The Laud Troy Book

The Laud Troy Book

D M Smith

Independently Published
2019
pokkari
In medieval Britain, the works of Homer were practically unknown. In his absence, the half-remembered story of the Trojan War took on a distinctly Arthurian flavour, with the heroes Achilles and Hector reimagined as armoured knights on horseback, duelling with broadsword and lance. Of the various British poetical histories of the Trojan War, the Laud Troy Book is perhaps the least studied. This untitled, 18,664-line poem survives in the unique MS. Laud Misc. 595, which once formed part of a collection of medieval manuscripts belonging to the Archbishop William Laud-a favourite of Charles I, executed for treason in the lead-up to the English Civil War. Dating from about 1400 AD, the Laud Troy Book represents an anonymous Middle English poet's attempt to render the Latin prose Historia Destructionis Troiae of Guido delle Colonne as a chivalric romance in octosyllabic verse-unwittingly restoring Guido's narrative to its twelfth-century roots in Beno t de Sainte-Maure's Roman de Troie. In the third volume in this series, the Laud Troy Book receives its first translation into Modern English. The text is fully annotated, with a glossary of uncommon and untranslatable words, and includes a detailed introduction tracing the development of the Troy myth from Homer and the Cyclic Poets to its re-emergence as a courtly romance in the Middle Ages.

The Ancient Egyptian Family

The Ancient Egyptian Family

Troy D. Allen

Routledge
2014
nidottu
Scholars in Egyptology have often debated the following question: was the ancient Egyptian society organized along patrilineal or matrilineal lines? In taking a fresh and innovative look at the ancient Egyptian family, Allen attempts to solve this long-standing puzzle. Allen argues that the matrilineal nature of the ancient Egyptian family and social organization provides us with the key to understanding why and how ancient Egyptian women were able to rise to power, study medicine, and enjoy basic freedoms that did not emerge in Western Civilization until the twentieth century. More importantly, by examining the types of families that existed in ancient Egypt along with highlighting the ancient Egyptians' kinship terms, we can place the ancient Egyptian civilization in the cultural context and incubator of Black Africa. This groundbreaking text is a must-read for Historians and those working in African Studies and Egyptology.

War in Chronicles

War in Chronicles

Troy D. Cudworth

T. T.Clark Ltd
2016
sidottu
Taking on the established view of Chronicles, which uses retribution theology - the view that the author of Chronicles re-worked the texts in Samuel-Kings to demonstrate that Yahweh rewards the good and punishes the wicked - Troy Cudworth argues that this cause-effect relationship is maintained primarily through the treatment of the themes of war and temple-faithfulness. Cudworth identifies a division of kings into categories, with the immediate exception of David, who belongs in his own category as he pioneered the two most foundational elements of the temple cult. For this reason, he also won many battles to secure Israel's place in the land. The next two groups of kings can be dichotomised in the following way: those who show faithfulness to the temple cult and its practices, and those who neglect it.Based on their attitude to the temple, the Chronicler illustrates how the kings either prosper in the land through military victory or suffer attack. Although many kings begin as faithful in supporting orthodox temple practices, and thus prosper on the battlefield, none of these kings are consistent and persevere in their faithfulness and so their success either stops immediately, or they suffer attack. Conversely, other kings are illustrated who, despite committing some of the worst sins in Israel's history, repent immediately after their swift punishment. Across all of these cases, it is shown how temple faithfulness always ultimately guarantees peace and security for Israel.
