Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the à â Ë fall of the angelsà â â tradition in early medieval sermons, saintsà â â lives, legal documents and Old English biblical poetry. It argues that Anglo-Saxon authors adapted apocryphal and patristic accounts in ways that allowed them to express their ideas concerning ecclesiastical and secular power. -- .
