The Psalms Commentary of Gilbert of Poitires

The Psalms Commentary of Gilbert of Poitires

Theresa Gross-Diaz

Brill
1997
sidottu
This book makes available to scholars the unpublished proto-scholastic Commentary on the Psalms, composed by one of the outstanding figures of the early twelfth century, Gilbert of Poiters (Gilbert Porreta). The commentary had its origins in the atmosphere of experimentation which characterized the schools of Laon, Chartres and Paris in the first decades of the century. Its unique mise en page, its methodology and its connection to other texts - especially glossed classical texts, the Glossa ordinaria and the writings of Peter Lombard - are explored. Gilbert's Commentary is a text critical for the understanding of the development of the discipline of theology in the twelfth century schools.

'Uglow makes us feel the life beyond the facts.' GUARDIAN 'Few can match Uglow's skill at conjuring up a scene, or illuminating a character.' SUNDAY TIMES 'Charming . . . Like Radio 4's shipping forecast for naturalists.' Andrea Wulf, FINANCIAL TIMES 'A glorious celebration of curiosity and nature.' OBSERVER A BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE TIMES, THE SPECTATOR, FINANCIAL TIMES, OBSERVER AND NEW STATESMAN In 1781, Gilbert White was a [humble or synonym] country curate. He was also halfway to completing his path-breaking The Natural History of Selborne. No one had written like this before, with such close observation, humour, and sympathy. His spellbinding book has remained in print ever since, treasured by generations of readers. It would lead many to consider him 'the father of ecology'. Jenny Uglow illuminates this quirky, warm-hearted man. Tracing a single year of his daily fascination with the fauna, flora and people around him, she accompanies Gilbert from frost to summer drought, from the migration of birds to the sex lives of snails and the coming of harvest. Fresh, alive and original A Year with Gilbert White invites us to see the natural world anew, with astonishment and wonder. 'A feast of a book, it is beautifully illustrated and compulsively readable.'LITERARY REVIEW 'The author brings her subject endearingly alive . . . [an] enriching book.' NATURE

Published in 1901, this illustrated two-volume biography of the renowned English naturalist Gilbert White (1720–93) presents a thorough account of his life and achievements. Prepared by White's great-great-nephew Rashleigh Holt-White (1826–1920), it incorporates a selection of White's correspondence with family and friends, providing valuable insights into his beliefs and character. Included are letters sent by White's lifelong friend John Mulso (1721–91), who praised the naturalist's work, predicting it would 'immortalise' White and his Hampshire village. Still considered a classic text, The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne (1789), featuring White's careful observations of local flora and fauna, is also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection. In the present work, Holt-White sought to correct the 'erroneous statements' that had previously been made about his relative. Volume 1 covers White's life and achievements up to August 1776, including his studies at Oxford and his ordination as a priest.
