Description
Abstract (cited)
This contribution presents a German translation of a navigatio which is contained in a world chronicle written by the 12th-century author Godfrey of Viterbo. He claims as his source a prose tale recorded in the monastery of Saint-Mathieu in Finistère, Brittany. In the Historia de Enoch et Elia, a group of hundred monks sets out from Saint-Mathieu to explore the regions of the sea. After an odyssey of three years, they are directed by two golden statues to a paradisiacal mountainous island in which everything is made of gold and precious stones and where they meet Enoch and Elias. On returning home to Britanny, they find that everything has changed beyond recognition; since their departure three hundred years have passed. The Latin text of the navigatio is taken from the edition by Burkhard Gotthelf Struve (1726).
