The Middle English Harrowing of Hell and Gospel of Nicodemus is a book edited and translated by William Henry Hulme. The book contains two medieval texts, the Harrowing of Hell and the Gospel of Nicodemus, both written in Middle English. The Harrowing of Hell tells the story of Christ's descent into Hell after his crucifixion, where he frees the souls of the righteous who had died before his coming. The Gospel of Nicodemus is a collection of stories about Christ's trial, crucifixion, and resurrection, as well as the events that followed. The book provides readers with a glimpse into medieval religious beliefs and practices, as well as the literary and linguistic traditions of the Middle Ages. Hulme's translation and editing make these texts accessible to modern readers and scholars interested in medieval literature and theology.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1907 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
