The translations follow D?mler's Latin text, with each poem controlled by a headnote that places the piece in its historical and literary contexts. A series of appendices offers translations of selected letters, a register of the poems by meter, a census of nearly 200 manuscripts with digital links, and a prolegomenon to a new edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Poetry of Alcuin of York is a stimulating resource for anyone working on later Latin poetry, and late ancient literature more broadly. The poems also offer fascinating insights into life and scholarship in Anglo-Saxon England and in the Carolingian empire in the late eighth and early ninth centuries, and so will also be of interest to students of medieval history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Pucci\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367342138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367342135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.06d","brand":"Joseph Pucci","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44522488267007,"sku":"9780367342135","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2de2b009-5891-47ee-90a6-02d3644ab3e4.jpg?v=1700157525","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-poetry-of-alcuin-of-joseph-pucci-9780367342135","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
