Autorenporträt
Claire Fanger teaches in the department of Religion at Rice University, where she works on Latin Christianity in the later middle ages and on the history of magic, especially angel magic. She has published other interpretive work on John of Morigny including a book, Rewriting Magic (2015), and a number of articles. She has also written on medieval Latin philosophical epics by Alan of Lille and Bernard Silvestris, on the poet John Gower, and on figures in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century occult revival. She has edited two collections of essays on texts and manuscripts of magic in the middle ages: Invoking Angels (2012) and Conjuring Spirits (1998). Among her current projects is an English translation of John's Flowers of Heavenly Teaching (also with Nicholas Watson). Nicholas Watson teaches medieval literature and the history of Christianity at Harvard University. He is the author of Richard Rolle and the Invention of Authority (1991). He edited The Idea of the Vernacular: An Anthology of Middle English Literary Theory 1280-1520 (1999) with Jocelyn Wogan-Browne and others, and The Writings of Julian of Norwich (2006) with Jacqueline Jenkins. He is editor or co-editor of four other books, and author of some fifty articles on late medieval religious writing, mysticism, visions and visionaries, historical sociolinguistics, and literary theory. At present, he is in the process of completing a monograph, Vernacular Theology Before the English Reformation: Balaam's Ass, and an English translation of John of Morigny's work (also with Claire Fanger).
