In an area ripe for revision, Andrew Kraebel challenges the accepted theory (inherited from Reformation writers) that medieval English Bible translations represent a proto-Protestant rejection of scholastic modes of interpretation. Instead, he argues that early translators were themselves part of a larger scholastic interpretive tradition, and that they tried to make that tradition available to a broader audience. Translation was thus one among many ways that English exegetes experimented with the possibilities of commentary. With a wide scope, the book focuses on works by writers from the heretic John Wyclif to the hermit Richard Rolle, alongside a host of lesser-known authors, including Henry Cossey and Nicholas Trevet, and many anonymous texts. The study provides new insight into the ingenuity of medieval interpreters willing to develop new literary-critical methods and embrace intellectual risks.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51019850842385,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51019853136145,"sku":"NIN9781108708128","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52151011016977,"sku":"NLS9781108708128","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1108708129.jpg?v=1786105218"},{"product_id":"biblical-commentary-and-translation-in-later-medieval-england-book-andrew-kraebel-9781108486644","title":"Biblical Commentary and Translation in Later Medieval England","description":"Drawing extensively on unpublished manuscript sources, this study uncovers the culture of experimentation that surrounded biblical exegesis in fourteenth-century England.

Rolle worked carefully through each word and phrase of the familiar priestly devotion, showing how Job's words could and perhaps should be read and prayed by a true contemplative. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy turns preacherly and scholarly, precise and powerfully affective, with frequent recourse to the rapturous experiences of divine love that are now considered the hallmarks of Rolle's mysticism, this late work made the hermit's own preparation for death available for reflection and emulation long after he had shuffled off this mortal coil. The text circulated widely in pre-Reformation England, and as it moved beyond Rolle's close circle of earliest readers, it helped shape religious and literary attitudes in ways that have, until now, been unappreciated and unrecognized. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe present volume makes Rolle's \u003ci\u003ePostille super novem lectiones mortuorum\u003c\/i\u003e, or \u003ci\u003eGlosses on the Nine Lessons of the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e, accessible as never before. The critical edition of the Latin text, based on thorough examination of the manuscripts and early printed editions, faces an English translation that is at once careful and idiomatic. Text and translation are bookended by an extended historical introduction that also offers detailed descriptions of the manuscript witnesses and a commentary focusing on parallels and analogues in other works by the hermit in both Latin and Middle English. Rich with an abundance of archival material, the volume should serve as an important resource supporting work on the literature and devotional culture of later medieval England. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52682347708689,"sku":"NLS9780888442383","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54051409428753,"sku":"NIN9780888442383","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780888442383.jpg?v=1786114178"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-andrew-kraebel.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
