New essays on a wide variety of topics from poetry to dress to
violence to a recipe collection. 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.
Following the customary opening article on the current state of
fifteenth-century drama research, essays treat such topics as
poetry as a source for illustrated German prose, the St. Edith
picture cycle in Salisbury, the flourishing of French history; and
Spanish schools of translators. Other essays treat poems from the
Gruuthusesongbook; Louis XI and pilgrim's dress, Robert Henryson's
Moral Fabilles, violence in English romances, Jews' presence
through absence in Vicente Ferrer's Sermons, and Conrad Buitzruss's
recipe collection in Manuscript Clm 671 (Munich). Book reviews
conclude the volume. Contributors: Edelgard E. DuBruck, James H.

New essays on topics from love and sexuality to physical handicaps,
old age, good and bad fortune, women's virtues, art and literature,
and the writing of manuscripts. Fifteenth-Century Studies has
appeared annually since 1977. It publishes essays on all aspects of
life in the 15th century, including literature, drama, history,
philosophy, art, music, religion, science, and ritual and custom.
The editors strive to do justice to the most contested medieval
century, a period that defies consensus on fundamental issues. In
this volume the standard synopsis of research on 15th-c. theater is
followed by essays on reflection/meditation on love and sexuality,
physical handicaps, old age, betrayal, and false accusations.
Contributors investigate good and bad fortune and human reactions
to it, as well as women's virtues. Essays deal with poetry, prose,
and drama, while others explore art, looking at illuminations,
fresco, and tapestry from the vantage point of hagiography and
romance. Finally, there is an essay on scribes, codices, and
manuscripts from the perspective of New Philology. Contributors: E.

Bobbin lacemaking is a wonderfully therapeutic hobby. This manual
is intended as a primer for the newcomer, or those taking up a
class of study. Torchon lacemaking is ideal for the beginner as it
is geometric, and mistakes are easily corrected. It is also a
stepping stone to other forms of lacemaking. The book also contains
information on reading patterns, on mounting lace in a variety of
ways, and advice on changing the scale of the lace using different
grids and a variety of threads. Ideas are given for colored lace
and tips on lace design. A number of projects to try are
included--cake frills and garters, small mats and handkerchiefs,
lavender bags and pin cushions.
The focus of the volume, in addition to standard features such as
the bibliographical update on 15th-c. theater, is on late-medieval
authors as literary critics. Founded in 1977 as the publication
organ for the Fifteenth-Century Symposium, Fifteenth-Century
Studies has appeared annually since then. It publishes essays on
all aspects of life in the fifteenth century, including literature,
drama, history, philosophy, art, music, religion, science, and
ritual and custom. The editors strive to do justice to the most
contested medieval century, a period that has long been the
stepchild of research. The fifteenthcentury defies consensus on
fundamental issues: some scholars dispute, in fact, whether it
belonged to the middle ages at all, arguing that it was a period of
transition, a passage to modern times. At issue, therefore, is the
verytenor of an age that stood under the influence of Gutenberg,
Columbus, the Devotio Moderna,, and Humanism. Along with the
standard updating of bibliography on 15th-c. theater, this volume
is devoted to research on late-medieval authors as literary
critics. Thus, for the historian as well as the writer of fiction,
the tenuous limits between truth and fantasy (and the role of
doubt) are investigated. If there are several eyewitness accounts
of an event, which one can be trusted? Medieval memorialists
sometimes became advisors to princes and used a rhetoric of careful
persuasion. Values such as chivalry, courtly love, and kingly
self-representation come up for discussion here.Several essays
ponder the structure of poetic forms and popular genres, and others
consider more factual topics such as incunabula on medications,
religious literature in the vernacular for everyday use, a
student's notebook on magic, and late medieval merchants, money,
and trade. Contributors: Edelgard DuBruck, Karen Casebier, Emma J.
Cayley, Albrecht Classen, Michael G. Cornelius, Jean Dufornet,
Catherine Emerson, Leonardas V. Gerulaitis, Kenneth Hodges, Sharon
M. Loewald, Luca Pierdominici, Michel J. Raby, Elizabeth I. Wade.
