	The Lord's First Night: The Myth of the Droit de Cuissage Alain Boureau Lydia G. Cochrane From the late Middle Ages to "The Marriage of Figaro" to Mel Gibson's "Braveheart," the ultimate symbol of feudal barbarism has been the "droit de cuissage," or right of a feudal lord to sleep with the bride of a vassal on her wedding night. The "droit de cuissage" even resurfaced in the debate over the French Penal Code of 1992 as a synonym for sexual harassment. But, as Alain Boureau elegantly demonstrates in this book, the "droit de cuissage" is a myth. Under contextual examination, nearly all the supposed evidence for this custom melts away yet belief in it has survived for seven...

	The Myth of Pope Joan Alain Boureau Lydia G. Cochrane In the ninth century, a brilliant young woman named Joan disguised herself as a man so that she could follow her lover into the then-exclusively male world of scholarship. She proved so successful that she ascended the Catholic hierarchy in Rome and was eventually elected pope. Her pontificate lasted two years, until she became pregnant and died after giving birth during a public procession from the Vatican. Or so the legend goes-a legend that was fabricated sometime in the thirteenth century, according to Alain Boureau, and which has persisted in one form or another down to the present...

Essays on the politician, the soldier, the priest, the farmer, the slave, the merchant, and others together create a fresco of Roman society as it spanned 1300 years.

	Women, Family, and Ritual in Renaissance Italy Christiane Klapisch-Zuber Lydia G. Cochrane David V. Herlihy Christiane Klapisch-Zuber, a brilliant historian of the Annales school, skillfully uncovers the lives of ordinary Italians of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, Tuscans in particular, young and old, rich, middle-class, and poor. From the extraordinarily detailed records kept by Florentine tax collectors and the equally precise ricordanze (household accounts with notations of events great and small), Klapisch-Zuber draws a living picture of the Tuscan household. We learn, for example, how children were named, how wet nurses were engaged, how marriages were negotiated and...

	The History and Power of Writing Henri-Jean Martin Lydia G. Cochrane Cultural history on a grand scale, this immensely readable book-the summation of decades of study by one of the world's great scholars of the book-is the story of writing from its very beginnings to its recent transformations through technology.

	The Dark Abyss of Time: The History of the Earth and the History of Nations from Hooke to Vico Paolo Rossi Lydia G. Cochrane "A rich historical pastiche of 17th- and 18th-century philosophy, science, and religion." G. Y. Craig, "New Scientist " "This book, by a distinguished Italian historian of philosophy, is a worthy successor to the author's important works on Francis Bacon and on technology and the arts. First published in Italian (in 1979), it now makes available to English readers some subtly wrought arguments about the ways in which geology and anthropology challenged biblical chronology and forced changes in the philosophy of history in the early modern era. . . . Rossi] shows that the search for new... "A rich historical pastiche of 17th- and 18th-century philosophy, science, and religion." G. Y. Craig, "New Scientist " "This book, by a distingui...

	Enlightenment Portraits Michel Vovelle Michel Vovelle Lydia G. Cochrane "Enlightenment Portraits" permits us to see direct actors in history, people who took an active part in the collective adventures that put the human being at the center of Western civilizations vision of the world: nobles, priests, functionaries, men of letters, artists, and explorers, also soldiers and women. The Enlightenment's leading figures cast their light in an irregular and unequal way: areas and environments in which new ideas penetrated and took effect alternated with shadowy patches. The fundamental structures of society may have remained stable, but new ways of producing, of...

	Prophecy and People in Renaissance Italy Ottavia Niccoli Lydia G. Cochrane In the midst of the religious ferment, foreign invasions, and internal political strife that beset Italy before the full effects of the Counter-Reformation, the powerful and humble alike turned to popular prophecy for guidance and solace. Ottavia Niccoli examines here the forms of these prophecies--including interpretations of natural disasters, abnormal births, floods, and planetary conjunctions--and gives examples of how they were transmitted from the lower classes to the elite through street singers, apocalyptic preachers, astrologers, and printers. By tracing the ongoing revision of... In the midst of the religious ferment, foreign invasions, and internal political strife that beset Italy before the full effects of the Counter-Ref...

	On the Edge of the Cliff: History, Language and Practices Roger Chartier Lydia G. Cochrane The importance of history has been powerfully reaffirmed in recent years by the appearance of major new authors, pathbreaking works, and fresh interpretations of historical events, trends, and methods. Responding to these developments, Roger Chartier engages several of the most influential writers of cultural history whose works have spread far beyond academic audiences to become part of contemporary cultural argument. Challenging the assertion that history is no more than a -fiction-making operation- Chartier examines the relationships between history and fiction and proposes new...
