Book Overview

Bernardus de Cura Rei Famuliaris with some Early Scottish Prophecies is a book that contains two distinct works. The first is Bernardus de Cura Rei Famuliaris, which is a medieval Latin treatise on household management and family life. It was written by Bernard of Clairvaux, a prominent monk and theologian of the 12th century. The work provides guidance on how to run a household, including advice on marriage, child-rearing, and managing servants.The second work in the book is a collection of early Scottish prophecies. These prophecies were written in the Middle Ages and offer insights into the political and social climate of Scotland during that time. They cover a range of topics, including wars, plagues, and the fate of various rulers. The prophecies are presented in their original Old Scots language, with English translations provided.The book is edited and annotated by J. Rawson Lumby, a scholar of medieval literature and history. Lumby provides introductions and notes to both works, offering context and analysis for modern readers. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of medieval literature, history, and culture, as well as anyone interested in the history of household management and family life.1870.
