Religion, Colonization and Decolonization in Congo, 1885-1960
Religion in today's Democratic Republic of Congo has many faces: from the overflowing seminaries and Marian shrines of the Catholic Church to the Islamic brotherhoods, from the healers of Kimban-guism to the televangelism of the booming Pentecostalist churches in the great cities, from the Orthodox communities of Kasai to the 'invisible' Mai Mai warriors in the brousse of Kivu. During the colonial period religion was no less central to people's lives than it is today. More surprisingly, behind the...

Knighthood and society in the High Middle Ages
In popular imagination few phenomena are as strongly associated with medieval society as knighthood and chivalry.

In this volume leading scholars explore various aspects of knightly identity, taking into account both commonalities and particularities across Western Europe. Knighthood and Society in the High Middle Ages...

Studies in Latin literature and epigraphy in Italian fascism
This book deals with the use of Latin as a literary and epigraphic language under Italian Fascism (1922-1943).

This collection deepens our understanding of 'Fascist Latinity', presents a range of previously little-known material, and opens up a number of new avenues of research. The chapters explore the pivotal role of Latin in constructing...

Peter de Rivo on chronology and the calendar
Peter de Rivo (c.1420-1499), a renowned philosopher active at the University of Leuven, is today mostly remembered for his controversial role in the quarrel over future contingents (1465-1475). Much less known are his contributions to historical chronology, in particular his attempts to determine the dates of Christ's birth and death. In 1471, Peter made an original contribution to this long-standing discussion with his Dyalogus de temporibus Christi, which reconciles conflicting views by rewriting...

Una lingua morta per letterature vive
il dibattito sul Latino come lingua letteraria in età moderna e contemporanea; atti del convegno internazionale di studi (roma, 10-12 dicembre 2015)
La straordinaria polifonia di lingue che caratterizza le letterature nazionali di età moderna è ormai un dato acquisito nelle più aggiornate ricostruzioni di storia letteraria. Meno nota è forse la dialettica vivace che innerva questo delicato equilibrio, nel quale - almeno in Italia - si inseriscono a pieno titolo i dialetti. I lavori raccolti in questo volume, che trae origine da un convegno organizzato dal Ludwig Boltzmann Institut für Neulateinische Studien, si propongono di fare il punto...
