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.
