It depicted the trial, Passion, and crucifixion of Christ as well as his Harrowing of Hell. During the twelfth-century renaissance, some exemplars of the \u003ci\u003eEvangelium Nicodemi \u003c\/i\u003efound their way to Iceland where its text was later translated into the vernacular and known as \u003ci\u003eNiðrstigningar saga.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDario Bullitta has embarked on a highly fascinating voyage that traces the routes of transmission of the Latin text to Iceland and continental Scandinavia. He argues that the saga is derived from a less popular twelfth-century French redaction of the \u003ci\u003eEvangelium Nicodemi, \u003c\/i\u003eand that it bears the exegetical and scriptural influences of twelfth-century Parisian scholars active at Saint Victor, Peter Comestor and Peter Lombard in particular. By placing \u003ci\u003eNiðrstigningar saga \u003c\/i\u003ewithin the greater theological and homiletical context of early thirteenth-century Iceland, Bullitta successfully adds to our knowledge of the early reception of Latin biblical and apocryphal literature in medieval Iceland and provides a new critical edition and translation of the vernacular text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.2 x 6.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 15, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47336774205689,"sku":"9781442697997","price":129.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/mMvEYBNCl19781442697997.webp?v=1769671145","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/nidrstigningar-saga-sources-transmission-and-theology-of-the-old-norse-descent-into-hell-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
