IntroductionIn this Essay I shall argue that one can find aspects of moral education in virtuallyevery subgenre of late medieval and renaissance ballads and that this is probablyone of the main functions for the spreading of the ballads. Despite the fact thatthere are no real fixed and approved subgenres of ballads, I am going to divide theballads I am working with into three different subgenres: religious ballads,supernatural ballads and romances, or to be precise, romance ballads. For eachsubgenre, I will present examples, which share common motifs of late medievaland renaissance ballads and can therefore be marked as traditional ballads fromthat specific period.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Latin Bibles survive in hundreds of manuscripts, one of the most popular books of the Middle Ages. Their innovative layout and organization established the norm for Bibles for centuries to come. This volume is the first study of these Bibles as a cohesive group. Multi- and inter-disciplinary analyses in art history, liturgy, exegesis, preaching and manuscript studies, reveal the nature and evolution of layout and addenda. They follow these Bibles as they were used by monks and friars, preachers and merchants. By addressing Latin Bibles alongside their French, Italian and English counterparts, this book challenges the Latin-vernacular dichotomy to show links, as well as discrepancies, between lay and clerical audiences and their books.Contributors include Peter Stallybrass, Diane Reilly, Paul Saenger, Richard Gameson, Chiara Ruzzier, Giovanna Murano, Cornelia Linde, Lucie Dolezalová, Laura Light, Eyal Poleg, Sabina Magrini, Sabrina Corbellini, Margriet Hoogvliet, Guy Lobrichon, Elizabeth Solopova, and Matti Peikola.…
