The Booke of Ovyde Named Methamorphose
William Caxton
Edited by Richard Moll
In this marvellous edition of William Caxton’s Booke of Ovyde Named
Methamorphose, Richard Moll has made available one of the most
neglected texts produced by England’s famous printer. Existing in a
single manuscript that was split in two parts and lost until its
rediscovery in the s, the Ovyde has garnered little critical
attention. Yet as the first Englishing of Ovid’s Metamorphoses,
Caxton’s translation paved the way for later versions of a work that
influenced nearly every medieval and Renaissance writer.
Moll very ably embeds the Ovyde in the complicated history of French
verse models and prose commentaries that preceded it. His fine
introduction also slyly refocuses our attention on Caxton’s role as a

translator who painstakingly grappled with texts before ushering
them into print. In doing so Moll has not only expanded the history
of the English Ovidian tradition but has also made an important
contribution to our understanding of Caxton.

ISBN 978–0–88844–184–3

All books in the British Writers series are co-
published with The Bodleian Library,
Oxford. Customers from Europe, including the
United Kingdom, should order these titles from
Bodleian Library Publishing.
This volume succeeds admirably as an introduction to the works of Peter
of Cornwall, prior of Holy Trinity, Aldgate, London (c. –),
with a particular focus on his monumental Liber reuelationum,
preserved uniquely in London, Lambeth Palace Library, MS . The
authors blend the old with the new in a series of revised articles and a
large selection of editions, translations and discussions of unpublished
texts, some unique to the Lambeth manuscript. The heart of this study is
the publication of the Calendar, which documents the contents of the
entire collection of the Liber reuelationum. It offers an indispensable
guide to the source texts available to Peter and provides access to
hundreds of often macabre but edifying tales that remain unedited. Its
value as a finding tool is enhanced by three indices that enable the
reader to search the Calendar by author, work, and name. In the course
of illuminating the various contexts of Peter’s writings, the authors
control an impressive span of interdisciplinary scholarship, which ranges
over Irish and English monastic records, biblical scholarship, social
history, vision literature, and the Cistercian Order in England and on the

Continent.

One of the basic tasks of boys in grammar schools in
England up to the s was to compose and study Latin
sentences. Collections of such sentences survive in
manuscripts and printed books from the s to the s.

They can often be traced to particular schools or teachers,
and provide a rich source of evidence about education and
society during the period.
This book contains an edition of eleven manuscript
collections of exercises and one printed collection. Together
with four collections of the early sixteenth century that have
already been published, it makes available to readers the vast
majority of this genre of evidence. A general introduction
explains the nature and contents of the exercises, and there is
a detailed introduction to each text. Translations of Latin
and Middle English are provided, along with copious notes
and an index listing all the topics of the exercises.
In his latest of many distinguished contributions to the history of medieval
education, Nicholas Orme edits and translates into modern English twelve sets of the
translation exercises known as ‘latins.’ Devised to teach Anglophone boys the basics
of Latin composition, these hundreds of short texts do much more than illustrate
pedagogical methods that continued in use even as medieval gave way to humanist
Latin in the schools. They provide fascinating glimpses of fifteenth- and early
sixteenth-century English popular culture and everyday life as viewed by adolescents
aspiring to worldly success while enduring outbreaks of plague, bad meals, and
especially the master’s harsh discipline.

A proper understanding of Elizabethan England,
scholars now realize, requires careful consideration of
the previously maligned and marginalized Catholic
perspective. Elizabethan Jesuits, albeit few in number,
loom large in this perspective because of their spiritual
writings, controversial treatises, devotional poetry, and
archival remains, as well as the “moral panic”
occasioned by their reputation within the Elizabethan
government. England provided the new Society of Jesus
with unique opportunities and special challenges. The
few Jesuits within the kingdom lived and worked
clandestinely, oftentimes in great fear and without the
safety of a religious community, an ecclesiastical
structure, and government approbation.
The articles collected here, some of which appear in
English for the first time, consider different aspects of
their ministries as they formulated positions on
occasional conformity to the Established Church,
martyrologies, succession to the English throne, and
religious involvement in political matters, as well as the
difficulty of maintaining the support of their often
perplexed continental colleagues.

