Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pe Liflade of St. Juliana: From Two Old English Manuscripts of 1230 A. D., With Renderings Into Modern English Still has the Vision power over us; never will it lose its fascination over the student of Middle-Age Romance. The ancient fragment of its History issued by the Society was first made known to Arthurian readers by its editor, Mr Skeat; and the three black-letter lives of Joseph of Arimathæa reprinted in the Appendix, with the quaint woodcut of the Glastonbury Thorn from Pynson´s edition, and the general Introduction by Mr Skeat, added much to the interest of the book. ´King Alfred´s West-Saxon Version of Gregory´s Pastoral Care´ chiefly claimed attention on account of its language. It gave opportunity for the study of the 9th-century forms, in contrast with those of the later stages of the language represented in most of our printed Anglo-Saxon books. But it was impossible for a reader to follow, page after page, the precepts of the old saint, without strong sympathy with his purpose, and without feeling what help his wise counsels must have given to those who in Alfred´s time shepherded the flocks of God in our land. The teacher evidently taught from the experience of his own heart, warning his hearers against the temptations he had himself felt. In ´The Legends of the Holy Rood, Symbols of the Passion, and Cross-Poems,´ was contained a rare store of curious stories about the finding and making of Christ´s Cross, the history of the tree from which it was cut, the nails that were driven into it, and every thing, else belonging to it, - details in which the mediæval mind ran riot. But the volume also included some very pathetic poems on the subject which most took hold of the religious feeling of the Middle Ages, the Mother by the Cross of her Son. Divine or non-divine, here all were one; and all hearts beat as they heard the sad lament - Feet, and fayre hondes, That nou ben croised! I custe hem ofte; I lulled hem; I leid hem softe. Cros! thou boldest hem he on lofte, Bounden in bledyng bondes! Mother and child; life and death; the fate of the world: no wonder that such topics toucht the hearts of men. The seven ´Minor Poems of Lindesay´ brought again under view the social condition of Scotland in the middle of the 16th century, which had been dealt with by the former Parts of the poets works, and by Lauder.
