The Unfinished Manuscript: A Poetics of Incompletion in the Ming-Qing Transition
What makes a manuscript unfinished? Qian Qianyi’s 錢謙益 (1582–1664) Collection of My Own Roast ( Wu zhi ji 吾炙集) reveals the significance of the “unfinished book” ( wei wan zhi shu 未完之書) as a concept in Qing literature. I show how readers approached the incompletion of Qian’s anthology—a now neglected collection of poems by present-day poets—as a self-conscious and meaningful act of editorial expression. Collection of My Own Roast not only promotes …

Poetry for Music: The Art of the Medieval Prosula

Beneventan and Milanese Chant
In 1058 Pope Stephen IX visited Montecassino, of which he had been made abbot only shortly before his elevation to the papacy the previous year. This German Pope was the former papal chancellor Frederick of Lorraine, the second northern abbot of Montecassino. On the occasion of this visit the Pope strictly forbade the singing at Montecassino of ‘Ambrosian chant’: ‘Tune etiam et Ambrosianum cantum in ecclesia ista cantari penitus interdixit.’
