This book brings into print editions, translations, and
commentaries for more than two dozen unique poems (in Latin) from
the late eleventh and early twelfth century, preserved in Houghton
Library's anthology known as MS Lat 300. This book offers
unparalleled access to the anthology, previously unavailable in
English.
From a literary point of view, those interested in lyric poetry
composed in Old French and Old Provencal have paid increasing
attention to Latin poetry that circulated in France, and of course
those wishing to trace the background of the Carmina Burana have
reason to study this kind of collection, but many poems remain
unedited and even more cry out for translation and
contextualization. With the publication of the accompanying
facsimiles, palaeographers may now be able to solve the puzzle of
where the manuscript originated--its story between the Napoleonic
wars and 1965, when it was purchased by Harvard. All told, this
volume opens the way to advances in medieval studies.
