Excerpt from History of the Langobards

The History of the Langobards has been translated into German, F rench and Italian, but I was greatly sur prised, when investigating some matters connected with the early history of Venice, in the Marcian library of that city, to find that no English version existed. Mr. Thomas Hodgkin, in Vols. V and VI of Italy and Her Invaders, does indeed make liberal extracts, but the work is one which, from its importance, ought to be presented to English readers entire, hence this transla tion. I have prefixed to it an account of Paul's life and writings, with a historical and literary estimate of his work, and the translation is accompanied by explanatory notes. Waitz's text has been used.'

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and work of a significant historical figure, exploring their contributions as a scholar and writer during a pivotal period in history. The author paints a vivid picture of this individual's journey, from their early education and travels to their monastic life and close relationship with prominent rulers. The book situates the subject's work within the broader context of historical writing in the Middle Ages, highlighting their unique approach to compiling and interpreting sources. It examines their methods, limitations, and the challenges they faced in reconstructing the past, particularly in terms of chronology. Despite these challenges, their dedication to truth and impartiality shines through. The thematic depth of the book extends beyond historical analysis, exploring the subject's cultural influences, linguistic skills, and literary style. The author emphasizes their deep engagement with both Roman classical culture and their own national heritage, which shaped their writing and perspective. This fusion of influences makes their work a valuable bridge between the ancient and medieval worlds. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling portrait of a scholar whose writings not only provide insights into a specific historical period but also reflect the intellectual currents and cultural transformations of their time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330758960_0
