The Book in the Cathedral - Christopher de Hamel - książka
Producent: Penguin Books
The murder of Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral on December 29, 1170, stands out as a pivotal episode in European history. This event gave rise to the largest pilgrimage destination of medieval Europe and inspired numerous literary works, ranging from Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" to T. S. Eliot's "Murder in the Cathedral" and Jean Anouilh's "Becket." In a remarkable feat of historical investigation, Christopher de Hamel has pinpointed the only remaining relic from Becket's shrine: the Anglo-Saxon Psalter that Becket treasured during his tenure as Archbishop of Canterbury. It is even possible that Becket held this Psalter at the time of his assassination. This finding highlights the significant rediscovery of one of medieval England's most poignant artifacts.
