Our name comes from an old inspiration, the ancient river town of Narona. Here the Roman town sits quietly under the surface but the past. Like roots of a tree, it brings to the surface remnants of ages long forgotten. Fragments of Illyria, Greece, Egypt, Rome, and ancient Croatia rise unexpectedly after a rain storm or from under a plow.

Meanwhile our logo is a boatman who traversed the river Narona, which gave the town its name.

Written around 1400, we know nothing about the text's first 200 years. The second 200 years it spent completely forgotten, even being overlooked by the compilers of the Cotton library in both 1696 and 1802.

The author is anonymous but the term is misleading. How can so many early English texts have no known authorship or exist in only one manuscript?

The answer is the Act of Supremacy in 1536.

Monastic libraries, being disassembled and destroyed for the crown's enrichment, are the only logical source that could ...
