  1. Church and People: England 1450-1660 (Blackwell Classic Histories of England): (09 June 1999)This book provides readers with an account of the rivalry between the two kingdoms of Church and State between the years 1450 and 1660. England inherited, from medieval times, two systems of authority: the Church, governed by Pope and Bishops; and the State, ruled by Monarch and Lords. However, from the late fourteenth century onwards, this division was increasingly challenged by the laity's insistence on their right to choose not only between different systems of Church government but also between different forms of religious belief. The author charts the rivalry between clergy and laity's and shows how political and social developments between 1450 and 1660 were decisively influenced by this conflict. This second edition includes updates throughout the text in the light of recent scholarship and a new bibliography.C laire Cross

  3. New evidence of noble and gentry piety in fifteenth-cent ury England and Wales: Journal of Medieval History, Vol. 34, No. 1. (March 2008), pp. 23-35.There has been much recent examination of late medieval lay piety in order to understand the background to Henry VIII's reformation, notably Colin Richmond's studies of the `privatised' religion of the English gentry. Such work has largely over-looked papal sources and the associated issue of relations between English and Welsh society and the papacy. This article seeks to remedy this neglect by presenting new evidence from the registers of the papal penitentiary. In the late middle ages the papal penitentiary was the highest office in the western Church concerned with matters of conscience and the principal source of papal absolutions, dispensations and licences. Petitions seeking such favours were copied in its registers, and this article especially concerns petitions from English and Welsh gentry seeking licences to have a portable altar or to appoint a personal confessor (littere confessionales ). It also examines their requests for various other favours that illustrate their piety, notably regarding fasting, chastity and pilgrimage. The article contests Richmond's notion of `privatised' gentry religion and similar distinctions between elite and popular or personal and collective religion. It appends translations of three significant documents from the penitentiary registers and a statistical table concerning requests for littere confessionales .Peter Clarke

  4. Secretaries of God: Women Prophets in Late Medieval and Early Modern England (Library of Medieval Women): (03 May 2001)Diane Watt sets aside the conventional hiatus between the medieval and early modern periods in her study of women's prophecy, following the female experience from medieval sainthood to radical Protestantism. The English women prophets and visionaries whose voices are recovered here all lived between the twelfth and the seventeenth centuries and claimed, through the medium of trances and eucharistic piety, to speak for God. They include Margery Kempe and the medieval visionaries, Elizabeth Barton (the Holy Maid of Kent), the Reformation martyr Anne Askew and other godly women described in John Foxe's Acts and Monuments, and Lady Eleanor Davies as an example of a woman prophet of the Civil War. The strategies women devised to be heard and read are exposed, showing that through prophecy they were often able to intervene in the religious and political discourse of the their times: the role of God's secretary gave them the opportunity to act and speak autonomously and publicly.

  5. The Stripping of the Altars: Traditional Religion in England,1400-1 580: (11 March 2005)This prize-winning account of the pre-Reformatio n church recreates lay people?s experience of religion in fifteenth-cent ury England. Eamon Duffy shows that late medieval Catholicism was neither decadent nor decayed, but was a strong and vigorous tradition, and that the Reformation represented a violent rupture from a popular and theologically respectable religious system. For this edition, Duffy has written a new Preface reflecting on recent developments in our understanding of the period. From reviews of the first edition: ?A magnificent scholarly achievement [and] a compelling read.??Patrici a Morrison, _Financial Times _?Deeply imaginative, movingly written, and splendidly illustrated. . . . Duffy?s analysis . . . carries conviction.??M aurice Keen, _New York Review of Books _?This book will afford enjoyment and enlightenment to layman and specialist alike.??Peter Heath, _Times Literary Supplement _?[An] astonishing and magnificent piece of work.??Edward T. Oakes, _Commonweal_E Duffy

  8. Women, Reading, and Piety in Late Medieval England (Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature): (09 March 2006)Mary Erler traces networks of female book ownership and exchange which have so far been obscure, and shows how women were responsible for owning as well as circulating devotional books. Seven narratives of individual women who lived between 1350 and 1550 are enclosed by an overview of nuns' reading and their surviving books, and a survey of women who owned the first printed books in England. An appendix lists a number of books not previously attributed to female ownership.Mary Erler

  10. The Impact of the Lambda Calculus in Logic and Computer Science: The Bulletin of Symbolic Logic, Vol. 3, No. 2. (1997), pp. 181-215.One of the most important contributions of A. Church to logic is his invention of the lambda calculus. We present the genesis of this theory and its two major areas of application: the representation of computations and the resulting functional programming languages on the one hand and the representation of reasoning and the resulting systems of computer mathematics on the other hand.Henk Barendregt
