Among topics covered in this volume, two important authorship questions are settled; the discovery of a major Northumbrian settlement is reported; the conceptions of Old English literature which have prevailed during the last three hundred years are paraded for critical inspection and substantial contributions are made to our knowledge of subjects as diverse as a monastic library of the first rank, eighth-century Latin poetic activity, metrical technique and literary convention in our greatest surviving vernacular poem; the family basis of political power in the tenth century; late Anglo-Saxon legal concepts; and scientific exposition in the early eleventh century. The usual comprehensive bibliography of the previous year's publications in all branches of Anglo-Saxon studies rounds off the book (with a separate section onomastic section). There is also an index to volumes 6 – 10, complementing the index found in volume 5.

Manuscripts are the form of evidence most studied in this volume: the likely seventh- and eighth-century English ownership of a fifth-century copy of a Hieronymian commentary is meticulously reconstructed; an edition and full discussion of the eighth-century Anglian collection of royal genealogies and regnal lists advance our understanding of this difficult material; and it is shown that most of the drawings in the Junius codex of Old English poetry probably derived from an illustrated copy of an Old Saxon poem on Genesis which came to this country in the middle of the ninth century. Vernacular literature is well represented: two leading features of narrative technique are examined, one in Beowulf, the greatest surviving poem of the age, and the other in the works of Ælfric, perhaps its greatest writer of prose. A wide-ranging survey of some of the main problems in the modern-day study of Anglo-Saxon coinage makes a fundamental contribution both to that study itself and to the understanding of it by those in other specializations.

Traduz. in francese moderno di Magaly Del Vecchio-Drion. Paris, Honoré Champion Edit. 2011, cm.11x17, pp.160, brossura, copertina figurata a colori, Collana Traductions des Classiques du Moyen Age,87. Testo in francese. La chanson de la Prise de Cordres et de Sebille narre les exploits en terre sarrasine du plus jeune des fils d’Aymeri de Narbonne, Guibert d’Andrenas. Travaillant habilement sa matière, le poète a su différer avec brio le duel final – qui voit le triomphe de l’Aymeride sur le monstrueux Sarrasin Butor – en plaçant au centre de sa chanson les aventures guerrières et amoureuses d’un neveu du héros, Bertrant. Le poème, alliant de cette façon exigences épiques et apports romanesques, est un bon représentant de l’évolution que subit la chanson de geste au XIIIe siècle. On retrouve également dans la Prise de Cordres tout ce qui fait le succès des chansons du Cycle de Guillaume d’Orange : des scènes de violence guerrière où se distinguent les chevaliers valeureux, des situations courtoises montrant la naissance de l’amour, des conflits de générations mettant en péril l’harmonie de la famille, une peinture nuancée du monde sarrasin. Le tout ponctué par les commentaires tour à tour émus ou incisifs d’un poète qui sait animer son récit pour le rendre plus séduisant encore. La narration est alerte, rapide et évolue d’une péripétie à l’autre en faisant l’économie des répétitions et des ressassements lyriques traditionnels. L’efficacité du récit est accrue par l’influence de quelques figures marquantes : Nubie, la belle Sarrasine à l’esprit d’entreprise et à l’ironie féroce, Baufumé, le converti fidèle et plein de ressources, sans oublier les membres de la Geste, Guillaume, Hernaut, Aÿmer… Si les thèmes restent traditionnels, la narration plus nerveuse, l’action plus dense et la palette des sentiments exploités font de la Prise de Cordres un texte plaisant, mettant en oeuvre une esthétique séduisante, à mi-chemin entre la chanson de geste et le roman.

Firenze, Polistampa 2022, cm.15x21, pp.64, illustrazioni. brossura copertina figurata. Secco come un punteruolo, tutto naso e scarpe sfondate, schiantato a terra da un'accusa arbitraria. Un soldato e un uomo politico, non ancora il Poeta. A dorso di un mulo sulla giogaia dell'alpe, nel sentiero che lo porta a Forlì, a cavallo lungo la strada che s'inerpica al poggio di Montaccianico, Dante è in fuga, braccato dai Neri che lo vogliono morto, bruciato sul rogo. La sua casa è il deserto, il suo grido è strozzato. È vivo eppure è un cadavere caldo. Schiantato dal dolore e dalla fatica, insegue la speranza sui monti, tra Mugello e Romagna. È lassù che trasforma il calvario in un impetuoso slancio di vita. Combattere, uccidere, vendicarsi. Senza la disperazione dell'esilio, senza l'eco dei tamburi di guerra, la Commedia non sarebbe stata quella che è: un incandescente canto cristiano, l'inno della sconfinata bellezza, uno straordinario omaggio alla vita di chi è stato strappato dal caso alla tomba. "Condannato a morte" è la storia di un fuggiasco, l'avventura nell'inferno terreno del poeta più grande. Come non lo avete mai visto.
