Full textFallows, Brown, Montagna, Kenney, Perkins and others have discussed the transformation of the style of the chanson over the course of the 15th century. Little has been written specifically on the period of the Laborde chansonnier. With reference to musical features such as melodic style, imitation, cadences, metrical structure, role of the contratenor, and range of note values, I discuss the style of the chansons, first in general, and then layer by layer, charting the changes in a crucial period. Although these changes are gradual, it is possible to follow the development of the chanson during the period between 1450 and the beginning of the sixteenth century.
The Laborde Chansonnier contains twenty-five unica, of which four have appeared in modern editions, and one of which is incomplete. I have transcribed the other twenty and also four other chansons which I could not find in modern editions. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textThis dissertation provides a new assessment of Charles Bordes and Vincent d'Indy's respective biographies and demonstrates that many of the right-wing programming tendencies at the Schola should be attributed to Bordes. The importance of personal networks is emphasized in most of the dissertation. In addition to providing information on an unprecedented number of Schola concert types, this dissertation identifies the importance of looking to revivals of seventeenth-century music after 1898. For this repertoire provided an analogue for Ferdinand Brunetiere's ideas of an ideal, seventeenth-century French. An important shift in concert type and repertoire after 1904 provides a new window on d'Indy biography and underscores the transformation of the French public's musical values around the same time. The Schola's role in the reform of sacred music has been over estimated. The papal motu proprio of 1903 only reiterated instructions on sacred music previously handed down by the Sacred Congregation of Rites in 1894 and it was probably not directed specifically at the Parisian Schola Cantorum. The Schola's concerts of early music became sites for the expression of cultural difference. Much like many concerts exclusively devoted to this repertoire---and unlike many events that combined early and contemporary music---the "Frenchness" expressed at these events was intended to remain beyond the grasp of the average French citizen.

Full textFrom the privileged and complete documentary collection of the Deputació del General de Catalunya, we study comparatively this institution in relation to similar corporations existing during the late medieval and modern times of Western Europe (Brabant, Venaissin and Navarre). Taking into account the regulations contained in the Llibre de Quatre Senyals, which articulates the legal system of the Generalitat from the reform of 1413, our research highlights all those previous provisions compiled in the Llibre de Vuit Senyals that outlined the origins and first steps of the Diputació del General de Catalunya between the end of the 13th century and 1413.The primary objective of this thesis has been to raise and achieve a research framework that has led to the localization of the manuscript, known but not identified, which, on the other hand, has provoked an adequate edition of its content and a study complementary to all the technical, legal or historical issues arising from it. The institutional framework detailed by the manuscript is also analyzed, which explains how the Generalitat emerges from the process of emancipation of the estates, giving rise to processes and structures aimed at limiting and prohibiting the royal intervention in different matters, as well as giving rise not only in Catalonia but in other parts of Europe the phenomenon of legal pactism and political dualism, exposed in more detail through the analysis of the appointment of the commissions of the estates.

Full textDisertacijoje siekta ištirti XV–XVI a. trečio ketvirčio Vilniaus ir Žemaičių vyskupijų parapinę dvasininkiją, kaip specifinę socialinę grupę. Pasitelkus beveik visus prieinamus šaltinius ir apibendrinus daugelį pavienių žinučių ieškota atsakymų į tokius klausimus kaip, ar buvo vietinės kilmės dvasininkų; kokių socialinių sluoksnių atstovai pasirinkdavo dvasininko luomą; kiek jie efektyviai atliko sielovadinį darbą – ar rezidavo, ar turėjo šventimus; kiek paisė celibato ir kitų dvasininkų gyvenimo būdui keltų reikalavimų. Taip pat siekta ištirti parapinės dvasininkijos ryšius su hierarchiškai aukštesniais dvasininkais bei kitus veiksnius, formavusius bendrą luominę savimonę. Tyrimas leido pakoreguoti kai kuriuos lig šiol istoriografijoje kartotus stereotipus, o kai kurias istorikų įžvalgas patvirtino šaltinių duomenimis. Vilniaus ir Žemaičių vyskupijų diecezinė dvasininkija jau XV a. buvo integrali visuotinės Bažnyčios dalis. Daugelis išskirtų svarbiausių tendencijų buvo būdingos visai ikitridentinei katalikų dvasininkijai: nenuoseklus pasirengimas kunigystei, tiek dvasininkų, tiek pasauliečių atsainus požiūris į kunigišką discipliną, rezidavimo problema, atskirtis tarp aukštųjų dvasininkų laikiusių parapijas ir paprastų klebonų. Kita vertus, vėlyvas šalies krikštas bei krašto socialinės sanklodos ypatybes teikė Vilniaus ir Žemaičių vyskupijų parapinei dvasininkijai savito kolorito: dvasininkų skaičius čia buvo mažesnis; menkesnė buvo ir parapijose veikusios dvasininkijos...

