The Rhythm of Bernard de Morlaix, Monk of Cluny: On the Celestial Country (1867)

The Rhythm Of Bernard De Morlaix, Monk Of Cluny: On The Celestial Country is a book written by John Mason Neale and published in 1867. The book is a translation of a Latin poem written by Bernard de Morlaix, a monk from the Cluny monastery in France, in the 12th century. The poem, titled ""De Contemptu Mundi"" (On the Contempt of the World), describes the beauty and glory of the celestial country, or heaven, and contrasts it with the imperfections and transience of earthly life. Neale's translation of the poem is accompanied by a commentary that explains the historical and theological context of the work, as well as its literary and musical qualities. Neale was a prominent Anglican priest and hymn writer who was known for his translations of medieval Latin and Greek hymns. The Rhythm Of Bernard De Morlaix, Monk Of Cluny: On The Celestial Country is an example of Neale's interest in the spiritual and artistic heritage of the medieval church, and his belief in the continuity of Christian tradition across time and space. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of medieval literature, theology, and music, as well as for anyone interested in the history of Christian spirituality.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
