Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the tale of a motif found in many folk stories: a poor boy is rewarded for his kindness and given three wishes. In versions of the story in English, Dutch, and German, the second of these takes the form of an enchanting musical instrument that forces all who hear it to dance. The author traces the story from the earliest known telling, in a 15th century English poem, through variants recorded in multiple European languages and finally to manifestations found in the oral tradition of the 20th century. Along the way, the author shows how motifs from other familiar stories have become entwined with the original tale, the ways in which different authors have adapted the story to their own purposes, and how the story has changed over time to reflect contemporary values. This book provides a rich tapestry of a beloved folk story. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Es bietet wertvolle Einblicke in die religià sen Praktiken und Ãberzeugungen der damaligen Zeit und beleuchtet die Rolle der Ãbersetzung bei der Verbreitung christlicher Ideen in England.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of the Silvester legend, a popular medieval story about the conversion and baptism of the Roman Emperor Constantine by Pope Silvester I. The legend, which first emerged in the fifth century, has been widely disseminated throughout Europe and has had a significant impact on Western Christian culture. The author examines the various versions of the legend, tracing its development from its earliest forms to its eventual incorporation into the official Catholic liturgy. Through a comparative analysis of different manuscripts and texts, the book sheds light on the origins and transmission of the legend, and discusses its historical and theological significance. The author argues that the legend reflects the changing political and religious landscape of the early Christian era, and that it played a crucial role in shaping the relationship between the Church and the Roman Empire. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of one of the most enduring and influential legends of Christian history.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of three literary depictions of a tree, examining their role in the plots of each work. The author draws connections between these stories and real-world events, observing that trees and nature motifs appear frequently in medieval literature as symbols of inheritance, wealth, and status. Legally, trees were often at the center of property disputes. This extended beyond literature, as owning certain numbers of trees brought with it social status and legal protections. Through thoughtful analysis of literature and historical documents, the author illuminates how these abstract ideas surrounding trees have manifested throughout time.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the complex and evolving relationship between the German philosopher and literary critic Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729â"1781) and the Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza (1632â"1677). By tracing Lessing's philosophical development from his early flirtation with Leibnizianism through his deep engagement with Spinoza's ideas, the author illuminates the profound influence of Spinoza's thought on Lessing's own philosophical and theological system. Lessing's initial skepticism toward Spinoza gradually gave way to a profound appreciation of his philosophy, particularly its emphasis on the unity of God and nature. This book carefully analyzes how Lessing creatively synthesized Spinoza's ideas with his own Christian upbringing and humanistic values, resulting in a unique and influential philosophical perspective that continues to resonate with scholars and theologians today.
