الصفحة 161 - J8ut the remarks I might make concerning these legends and fables are worth a place in a separate chapter. It is sufficient for my purpose to indicate here en passant the existence of the histories in question. In recapitulating now what I have just said on the monastic literature of the South from the end of the eighth century to the middle of the ninth, we perceive that it already includes all the germs and rudiments of a new literature. The transition from the habit of making verses or prose in...
الصفحة 261 - ... there is anything in the poem in question which might be construed into an allusion, however vague, to certain historical events, the allusion ought to have reference to this ancient struggle between the Aquitanians and Franks. If it was the main intention of the poet to celebrate the glory and the valor of some military leader, it seems to me, that this leader could only be one of the sovereign dukes of Aquitania, who acquired renown in Gaul, from the end of the sixth to the middle of the eighth...
الصفحة 1 - I shall confine myself to contemplating it on its native soil, and independently of its popularity tn other quarters. The history of Provencal literature, restricted as it ordinarily is, to the poetry of the Troubadours, would only embrace a period of about two hundred and fifty years ; from the end of the eleventh to the middle of the fourteenth centuries.

But it would occupy too much time, and it is not essential for...
الصفحة 64 - Their declamations were studied and ostentation a discourses on fanciful subjects. These declamatory exercises soon became public, and constituted one of the favorite amusements of the times. The effect of these discourses depended, in a great measure, on the pomp and the art -with which they were delivered. We can scarcely, at present, form any conception of an art like this, unless it be from the extraordinary care, with which we know the rhetoricians to have exercised their voice. They trained...

الصفحة 186 - At that time what we might regard as a more 'puritan' ethos had emerged. The community had come through the harrowing experience of exile; God had shown his displeasure with the people once, and might do so again. So the texts relating to worship, in the form in which they have come down to us, are dominated by an awareness of sin, and an anxiety that everything possible might be done to remove the taint caused by sin. This emphasis is very clearly marked in the Psalms, where nearly half of the...
