Sang. 265 -- Douai bibliotheque municipale MS 849.This is the first book to focus on Latin epic verse saints' lives in their medieval historical contexts. Anna Taylor examines how these works promoted bonds of friendship and expressed rivalries among writers, monasteries, saints, earthly patrons, teachers and students in Western Europe in the central Middle Ages. Using philological, codicological and microhistorical approaches, Professor Taylor reveals new insights that will reshape our understanding of monasticism, patronage and education. These texts give historians an unprecedented glimpse inside the early medieval classroom, provide a nuanced view of the complicated synthesis of the Christian and Classical heritages, and show the cultural importance and varied functions of poetic composition in the ninth, tenth and eleventh centuries.Epic Lives & Monasticism in the Middle Ages, 800–1050Christian poetry, Latin (Medieval and modern)History and criticismEpic poetry, Latin (Medieval and modern)History and criticismMonasticism and religious ordersBiographyAuthors and patronsEuropeHistoryPoeticsHistoryTo 1500Monks' writingsHistory and criticismChristian saintsBiographyEarly works to 1800Christian poetry, Latin (Medieval and modern)History and criticism.Epic poetry, Latin (Medieval and modern)History and criticism.Monasticism and religious ordersAuthors and patronsHistory.PoeticsHistoryMonks' writingsHistory and criticism.Christian saints871/.03093823Taylor Anna Lisa1843019UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910957934603321Epic lives and monasticism in the Middle Ages, 800-10504423712UNINA
