    Pour l'Amour du Ciel
    La mort, le péché et l'Au-delà dans les écrits de Thomas More
                                                                               NEW
    Author : Marie-Claire PHELIPPEAU
    Preface by Germain Marc'hadour – Moreana Editions, 426 p.

    Why did Thomas More repeatedly refuse to sign Henry VIII's oath, until he had no choice but suffer a traitor's death? For heaven's sake!
    Marie-Claire Phélippeau does not research the political motivations that justified More's opposition to his sovereign but the spiritual reasons that led him to prefer martyrdom.
    The analysis draws on the history of ideas and mentalities taking into account the evolution of the conception of death and sin in Western thought.
    The polemics due to the advance of the Reformers' ideas led More to affirm his demanding conception of salvation, defending against Luther the notion of personal merit.
    Pour l'Amour du Ciel draws on the whole of Thomas More's life and writings, to follow and explain his unique albeit diverse desire of heaven.

    Medieval Heroes for Modern Times :
    Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, Christopher Columbus                                                                       

    Author : Anonymous. Italian-English bilingual edition of an unpublished Italian 16th century poem.  Introduction, notes and translation into English by Stelio Cro – Moreana Editions, 87 p.

    This poem of 712 lines is an anonymous work, probably written in 1550, which relates the “parallel lives” of two heroes linked to the Discovery of the New World, Gonzalo de Córdoba, known as El Gran Capitán, who had earlier on fought for the Reconquista, and Christopher Columbus. “The two characters represent the two faces of the coin. The Great Captain is the foreign heir of the Cid, fighting and conquering Italy for his Kings; Columbus is the new man, a magnificent representative of the Renaissance and of Christian Humanism”. The poem praises the heroes who made Spain a great kingdom and changed the face of the world.
