Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 9: Medium of Inter-Communication for Literary Men, Artists, Antiquaries, Genealogists, Etc;; January June, 1860
The Paeonian bonasus, or bison, appears to have been a species of wild ox, cognate, but not iden tical, with the aurochs. The ancient bonasus, like the modern aurochs, was confined to a single and limited tract of Europe but since, unlike its modern congener, it was not preserved in a royal forest, it became extinct. The aurochs would long ago have met. The same fate, if its race had not been perpetuated by the accidental proteo tion which it has received from the kings of Poland and the emperors of Russia. The un wieldy size of the aurochs, and its slowness of movement, would, notwithstanding its enormous strength, have soon made it the prey of men, if it had not been intentionally preserved from destruc tion; and its savage nature would have prevented it from being perpetuated in a state of domestica tion. It may he remarked that the horns of the bonasus, as described by Aristotle, resemble in shape the horns of the Indian buffalo.

Notes and Queries, Vol. 9 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the little-known origins of the Anglo-Saxon literary tradition, focusing particularly on the encounter between the pagan Germanic warrior culture and the culture of early English Christianity. The author traces the emergence of an Anglo-Saxon literary sensibility from their oral traditions, through the conversion to Christianity, to the development of a written literature under the influence of Latin Christian culture. The book explores the tensions and conflicts between these two cultures, and the ways in which they shaped the development of Anglo-Saxon literature. It sheds light on the complex and dynamic relationship between Christianity and paganism in the early Middle Ages, and provides a fresh perspective on the origins of English literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333306045_0
