The Moralized Ovid Bersuire Pierre
An influential medieval allegorical interpretation of the Metamorphoses that uncovers the hidden moral truths of Ovid's stories, translated into English for the first time.Written in about 1340 in Avignon by the Benedictine preacher Pierre Bersuire, The Moralized Ovid--commonly referred to by its Latin title, Ovidius moralizatus, to distinguish it from the anonymous French vernacular Ovide moralis--was arguably the most influential interpretation of Ovid's Metamorphoses in the High Middle Ages. Originally intended as a sourcebook of exempla for preachers' sermons, The Moralized Ovid provides not only a window into the reception of classical literature in the fourteenth century but also amazingly vivid details of daily life in the Middle Ages It circulated widely in manuscript form and was frequently printed during the Renaissance.
