De Gruyter Die Mirabilia Romae - German and Dutch Editions

Explore the historical complexities of Rome through this scholarly work from De Gruyter. Die Mirabilia Romae: Untersuchungen Zu Ihrer Uberlieferung provides a deep look into the two distinct descriptions found in research literature regarding the city of Rome. This volume addresses the 12th-century original Mirabilia Romae, which was preserved through manuscripts and print until the 16th century and details ancient events in Rome. It also distinguishes this from the 15th and 16th-century pilgrim guide titled Mirabilia Romae vel potius Historia et descriptio urbis Romae. This latter work offers a history of Roman emperors alongside lists of churches, relics, and indulgences. Part of the Munchener Texte Und Untersuchungen Zur Deutschen Literatur series, this book serves as a vital resource for students and historians studying medieval and Renaissance literature and Roman history. The inclusion of German and Dutch texts makes it a specialized tool for linguistic and historical analysis.
