{"product_id":"reginald-of-durham-margaret-coombe-9780199641796","title":"Reginald of Durham: The Life and Miracles of Saint Godric, Hermit of Finchale","description":"Godric of Finchdale was a hermit, merchant, and medieval saint. His life was recorded by Benedictine monk Reginald of Durham, but the work has hitherto only been available in manuscripts and in one nineteenth century edition by Joseph Stevenson. The contemporary audience for Reginald's account has been said to be small, provincial and local, comprising mostly peasants and women. Subsequently, Godric has been famous for his songs, which have had a separate transmission and are still performed today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMuch past research on Godric of Finchdale has been based on summaries or epitomes of Reginald's work. It is now clear that several authors rewrote the story to omit many miracles and large potions of text, and that only one manuscript remains testament to the original. This book is the first full, literal translation, presenting Reginald's work as closely as possible to the single original manuscript, and opening up the work to a wider audience for the first time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis translation of \u003cem\u003eThe Life and Miracles of Saint Godric, Hermit of Finchale\u003c\/em\u003e uses the one remaining original manuscript to open up Reginald of Durham's work to a wider audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Coombe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019964179X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199641796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 2.50d","brand":"Margaret Coombe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43988683063551,"sku":"9780199641796","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e4d1982-5cda-419c-8b2c-19087ee68c51.jpg?v=1683295801","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reginald-of-durham-margaret-coombe-9780199641796","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
