Essays reappraising the relationship between the various languages
of late medieval Britain. The languages of later medieval Britain
are here seen as no longerseparate or separable, but as needing to
be treated and studied together to discover the linguistic reality
of medieval Britain and make a meaningful assessment ofthe
relationship between the languages, and the role, status, function
or subsequent history of any of them. This theme emerges from all
the articles collected here from leading international experts in
their fields, dealing withlaw, language, Welsh history,
sociolinguistics and historical lexicography. The documents and
texts studied include a Vatican register of miracles in
fourteenth-century Hereford, medical treatises, municipal records
from York, teaching manuals, gild registers, and an account of work
done on the bridges of the river Thames. Contributors: PAUL BRAND,
