{"product_id":"from-verse-to-prose-salvatore-colomino-9780916379681","title":"From Verse to Prose: The Barlaam and Josaphat Legend in Fifteenth-Century Germany","description":"This monograph examines a fifteenth-century German prose redaction of the Barlaam and Josaphat legend. Through a comparison with contemporary versions of the story, the text edited here is shown to be an original contribution to the corpus of fifteenth-century hagiographic literature. A discussion of innovations in the prose Barlaam and Josaphat text further emphasizes differences from earlier poetic versions of the legend. Through an expansion of liturgical references and corresponding deletion of any secular commentary, the prose reviser has effectively adapted his material to a fifteenth-century clerical audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Salvatore Colomino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 091637968X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780916379681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scripta Humanistica\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d","brand":"Salvatore Colomino","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46617864601855,"sku":"9780916379681","price":57.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a15315b6-34cb-443d-aeb3-141983bc32e9.jpg?v=1740068540","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-verse-to-prose-salvatore-colomino-9780916379681","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
