商品描述

Adam of Bremen's Gesta Hammaburgensis Ecclesiae Pontificum is one of the most important accounts documenting the history, geography and ethnology of Northern and Central-Eastern Europe in the period between the ninth and eleventh centuries. Its author, a canon of the archdiocese of Hamburg-Bremen, remains an almost anonymous figure but his text is an essential source for the study of the early medieval Baltic. However, despite its undisputed status, past scholarship has tended to treat Adam of Bremen's account as, on the one hand, an historically accurate document, but on the other, a literary artefact containing few, if any, reliable historical facts. The studies collected in this volume investigate the origins and context of the Gesta and will enable researchers to better understand and evaluate the historical veracity of the text.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

亞當·布雷門的《漢堡大主教教堂的事蹟》是記錄九至十一世紀北歐和中東歐地區歷史、地理和民族學的最重要文獻之一。該書的作者是漢堡-布雷門大主教區的一位修道士,他的身份幾乎是匿名的,但他的文字是研究早期中世紀波羅的海地區的重要資料來源。然而,儘管它的地位無可爭議,過去的學術研究往往將亞當·布雷門的記載視為一個歷史準確的文件,但同時也是一個包含少量或沒有可靠歷史事實的文學藝術品。本書收集的研究探討了《漢堡大主教教堂的事蹟》的起源和背景,將使研究人員更好地理解和評估該文本的歷史真實性。
