Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Founder of monasteries, navigator of fantastic voyages, wonder-working intercessor and confessor, Saint Brendan of Clonfert and Ardfert (c. 486-578) was among the most colourful and celebrated figures of medieval Ireland. Brendan's renown, nurtured by his monastic community and their princely patrons, approached that of Patrick, Brigit, and Columba, Ireland's national saints. His fame was such that stories about him were told with those of King Arthur and other worthies. The chief surviving memorials in Latin to Brendan's life, legend and historical influence are three: the Vita Sancti Brendani recounting his clerical activities in Ireland and abroad, the Navigatio Sancti Brendani relating his fabulous seven-year voyage seeking a terrestrial paradise on the great ocean, and the Oratio Sancti Brendani, a lengthy prayer for protection and deliverance that is attributed to him. Definitive versions of these three works have been preserved in two manuscripts dating from the fourteenth and the eleventh centuries respectively. This complete translation of the Vita Sancti Brendani (from Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Rawlinson B 485, a version which incorporates the Navigatio), and of the Oratio attributed to him (from Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 13067), offers the first full portrait in English of Brendan not only as the saintly hero of the popular Navigatio but also as an emblem of the Gaelic people, their struggles and their aspirations over the long arc of Irish history. This volume includes the translation of Vita Sancti Brendani (from Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Rawlinson B 485, a version which incorporates the Navigatio), and the Oratio, reportedly attributed to Brendan (from Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 13067).

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Found in Translation: Itinerant French Epics in Medieval Scandinavia contains English translations of three Old Norse-Icelandic renderings of French chansons de geste: Elis saga ok Rosamundu, Bevers saga, and Flovents saga, as well as Baerings saga, an Icelandic chivalric romance. Unlike the courtly romances, such as the Arthurian narratives of Chretien de Troyes, the French epics were anonymous; the earliest is the eleventh-century Chanson de Roland (Song of Roland), dated to around 1100. The epic poems were recited by jongleurs, itinerant storytellers, who performed, for example, at markets on feast days in exchange for payment. The French epics translated into Old Norse-Icelandic were composed a couple of centuries later, under the influence of courtly romance, and are commonly designated "romance epics." They introduced the motif of the love of a beautiful Saracen maiden, la bele Sarrasine, for a Christian knight in Scandinavia. The romance epics are anonymous, unattributed narratives, which were subject to revision and to recreation. Each epic, Elie de Saint-Gilles, Boeve de Haumtone, and Floovant, has been transmitted in only one manuscript. Comparison of the Old Norse-Icelandic translations with the French epics reveals that the translations are renderings of variant versions of these narratives. At times the translations provide more information or less than the French epics; leave out entire passages or figures; or add new matter and conflicting facts. These translations resulted in the creation of a new Icelandic genre, the riddarasaga (pl. riddarasogur), or chivalric saga. Found in the oldest manuscript containing translations of French epics, Baerings saga stands at the head of this tradition, the first riddarasaga and a thoroughly original Icelandic narrative, despite a plot heavily indebted to Bevers saga.

Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. viii, 114 p. ; 21 cm. ; ISBN 9780888442819, 9789004084377, 0888442815, 9004084371 OCLC 21155221 LCCN 87178647 LC DG805 .G7413 1987 Dewey 914.5/632044 ; pictorial stiff paper wrappers ; Master Gregory was from Britain. It has been surmised that he was the chancellor of the papal legate Otto of Tonengo, mentioned in a document of 1238.17 It is an attractive hypothesis, and enables one to date the Narracio near 1226 ; Medieval Rome was uniquely important, both as a physical city and as an idea with immense cultural capital, encapsulating the legacy of the ancient Empire, the glorious world of the martyrs and the triumph of Christian faith. Rome Across Time and Space explores these twin dimensions of 'place' and 'idea' and analyses Rome's role in the transmission of culture throughout the Middle Ages. Ranging widely over liturgy, architecture, sculpture and textual history, the authors focus on the mutual enrichment derived from the exchange of ideas and illuminate how cultural exchanges between Rome and its 'neighbours' (Byzantium, Italy, England and France), and within Rome (between Ancient and early Christian Rome and the medieval city) worked as catalysts for change, both to shape the medieval city and to help construct the medieval idea of Rome itself. The result is a rich and original perspective on a beguiling city with enduring appeal. ; name of Kenesaw State University professor Howard Shearly (1949-2023) on front endpaper. ; VG. Book.
