Excerpt from The Latin Poems Commonly Attributed to Water Mapes
The great popular movements in England during the end of the twelfth and the earlier half of the thirteenth centuries, gave rise to a numerous class of Latin poems of a very peculiar character, re markable chie?y for pungency of satire, or spright liness of composition. The remains of this poetry, which we have long been in the habit of attributing to Walter Mapes, appear to be of sufficient interest and importance to be collected into a volume; and prefatory to the poems themselves, it will naturally be expected that we should give some account of the presumed author.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a collection of medieval Latin poems, a literary genre popular in England and France from the late 12th through 13th century. These poems, most of which are presented with a facing English translation, provide a unique outlet for the witty, satirical, and politically charged thoughts of influential scholars and clerics. The author places these poems within the tumultuous historical context of the period, where rising tensions between the church and the state led to widespread resentment and active resistance. The book explores several themes, including the critique of papal authority, the corruption within the Cistercian order, and the everyday lives of the scholars who composed these poems. Ultimately, this collection offers a rare glimpse into the minds of medieval intellectuals and their attempts to engage with the dominant cultural and political forces of their time.