Robert Grosseteste
and His Intellectual Milieu
Robert Grosseteste (ca –) has many claims on our
attention. As a theologian, philosopher, scientist, translator,
educator, pastor, and bishop he left an enduring mark on the
scholarly, ecclesiastical, and political life of England. This
volume focuses on his place in the intellectual life of his time
and on his written legacy. It includes scholarly editions and
English versions of Grosseteste’s On Light, his Latin translation
of John of Damascus’s Dialogue of the Christian and the Saracen,
and his Sermon  on the Ten Commandments – three texts
which demonstrate the range of their author’s thought and
make important contributions to their respective fields.

The De diversitate temporum, written in the early
eleventh century by Alpert of Metz, is one of the
indispensable contemporary accounts for our
understanding of the history of the Low
Countries at the turn of the first millennium.
With a keen eye for detail, Alpert offers
insightful anecdotes about people from all walks
of life, while at the same time providing a
regional perspective on the important political,
social, economic, and military affairs of the
period.
In addition to its significance for the history of
the Low Countries, Alpert’s work provides
considerable insight into the organization of the

German kingdom at a point of transition that
was marked by the end of the Ottonian dynasty
with the death of Henry II in .

The Trial of the Talmud that took place in Paris in
 has been the subject of a number of trenchant
studies over the years. The present volume, with its
felicitous, annotated translations of the Hebrew
protocol along with a series of crucial papal letters
and other church documents, places before an
English-language readership for the first time a
corpus of the essential primary texts that have
framed the earlier scholarly discussions and
analyses. The masterful overview by Robert Chazan
effectively locates this disputation in its historical
and literary contexts through a deft, critical
synthesis of the previous studies; it also offers new
insights which will undoubtedly serve to shape
further discussion of this episode. This volume
should be of great interest to scholars and students
of Jewish history and thought, Jewish–Christian
relations, and polemical literature of the middle
ages.

William of Auvergne, bishop of Paris from  to
his death in , was not only one of the most
prolific writers in philosophy and theology of the
first half of the thirteenth century but also one of the
first to use the new translations of Greek and Islamic
thought that poured into the Latin West in that
century.
On Morals, the second part of William’s treatise On
the Virtues and the Vices, forms one component of his
vast The Teaching on God in the Mode of Wisdom. In
On Morals he extols the value of the nine virtues –
faith, fear, hope, charity, piety, zeal, poverty,
humility, and patience – in a sophisticated narrative
where each of the virtues speaks for itself, explaining
its importance.

Thomas Hatfield (c. –) rose from origins
amongst the Yorkshire gentry to become a valued
royal servant under King Edward III. In  he
was elected Bishop of Durham, an office he held
until his death. As bishop he retained a strong
connection with royal service. He was also
employed in the management of northern England
and England’s relations with Scotland. At the same
time, he remained a dedicated advocate of the
autonomy of the Durham palatinate over which he
ruled as bishop. Hatfield’s long episcopacy ensured
that he made his mark on his bishopric and on the
cathedral church of Durham, where his elaborate
tomb is still seen. Hatfield College, a college of
Durham University, is named after him.
Based on a series of lectures given at Hatfield
College in , the assumed seven hundredth
anniversary of Thomas Hatfield’s birth, this volume
highlights the unique military, political, and
clerical roles he performed and his notable legacies.
The studies in this volume advance knowledge of
both the man and his remarkable career and, in so
doing, enhance understanding of the wider secular
and religious world in which he lived.

Thomas Hatfield
Bishop, Soldier, and Politician
Edited by Anthony Bash
The House of Fame is an omnivorous poem. Like
its own “House of Rumour,” it draws in a
multiplicity of material: literary and
technological; old and new; learned and lewde.
When Nicholas Havely’s edition of Chaucer’s
fantastical dream-poem first appeared, reviewers
called it “essential reading for those planning to
write about the House of Fame” (Speculum), and
“an edition which will be useful and informative
to both students and Chaucer scholars
alike” (RES).
In this new version of Havely’s edition, the
introduction and commentary have been
thoroughly revised to take account of recent
scholarship on the poem, glossing in footnotes to
the text and at the end of the volume has been
extended, and a number of minor errors have
been corrected.

This collection of twenty-one essays is based on papers

The studies in this text explore protection (or “peace”) as
a fundamental motor of medieval society that helped
form social bonds and provided a framework for the
legitimate use of force. The essays suggest that this

concept is a valuable counterpoint to more traditional
“institutional” understandings of power.

Old English Minor Heroic Poems
Edited by Joyce Hill
Third edition • DMRT 2. 2009. viii, 131 pp.

