Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'De Nugis Curialium' (Courtiers' Trifles) is a captivating and eclectic collection of stories, gossip, and observations penned by Walter Map, a 12th-century archdeacon and courtier to King Henry II of England. This significant work of medieval literature offers a unique window into the intellectual and social world of the Angevin court. Map's writing traverses a diverse landscape of themes, blending historical accounts with popular folklore, satirical sketches of courtly life, and moral reflections.The text is renowned for its preservation of early legends and mythological tales, including some of the earliest mentions of spectral figures and the supernatural in English literature. Through sharp wit and keen observation, Map critiques the vanities and absurdities of the life he witnessed among the nobility and clergy.
