More about the book
Focusing on the philosophical depth of "Sôbolos rios," this work explores Christian humanism through its connection to the psalm Super flumina Babylonis. Fleming's study examines the poem's allegorical scriptural exegesis, highlighting themes such as the significance of the psalms and David's image in European poetry, the interplay of pagan myth and biblical truth, and Camoes's intricate intertextuality. Additionally, it addresses the influence of Juan Boscán and the poem's numerological complexities, as well as the palinode as a literary and moral concept.
