Overview

In 1451, Isotta Nogarola took up her pen in defense of Eve. For over a thousand years, writers from Tertullian to Boccaccio had used Eve to justify women's inferior status. Nogarola's Defense of Eve (traditionally titled De Pari aut Impari Evae atque Adae Peccato) is a text of fundamental importance for the history of gender in Europe. This edition aims to enable students of Latin to read the text in its original language. A substantial introduction provides background on the woman, her text, and her times. The Latin text includes a running glossary and grammatical commentary on every page. ""Hendrickson harnesses the curricular freedom in his role as teacher at an online high school to boost student writers into the realm of publishing, and the quality of this edition reveals the meticulous attentions of the entire group toward producing a polished product. One can only hope more teachers will take such a leading role in broadening access to such interesting texts."" Skye Shirley, Classical Outlook
