Written in 1861 but taking place in the fifteenth century, this picturesque historical novel by Charles Reade follows the story of a young scribe and illuminator named Gerard Eliason. In order to escape persecution, Gerard sets out on a journey from Holland to Rome, leaving behind the woman he loves, Margaret. Along the road Gerard meets a colorful cast of characters—including various historical figures—and explores the conflict between a person’s obligation to family versus the church.

Latin is not a dead language

The narration of this book certainly poses a challenge to any performer and while I admire Mr Ferguson for taking it on, I winced and perhaps groaned at times at his unusual pronunciation of words, and most especially the Latin passages, which were many.
