"The Well-Laden Ship (Fecunda ratis) is an early eleventh-century Latin poem composed of ancient and medieval proverbs, fables, and folktales. Compiled by Egbert of Liège, it was planned as a first reader for beginning students. This makes it one of the few surviving works from the Middle Ages written explicitly for schoolroom use. Most of the content derives from the Bible, especially the wisdom books, from the Church Fathers, and from the ancient poets, notably Vergil, Juvenal, and Horace; but, remarkably, Egbert also included Latin versions of much folklore from the spoken languages. It features early forms of nursery rhymes (for example, "Jack Sprat"), folk tales (for instance, various tales connected with Reynard the Fox), and even fairy tales (notably "Little Red Riding Hood"). The poem also contains medieval versions of many still popular sayings, such as "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth," "When the cat's away, the mice will play," and "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." The Well-Laden Ship, which survives in a single medieval manuscript, has been edited previously only once (in 1889) and has never been translated"--

Die literarische Poesie der römischen Republik ist nur stark fragmentarisch überliefert. Daneben fristen die Carmina Latina Epigraphica dieser Zeit, obschon hier zahlreiche vollständige Epigramme überliefert sind, ein Schattendasein in der Forschung. Der vorgelegte Band bietet die erste umfassende Betrachtung dieser Texte: Führende Fachgelehrte werten das Material in philologischer, althistorischer und archäologischer Perspektive aus. In Surveys werden darüber hinaus einzelne Regionen vollständig dokumentiert. Einzelinterpretationen zu ausgewählten republikanischen Carmina sowie Ausblicke auf die Kaiserzeit mit dezidiert methodenkritischen Schwerpunkten runden die Publikation ab. Only isolated fragments have been preserved of the literary poetry of the Roman Republic. At the same time, the Carmina Latina Epigraphica of this period have been largely neglected by scholars, even though numerous complete epigrams have been preserved. The present volume deals with these texts more comprehensively than any previous study. Leading specialists evaluate the material from the perspectives of philology, ancient history and archaeology. In addition, surveys present a complete documentation of individual regions. The publication is completed by individual interpretations of selected Republican Carmina and views of the Imperial Age with a definite emphasis on critical methodological aspects.
