Description
Angels & Saints by Eliot Weinberger is an awe-inspiring exploration of the heavenly host, delving into centuries of theology and uncovering the mysteries of these celestial beings. Through a rich tapestry of essays, vibrant biographies, and intricate poems, Weinberger resurrects and distills the essence of angelology. The book features a series of playful capsule biographies of saints, alongside the glorious illuminated grid poems by Hrabanus Maurus, an eighteenth-century Benedictine monk. These astonishingly complex poems are reinterpreted in a lucid afterword by medieval scholar Mary Wellesley. This unique blend of theology, literature, and art offers a fresh perspective on the nature of angels and their role in Western culture.
