Arator: Historia Apostolica

Beschreibung

Aratorâ s Historia Apostolica, a poetic rewriting of the Acts of the Apostles first published in 544, is a heady mix of epic verse and mystical commentary, which not just proved an instant success in sixth-century Rome but enjoyed lasting popularity, not least among the monks of Anglo-Saxon England and the Carolingian continent.
