Description: Anglicanus ortus by Henry of Huntingdon, Winston Black Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book presents the first English verse translation of Henry of Huntingdons recently-discovered Anglicanus ortus, opening a new window onto this important English author as well as onto the uses of poetry and the knowledge of medicine in medieval England. Publisher Description Henry, archdeacon of Huntingdon, England (c 1088-c 1154) has been admired for centuries as the author of the monumental Historia Anglorum. The recent discovery of the Anglicanus ortus opens a new window onto this important English author as well as onto the uses of poetry and the knowledge of medicine in medieval England. Written entirely in Latin verse, the Anglicanus ortus describes the medicinal uses of 160 different herbs, spices and vegetables. Henry drew on centuries of learned medicine to compose this work, employing the medical knowledge of ancient authors like Pliny the Elder and Dioscorides and of medieval scholars like Walahfrid Strabo, Macer Floridus and Constantine the African. This critical edition is based on the five extant manuscripts and includes a complete English translation on facing pages and a commentary on every poem. An extensive introduction describes the manuscript witnesses in detail, examines Henrys poetic skill and use of sources, and establishes the place of the Anglicanus ortus in a pivotal era in the history of medicine and natural philosophy. Author Biography Winston Black is the Haslam Postdoctoral Fellow for the Marco Institute for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. His research and publications focus on the teaching and transmission of medicine and law in the High Middle Ages, particularly the composition and transmission of Latin didactic and mnemonic poetry.
