The Old English Dialogues of Solomon and Saturn

by Daniel Anlezark · Daniel Anlezark (ed. & trans.)

An edition and translation of the Anglo-Saxon poetic and prose dialogues in which Solomon contends with the pagan Saturn, including the remarkable passage on the protective power of the Pater Noster, whose letters fight the devil. Anlezark's introduction explores the dialogues' sources in Eastern Solomonic lore and riddle literature. A specialist volume that reveals the early medieval roots of Solomon as master of hidden wisdom and spiritual warfare.
