Now available! Beowulf: Translation and Commentary by Tom Shippey and Leonard Neidorf. Visit: uppsalabooks.com/beowulf
You know Walther from the Old English "Waldere" and the Medieval Latin "Waltharius," but did you know that he also appears in 10 Medieval German texts?
All of the relevant German passages are edited and translated in "The Legend of Walther of Aquitaine: Medieval German Texts & Translations."
Step into Bede's classroom and learn a bit of Latin from him and @grahamscheper!
Here's something to be excited about: "Hoarded Gold: A Book of Old English Wisdom" by Eleanor Parker (@ClerkofOxford) will be published by Uppsala Books and available worldwide before the end of November!
Follow us (@UppsalaBooks) for more announcements about this book and other exciting new releases.
Did you know that the fertility god Priapus plays an important role in Walahfrid Strabo's "Little Garden" poem? #medieval #garden #mythology
You've read Cicero, Seneca, and the Aeneid, but have you read Bede, Walahfrid, and the Waltharius?
Consider reading some works of Medieval Latin literature (in facing-page translation) this holiday season!

A nice little book came in the mail, and for the first time I have the actual words (in the language he wrote, that is) of my patron saint. Thanks @grahamscheper & @UppsalaBooks—this looks great!
Thanks @ClerkofOxford for endorsing this book!
"This hugely valuable book will be an essential introduction to Bede’s work for anyone interested in medieval history, literature, and religion." - Eleanor Parker

Inside the Medieval Garden: Poppies!
Walahfrid Strabo, author of "The Little Garden," had some interesting ideas about the etymology of "poppy."
Like "Beowulf," Walahfrid Strabo's "Little Garden" poem offers a unique view of life in the early medieval period. Check it out!
