description Did King Alfred the Great commission the Old English translation of Bede’s Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum, probably the masterpiece of medieval Anglo-Latin Literature, as part of his famous program of translation to educate the Anglo-Saxons? Was the Old English Historia, by any chance, a political and religious manifesto for the emerging ‘Kingdom of the Anglo-Saxons’? Do we deal with the literary cornerstone of a nascent English identity at a time when the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms were threatened by a common enemy: the Vikings? Andreas Lemke seeks to answer these questions – among others – in his recent publication. He presents us with a unique compendium of interdisciplinary approaches to the subject and sheds new light on the Old English translation of the Historia in a way that will fascinate scholars of Literature, Language, Philology and History.

Entstand die altenglische Übersetzung der Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum des Beda Venerabilis, des wohl bedeutendsten anglo-lateinischen Werkes des Mittelalters, auf Bestreben König Alfreds ‚des Großen‘ als Teil seines Übersetzungs- und Bildungsprogrammes? War die altenglische Historia vielleicht ein Gründungsmanifest des Königreichs der Angelsachsen? Dieses Königreich formierte sich schließlich in einer Zeit, als England sich eines äußeren Feindes zu erwehren hatte, der die politische Ordnung der angelsächsischen Königreiche bedrohte: der Wikinger. Um diese Frage zu beantworten, präsentiert Andreas Lemke ein in dieser Form einzigartiges Kompendium interdisziplinärer Ansätze und wirft ein neues Licht auf die altenglische Beda-Übersetzung, das Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaftler, Philologen und Historiker gleichermaßen anspricht. 2021-02-10T12:58:18Z 2016-12-31 23:55:55 2019-11-28 12:29:40 2020-04-01T14:11:25Z 2015 book 610369 OCN: 982244862 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/37263 9783863951894 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/28761 eng open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/37263/1/GSEP8_lemke.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/37263/1/GSEP8_lemke.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/37263/1/GSEP8_lemke.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/37263/1/GSEP8_lemke.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/37263/1/GSEP8_lemke.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/37263/1/GSEP8_lemke.pdf Universitätsverlag Göttingen 10.17875/gup2015-787 10.17875/gup2015-787 af9011e0-03b9-4a5c-9ae6-b9da4898d1b2 9783863951894 AG Universitätsverlage open access
