Here at last is the first systematic study of the teaching and
learning of Latin in thirteenth century England based on evidence
from nearly 200 manuscripts where the text has been glossed in the
vernacular. These glosses provide the key to discovering the
linguistic competence and interest of students at an elementary
level: men and women who needed a working knowledge of Latin for
practical purposes. The received view that Latin was the exclusive
language of the schoolroom is shown to be mistaken and the
exhaustive recording of the vernacular glosses provides a hitherto
untapped source of lexical materials in French and Middle English.
An essential source-book for medievalists interested in language,
literacy and culture.
