The Heliand is a paraphrased synthesis of the four Gospels written by an anonymous Saxon in the Age of Charlemagne. It is a very interesting example of Christianity incorporating native Germanic traditions. In the work, Christ is portrayed as a chieftain with his earls and thanes in a Palestine that reflects the author's contemporary culture. This makes it a particularly insightful read, both for those interested in what 9th century Saxony was like and for those interested in early Germanic interpretations of Christianity. Highly recommended for anyone who thinks it sounds interesting. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A spirited retelling of the Gospel story in a Germanic setting, the ninth-century A.D. Old Saxon epic poem The Heliand is at last available in English in Ronald Murphy's graceful new translation. Representing the first full integration and poetic reworking of the Gospel story into NorthernEuropean warrior imagery and culture, the poem finds a place for many Old Northern religious concepts and images while remaining faithful to the orthodox Christian teaching of the Gospel of St. Mark. Accessible to students of medieval and comparative literature, Murphy's introduction and notesprovide valuable insight and a cultural context for this unique masterpiece.
