De Spiritualib[us] Nupciis Available Online
The Burns Library's earliest printed book, Jean Gerson's De Spiritualib[us] Nupciis (On Spiritual Marriage), is now available in a digital edition. The topic of this short, 80 page quarto-sized book is a commentary on one of the shortest books of the Old Testament, the Song of Songs, or Song of Solomon. This commentary is by Jean Charlier de Gerson (1363-1429), mystical theologian, university reformer, poet, man of letters, apologist for Joan of Arc, and from 1395 until his death, Chancellor of the University of Paris. Gerson spent his entire life in the service of the Church both as an educator and as a major force of the Conciliar movement.
Faculty Publication Highlight
This volume brings together a group of leading international scholars to discuss how US-China-EU relations will shape the future of international politics. Arguing that these three powers will play a key role in establishing and managing a new world order, the contributors examine how a future global order is developed by the interaction of these leading actors in the international system. The book shows that the US-China-EU triangular configuration is a pivotal relationship for understanding contemporary international relations.
