This is the first English translation of the "Satires." The "Eupolemius" is a late-eleventh-century Latin epic that recasts salvation history, from Lucifer s fall through Christ s resurrection.

It emulates classical Latin epics by Virgil, Lucan, and Statius and responds creatively to the foundational personification allegory by the Christian poet Prudentius. The poem was composed by an anonymous German monk, possibly the author who used the pseudonym Amarcius. Although it focuses on events of both the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, it is also rooted in its own momentous times.".…
