February 3, 2012 - Rencontres Thomas More in Paris
Jacques Mulliez informs us:
On February 4, 2012, the Rencontres Thomas More will take place for the 4th year.
Bernard Bourdin attended as Amici Président, with me, 2 years ago.
Last year, it was Patrick Blin and me.
This year, I represent the Amici and François-Daniel Migeon is at the same time a speaker and a representative of the Thomas More Leader Institute.
Opposite is the program of this meeting of associations of Christian origin... And yes, for information, the downloadable file below, who are the organizers of these Rencontres. See also the web site www.thomasmore.fr. |

December 25, 2011 - Moreana Vol. 48 - 185-186

This issue is rich in poetry and the presence of Fortune. She appears in no fewer than three studies about Thomas More’s Fortune Verses. And in this poetical issue you will discover the whole gamut of human emotions, from life to humor to death. Nathalie Catellani-Dufrêne proposes an analysis and a French translation of the Latin poem Funera, which Jean Second wrote after the death of Thomas More. Susan McLean, in a lighter key, offers her poetical rendering of More’s Latin epigrams. Carle Mock proposes a new comprehensive vision of More’s Fortune Verses and cites H.S. Herbrüggen’s study, which Amos Hunt translates. Gabriela Schmidt, by examining More the translator and the imitator, crosses some of the same paths, creating a pleasant echo within this issue.
And there is much more to discover in this December 2011 issue. |

15 September 2011 - "Medieval Heroes for Modern Times"
.jpg)
Bilingual edition of an unpublished poem order now
This is the first publication of an anonymous Renaissance poem, singing the feats of two Renaissance heroes: Gonzalo de Córdoba (alias The Great Captain), and Christopher Columbus.
The poem will interest the historian with its epic narrative of the various battles fought on the Italian peninsula, when Italy was the highly-coveted prey of its neighbors; it will fascinate with its novel relation of Columbus’ adventures, difficulties and rewards; it will arouse literary curiosity and satisfy the lover of poetry who finds in its well-balanced ottava rima the regular advance of the epic canto.
The poet might have wished to emulate Plutarch’s Parallel Lives, for he recalls in one poem the successive feats of two different heroes. Stelio Cro’s conclusion is that Spain appears here as “the first modern superpower”. Indeed, the great Spaniards serve the glory of their country on a worldwide theater, from Sicily to the Americas.
Stelio Cro’s English translation is proposed opposite the Italian text and enriched with an introduction, short footnotes and longer endnotes.
