Description
Carmina Burana, literally "Songs from Beuern," is named after the village where the manuscript was found. This songbook consists of nearly 250 poems, covering subjects such as sex and gambling, crusades, and corruption. Compiled in the thirteenth century in South Tyrol, a German-speaking region of Italy, it is the largest surviving collection of secular Medieval Latin verse. The multilingual codex includes works by leading Latin poets, as well as stanzas by German lyric poets. More than half these poems are preserved nowhere else. A selection from Carmina Burana first appeared in Victorian England in 1884 under a provocative title that has stuck in the popular imagination. This new presentation of the medieval classic makes the anthology accessible to both Latin lovers and English readers, offering a comprehensive view of Medieval Latin verse in two volumes.
