商品簡介
Marbod of Rennes is a major poet and renowned educator whose work occupies a seminal position in the resurgence of scholarship and the arts in the later Middle Ages, and for this reason he offers important insight into profound cultural transformations that led to the Twelfth Century Renaissance. During his long career, he composed poetry in a variety of genres, including love lyrics, friendship poems, saints' lives, satirical diatribes, and non-fictional works on rhetoric and stone lore. Even though his accomplishments earned him widespread fame during this lifetime, his poetry has been poorly edited and rarely translated. This book aims to familiarize modern readers with this important writer by offering a critical edition and translation of his poetic corpus. The translations attempt to bring the reader as closely as possible to experiencing the poems in their original Latin while still being readable and comprehensible, facilitated by notes and commentary.
