Produktbeschreibung
A chorus of rebellious voices echoes from the heart of 11th century Europe. The Cambridge Songs; A Goliard's Song Book Of The 11th Century, edited by Karl Breul, unfurls a rare tapestry of medieval Latin poetry-satirical, unflinching, and alive with wit. Here, the goliards-wandering scholars and clerics-challenge authority, mock hypocrisy, and celebrate earthly joys in lyrics that blend biting religious critique with exuberant revelry. Each poem pulses with the vibrancy and irreverence that would later inspire works like Carmina Burana, making this anthology a vital link in the story of medieval literature. This collection is more than a goliard songs collection; it is a window into the social and spiritual ferment of its age. The verses, preserved from a medieval manuscript, capture the raw humanity and intellectual daring of their authors. Themes of satire, longing, and defiance thread through the pages, offering both an academic study resource and a feast for any medieval literature enthusiast. The historical Latin lyrics resonate with anyone fascinated by the complexities of medieval manuscript study and the cultural crossroads of 11th century Europe. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today-a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For those drawn to the bold voices of medieval Latin authors, this anthology is both a cultural treasure and a collector's item.
