A Primer of Medieval Latin was published with two purposes in mind: to provide a collection of material to prepare students to read ordinary medieval Latin texts and to meet the need of advanced students by furnishing an anthology of medieval Latin prose and poetry. PRAISE FOR THE BOOK: "The anthology reflects a broad literary and historical interest. . . . Too high praise cannot be given the choice of selections. Whether the student's interests lie in the medieval drama, the short story, the lyric, historical writing, he will find examples long enough to be enlightening, competently chosen and admirably edited."-- Speculum

The goal of this anthology is twofold: (1) to build confidence in the student's ability to read unaltered Latin texts as soon as possible after (or even during) the first year of instruction in the language; (2) to put into the hands of Latin students a number of engaging and lively texts that reflect different aspects of the culture of Western Europe during the Middle Ages. To accomplish the above, this book provides vocabulary and commentary to a selection of texts taken from Charles H. Beeson's A Primer of Medieval Latin: An Anthology of Poetry and Prose (Chicago, 1925). Now nearly a century old, Beeson's anthology is still, perhaps, the single best collection of Medieval Latin texts available, at least in terms of its breadth, accessibility, and success at achieving its stated goal of "provid[ing] a collection of material that will prepare students, who have had at least four years of high-school Latin, to read ordinary medieval Latin texts with a fair degree of ease and assurance." (Beeson, 1) Beeson's Primer has aged incredibly well, with one exception: its intended audience of "students, who have had at least four years of high-school Latin," is now largely a thing of the past. Today's undergraduates, if they took Latin in high school, will most likely have studied only 1-2 years of the language before matriculation. Indeed, the majority of college Latin students will only on rare occasions pursue the language beyond two semesters. For these reasons, I have chosen from Beeson's anthology texts which I believe are both the most engaging and the most accessible. Admittedly, this is a very personal selection, but one that I have found success with in the classroom for over two decades. What is most sorely lacking for today's students in terms of Beeson's original anthology is its extremely limited assistance with vocabulary (due to the fact that the undergraduates of Beeson's day had already had at least four years of exposure to the language). On the understanding that the presumed audience for this text has only studied Latin, on average, for one year, this edition remedies that deficiency by providing significant vocabulary assistance. The notes of this anthology also explicate certain syntactical and grammatical aspects that may be challenging for beginning-intermediate students, point out some of the more striking literary/rhetorical figures and tropes that are employed, and supply basic information on historical, social, cultural, and literary issues raised by these texts. With the exception of the two poems from the Carmina Burana, which lose much of their power, charm, wit, and in the case of the second poem-the last selection in this anthology-manic energy if not performed out loud with all of the rhymes intact, the words of the texts follow Classical Latin spelling norms. Thus in the prose selections of this anthology one will find mihi, not the common Medieval Latin spelling of michi, aetas instead of etas, etc. This too is in line with Beeson's practice, for he thought it best "to avoid adding to the troubles of the beginner... by "adopt[ing] the classical orthography throughout, ..." (Beeson, 3)

K. P. Harrington's Mediaeval Latin, the standard medieval Latin anthology used in the United States since its initial publication in 1925, has now been completely revised and updated for today's students and teachers by Joseph Pucci. This new edition of the classic anthology retains its breadth of coverage, but increases its depth by adding fourteen new selections, doubling the coverage of women writers, and expanding a quarter of the original selections. The new edition also includes a substantive grammatical introduction by Alison Goddard Elliott. To help place the selections within their wider historical, social, and political contexts, Pucci has written extensive introductory essays for each of the new edition's five parts. Headnotes to individual selections have been recast as interpretive essays, and the original bibliographic paragraphs have been expanded. Reprinted from the best modern editions, the selections have been extensively glossed with grammatical notes geared toward students of classical Latin who may be reading medieval Latin for the first time. Includes thirty-two full-page plates (with accompanying captions) depicting medieval manuscript and book production.

Organized with the assistance of an international advisory committee of medievalists from several disciplines, Medieval Latin: An Introduction and Bibliographical Guide is a new standard guide to the Latin language and literature of the period from c. A.D. 200 to 1500. It promises to be indispensable as a handbook in university courses in Medieval Latin and as a point of departure for the study of Latin texts and documents in any of the fields of medieval studies. Comprehensive in scope, the guide provides introductions to, and bibliographic orientations in, all the main areas of Medieval Latin language, literature, and scholarship. Part One consists of an introduction and sizable listing of general print and electronic reference and research tools. Part Two focuses on issues of language, with introductions to such topics as Biblical and Christian Latin, and Medieval Latin pronunciation, orthography, morphology and syntax, word formation and lexicography, metrics, prose styles, and so on. There are chapters on the Latin used in administration, law, music, commerce, the liturgy, theology and philosophy, science and technology, and daily life. Part Three offers a systematic overview of Medieval Latin literature, with introductions to a wide range of genres and to translations from and into Latin. Each chapter concludes with a bibliography of fundamental works--texts, lexica, studies, and research aids. This guide satisfies a long-standing need for a reference tool in English that focuses on medieval latinity in all its specialized aspects. It will be welcomed by students, teachers, professional latinists, medievalists, humanists, and general readers interested in the role of Latin as the learned lingua franca of western Europe. It may also prove valuable to reference librarians assembling collections concerned with Latin authors and texts of the postclassical period. ABOUT THE EDITORS F. A. C. Mantello is professor of Medieval Latin at The Catholic University of America. A. G. Rigg is professor of English and medieval studies and chairman of the Medieval Latin Committee at the University of Toronto's Centre for Medieval Studies. PRASIE FOR THE BOOK "This extraordinary volume, joint effort of dozens of scholars in eight countries, will be in constant use for research, for advising students and designing courses, and for answering the queries of nonmedievalist colleagues. . . . Medieval Latin provides a foundation for advances in research and teaching on a wide front. . . . Though Mantello and Rigg's Medieval Latin is a superb reference volume, I recommend that it also be read from beginning to end--in small increments, of course. The rewards will be sheaves of notes and an immensely enriched appreciation of Medieval Latin and its literature."--Janet M. Martin, Princeton University, Speculum "A remarkable achievement, and no one interested in medieval Latin can afford to be without it."--Journal of Ecclesiastical History "Everywhere there is clarity, conclusion, judicious illustration, and careful selection of what is central. This guide is a major achievement and will serve Medieval Latin studies extremely well for the foreseeable future."--The Classical Review
