Medieval Latin: Second Edition

Medieval Latin: Second Edition is a substantial anthology designed to introduce readers to the range of Latin written between the end of antiquity and the Renaissance. Prose and verse selections expose students to forms of the language that differ from classical norms while opening a route into medieval history, literature, religion and intellectual culture.

Joseph Pucci’s revision of K. P. Harrington’s established text, with an introduction by Alison Goddard Elliott, expands and updates a work long used for teaching Medieval Latin. The selections are supported by material intended to help readers work directly with the language rather than relying on translation alone. It is both a sourcebook and a language text, best suited to students and scholars developing direct access to medieval Latin sources.
