       Over a decade in the making, Medieval Folklore offers a
       wide-ranging guide to the lore of the Middle Ages--from the
       mundane to the supernatural. Definitive and lively articles
       focus on the great tales and traditions of the age and includes
       information on daily and nightly customs and activities;
       religious beliefs of the pagan, Christian, Muslim, and Jew; key
       works of oral and written literature; traditional music and art;
       holidays and feasts; food and drink; and plants and animals,
       both real and fantastical.
       While most books on medieval folklore focus primarily on the
       West, this unique volume brings together an eclectic range of
       experts to treat the subject from a global perspective.
       Especially remarkable are the surveys of the major medieval
       traditions including Arab-Islamic, Baltic, English, Finno-Ugric,
       French, Hispanic, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Jewish,
       Scandinavian, Scottish, Slavic, and Welsh.
       For anyone who has ever wanted a path through the tangle of
       Arthurian legends, or the real lowdown on St. Patrick, or the
       last word on wolf lore--this is the place to look.
