Sang. 265 -- Douai bibliotheque municipale MS 849. 330 $aThis 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. 517 3 $aEpic Lives & Monasticism in the Middle Ages, 800?1050 606 $aChristian poetry, Latin (Medieval and modern)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEpic poetry, Latin (Medieval and modern)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMonasticism and religious orders$vBiography 606 $aAuthors and patrons$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aPoetics$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMonks' writings$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristian saints$vBiography$vEarly works to 1800 615 0$aChristian poetry, Latin (Medieval and modern)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEpic poetry, Latin (Medieval and modern)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMonasticism and religious orders 615 0$aAuthors and patrons$xHistory. 615 0$aPoetics$xHistory 615 0$aMonks' writings$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristian saints 676 $a871/.03093823 700 $aTaylor$b Anna Lisa$01843019 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957934603321 996 $aEpic lives and monasticism in the Middle Ages, 800-1050$94423712 997 $aUNINA
