Saints and Sinners on Horseback: Volume 1
Edited by Miriam A. Bibby
Trivent Publishing
ISBN: 978-615-6405-86-9
A collection of 11 essays dealing with horses and their riders in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Era. They range from those animals mentioned in saints’ lives to those who were just being stolen in the English countryside.
Excerpt:
The inspiration for Saints and Sinners on Horseback was twofold. Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, it was a natural outgrowth from the flourishing contemporary research of medievalist and early modern scholars specialising in the contribution of equids and equestrianism to human history… Secondly, personal research into the ecclesiastical connections between England and Scotland in early modern times brought forth an unexpected muse for Saints and Sinners. This was Archbishop Whitgift of Canterbury (1530-1604), who, though long-dead, was still capable of impressing his character on the reader.
Who is this book for?
This collection of essays will be of most interest to those who study animals in the Middle Ages, horses in particular. Many of the papers will find an audience with those researching ecclesiastical history, especially hagiography.
We have featured one of the articles in the volume in Joan of Arc rode 3,000 miles on horseback, study finds
A second volume of Saints and Sinners on Horseback has also just been published.
