La Biblia de Amiens
John Ruskin fue durante sesenta años una de las grandes figuras del pensamiento europeo. En esta obra elige la catedral de Amiens para exponer su nostalgia por el pasado y su postura estética, moral y religiosa totalmente contraria a la sociedad industrial en que vivía. El libro incluye un interesante prefacio de Marcel Proust que, como todas las páginas proustianas, cobra enseguida vida propia más allá del tema que lo había motivado, convirtiéndose en una de sus más interesante reflexiones estéticas.
The Bible of Amiens
John Ruskin (1819-1900) wrote The Bible of Amiens in 1882 when he was sixty-three. Six years after Ruskin's death, Marcel Proust (1871-1922) published his translation La Bible d'Amiens at the age of thirty-five. This is the first translation into English of Proust's work which, in addition to the translation, includes a long preface and copious notes. The text on which this translation is based was published by Éditions Payot & Rivages in 2011.

This first volume of a two-volume Handbook treats a challenging, largely neglected subject at the crossroads of several academic fields: biblical studies, reception history of the Bible, and folklore studies or folkloristics. The Handbook examines the reception of the Bible in verbal folklores of different cultures around the globe. This first volume, complete with a general Introduction, focuses on biblically-derived characters, tales, motifs, and other elements in Jewish (Mizrahi, Sephardi, Ashkenazi), Romance (French, Romanian), German, Nordic/Scandinavian, British, Irish, Slavic (East, West, South), and Islamic folkloric traditions. The volume contributes to the understanding of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, the New Testament, and various pseudepigraphic and apocryphal scriptures, and to their interpretation and elaboration by folk commentators of different faiths. The book also illuminates the development, artistry, and “migration” of folktales; opens new areas for investigation in the reception history of the Bible; and offers insights into the popular dimensions of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities around the globe, especially regarding how the holy scriptures have informed those communities’ popular imaginations.
