Description
"Called by Renaissance humanist Conrad Celtes "the German Sappho," Hrotswitha (ca. 935-1000) was a prolithic author who wrote eight legends in verse, two historical epics, and six plays in rhythmic prose. This bilingual edition contains Latin text with facing English translation of her six plays, Gallicanus, Dulcitius, Callimachus, Abraham, Paphnutius, and Sapientia. The Latin text comes from the 2001 Teubner edition of Hrotswitha's works. The translations are adaptations for the stage, and include stage directions, which have been added in order to facilitate reading and performance. Students, historians, and lovers of drama will find much to enjoy"--Back cover.
