Synopsis
This book presents a critical edition of the Latin works of Aldhelm, an Anglo-Saxon abbot and scholar who lived in the seventh and eighth centuries. The texts included are Aldhelm's metrical and prose treatises on virginity, his metrical and rhythmic poems, his letter to King Aldfrith, and his letter to Acircius. The edition is based on a thorough examination of the manuscript tradition and includes a comprehensive introduction, critical apparatus, and indices. Aldhelm's works are important for understanding the intellectual and cultural life of early medieval England. They provide valuable insights into the transmission of classical and patristic learning to Anglo-Saxon England, the development of Latin literature in the early Middle Ages, and the role of the Church in Anglo-Saxon society. The author's detailed examination of Aldhelm's writings sheds light on the complex relationship between the classical and Christian traditions in early medieval England and offers a comprehensive overview of the literary and intellectual achievements of one of its most important figures.
