For a late medieval German translation I can refer you to: BUIJSSEN Gerard Harrie Durandus' Rationale in spa"tmittelhochdeutscher U"ber- setzung, nach der Handschrift CVP 2765, Assen: van van Gorcum, 1966-83 (= Studia theodisca 6, 13, 15, 16), 4 vols. For modern translations or partial translations I have: BARTHE/LE/MY Charles Rational ou manuel des divins offices de Guillaume Durand, e/ve^que de Mende au treizie\me sie\cle, ou raisons mystiques et historiques de la liturgie catho- lique, trad. pour la premie\re fois du latin en franc,ais par Charles Barthe/le/my, pre/ce/de/ d'une notice historique sur la vie et sur les e/crits de Durand de Mende; suivi d'une bibliographie chronologi- que des principaux ouvrages qui traitent de la liturgie catholique..., Paris: Vive\s, 1854. NEALE/WEBB The symbolism of churches and church ornaments. A translation of the first book of the Rationale divinorum officiorum written by William Durandus, with an introduc- tory essay, notes, and illustrations, by John Mason Neale and Benjamin Webb, Leeds: T. W. Green, 1843, cxxv+252 pp.; also London: Gibbingings, 1906, cxxvii+195 pp. PASSMORE T. H. Durandus on the sacred vestments: An English rendering of the third book of the Rationale divinorum officiorum of Durandus, Bishop of Mende, A.D. 1287, with notes, London: Thomas Baker, 1899(?), xxix+188 pp. Since the many, many early prints of the _Rationale_ where often 'emended' by their editors or interpolated with other materials, I would not use any translation without checking its basis in the textual tradition. A critical edition has been started recently (but I myself have not yet seen it and don't believe that is already complete) by A. Davril and T. M. Thibodeau, _Guillelmi Duranti Rationale divinorum officiorum_, Turnhout: Brepols, 1995-? (= Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Medievalis, 140) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Otfried Lieberknecht, Schoeneberger Str. 11, D-12163 Berlin Tel.: ++49 30 8516675 (fax on request), E-mail: [log in to unmask] Homepage for Dante Studies: http://members.aol.com/lieberk/welcome.html ORB Dante Alighieri: A Guide to Online Resources: http://orb.rhodes.edu/encyclop/culture/lit/Italian/Danindex.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
