A collection of essays in honor of the 500th anniversary of one of the most important Spanish reformers of the time, his life and legacy.
Casiodoro de Reina is one of the most important Spanish reformers, but to this day we know relatively little of his work and theology. Although the literary impact of his translation of the Bible rivals even that of Cervantes, we still know little about the Bear Bible.
This book, with contributions from eleven experts on the Spanish Protestant Reformation and drawing on nearly one hundred works and letters of Casiodoro de Reina that have been ignored by many writers, fills in these gaps and offers new perspectives on Casiodoro de Reina: his pastoral work, his business life, the sources and reception of the Bear Bible, and various themes of his theology, such as Justification and The Holy Supper.
The book is divided into three main blocks by expert historians:
1. Life and works of Casidoro de Reina (Pastor, Teacher and Entrepreneur).
2. The Bear Bible (Old and Old Testament along with non-biblical material).
3. Theological topics (Protestant and its doctrine). -
Alegoria Del Amor – (Spanish)
$21.99Add to cartEsta obra, publicada originalmente en 1936, constituye uno de los trabajos academicos mas influyentes de C. S. Lewis en el campo de la literatura medieval. En ella se desarrolla un profundo estudio sobre la poesia amorosa alegorica de la Edad Media, cuyo origen se situa en los poemas de amor cortes de los trovadores del Languedoc desde el siglo XI, a traves de su transformacion y fin a finales del siglo XVI.
Esta poesia de los trovadores, que constituiria el primer modo de expresion del amor romantico, supuso tal cambio respecto de la literatura precedente que, como el propio Lewis seala, no dejo intocado rincon alguno en nuestra etica, nuestra imaginacion y nuestra vida diaria, erigiendo barreras infranqueables entre nosotros y el pasado clasico o el presente oriental. Comparado con esta revolucion, el Renacimiento es un simple remolino en la superficie de la literatura.
Resulta particularmente relevante dentro del presente ensayo el estudio que Lewis realiza de El libro de la rosa, obra cumbre del genero dentro de la literatura tardo medieval.
The Allegory of Love
This work, originally published in 1936, constitutes one of the most influential academic works of C.S. Lewis in the field of medieval literature. It develops an in-depth study of the allegorical love poetry of the Middle Ages, whose origins lie in the courtly love poems of the Languedoc troubadours in eleventh century, through its transformation and gradual demise at the end of the sixteenth century.
This poetry of the troubadours, which would constitute the first mode of expression of romantic love, supposed such a change with respect to the preceding literature that, as Lewis himself points out, it left no corner untouched in our ethics, our imagination and our lives. daily, erecting insurmountable barriers between us and the classical past or the Eastern present. Compared with this revolution, the Renaissance is a mere whirlpool on the surface of literature.
Lewis’s study of The Book of the Rose, the masterpiece of the genre within late medieval literature, is particularly relevant in this essay.
