Hrotsvithae Opera; Volume 34 [Latin]

Hrotsvithae Opera, Volume 34 presents the complete works of Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim, a 10th-century Saxon canoness, dramatist, and poet. Written in Latin, her works offer a unique window into the intellectual and literary life of Ottonian Germany. This collection includes her six plays, modeled after Terence but adapted to Christian themes, as well as her historical and poetic works, such as the "Carmen de gestis Oddonis I imperatoris" and the "Passio Sancti Pelagii."

Hrotsvitha's writings are notable for their sophisticated Latinity and their exploration of female virtue and agency within a religious context. Her plays, including "Gallicanus," "Dulcitius," and "Abraham," provide valuable insights into the moral and spiritual concerns of the medieval period. This edition is an essential resource for scholars of medieval literature, drama, and women's history, offering a comprehensive view of Hrotsvitha's significant contribution to European intellectual history.
