The Reception of John Chrysostom in Early Modern Europe

The Reception of John Chrysostom in Early Modern Europe

Translating and Reading a Greek Church Father from 1417 to 1624

By: Sam Kennerley

The Reception of John Chrysostom in Early Modern Europe explores when, how, why, and by whom one of the most influential Fathers of the Greek Church was translated and read during a particularly significant period in the reception of his works. This was the period between the first Neo-Latin translation of Chrysostom in 1417 and the final volume of Fronton du Duc’s Greek-Latin edition in 1624, years in which readers and translators from Renaissance Italy, the Byzantine Empire, and the Basel, Paris, and Rome of a newly-confessionalised Europe found in Chrysostom everything from a guide to Latin oratory, to a model interpreter of Paul. By drawing on evidence that ranges from Greek manuscripts to conciliar acts, this book contextualises the hundreds of translations and editions of Chrysostom that were produced in Europe between 1417 and 1624, while demonstrating the lasting impact of these works on scholarship about this Church Father today.

Rome and the Maronites in the Renaissance and Reformation

The Formation of Religious Identity in the Early Modern Mediterranean

By: Sam Kennerley

Rome and the Maronites in the Renaissance and Reformation provides the first in-depth study of contacts between Rome and the Maronites during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. This book begins by showing how the church unions agreed at the Council of Ferrara-Florence (1438-1445) led Catholics to endow an immense amount of trust in the orthodoxy of Christians from the east. Taking the Maronites of Mount Lebanon as its focus, it then analyses how agents in the peripheries of the Catholic world struggled to preserve this trust into the early sixteenth century, when everything changed. On one hand, this study finds that suspicion of Christians in Europe generated by the Reformation soon led Catholics to doubt the past and present fidelity of the Maronites and other Christian peoples of the Middle East and Africa. On the other, it highlights how the expansion of the Ottoman Empire caused many Maronites to seek closer integration into Catholic religious and military goals in the eastern Mediterranean. By drawing on previously unstudied sources to explore both Maronite as well as Roman perspectives, this book integrates eastern Christianity into the history of the Reformation, while re-evaluating the history of contact between Rome and the Christian east in the early modern period. It is essential reading for scholars and students of early modern Europe, as well as those interested in the Reformation, religious history, and the history of Catholic Orientalism.

Strengthening MDIs

The Role of Management Development Institutions in Public Service Reform

By: Sam Agere

The Management Development Institutes were established soon after Independence in most of the African countries. Their role was to provide training, consultancy and research services to the governments, particularly to the indigenous people who had assumed senior positions in the machinery of state. The purpose of this publication is to identify ways and means by which Management Development Institutes can better facilitate the public service reform process. It is intended for public sector training institutions, managers, administrators, training consultants, donors and practitioners. It covers typical problems, offering an approach to the issues, including: training still tends to be treated as a discrete event rather than an integral part of human resource management and development; the training function is seldom regarded by managers as a matter of their concern; training policies may not exist and, where they do, they often bear little relationship to wider development policies or tend not to be implemented; training needs are seldom assessed accurately or tend not to be acted upon; the design of training programmes too often ignores both policy and needs and may rely too heavily on borrowed models.

Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes & Nocturnes 30th Anniversary Edition

By: Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman's seminal series, THE SANDMAN, celebrates its 30th anniversary with an all-new edition of THE SANDMAN VOL. 1: PRELUDES & NOCTURNES! New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman's transcendent series THE SANDMAN is often hailed as the definitive Vertigo title and one of the finest achievements in graphic storytelling. Gaiman created an unforgettable tale of the forces that exist beyond life and death by weaving ancient mythology, folklore and fairy tales with his own distinct narrative vision. In PRELUDES & NOCTURNES, an occultist attempting to capture Death to bargain for eternal life traps her younger brother Dream instead. After his 70 year imprisonment and eventual escape, Dream, also known as Morpheus, goes on a quest for his lost objects of power. On his arduous journey Morpheus encounters Lucifer, John Constantine, and an all-powerful madman. This book also includes the story "The Sound of Her Wings," which introduces us to the pragmatic and perky goth girl Death. Collects THE SANDMAN #1-8.
