Since its founding in 1943, Medievalia et Humanistica has won
worldwide recognition as the first scholarly publication in America
to devote itself entirely to medieval and Renaissance studies.
Since 1970, a new series, sponsored by the Modern Language
Association of America and edited by an international board of
distinguished scholars and critics, has published interdisciplinary
articles. In yearly hardbound volumes, the new series publishes
significant scholarship, criticism, and reviews treating all facets

"scientific" Latin treaties and Provencal courtly poetry are neatly
demonstrated. Karen Gross examines structural and thematic
resemblances between the Aeneid and De Casibus, arguing that
Anchises' "pageant of future Roman worthies" (Aen. VI) is connected

the discussion of the motif of father/son piety and commemoration
and the contrast of Virgil's fortuna in Roman history and
Boccaccio's in world history. Daisy Delogu's article on Christine
de Pizan is a timely one, and also represents reengagement with
