Gulden legende - Petrus Naghel; Berteloot Amand; Claassens Geert H.M.; Kuiper Willem
de Middelnederlandse vertaling van de Legenda aurea
KORTE INHOUD
The importance of the 'Legenda aurea' for the Late Middle Ages can hardly be overestimated, as witness the impressive manuscript tradition of the original Latin text as well the different vernacular versions. This huge hagiographic collection, organised per circulum anni, can be considered as a compendium of the medieval religious worldview: it offers insights into the (deuterocanonic) tradition of the New Testament, the lives and deaths of the most important saints, the history of the church of Rome, and it can be read as a catechism in narrative form. But the 'Legenda aurea' is also a treasure-trove of stories, motifs and themes splendidly reflecting medieval mentality in its entirety. The influence of the 'Legenda aurea' on literature and iconography is so far-reaching, that the book is an indispensable aid for the 'reading' of countless medieval texts, paintings and sculptures. This is the second volume of a two-volume set. The first will appear in 2013.
