Making Laws for a Christian Society

Making Laws for a Christian Society

Roy Flechner

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2023
nidottu
This is the first comprehensive study of the contribution that texts from Britain and Ireland made to the development of canon law in early medieval Europe. The book concentrates on a group of insular texts of church law—chief among them the Irish Hibernensis—tracing their evolution through mutual influence, their debt to late antique traditions from around the Mediterranean, their reception (and occasional rejection) by clerics in continental Europe, their fusion with continental texts, and their eventual impact on the formation of a European canonical tradition. Canonical collections, penitentials, and miscellanies of church law, and royal legislation, are all shown to have been 'living texts', which were continually reshaped through a process of trial and error that eventually gave rise to a more stable and more coherent body of church laws. Through a meticulous text-critical study Roy Flechner argues that the growth of church law in Europe owes as much to a serendipitous 'conversation' between texts as it does to any deliberate plan overseen by bishops and popes.

A gripping biography that brings together the most recent research to shed provocative new light on the life of Saint Patrick Saint Patrick was, by his own admission, a controversial figure. Convicted in a trial by his elders in Britain and hounded by rumors that he settled in Ireland for financial gain, the man who was to become Ireland's patron saint battled against great odds before succeeding as a missionary. Saint Patrick Retold draws on recent research to offer a fresh assessment of Patrick's travails and achievements. This is the first biography in nearly fifty years to explore Patrick's career against the background of historical events in late antique Britain and Ireland. Roy Flechner examines the likelihood that Patrick, like his father before him, might have absconded from a career as an imperial official responsible for taxation, preferring instead to migrate to Ireland with his family's slaves, who were his source of wealth. Flechner leaves no stone unturned as he takes readers on a riveting journey through Romanized Britain and late Iron Age Ireland, and he considers how best to interpret the ambiguous literary and archaeological evidence from this period of great political and economic instability, a period that brought ruin for some and opportunity for others. Rather than a dismantling of Patrick's reputation, or an argument against his sainthood, Flechner's biography raises crucial questions about self-image and the making of a reputation. From boyhood deeds to the challenges of a missionary enterprise, Saint Patrick Retold steps beyond established narratives to reassess a notable figure's life and legacy.

The Hibernensis, Volume 1

The Hibernensis, Volume 1

The Hibernensis is the longest and most comprehensive canon-law text to have circulated in Carolingian Europe. Compiled in Ireland in the late seventh or early eight century, it exerted a strong and long-lasting influence on the development of European canon law. The present edition offers—for the first time—a complete text of the Hibernensis combining the two main branches of its manuscript transmission. This is accompanied by an English translation and a commentary that is both historical and philological. The Hibernensis is an invaluable source for those interested in church history, the history of canon law, social-economic history, as well as intellectual history, and the history of the book. Widely recognized as the single most important source for the history of the church in early medieval Ireland, the Hibernensis is also our best index for knowing what books were available in Ireland at the time of its compilation: it consists of excerpted material from the Bible, Church Fathers and doctors, hagiography, church histories, chronicles, wisdom texts, and insular normative material unattested elsewhere. This in addition to the staple sources of canonical collections, comprising the acta of church councils and papal letters. Altogether there are forty-two cited authors and 135 cited texts. But unlike previous canonical collections, the contents of the Hibernensis are not simply derivative: they have been modified and systematically organised, offering an important insight into the manner in which contemporary clerical scholars attempted to define, interpret, and codify law for the use of a growing Christian society.

The Irish in Early Medieval Europe

The Irish in Early Medieval Europe

Red Globe Press

Irish scholars who arrived in Continental Europe in the early Middle Ages are often credited with making some of the most important contributions to European culture and learning of the time, from the introduction of a new calendar to monastic reform. Among them were celebrated personalities such as St Columbanus, John Scottus Eriugena, and Sedulius Scottus who were in the vanguard of a constant stream of arrivals from Ireland to continental Europe, collectively known as 'peregrini'. The continental response to this Irish 'diaspora' ranged from admiration to open hostility, especially when peregrini were deemed to challenge prevalent cultural or spiritual conventions. This volume brings together leading historians, archaeologists, and palaeographers who provide—for the first time—a comprehensive assessment of the phenomenon of Irish peregrini in their continental context and the manner in which it is framed by modern scholarship as well as the popular imagination.

