Dois Viajantes na Corte do Rei Alfredo

Resumo

Considerando apenas o caso medieval inglês, parece razoável admitir que alguns tipos ou formas de escrita de viagens terão existido antes de textos canónicos como The Travels of Sir John Mandeville, o anónimo The Land of Cockaygne ou The Canterbury Tales, de Geoffrey Chaucer (Século XIV). Com efeito, os dois curtos relatos que irei apresentar foram adicionados à (e incluídos na) tradução para inglês antigo da Historiarum (ou Historiae) adversum Paganos Libro Septem, de Paulo Orósio, encomendada por (e efectuada para) Alfredo, o Grande, Rei de Wessex (871-899).
