A Companion to Colette of Corbie presents a collection of essays
offering new historical and religious perspectives on the life,
career, and influences of this little-studied fifteenth-century
saint. Colette of Corbie, a contemporary of Joan of Arc,
established an important reform movement in the Franciscan order;
founded numerous monasteries for women in Burgundy, France, and the
Low Countries; and had connections with high ranking Burgundian and
French noble families. Essays in this volume draw upon many
relatively unknown primary sources and add significantly to the
scholarship on this important religious figure. Contributors are:
Anna Campbell, Joan Mueller, Andrea Pearson, Jane Marie Pinzino,
Monique Somme, Ludovic Viallet, and Nancy Bradley Warren
Bartolome de las Casas, O.P.: History, Philosophy, and Theology in
the Age of European Expansion marks a critical point in Lascasian
scholarship. The result of the collaborative work of seventeen
prominent scholars, contributions span the fields of history, Latin
American studies, literary criticism, philosophy and theology. The
volume offers to specialists and non-specialists alike access to a
rich and thoughtful overview of nascent colonial Latin American and
early modern Iberian studies in a single text. Contributors: Rolena
Adorno; Matthew Restall; David Thomas Orique, O.P.; Rady
Roldan-Figueroa; Carlos A. Jauregui; David Solodkow; Alicia Mayer;
