Murphy, G. Ronald (ed.)
Descrizione Brossura editoriale di 237 pagine. Traduzione integrale e commentario in lingua inglese dello Heliand, poema epico che parafrasa la Bibbia e il manoscritto più lungo a noi pervenuto scritto in antico sassone. Occasionali postille a matita in margine al testo; ottima copia per lo studio -- A spirited retelling of the Gospel story in a Germanic setting, the ninth-century A.D. Old Saxon epic poem The Heliand is at last available in English in Ronald Murphy's graceful new translation. Representing the first full integration and poetic reworking of the Gospel story into Northern European warrior imagery and culture, the poem finds a place for many Old Northern religious concepts and images while remaining faithful to the orthodox Christian teaching of the Gospel of St. Mark. Accessible to students of medieval and comparative literature, Murphy's introduction and notes provide valuable insight and a cultural context for this unique masterpiece.
