People under Power
Early Jewish and Christian Responses to the Roman Empire
Edited by Michael Labahn and Outi Lehtipuu
This volume presents a batch of incisive new essays on the relationship between Roman imperial power and ideology and Christian and Jewish life and thought within the empire. Employing diverse methodologies that include historical criticism, rhetorical criticism, postcolonial criticism, and social historical studies, the contributors offer fresh perspectives on a question that is crucial for our understanding not only of the late Roman Empire, but also of the growth and change of Christianity and Judaism in the imperial period.

Emotions, Passions, and Power in Renaissance Italy
Edited by Fabrizio Ricciardelli and Andrea Zorzi
Emotions depend on language, cultural practices, expectation, and moral beliefs. Hate, fear, cruelty, and love are always turning history into the history of passion and lust, because emotional life is always ready to overflow intellectual life. This fascinating study of emotion in Renaissance Italy shows that emotions are built and created by the society in which they are expressed and conditioned. The contributors examine, among others, the emotional language of the court, around public execution, religious practices and during outbreaks of disease.

De consolatione philosophiae
Edited by Noel Harold Kaylor, Jr. and
Philip Edward Phillips
Vernacular Traditions of Boethius's De consolatione philosophiae provides an overview of the widespread reception and influence of Boethius's masterpiece. Boethius is a significant translator and adaptor of works written originally in Greek, placing him firmly as an important figure at the moment of transition from Antiquity to the Middle Ages. Boethius's modern influence is global in its importance, primarily through the many vernacularisations of his final testament to the world, his Consolatio.

Persecution, Tolerance, and Coexistence is a new open-access, online journal that will appear semi-annually and will publish articles in English, which explore the historical background of ideological, religious, ethnic, racial and sexual persecution and the ways the social-political problems, typical of pluralistic societies, were met by a recurrent concern for tolerance and coexistence in late medieval and early modern Europe. The journal will publish some six articles per issue and will also have a review section for selected books.
