aldhelm saint (71 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: New. The first and one of the finest Latin poets of Anglo-Saxon England, the seventh-century bishop Saint Aldhelm can justly be called "Britain's first man of letters." Among his many influential poetic texts were the hundred riddles that made up his Aenigmata. In Saint Aldhelm's Riddles, A.M. Juster offers the first verse translation of this text in almost a century, capturing the wit, warmth, and wonder of the first English riddle collection. One of today's finest formalist poets, A.M. Juster brings the same exquisite care to this volume as to his translations of Horace ("The best edition available of the Satires in English" -Choice), Tibullus ("An excellent new translation" -The Guardian), and Petrarch. Juster's translation is complemented by a newly edited version of the Latin text and by the first scholarly commentary on the Aenigmata, the result of exhaustive interdisciplinary research into the text's historical, literary, and philological context. Saint Aldhelm's Riddles will be essential for scholars and a treasure for lovers of Tolkien, Beowulf, and Harry Potter.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'The Riddles of Aldhelm' offers a captivating glimpse into the intellectual and literary world of the 7th-century Anglo-Saxon scholar and saint, Aldhelm of Malmesbury. This collection, known originally as the 'Aenigmata', consists of one hundred poetic riddles that explore the mysteries of the natural world, the complexities of everyday objects, and the profundities of Christian thought. Ranging from the humble silkworm and the majestic elephant to abstract concepts like Nature itself, these verses demonstrate Aldhelm's mastery of Latin hexameter and his keen observation of his environment.