Roy, the paper bag, has always dreamed about what his life could be like outside the grocery store. Almost every day, one of his old friends comes back to visit. They tell him about all of the exciting new things the others are being made into, from hand puppets and wrapping paper to works of art. When Roy finally gets his chance to leave the store will he become something amazing or will his dreams be thrown in the trash?Noah Kapustka writes his first children's book hoping to spark a conversation between children and parents about the importance of recycling and sustainability. To help parents teach their kids about climate consciousness, this picture book offers examples of how to reuse something as simple and common as paper bags. As a starting point, there are instructions on how to decorate and design a new cover for Roy using recycled materials.

Lonely geht ins zweite Drittel Nach dem Tod ihres Gro vaters, der Eishockey-Legende Michael Rahde, hat die f nfzehnj hrige Aylin Rahde das Eishockeyspielen aufgegeben und ist in ihrer Trauer vereinsamt, da ihr Gro vater f r das introvertierte M dchen, das Lonely genannt wird, die einzige Bezugsperson darstellte. Doch der ebenfalls sehr verschlossene aber nichtsdestoweniger beliebte Roy hat es geschafft, Aylins Vertrauen zu gewinnen und das Eis in ihrem Innern zum Schmelzen zu bringen. Und pl tzlich war da auch die neue Freundin ihres Vaters, ihr ehemaliger Mannschaftskamerad Jake, f r den sie pl tzlich mehr zu empfinden scheint, und auch neue Sehnsucht nach dem Eishockey. W hrend Aylin also wieder ihre ersten Versuche auf dem Eis macht, bald ein Geschwisterchen bekommen wird und zudem gl cklich mit Jake ist, scheint sie Michaels Tod zu berwinden und ihr Leben endlich wieder zu genie en. Ganz anders sieht es bei Roy aus, der pl tzlich mit seiner Vergangenheit, der ungekl rten Familiensituation und dem Gef hl zu k mpfen hat, nirgendwo so richtig hinzugeh ren. Und dann l sst ihn eine Kette ungl cklicher Ereignisse beinahe abrutschen und nicht nur er wird vor die Frage gestellt, was Liebe letztendlich ausmacht.

Gangen er tom og det er stille i huset.Det er noen som mangler.Det er Roy som mangler.Men hvor er Roy nå? Ligger han nede i jorda? Er han i hundeparadiset?Eller kanskje han er blitt et spøkelse? Hunden Roy er borte for alltid. Men kanskje han er her likevel?

Gro Dahle och Svein Nyhus är finstämda förmedlare av livets allvar till barn. Den här gången handlar det om hunden Roy som en dag ligger död. Det är svårt att förstå. Men var är Roy nu? Kanske är han i hundparadiset? Kanske har han blivit ett spöke? Roy är borta för alltid, men kanske finns han här ändå, han är ju i mitt huvud, tänker pojken. »Roy är en märkvärdig bilderbok, så skickligt genomförd att dess pedagogiska och psykologiska ärende inte för ett ögonblick skymmer den starka berättelsens egen konstnärliga suggestionskraft.» /Nisse Larsson i DN »DahleNyhus tre böcker för barn (och vuxna, vill jag hävda) är bland de vackraste jag läst, och det är en fröjd att någon vill ta barn på sådant allvar.» /Jenny Rydqvist i Sydsvenskan »Av bilderböcker om döden är Roy en av de bästa jag träffat på.» /Lena Kåreland i SvD »Det finns ingen slumpmässighet eller slentrian i det som uttrycks här. De här böckerna är gjorda med stor konstnärlig integritet och stor inlevelse. Man vill bara citera och citera. Böckerna ser mer än de ger sig ut för att se, ger mer än de påstår sig ge. Lösningarna erbjuds inte på bekostnad av skildringen, utan som en del av den, som en möjlighet bland andra.» /Nora Hämäläinen i Ny Tid om Gro Dahle och Svein Nyhus bilderböcker
