Provenance

Where it came from

The Carmina Burana is a manuscript collection of 254 poems and dramatic texts, primarily from the 11th and 12th centuries, discovered in 1803 at the Benedictine monastery of Benediktbeuern in Bavaria. Originally composed by a diverse group of itinerant scholars, students, and clerics known as the Goliards, these texts offer a vibrant, irreverent look at medieval life, ranging from bawdy drinking songs and satires to poignant reflections on fate and love.

This specific volume, part of the Penguin Classics series, serves as an accessible gateway to the collection, providing modern translations that capture the original Latin and Middle High German spirit. While the manuscript is most famous today for Carl Orff's 20th-century cantata, this edition focuses on the literary heritage of the work, emphasizing the wit and philosophical depth that made these verses significant long before they were set to music.
