ABSTRACT Nicholas of Cusa (1401–1464) devoted Sermones 55 and 71 to considering the episode in Luke’s Gospel on Mary having chosen the better part instead of her sister Martha (Luke 10. 38–42), though those sermons were preached on 15 August, the feast of the Virgin Mary’s Assumption (1445–46). He also considered that episode within two other sermons: Sermon 5 on the feast of John the Baptist (24 June) and Sermon 8 for Mary’s Assumption, both preached earlier in his career in 1431. This essay also engages Meister Eckhart’s German Predigten 2 and 86. Eckhart (c. 1260–1328) broke with the conventional wisdom that Mary chose the better part by saying Martha enjoyed greater freedom and fulfilment than Mary because the older sister married prayer and service. Thus he offered an untraditional exegesis. While most patristic and medieval exegetes focused on the words good, better, best, or the vita mixta, Eckhart and Cusanus emphasized the action of choosing: the free human will of reviewing options and then choosing wisely from among a variety of paths. For Eckhart, it is Martha who chooses well. For Cusanus, it is her sister Mary. Though Eckhart likely had no Greek and Cusanus only some, their exegesis was more in line with the Koine tēn agathēn merida exelexato (τὴν ἀγαθὴν μϵρίδα ἐξϵλέξατο) than the Vulgate optimam partem eligit.

graph in modern Vicent scholarship. In their absence, this reviewer will comment on both issues. At the regional level, there is a resurgence of the Catalán and Valencià languages in the eastern coastal area of Spain, known also as the Països Catalans, that broadly includes the Balearic Islands. Without becoming embroiled in linguistic debates in those regions, I do understand and recognize the importance of Catalán/Valencià for the identity and culture of the people that live there. This language group has an impressive number of speakers that is hardly marginal or a dying language. On another front this book has a critical place in Vicent scholarship. It adds to prior studies whose focus was on precise regions or stages of Vicent’s many preaching missions. One hopes that this will inspire others to carry out similar studies to help us attain a comprehensive view of the life and work of the most ubiquitous preacher of the late Middle Ages. Tomás Martínez Romero is to be lauded for such a splendid volume that is well written, and whose transcription of the Latin text and translation of the sermons is exemplary. We hope that he continues to pursue more Vicentian research and publish his findings for us to grow in our understanding of Vicent Ferrer and his era. Lastly, the publisher deserves kudos for producing an attractive volume that includes twenty-two high quality photographs that grace its pages throughout and we greatly appreciate making the volume affordable for all.

RÉSUMÉ L’article présente une analyse de la traduction vers l’ancien français des sermons latins de saint Bernard. En même temps, cet échantillon vise à proposer une méthode de comparaison entre le texte source et le texte cible permettant de mesurer le degré de fidélité d’une traduction. Les sermons de saint Bernard sur le Cantique des Cantiques se prêtent parfaitement à ce type d’analyse, puisque leur traduction est généralement jugée fidèle.

ABSTRACT (EN) Two sermon collections by thirteenth-century French preacher Nicolas de Hacqueville have been preserved, one containing a de tempore series and the other a de sanctis series. This essay offers a list, description, and analysis of the exempla used in both collections. It puts this into perspective with the use of exempla in the additional texts found in one of the witnesses, manuscript Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Latin 15957, which contains both collections by Nicolas, and gives us some insight into the practices and expectations of users of the manuscript.
13世纪法国传教士尼古拉斯·德·阿克维尔(Nicolas de Hacqueville)的两本讲道集被保存下来，其中一本包含了de tempore系列，另一本包含了de sanctis系列。这篇文章提供了一个列表，描述，并分析了两个集合中使用的例子。它通过在见证人之一的手稿巴黎，法国国家图书馆，拉丁文15957中发现的额外文本中使用范例来看待这一点，其中包含了尼古拉斯的两个收藏，并使我们对手稿用户的实践和期望有了一些了解。
