The Girdle Legend Of Prato - Robert Charles Jenkins - Bog

The Girdle Legend of Prato: A Metrical Sketch is a book written by Robert Charles Jenkins and published in 1879. The book tells the story of a legendary girdle, or belt, that was said to have miraculous properties. The girdle was allegedly worn by the Virgin Mary and was given to a woman named Gualdrada, who lived in the Italian city of Prato in the 12th century. According to the legend, Gualdrada was able to conceive a child after wearing the girdle, despite being previously unable to do so. The book is written in verse and is a retelling of the legend, with a focus on the girdle's journey from the Holy Land to Prato. The author includes historical and cultural details to provide context for the legend, and the book is considered an important contribution to the study of medieval Italian literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
