

Constructing Nations, Reconstructing Myth Essays in Honour of T. A. Shippey,

Turnhout, Brepols, 2007 Hardback, XVIII+383 p., 2 b/w ill. + 2 colour ill., 4 b/w line art, 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503523934.
¶ This collection of essays examines the 'Grimmian Revolution', the paradigm shift in the humanities that came with the publication of Jacob Grimm's Deutsche Grammatik. In doing so, they honour T.A. Shippey, who has been a leading figure in reconsidering the contributions of the Old Philology and its impact on the humanities, particularly the rediscovery of the ancient languages and literatures of Northern Europe; the role this has played in the creation of national and regional identities; the attempts to extend the methods of comparative philology to comparative mythology; and the collection of folktales, folk-ballads, and the development of folkloristics. The sixteen essays in this collection focus on the impact made by nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century philology in the fields of medieval studies and language studies, and in the construction of Northern European national identities, mythologies, and folklore. Languages : English.

Insignis Sophiae Arcator Medieval Latin Studies in Honour of Michael Herren on his 65th Birthday,

Turnhout, Brepols, 2006 Paperback, XIV+304 p., 7 b/w ill., 16 x 25. ISBN 9782503514253.
¶ The essays here gathered focus, though not exclusively, on the insular Latin of Ireland and England, as well as on some Irish centres on the Continent such as St. Gall. Some thirty years ago Michael Herren burst on the medieval Latin scene with his edition and translation of the notoriously difficult Hisperica Famina, and followed this a few years later with his translation of the prose works of Aldhelm. Notice was given that a junior scholar, unafraid to tackle some of the most obscure, complex, and arcane Latin, wished to make it accessible to non-Latinists as well as to those Latinists who lacked his particular skills. Not content with labouring alone in that field, Herren gathered scholars in Toronto to a conference on 'Insular Latin Studies,' the proceedings of which he published two years later. Over the years he shed considerable light on such obscure texts and authors as Virgilius Maro Grammaticus, John Scottus Eriugena, and the Cosmographia by the pseudonymous Aethicus Ister. His research trail led him again and again to Ireland, and the Irish contribution to early medieval Latinity and to English, Carolingian, and even Italian culture. Recognizing the rich diversity of medieval Latin, Herren in 1990 founded The Journal of Medieval Latin and has, as its editor, provided a home for medieval Latinists of all stripes. The fourteen colleagues and former students who have contributed to the present volume wish to express their thanks to Herren for creating a venue in which medieval Latinists can come together, exchange ideas, learn from each other, and teach each other. In their careers, they have all learned from Herren who either supervised their theses or performed editorial magic on articles submitted to The Journal of Medieval Latin. The essays here gathered focus, though not exclusively, on the insular Latin of Ireland and England, as well as on some Irish centres on the Continent such as St. Gall. The Hisperica Famina, so strongly associated with Herren, though mentioned only in passing by some of the studies here, provides the half-line which was chosen as the title and the most suitable address to Herren: insignis sophiae arcator ' 'excellent teacher of wisdom.' Languages : English, Latin.

Buch von der Sundentilgung. SET. Edition des altturkisch-buddhistischen K'anti Kilguluk Nom Bitig,

Turnhout, Brepols, 2007 Paperback, LI+607 p., 120 b/w ill., 210 x 297 mm. ISBN 9782503526218.
¶ The book is the first comprehensive edition of all hitherto identified fragments of the K'anti Kilguluk Nom Bitig in Old Uygur (Old Turkic) culled from several collections of Central Asian manuscripts in Germany, Russia, China and Japan. The text is a translation in 40 chapters of a Chinese Buddhist work (Cibei daochang chanfa) which belongs to the apocrypha. It testifies to the strong influence of Chinese Buddhism at the beginning of the second millennium A.D. among the Uygurs. The objective of the work, which was intended to be recited during a ritual, is the expiation of sins. Another aim was to rescue the patrons' relatives from a life in unfavourable births among hell beings, hungry ghosts, animals etc. Remarkable is the insertion of what must have been originally about a thousand Buddha names numerous of which are preserved in the Old Uygur version. Languages: German.
