Annual collection on diverse aspects of the fifteenth century, with
an emphasis on manuscripts and manuscript culture. The fifteenth
century defies consensus on fundamental issues; most scholars
agree, however, that the period outgrew the Middle Ages, that it
was a time of transition and a passage to modern times.
Fifteenth-Century Studiesoffers essays on diverse aspects of the
period, including liberal and fine arts, historiography, medicine,
and religion. Essays within this thirty-sixth volume treat a wide
range of topics: the importance of manuscript culture as reflected
in Carcel de amor; the wanderings of Rene d'Anjou and Olivier de la
Marche as reflected in literary texts; the art of compiling in Jean
de Bueil's Jouvencel; a diplomatic transcription of Princeton MS153
(reception and compilation practices of the Rose); historical
approaches in the chronicles of Jean le Bel and Jean Froissart; the
Fairfax Sequence in Bodleian MS Fairfax 16; anticlerical critique
in the Croxton Playof the Sacrament; the Chester cycle of mystery
plays; the conquering Turk in Carnival Nurnberg: Hans Rosenplut's
Des Turken Vasnachtspil; and Tolkien's eucatastrophe and Malory's
Morte Darthur. Book reviews conclude the volume. Contributors:
