In this book David Howlett presents a documented account of the
origins of a brilliant Scottish Latin literature from the end of
the 11th century and the 12th. Editions of thirty texts from
original manuscripts -- liturgical, diplomatic, poetic,
hagiographic, historical, genealogical, and theological -- many
translated here for the first time, illustrate both links with
earlier English, Irish, and Welsh Latin traditions and links within
the emerging class of Scottish Latin writers. One purpose of this
literature was to provide in a common acquired language cultural
monuments for a 'Regnum Scottorum', a kingdom of the Scots,
embracing Gaels, Britons, Picts, Norsemen, Englishmen, and Normans,
independent of both Anglo-Norman kings and English archbishops, in
a stylish act of self-definition that has few parallels in European
history.
