Jorge L. Bueno's Exeter Book Riddles awarded by AEDEAN

16/12/2021

A few days ago, LVTC member Jorge L. Bueno received the AEDEAN 2021 Best Translation of the Year Award for his commented Galician verse translation of the Exeter Book Riddles, being thus the first academic in winning this award more than once in its 35 years -- his translations of Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight received the award in 2010 and 2014.The volume, derived from his philological research on translatorial variation in Old English, presents a complete verse translation of the 96 texts preceeded by an introductory essay on riddles as a textual category and followed by commented solutions for each poem. The volume, first one of its kind in a Romance language, has been published by Rinoceronte Editora as number 37 of its Vétera Literary Classics Series. Link: https://rinoceronte.gal/libros/adivinas-medievais-do-libro-de-exeter/
