Daniel Hobbins is a Professor of History at The Ohio State University (OSU) and an American historian specializing in Medieval France. He has also written in the American Historical Review. In this article, Hobbins writes on Jean Gerson. Although his recent research involves Gerson, Dr. Hobbins' most significant work is ''The Trial of Joan of Arc''. Published scholarly reviews have been universally positive. For example, Wendy Maier of Oakton Community College writes that this "text is suitable for students, scholars, and anyone with an interest in Joan of Arc." Other reviews note the significance of the book as being the "first translation of the trial transcripts in fifty years!"〔''The Trial of Joan of Arc''., By: Kriz, L., ''Library Journal'', 03630277, 15 October 2005, Vol. 130, Issue 17〕 Larissa Juliet Taylor, a professor at Colby College, says "The entire scholarly community will welcome two new books that offer English translations of many Johannine sources--Hobbins' trial translation and introduction, reviewed here, ..."〔''"Daniel Hobbins, trans. and intro."'', Larissa Juliet Taylor H-France Review Vol. 6 (May 2006), No. 64〕 The reviewer thinks that Hobbins' book will be a useful for the classroom, because other editions of the trial transcripts are inadequate in various ways—not enough notes, bad OCR, etc. If this reviewer is correct, Hobbins' book will probably be in use in many college courses. Taylor's review ends: "Daniel Hobbins has provided an extraordinary service to the scholarly and educational community with this outstanding new translation of the Latin trial compilation. Equally important, his critical introduction and notes stand alongside the most valuable recent contributions to scholarship on Joan of Arc." Another positive reviewer refers to the book as "excellent" and "informative." The reviewer asks why "do we need Hobbins' new English translation?" The reasons given in this review by Susan Tiefenbrun are that Hobbins' book is "more reliable" and "more convenient." He "gave guest lectures on Joan of Arc at Bowling Green State University (October 17) and at Ohio Northern University (October 23".〔Gail Summerhill, "Congratulations" October 30, 2007〕 He is the recipient of the Nina Maria Gorrissen Prize and Fellow at the (American Academy in Berlin ) for Fall 2011. ==See also== *Joan of Arc bibliography 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daniel Hobbins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
