Description
Reading Medieval Latin is an introduction to medieval Latin in its cultural and historical context and is designed to serve the needs of students who have completed the learning of basic classical Latin morphology and syntax. (Users of Reading Latin will find that it follows on after the end of section 5 of that course.) It is an anthology, organised chronologically and thematically in four parts. Each part is divided into chapters with introductory material, texts, and commentaries which show more give help with syntax, sentence-structure, and background. There are brief sections on medieval orthography and grammar, together with a vocabulary which includes words (or meanings) not found in standard classical dictionaries. The texts chosen cover areas of interest to students of medieval history, philosophy, theology, and literature. show lessTags

This volume as it now appears is far more than a “beginner’s” textbook in Medieval Latin. In its own right it is a valuable anthology that encapsulates many aspects of the medieval world and offers its readers much guidance for further study. Reading Medieval Latin will become an essential tool for teachers and an instructive, stimulating, and enjoyable volume for students.
