The Unwritten Seven-Seven Challenge:

75 book challenges? 50 book challenges? Hey - like the song says, "I'm no Superman." I gave fleeting consideration to the number "10" and then dismissed it as being far too ambitious, settling instead on the 7-7 Challenge.

The Challenge: read seven historically significant works written in seven consecutive centuries during the Mediæval Period in their original languages. My personal picks for 2011:

9th Century: Latin: Einhard: Vita Karoli Magni

10th Century: Hebrew: רבי שלמה יצחקי‎: חומש‎ מדרש‎

11th Century: English: Beowulf

12th Century: Greek: Άννα Κομνηνή: Ἀλεξιάς

13th Century: German: Mechthild von Magdeburg: Das fliessende Licht der Gottheit

14th Century: Italian: Giovanni Villani: Nuova Cronica

15th Century: French: La Farce de Maître Pierre Pathelin

The Prize: I don't know about you, but I'm treating myself to a nice dinner when I'm finished.
