Condition: Gut. pp.187-208. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication of the author. - Slightly creased at staple, name of the author handwritten on cover, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: The following article explores one way of using Latin sources to increase our understanding and appreciation of the surviving corpus of vernacular prose hagiography in Anglo-Saxon England. Although the saints legends in prose make up a significant portion of the Old English literary remains, they have been relatively neglected in comparison with the saints legends in Old English verse, such as Andreas, Guthlac A and Guthlac B, and Cynewulfs Elene. As the standard bibliographies reveal well enough, the prose texts have been studied mainly from the perspectives of language, stylistics, codicology and basic Quellenforschung, and much less than the verse texts for their literary, historical or broadly cultural interest. This is particularly true of the twenty-nine anonymous legends, some of which are not readily accessible in printed versions, and most of which need re-editing. But even the hagiographie writings of Ælfric, which are better known, have been read only occasionally for their narrative content per se. Primary emphasis has fallen instead on Ælfrics considerable stylistic and prosodic achievements. Moreover, the two most recent monographs on Ælfrics intellectual and doctrinal concerns hardly touch on his saints legends.
