Hardcover || Gordon A. Wilson || Leuven University Press

Global Gothic
Neogothic Church Architecture in the 20th and 21st centuries

Summa (Quaestiones ordinariae) art. LXIII-LXVII
2024 || Hardcover || Gordon Wilson e.a. || Leuven University Press

The critical edition of articles 63–67 of Henry’s Quaestiones ordinariae (Summa) *is dedicated to the subjects discussed in his lectures held at the University of Paris, namely the common relations within the Trinity. These articles were composed around 1290. In them, Henr...

Hugo Grotius, Annals of the War in the Low Countries
Edition, Translation, and Introduction
2022 || Hardcover || Jan Waszink || Leuven University Press
The Annals of the War in the Low Countries is one of Hugo Grotius' lesser-known works. Grotius expresses a wayward view of the early revolt, which he presents not as a united battle for the true faith and the ancient liberties of the land but as a protracted and painful struggle, not only with the great power of Spain, but also with discord, selfishness and religious fanaticism among the Dutch. To convey this complex and controversial vision of the foundational years of the Dutch Republic, Gr...

An Opaque Mirror For Trajan
A Literary Analysis and Interpretation of Plutarch's 'Regum et Imperatorum Apophthegmata'
2024 || Hardcover || Laurens Van der Wiel || Leuven University Press
Plutarch’s Regum et imperatorum apophthegmata (Sayings of Kings and Commanders) holds a peculiar position in his oeuvre. This collection of almost 500 anecdotes of barbarian, Greek, and Roman rulers and generals is introduced by a dedicatory letter to Trajan as a summary of the author’s well known and widely read Parallel Lives. The work is therefore Plutarch’s only text that explicitly addresses a Roman emperor and is likely to shed light on his biographical technique. Yet the collecti...

Dynamics of Religious Reform Charity and social welfare
Hardcover || Leen van Molle || Leuven University Press
How churches in Northern Europe reinvented their role as providers of social relief.
Charity is a word that fits well in the history of religion and churches, whereas the concept of social reform seems to belong more to the vocabulary of the modern welfare states. Christian charity found itself, during the long nineteenth century, within the maelstrom of social turmoil. In this context of social unrest, although charity managed to confirm its relevance, it was also subjected to fierce critici...

The Astrological Autobiography of a Medieval Philosopher
Henry Bate's Nativitas (1280-81)
2018 || Hardcover || Steven Vanden Broecke e.a. || Leuven University Press
The present book reveals the riches of the earliest known astrological autobiography, authored by Henry Bate of Mechelen (1246–after 1310). Exploiting all resources of contemporary astrological science, Bate conducts in his 'Nativitas' a profound self-analysis, revealing the peculiarities of his character and personality at a crucial moment of his life (1280). The result is an extraordinarily detailed and penetrating attempt to decode the fate of one’s own life and its idiosyncrasies. 'Th...
