Octavo. Cream dust jacket with medieval musical angel with starry blue sky on one side, red moon sky on the other. Still in publisher's plastic wrap, untouched and unopened. Very nice copy. "Richard Rolle’s Melody of Love offers manifold pathways into the Melos amoris and its world. A quintet of appendices offers an edition of a spurious chapter, marginalia and music found in one key manuscript, reconstructions of early fourteenth-century Anglo-Latin songs and recitations, and guidance through Rolle’s unusual Latin vocabulary. These materials are supported by a companion website offering audio recordings by Sine Nomine, the early music ensemble-in-residence at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, and a range of additional contextual matter. Conceived with student and scholar alike in mind, this multidisciplinary, multimedia project holds rewards for researchers not only of medieval literature, but also of medieval music, embodiment, theology, popular spirituality, and cultural history." ; Studies and Texts; Vol. 212; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 468 pages .
