"St. Æthelwold (904/9-984), abbot of Abingdon and bishop of Winchester, made the first translation of the Rule of Saint Benedict into English (or, indeed, into any vernacular language) as part of the tenth-century English Benedictine Reform. This movement dramatically affected the trajectory of religious life in early medieval England and influenced the ways in which secular power was conceived and wielded in the kingdom. Æthelwold's translation into Old English reworks Benedict's Latin text through numerous silent additions, omissions, and instances of explanatory material, revealing an Anglo-Saxon ecclesiastical and political reformer intent on making this foundational Latin text more readily accessible to the new monks and nuns of the Reform and to the laity. Presented with related texts composed in Old English, this volume makes Æthelwold's transformation of Benedict's Rule available in Modern English translation for the first time"--

Freundschaft und Legenden stehen immer wieder im Fokus mediävistischer Untersuchungen, doch nur selten wird Freundschaft in Legenden perspektiviert und fast gar nicht in Ordengründerlegenden. Diesem Umstand widmet sich nun die vorliegende Studie, wenn sie sowohl die lateinischen, als auch die volkssprachlichen Erzählungen des 13.-15. Jahrhunderts analysiert. Die im Zentrum stehenden OrdensgründerInnen (Birgitta, Klara, Bruno, Dominikus, Franziskus, Norbert und Robert) sind jeweils Teil eines komplexen Relationsgefüges. Gott, ihre Gemeinschaft und die Institution Kirche stellen in den Erzählungen konkurrierende Geltungsansprüche an sie. Mit Hilfe eines systemtheoretischen Freundschaftsbegriffs werden in den Texten sowohl die Differenzen markiert, als auch die übergreifenden Funktionen des Erzählens skizziert. Es sind die Semantiken, Narrative und Figurationen der Freundschaft, die die divergenten Relationen ausgleichen und das legendarische Erzählen stabilisieren. Freundschaft erweist sich also als Konstituens der Ordensgründerlegende, ein wichtiges Ergebnis für die historische Ordens- und Freundschaftsforschung, aber ebenso für die narratologische Legendenforschung.

Bede is the inaugural volume in the Sources of Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture series, which seeks to comprehensively map British literary culture from 500 to 1100 CE. This volume presents four texts, or fascicles, dedicated to the Venerable Bede (d. 735), theologian and author of the Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum. Articles provide a wealth of information on Bede through manuscript evidence, medieval library catalogs, citations, and quotations. Using discussions of source relationships, the entries weigh and consider different interpretations of Bede's works and suggest possibilities for future research. Part of an exciting new reference series, this book"and those that follow"will be indispensable to anyone interested in the history and literature of the period.
