Im working on a list of Christian Poetic narratives from all points in history, from anywhere geographically. Problem is, is I hit a wall, and ran out of narratives. You guys know any that I should add?

I’m curious about a work you have called “The Sacrifice of Abraham,” it’s credited to anonymous on your chart and I can’t find anything about it by googling. I’m trying stuff like “the sacrifice of Abraham narrative” “the sacrifice of Abraham epic poem” and I just can’t find it. Do you have any resource on this work, or even an online edition?

It is a Byzantine Cretan play from the Greek renaissance, written at the same time as erotokritos.

>The mystery play of The Sacrifice of Abraham is a little psychological masterpiece, apparently an independent work. The familiar and trite Biblical incidents are reset in the patriarchal environment of Greek family life. The poet emphasizes the mental struggles of Sarah, the resignation of Abraham to the Divine will, the anxious forebodings of Isaac, and the affectionate sympathy of the servants, in other words, a psychological analysis of the characters. The mainspring of the action is Sarah's fore-knowledge of what is to happen, evidently the invention of the poet to display the power of maternal love. The diction is distinguished by high poetic beauty and by a thorough mastery of versification.

What translaysh of La Commedia do you prefer? I got the Mandelbaum one but the charts here show Ciardi. Im assuming either is fine for a first time reader. And yes I know about the translations chart for the book but I was wondering what Catholics think, as one.

My personal suggestions:

St. Francis of Sale's Philothea;

Antonio Rosmini's "of the five wounds of the Church";

Andrei Tarkovsky's Sculpting in Time [more of a book on film making, but Tarkovsky's religous views permeate this work];

all of Tolkien's, Lewis' and Chesterton's works [and especially Tolkien's letters and essays]


962d7c No.616639

>>616568

if you like Silence, Shusaku's The Samurai, Wonderful Fool and Volcano are some of his other great works. I'm reading all of what he wrote, and the style and torment of this Catholic in such a non-Christian society is deeply intriguing for a struggling faithful such as me.

There is a surprising lack of french authors.

Here's what we could add, even though I'm not sure you could find them all in english. These I have read and enjoyed.

Georges Bernanos

-Journal d'un curé de campagne ( Diary of a countryside priest)

-Sous le soleil de Satan ( Under the sun of Satan)

-Nouvelle histoire de Mouchette ( Mouchette )

-Dialogue des Carmélites ( Dialogues of the Carmelites)

Pierre Corneille :

-Polyeucte

-Théodore

Jean Racine :

-Esther

-Athalie

-Poems from Scriptures

Those not yet, but I heard they're good.

Léon Bloy, Paul Claudel,Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly, Charles Péguy.

I would add Gregorious, Der arme Heinrich and Parzival. True, the latter two are about a knights, but unlike the poems mentioned here >>616694 they're much more about spiritual journeys than "deeds of chivalry", Heinrich especially. Even Jerusalem Delivered has more knights doing knightly things than those two.

>still on the look out for Orthodox, Coptic, and Eastern lit

From Russia, there is John of Damascus by Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy, which is about the life of St. John of Damascus. From the Byzantine Empire there's Digenes Akritas, which is weird mixture of Greek epics, Slavic folk songs, and Orthodox themes. From Hungary there is The Siege of Sziget, which about Battle of Szigetvár. Those are the only ones I can think of that you could call Christian rather than secular.
