Reviews

[Mayr-Harting's] elucidations of the texts of Gregory, Boethius, Prudentius, and Capella areinvaluable. American Historical Review Fascinating...offers extraordinary insights into the intellectual culture of the Ottonian period. H-net [Mayr-Harting] exploits under-utilised sources, suggests an alternative methodology, and proposes a new agenda for a familiar topic of research. English Historical Review Harting's perceptive insights, drawing on an impressive range of evidence, present a compelling picture of how regional interests reflect wider issues and how some central texts of the early Middle Ages were read in the tenth-century Cologne and helped to articulate an Ottonian ruler ethic. Sinead O'Sullivan, Journal of Ecclesiastical History
