Aelred of Rievaulx,
By Jane (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aelred of Rievaulx: The Historical Works (Cistercian Fathers) (Paperback)
This book is a fantastic source for scholars especially those with deficient or non-existent Latin skills. It contains four of Aelred's most important works, Lament for David King of Scots, The Genealogy of the Kings of the English, the Life of St Edward the Confessor and the Battle of the Standard. In some cases it is the first time that an English translation of the work is available. The translations themselves are excellent, being the work of the well respected scholar/translator Jane Patricia Freeland. Marsha Dutton, herself an expert on Aelred, provides an excellent introduction to the works covering topics such as Aelred's biography, a comentary on each of the works, the historical context and the extant manuscripts. It is a great book that makes the major works of Aelred of Rievaulx far more readily available.
