‎Arthurian Literature VIII‎

‎-D S Brewer 1989-. First edition. Arthurian Literature series. 206 pages. Cloth. Fine in dustjacket. Continuing its policy of publishing extended explorations of Arthurian subjects this eighth volume of Arthurian Literature contains four articles. Elizabeth Archibald addresses the reasons for the insertion of the story of Mordred's incestuous birth into many versions of the Arthurian legend including Malory's from the early 13th century on and follows its development from the Vulgate Cycle to later Arthurian narratives. The use of irony to point up aspects of the Lancelot-Guinevere relationship in the prologue to Le Chavalier de la Charrete is explored by Jan Janssens. The early 13th-century Romance of Fergus is introduced and translated by D.D.R. Owen who finds it of special interest not just because of its uniquely Scottish setting but also because its use of parody foreshadows later medieval comedy; Scottish concerns also figure in Edward Donald Kennedy's discussion of the 15th-century chronicler John Hardyng's use of the story of Galahad's grail quest and the changes he made.

The tenth volume of Arthurian Literature continues some ofthe themes of earlier issues as well as exploring unfamiliar andcontroversial ground. The second part of CHRISTINE POULSON's survey of the Arthurian legend in 19th-century art is an analysisby subject of the works catalogued by artist in Arthurian Literature IX. A. H. W. SMITH provides a substantial update to MaryWildman's bibliography of modern Arthurian literature which appearedin Arthurian Literature II adding not only recent works butalso many items missing from the earlier list. Mr Smith also contributesan article on Ponticus Virumnius and the text of Gildas one of themore intriguing mysteries of Arthurian text history and sets outVirumnius' claim to have seen a poem by Gildas which has since disappeared. ARMEL DIVERRES writes on the origins of Chretien de Troyes'Conte del Graal; he argues that we should seek the poet's inspiration in the crusading activities of Philip of Flanders supporting his case with a careful examination of many otherwise difficult passages in the poem.

‎Bestiary.‎

‎London:: Folio Society 1992. Hardbound. BINDING/CONDITION: illustrated boards front and rear with blue cloth at the spine; a Fine book with a Very Good slipcase. 11 inches tall by 7 inches wide. Dark blue endpapers. Description: Illustrated in color throughout. ''Being an English version of the Bodleian Library Oxford M.S. Bodley 764 with all the original miniatures reproduced in facsimile.'' From the introduction: ''Offers a unique insight into the medieval mind. If we are to begin to understand it we must lay aside all the mental attitudes we have accumulated from writers and thinkers since the Renaissance and abandon the ideas on which modern science is founded. For the bestiary is an account of the natural world which although it goes back to those same Greek philosophers from whom our scientific concepts ultimately derive looks at nature in a very different light. We find in it a description of a number of beasts birds or fishes varying from the instantly recognizable to the wholly fantastic but the details are very rarely based on observation on the experiences of the everyday world Instead the text is taken from auctores writers recognizes as authorities on the subject. The writers of bestiaries knew the laws of nature; they knew that everything in Creation has a purpose and that the Creator had made nothing without an ulterior aim in mind. And they knew too what that purpose was: the edification and instruction of sinful man. Each creature is therefore a kind of moral entity bearing a message for the human reader.''

‎Woodbridge. 1993. Boydell Press / Boydell & Brewer. Reprinted Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780851157535. 136 color illustrations. 206 pages. paperback. keywords: History England Medieval Mythology Folklore. DESCRIPTION - Bestiaries are a particularly characteristic product of medieval England and give a unique insight into the medieval mind. Richly illuminated and lavishly produced they were luxury objects for noble families. Their three-fold purpose was to provide a natural history of birds beasts and fishes to draw moral examples from animal behaviour the industrious bee the stubborn ass and to reveal a mystical meaning - the phoenix for instance as a symbol of Christ's resurrection. This Bestiary MS Bodley 764 was produced around the middle of the thirteenth century and is of singular beauty and interest. The lively illustrations have the freedom and naturalistic quality of the later Gothic style and make dazzling use of colour. This book reproduces the 136 illuminations to the same size and in the same place as the original manuscript fitting the text around them. Richard Barber's translation from the original Latin is a delight to read capturing both the serious intent of the manuscript and its charm. RICHARD BARBER has written many books on the history of and life in the middle ages from his Somerset Maugham Award-winning The Knight and Chivalry by way of biographies of Henry II and the Black Prince to an anthology of Arthurian literature from England France and Germany Arthurian Legends and an account of the historical Arthur King Arthur: Hero and Legend. inventory #41183 paperback‎
