theses Parisiensi Litterarum Facultati proponebat S. G. Sandras in
Lycaeo Claromontensi Professor. Parisiis, Apud A. Durand, Bibliopolam,
1859. 8vo, pp. 87. Beowulf described _Cap. Primum_, § 2, De Profana
Poesi, pp. 10-19.
Extracts Translated into Latin Prose.
The only significance of this book is that it contained the first
information about _Beowulf_ given to the French public. About ten lines
are literally translated in Cap. I, § 1, all under the general title, De
Poesi Saxonica. In § 2 the poem is rather carefully sketched, much after
the manner of Leo[1], from Beowulf’s arrival in the Danish land to the
fight with Grendel.
