First systematic study of the teaching aid which constituted the
set-texts of Latin instruction in 13c England. `The rich cultural
insights afforded by the study of medieval Latin are only beginning
to be appreciated. In this difficult study of the text-books
through which Latin was learned, together with the Latin,
Anglo-Norman and English glosses to be found in their manuscript
versions, Tony Hunt makes a pioneering attempt to understand its
relationship to the vernaculars spoken in England.' TIMES LITERARY
SUPPLEMENT Here at last is the first systematicstudy 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. Teaching and Learning Latin is destined to become an
essential source-book for medievalists interested in language,
literacy and culture. TONY HUNT is a Fellow of St Peter's College,
Oxford.
