Reviews

The collection is diverse, and the wide range both of topics and of scholarly approaches provides ample testimony not only to the richness and complexity of the Latin tradition in Britain but also to the impressive achievement of the dictionary's editors and contributors, faced with such a daunting quantity and range of material. * Padraic Moran, Speculum * this volume excellently demonstrates the breadth and value of the corpus of Medieval Latin from Britain. Individual contributions on the whole are exemplary and will be of great use to a wide readership, while the editorial standards of the volume are high. Although not exhaustive in its reach, this collection is a fine tribute both to the DMLBS and Medieval Latin studies more generally. * Robert Gallagher, The Medieval Review *