Full textPh.D.
The purpose of this dissertation is to produce a critical edition of Álvaro de Luna's 15th century manuscript, Libro de las claras e virtuosas mugeres. This Castilian text is a compilation of biographies of good and virtuous women similar to that of the widely studied De claris mulieribus by Giovanni Boccaccio. Scholars however, have neglected Luna's version for various reasons that are discussed within this dissertation. Libro de las claras e virtuosas mugeres is a significant work because it complements other texts within the genre of defense literature and provides a good argument against the misogynistic texts in the debate on women in the Middle Ages. Within this dissertation, the Introduction serves to orient the reader through the debate on women in 15th century Castile and to contextualize the Libro de las claras e virtuosas mugeres within it. Through the discussion of the debate on women in medieval Iberia, we will show how Luna's work is a necessary, but forgotten element. Also pertinent is the notorious past of don Álvaro, and how this has negatively impacted the reception of his work. This dissertation also compiles all critical studies and editions currently in print and discusses their merits. Finally in the Introduction, we explain how we took into account Bernard Cerquiglini's concept of variance and John Dagenais' theory that in order to come close to the medieval reading of the text, it is necessary to replicate the manuscripts, not to modernize them. Thus, we produced transcriptions that were as close to the original texts as possible, rather than attempting to correct or modernize them. In order to produce the critical edition necessary for a proper study of the Libro de las claras e virtuosas mugeres, this dissertation contains two transcriptions of the two oldest extant manuscripts: ms. B (2654) and ms. S (207). Within ms. B we also provide a critical apparatus, which shows the lexical and orthographical differences between the two. Additionally for the benefit of the reader, we provide four Appendices: the missing chapter of the Queen of Sheba (not included in ms. B), a list of all the women Luna included in his work, and facsimilar samples of both manuscripts. It is our desire to promote a renewed interest in this forgotten, yet extremely important 15th century Castilian manuscript.

Full textThe present study addresses the practice of astrology and its cultural repercussions in the 14th and 15th centuries’ Portuguese court. The research is based in the comparative study of three sets of sources: 1) the astrology books from the royal libraries, which reveal the dominant concepts of astrology; 2) the writings of kings João I and Duarte, and prince Pedro, as examples of the practical application of these concepts; 3) the royal chronicles of Fernão Lopes, Gomes Eanes de Zurara and Rui de Pina, as examples of its presence in political discourse. The astrological references occur in three main contexts: the validation of power, the explanation of manners and the debate about determinism-versus-free will. The latter stands as the main fracturing topic in medieval astrology. In any case, the validity of astrology by itself was never in question; the debate revolved only around its limits and its legitimacy in face of Christian faith. Astrology was seen as a sophisticated art, practiced by learned men. Its foundation was the scientific understanding of the natural laws and its practitioners tried to demarcate themselves from common divination and superstition. Due to its pervasiveness in this period, it can be concluded that astrology is an essential factor for the understanding of Portuguese medieval life. The study of the astrological practice, from the perspective of the History of Culture and Mentalities, offers new insights to the understanding of the medieval period.

"Elements of continuity between mathematical writings from the Song-Yuan (13th - 14th Century) Dynasties and the Ming Dynasty (15th Century) : Comparing Yang Hui's Mathematical Methods (1261 C.E.) and Wu Jing’s Great Compendium (1450 C.E.)." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCC333.
Full textThe discourse of “break” between the mathematics of the Song-Yuan period and that of the Ming period is quite widespread in the historical writings dealing with mathematics in China. This thesis analyzes the process and the reasons of the shaping of this kind of discourse and suggests that discourses that insisted on a “break” only appeared when observers looked at mathematics from certain viewpoints. This thesis is devoted to finding elements of continuity between the mathematics of the Ming dynasty and that of the Song-Yuan time period. The Nine Chapters on Mathematical Procedures (thereafter, The Nine Chapters) represented a very important book during these two periods. The completion date of The Nine Chapters in the form that was handed down is placed somewhere between the first century B.C.E. and the first century C.E. Yang Hui’s Mathematical Methods (1261 C.E.) and Wu Jing’s Great Compendium (1450 C.E.) are extant and precious mathematical writings from the two periods considered, which were based precisely on The Nine Chapters and its ancient commentaries. With respect to the continuity of mathematical text between these two books, my dissertation offers case studies that show that Wu Jing systematically took parts of the text of Mathematical Methods to compile Great Compendium. The rule by which text was extracted from each chapter could be used to partly recover Yang Hui’s text. With respect to the continuity of mathematical ideas, firstly, the arrangement and the order of problems are essential results of the Song scholar’s treatment of The Nine Chapters. They were taken up by Wu Jing when he arranged problems in Great Compendium. Secondly, Yang Hui laid a great emphasis on “mathematical methods”. He added some new mathematical methods and also changed some methods in The Nine Chapters. Wu Jing understood these changes and adopted them in his Great Compendium. Meanwhile, some mathematical concepts and terms, and the use of diagrams, relating to these mathematical methods that the Song scholar introduced, were also absorbed into Great Compendium. All these findings prove that The Nine Chapters that circulated in the Ming dynasty had been largely permeated by the thoughts of the Song scholar
