Books and learning in 12th-century Europe are the broad concern of
the nineteen papers assembled here. The discussion of 'books'
ranges from important individual manuscripts, to collections
manufactured in 'scriptoria' and kept in 'libraries'; the
'learning' is primarily the composition, transmission and study of
Latin literary texts, both ancient and contemporary. Special
attention is given to the Latin classics, to the literary culture
of the larger Benedictine houses, to the phenomenal quantity of
Latin satirical writing of the period, and to the dissemination and
reception of texts and ideas over time. While the geographical
focus is England, the relationship of English materials and
developments to the wider European context is constantly
emphasized.
