Building the Presence of the Prince
The Institutions Responsible for the Construction and Management of the Buildings of European Courts (14th-17th Centuries)

Edited by José Eloy Hortal Munoz & Merlijn Hurx
 
By the late Middle Ages, architecture became an increasingly important means of representation of princely rule and institutions. In addition to their symbolic significance, the ruler’s buildings served a host of practical purposes. Obviously, castles and fortresses defended the territory, while urban and rural residences served the itinerant court during its proceedings, but their possessions also comprised a wider network of estates that included infrastructure and agricultural, commercial, industrial, and administrative buildings.

Architectures du monachisme
Une histoire monumentale de l’Île Saint-Honorat de Lérins, Ve-XIIIe siècle

Par Yann Codou
 
L’île Saint-Honorat de Lérins accueille des religieux depuis le début du Ve siècle. Il s’agit d’un haut lieu du monachisme, témoin des expériences ascétiques insulaires qui se développent en Occident durant l’Antiquité tardive. Le caractère exceptionnel de Lérins tient aussi à la longue durée d’occupation du site par des religieux.

Opera de computo a tempore post Gerlandum usque ad Iohannem de Sacrobosco

By Alfred Lohr
 
Calendar calculations held a significant place in medieval education. They were used to determine movable feasts like Easter and Pentecost for a given year, calculate the day of the week for specific dates, and determine the moon’s age, i.e., how many days had passed since the last new moon. 
The current edition includes 15 texts from the period 1103 to 1232, 14 of which have not been printed before. Only the most successful of these texts, written by Johannes de Sacrobosco, was first printed in 1538 and subsequently in many other editions. The rich content of the texts published here is made accessible through several indexes, including an alphabetical subject index.
