The New Cambridge History of the Bible: Volume 2, From 600 to 1450 by Richard Marsden (PDF)

Description

This volume examines the development and use of the Bible from late Antiquity to the Reformation, tracing both its geographical and its intellectual journeys from its homelands throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean and into northern Europe. Richard Marsden and E. Ann Matter’s volume provides a balanced treatment of eastern and western biblical traditions, highlighting processes of transmission and modes of exegesis among Roman and Orthodox Christians, Jews and Muslims and illuminating the role of the Bible in medieval inter-religious dialogue. Translations into Ethiopic, Slavic, Armenian and Georgian vernaculars, as well as Romance and Germanic, are treated in detail, along with the theme of allegorized spirituality and established forms of glossing. The chapters take the study of Bible history beyond the cloisters of medieval monasteries and ecclesiastical schools to consider the influence of biblical texts on vernacular poetry, prose, drama, law and the visual arts of East and West.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I love beautiful books and take good care of them.Yet within a couple weeks of purchase there were already pages detaching from the glue and starting to fall out. It is an utter shame that a publisher of Cambridge’s caliber makes books of such poor quality.

⭐Very well edited and much improvement on the earlier edition, particularly the chapters on exegesis.

⭐Excellent!
