Karel de Grote (742-814), de illustere Frankische vorst die in 1165, ruim driehonderd na zijn dood, heilig werd verklaard, is uit vele middeleeuwse verhalen bekend. Hoewel hij altijd de rol van monarch vervult, wordt zijn personage wisselend neergezet. Soms verschijnt Karel als een daadkrachtig strijder en aanvoerder, soms als een twijfelaar en een enkele keer zelfs als een despoot die zich door slechte raadgevers laat misleiden. In 'Karel ende Elegast' zien we hem in een opmerkelijke dubbelrol: de grote koning speelt - in opdracht van God - voor dief. Maar door aan het goddelijke gebod te geh

The medieval poem Cursor Mundi is a biblical verse account of the history of the world, offering a chronological overview of salvation history from Creation to Doomsday. Originating in northern England around the year 1300, the poem was frequently copied in the north before appearing in a southern version in substantially altered form. Although it is a storehouse of popular medieval biblical lore and a fascinating study in the eclectic use of more than a dozen sources, the poem has until now attracted little scholarly attention. This five-part collaborative edition presents the Arundel version of the poem with variants from three others.

A contemporary of Giordano Bruno and Galileo, Tommaso Campanella (1568-1639) was a controversial philosopher, theologian, astrologer, and poet who was persecuted during the Inquisition and spent much of his adult life imprisoned because of his heterodox views. He is best known today for two works: The City of the Sun, a dialogue inspired by Plato's Republic, in which he prophesies a vision of a unified, peaceful world governed by a theocratic monarchy; and his well-meaning Defense of Galileo, which may have done Galileo more harm than good because of Campanella's previous conviction for heresy. But Campanella's philosophical poems are where his most forceful and undiluted ideas reside. His poetry is where his faith in observable and experimental sciences, his astrological and occult wisdom, his ideas about deism, his anti-Aristotelianism, and his calls for religious and secular reform most put him at odds with both civil and church authorities. For this volume, Sherry Roush has selected Campanella's best and most idiosyncratic poems, which are masterpieces of sixteenth-century Italian lyrics, displaying a questing mind of great, if unorthodox, brilliance, and showing Campanella's passionate belief in the intrinsic harmony between the sacred and secular.