The four heroic poems edited here give tantalising
insights into the world of Old English heroic poetry: its
ideals of behaviour, the role of the poet in establishing
heroic reputation, and the rich array of legends which
made up a powerful world of the imagination set in the
creative ethnicity of a Germanic past.

Vafþrúðnismál
Edited by Tim W. Machan
Second edition • DMRT 1. 2008. viii, 142 pp.
ISBN 978–0–88844–561–2 • $22.95
Vafþrúðnismál recounts how one day the mysterious and
powerful god Óðinn visits the hall of an ancient giant
named Vafþrúðnir. There the two engage in a wisdom
contest about how the world was created, who inhabits
it, and what will come of it when the gods and giants
battle one last time at the world-ending Ragnar
ǫk. By the
time the game ends, and the poem with it, the reader has
witnessed a vista not only of the terror and mystery of
medieval Scandinavia, but of its beauty as well.
Robert Grosseteste’s treatise De colore is presented
here in an authoritative new critical edition, with

translation, commentary on its context, and a
functional analysis from the perspective of modern
science. The volume emanates from a series of
interdisciplinary meetings, involving medieval
specialists (from history, literary studies, history of
philosophy, and palaeography) and modern scientists
(from psychology and physics). This unique
combination of insights allows new and deeper
appreciation of Grosseteste’s treatise and the
significance of his methods and observations.

Here within one interdisciplinary volume, the
authors give us a critical edition that is not only set in
its historical context but is also powerfully interpreted
by modern colour science.

Introduction, and his exemplary
annotations bring alive a host of
literary, philosophical, theological
and scientific sources to create a
richly nuanced portrait of the
intellectual and cultural scene in late
thirteenth-century Paris.”

PONTIFICAL INSTITUTE OF MEDIAEVAL STUDIES
Modes of Authorship in the
Middle Ages
Edited by Slavica Ranković
with Ingvil Brügger Budal, Aidan
Conti, Leidulf Melve, and Else Mundal

2012. viii, 428 pp.
ISBN 978–0–88844–822–4
PMS 22 • Cloth • $90.00

“Modes of Authorship in the Middle
Ages deserves a warm welcome. The
articles, centred on the relationships
between individual creativity and
communal tradition, illustrate the
interplay of the two by ranging
broadly across medieval cultures and
genres. The result is a cross
disciplinary approach that will
stimulate scholars of literary history,
theory, manuscript studies and art
history to view notions of agency,
originality, and textuality in a new
light.”

Sodomy in the
Age of Peter Damian

“Glenn Olsen has produced a
magisterial work, grounded in a
breathtaking depth and breadth of
scholarship. Delving into the
complex issues surrounding the
understanding of same-sex desire and
sexual relations in the middle ages, he
challenges the significant modern
contributions to the field and proposes
new approaches to conventional and
unconventional sources. It is an
important and controversial
contribution to the discussion.”

Beneventan Discoveries
Collected Manuscript
Catalogues, 1978–2008
Edited by Roger E. Reynolds
2012. xxiv, 428 pp.
ISBN 978–0–88844–179–9
ST 179; MLB 6 • Cloth • $90.00
“Virginia Brown was the foremost
scholar of Beneventan script, and her
many publications from  to 
served to revolutionize our
knowledge of the production and

dissemination of this miniscule script
written in Southern Italy. In
collecting her work on the subject,
this volume brings to the attention of
scholars thousands of new
manuscripts and manuscript
fragments not known to E.A. Lowe
in his original study of the
Beneventan script. These discoveries
and rediscoveries are in themselves a
singular achievement and pay tribute
to Virginia Brown’s skills as a
detective. Beneventan Discoveries is a
fitting tribute to a remarkable scholar
and will prove of interest to readers
in diverse fields, from palaeography,
codicology, and the history of script
to classical studies and liturgy.”

Peter Lombard
The Sentences
Edited and translated by
Giulio Silano
“With the arrival of the fourth volume
of this work, Peter Lombard’s
Sentences is now fully available in
English for the first time. Giulio
Silano’s text, based on the third critical
edition by Ignatius C. Brady in two

volumes (Grottaferrata, 1971–81) is
distinguished by its accuracy and
readability, meeting the exacting
criteria of a Pontifical Institute of
Mediaeval Studies translation.”
–Journal of the History of Philosophy
In spite of its importance in Western
intellectual history and its capacity to
excite generations of students and
teachers, the Sentences has received
little attention in recent times.
Indeed, it has been called “one of the
least read of the world’s great books.”
