Hello all,
I decided to branch out a bit from the original plan of the ASNPP and create a page for the translation I've been working on, the Nowell Codex's version of the Passion of St. Christopher, which I put together a few years ago in order to use the text in planned undergraduate classes. As far as I have been able to determine, there are no extant, modern translations of the prose life available, since it is not included in Andy Orchard's Pride and Prodigies (1995) and its translations of the Nowell Codex's prose monster texts. Therefore I felt that my work really needed to be made public sooner rather than later.
The translation is not quite done: the final paragraphs are very rough yet. I will get those into shape shortly.
As usual, if you would like to use the translation as a teaching tool, please contact me via the comments forum, so I can send you the most updated version of the text.

61% of the extant poetry and counting...
There's more to Anglo-Saxon narrative poetry than Beowulf,
and it is just as engaging, vital, and important to the classroom and scholar.
However, very little of it has been set into verse translation.
That has changed...
Use the ASNPP in your Class!
If you are teaching and wish to use any of my translations for course readings, please contact me first. I will send you the most up-to-date version, in a file formatted for easy reading and reference. All I ask in return is that you send me comments on how it worked or didn't work or other pedagogical comments that will help me shape and perfect the poems. The ASNPP is here to help out with the mission of exposing Anglo-Saxon poetry to a wider audience, so let me assist you in whatever way I can! Contact me via email if you are interested.

- Aaron Hostetter
- Aaron Hostetter is an assistant professor of medieval English at Rutgers University-Camden. His book project, tentatively titled The Matter of Cuisine: Food-ways and Medieval Romance, is a work of literary anthropology tracking the intersection of food practice, political theory, and the romance literature of medieval England, from its earliest iterations in tenth-century hagiographic narratives to their descendants of the fifteenth century, across four centuries of viands and verse, from romances in Anglo-Saxon, to Old French, and then to Middle English.
