Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Barbarossa in Italy presents a verse translation of the Carmen de gestis Frederici I imperatoris in Lombardia. This Latin poem describes the conflict leading up to April of 1162 when Frederick I Hohenstaufen, the German emperor, destroyed Milan in an attempt to impose his rule on the emerging urban republics of northern Italy. The issues, personalities, and events that led up to this catastrophe are the subjects of this unfinished verse epic written by an anonymous citizen of Bergamo shortly after the events. With a vivid eye for the horrors of battle and siege, his knowing portrayal of Frederick's conflicted emotions, and his use of classical figures and dream vision, the Bergamo Master shows a respect for his classical antecedents while staying faithful to the modes and personalities of his age. In concise and modern English verse Professor Carson provides the reader with a fresh view of this monumental struggle between imperial authority and an age of cultural revival, local freedoms, and new loyalties. Ilustrated, map, introduction, notes, bibliography.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Although not entirely a new title for TAN, we are listing it as new because this edition is newly typeset and repunctuated, so it will come alive as if you never read it before Our Lord said, Learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart. (Matt 11:29) And also, Amen, I say to you, unless you be converted and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven. (Matt 18:3) This classic study in humility describes the nature of that virtue typical of all Saints - the one virtue that underlies every other virtue and without which none of us will enter Heaven. Says, Impregnate yourself with humility, and you will soon find that all other virtues will follow without any effort on your part. A treasure; filled with insights.
