Over a decade in the making,
Medieval Folklore is your A-to-Z guide to the mundane and supernatural lore of the Middle Ages. Definitive and lively articles focus on the great myths and legends of the age-daily and nightly customs and activities; religious beliefs of pagan, Christian, Muslim, and Jew; key works of oral and written literature; traditional music and art; holidays and feasts; food and drink; and plants and animals, both real and fantastic.
Especially remarkable are the surveys of the major medieval traditions, included among them Arab-Islamic (Ulrich Marzolph), Baltic (Thomas A. DuBois), English (John McNamara and Carl Lindahl), Finno-Ugric (Thomas A. DuBois), French (Francesca Canade Sautman), Hispanic (Samuel G. Armistead), Hungarian (Eva Pocs), Irish (Joseph Falaky Nagy), Italian (Giuseppe C. Di Scipio), Jewish (Eli Yassif), Scandinavian (Stephen A. Mitchell), Scottish (John McNamara), Slavic (Eve Levin), and Welsh (Elissa R. Henken and Brynley F. Roberts).
For anyone who has ever wanted a path through the tangle of Arthurian legends, or the real lowdown on St. Patrick, or the last word on wolf lore--this is the place.
