Corbie (william Mayne's Animal Library)

Das Buch bietet eine neue Untersuchung der monastischen Kultur der Karolingerzeit. Ihre Tragweite wird bei der Behandlung der Themen und Inhalte der Handschriften aus der Bibliothek von Corbie deutlich. Mit der Geschichte der Abtei, ihrer Missionstatigkeit und den entscheidenden Veranderungen der karolingischen Kultur ist auch die Entwicklung des Skriptoriums von Corbie verbunden. Durch ein genaues Studium der Notizen und Randbemerkungen erfahren wir, wie die Handschriften in Corbie gelesen und benutzt wurden. Patristische und klassische Zitate in den Schriften der Autoren, die in Corbie gearbeitet haben, verdeutlichen, auf welche Art und Weise Anspielungen und Anderungen zu charakteristischen Bestandteilen jener Kultur wurden und welche Mittel sie zu ihrer Bewertung bieten. Die Untersuchung endet mit einer detaillierten Beschreibung aller erhaltenen Handschriften der einstigen karolingischen Bibliothek von Corbie. Ein Register erschliesst das Werk.

Hardcover. Jedediah's father walked out of his life forty years ago. Now he's back. He won't apologise, he doesn't explain - and, impossibly, he hasn't aged a day. If you asked the folks of Gyrford, they'd tell you Jedediah Smith looked up to his father. After all, Corbie Mackem was the Sarsen Shepherd: the man who saved the Smith clan from Ab, the terrifyingly well-meaning fey who blighted a whole generation with unwanted gifts. Corbie was a good fairy-smith. And if he wasn't a good father, well, that isn't something Jedediah likes to talk about. Especially since no one knows where Corbie's body lies: the day of his son's wedding, forty-odd years ago, he set off to travel and was never seen again. These days Jedediah is a respectable elder, more concerned with his wayward grandson John than with his long-buried past, and he has other problems on his mind. There's the preparations for Saint Clement's Day, and the odd fact that birds all over the county have taken to hiding themselves, and the misbehaviour of Left-Lop the pig - which has grown vegetation all over its back, escaped its farm and taken to making personal remarks at folks in alarmingly alliterative verse. But then disaster strikes. Ab is back. And Corbie, thought long dead, returns to Gyrford - younger than his son . . ."Prepare to be utterly enchanted!" Alison Littlewood, author of The Crow Garden Jedediah's father walked out of his life forty years ago. Now he's back. He won't apologise, he doesn't explain - and, impossibly, he hasn't aged a day.
