Intertextuality and the Purpose of Joseph Smith’s New Translation of the Bible
No full textJoseph Smith’s Bible revision project has existed on the canonical periphery of LDS scripture since its inception. In “Intertextuality and Joseph Smith’s New Translation of the Bible,” Thomas Wayment explores the beginning moments of the Bible revision by exploring the first document produced as part of the project and how it led Smith to re-envision the Bible. The Bible project initially sought to expand upon a “revelation . . . which God spake to Moses.” As the Bible revision project took shape over a three-year period, other interests emerged, such as re-envisioning the Old Testament as a Christian epic, and a subsequent effort to improve the readability of the King James Version of the Bible. Wayment charts the changing texture of the Bible revision project through time.</p
Christian Teachers in Matthew and Thomas: The Possibility of Becoming a Master
No full textDuring the latter half of the first century C.E. the communities of Matthew and Thomas began to consider the proper role of the Christian teacher within the community. As each community sought to develop its own model, it drew upon available sayings of Jesus. The author of Matthew had access to Q 6.40, which offered an incomplete model of what a Christian teacher should do. Matthew sought to expand this model using the figure of Peter as the ideal disciple for the community. The authors of Thomas found this model completely untenable and offered their own model in direct conversation with Matthew 16. The model of the Thomas community was that the teacher could supplant and become equal to the master teacher Jesus. In a final clarifying effort the author of Matthew 23 sought to establish the proper role of teachers using the context of Jewish sectarian controversies. The correction offered by Matthew 23 intended to clarify many ambiguities associated with Christian teachers, including the contradictory model offered by Thomas Christians

Western medieval legal manuscripts in the collections of the University of Pennsylvania
No full textWestern legal manuscripts of the Middle Ages in North American collections are among the least known to scholars. The University of Pennsylvania has a rich collection of these texts, several of which were in the collection of the historian Henry Charles Lea. Included are works of civil law and canon law, as well as collections of papal letters and guides to pastoral care. The descriptions of most of these manuscripts in the catalog of Norman P. Zacour and Rudolf Hirsch are perfunctory, sometimes erring or omitting valuable information. Other manuscripts were added in recent years in the Lawrence J. Schoenberg Collection. Much of this material is being added to the Franklin online catalog of the University’s libraries, but researchers frequently do not search these digital resources. This article provides more complete guidance to the University’s medieval legal manuscripts than any of the existing catalogs offers, whether in print or online. It also provides updated bibliographic information in print or online. Every manuscript has been examined by the author in situ. Among the important works represented in the collection is the Panormia (a work of canon law often attributed to Ivo of Chartres). Authors present include the curialist Thomas of Capua, canonists Petrus de Braco, William of Pagula, Bernardus Raimundi, Adam of Aldersbach, Raymond of Peñafort, and civil lawyers Baldus de Ubaldis, and Bartolus de Saxoferrato. Three of these manuscripts were owned in the past by Sir Thomas Phillipps
Fingerprints of Thomas More's Epigrammata on English Poetry
No full textThomas More’s Latin epigrams, published with the second edition of Utopia in 1518, were apparently widely read both among contemporary European intellectuals and during the subsequent development of English poetry. With a humble audacity that could engage Classical authors in a Christian posture, More cultivated a literary climate that could retain the earthiness of the middle ages in dialogue with the ancients, and is more responsible for the ensuing expansion of vernacular poetry than perhaps any other Henrican author. This thesis probes the Classical influences and Humanist practices at work in the epigrams, explores their contemporary reception on the continent, and traces their legacy among sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English poets
