"The subject of this study is every Yiddish work from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that is directly or indirectly related to the Bible. The survey begins with the Mirkevet ha-Mishneh, the first published Yiddish book, which is a biblical concordance, published in Cracow, 1534-36, and concludes with the two competing translations of the entire Bible into Yiddish by Yekutiel Blitz and Joseph Witzenhausen, published in Amsterdam, 1676-86. (These were translations without any accompanying commentaries, and were modeled on Protestant Bibles, like the English King James, or the German Luther Bible.) The study includes not only translations of biblical books, but also adaptations, reworkings, and paraphrases of biblical texts, appearing in diverse literary styles, by a wide variety of authors"--

Rasmus Vangshardt offers an original interpretation of one of the most famous images of literary history, the theatrum mundi. By applying methods of comparative literature, hispanic studies, and theology, he reconsiders the world theatre's historical peak in early modern Europe in general and the Spanish Golden Age in particular. The author presents a new close reading of Pedro Calderón's El gran teatro del mundo (c. 1633-36) and outlines the historical and systematic framework for a theatrum mundi of celebration. This concept entails using art to justify human existence in the face of changing conceptions of the cosmos: an early modern aesthetic theodicy and a justification of the world in that liminal space between drama and ritual. By discussing historiographical theories of early modern Europe, especially those of Hans Blumenberg and Bruno Latour, and through conversations with Shakespearean drama and Spanish Golden Age classics, Vangshardt also argues that the theatrum mundi of celebration questions traditional assumptions of great divides between the Middle Ages and Early Modernity and challenges theories of a European-wide early modern sense of crisis.

All of Maeve's world is a stage...Maeve Meriden stays busy, between her career as a drama teacher, and acting for fun at the community theater. Her favorite playwright is Shakespeare, with his mistaken identities, enemies-to-lovers plots, and especially his themes of unrequited love. It mirrors her life because she-along with everyone else- has a crush on Mick, their Bohemian director. And then,she and Mick are approached with an improbable mission by the Ladies of the Labyrinth.And she is just a player...Maeve and Mick are tasked with the job of discovering if the rumors about Shakespeare are true, by actually going back in time. Did he collaborate with a female poet of the same era? Is the Bard, in fact, the Bard-ess? It's like a Shakespearean play come to life and the acting gig of a lifetime. Besides, the Ladies practically proved to her that in Tudor times, she'll find the love of her life.Exit 2023, enter 1592.No matter what year it is the course of true love never did run smooth.The Ladies of the LabyrinthBook 1 - The Veil Between WorldsBook 2 - The Veil of TimeBook 3 - The Season of the Veil

Sixteen years in advance of her widely approved translation of Jewel's Latin Apologia, Anne Cooke introduced a selection of sermons (Prediche) of the former Vicar General of the Capuchins, Bernardino Ochino, to an English readership. The 'Italian Luther', who had refused a summons to appear before Pope Paul III, and fled Italy to Geneva and then Augsburg, had landed in England at the invitation of Archbishop Cranmer in December 1547. Less than a year after his arrival, Sermons of Barnardine Ochine of Sena was printed without the name of the translator, and three years thereafter, Fouretene Sermons of Barnadine Ochyne, concernyng the predestinacion and eleccion of God. Translated out of Italian in to oure natyve tounge by A. C. appeared. Proving her aptitude for translation and eagerness to spread the word of the popular and prolific Italian evangelist, her work on the nineteen sermons forcefully articulates Evangelical and Spirituali tenets: the nature and excellence of antecedent election, lively and deep-seated faith that precedes works, rich citations of biblical texts to buttress claims, a heterodox endorsement of inner spirituality and practical activity, and freedom from obedience to Rome. Two distinct yet curiously similar temperaments blend in these translations. With limited contacts in English, the tormented sixty-year-old truth seeker had thrown off the Capuchin hood and devoted himself to writing. The capable, serious young noblewoman, who fervently espoused the Reform cause, experienced the need to prove and announce herself in a consciously homiletic mode.
