Mediæval Latin lyrics by
Helen Waddell(
Book
)
180 editions published between 1929 and 2013 in 4 languages and held by 2,307 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This selection traces the development of the medieval Latin lyric from its source in the first century A.D. to its full flowering in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The wandering scholars, or vagantes, who flourished in the later Middle Ages, left behind them a splendid harvest of poetry, including the most famous anthology of medieval lyric, the "Carmina Burana". These poems of love and wine, of life and death, were written not to be read, but to be sung; in her translation, which is set alongside the Latin, Helen Waddell succeeds in capturing the rhythmic vitality and youthful flavour of the original

Helen Waddell(
Book
)
14 editions published between 1936 and 2011 in English and held by 1,110 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
By the fourth century A.D., devout Christians--men and women alike--had begun to retreat from cities and villages to the deserts of North Africa and Asia Minor, where they sought liberation from their corrupt society and the confining shell of the social self. The Desert Fathers is the perfect introduction to the stories and sayings of these heroic pioneers of the contemplative tradition. Selected and translated by Helen Waddell, The Desert Fathers opens a window onto early Christianity while presenting us with touchingly human models of faith, humility, and compassion

7 editions published in 1996 in English and held by 139 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"These stories of animals and saints, taken from the Desert Fathers and the Celtic saints, were first translated and made available by Helen Waddell more than half a century ago. Ester de Waal now introduces these personages to a new audience that will be equally beguiled by the world they evoke." "Readers meet a range of creatures, from lions and hyenas, otters and hares, to a mouse, a fly, and a frog. All creatures, whether they be big or small, beautiful or not, are given their own voices, and, in reading about their relationships with saints such as Columba, Jerome, Cuthbert, and Simeon Stylites, readers are taken back to the early days of the Christian heritage and the holistic spirituality that belongs to that world - a world in which miracles are commonplace and Christian legend comes to life."--BOOK JACKET
