first democracies, but also the Persian and the Peloponnesian Wars.

historians, Athenian Democracy examines:

* the efficiency of this system of government
* the success of Athenian democracy.
Including a useful chronology and blibliography, this second
edition has been updated to take into account recent research.

This handbook of medieval Latin texts is designed for historians of
the Middle Ages with some knowledge of Latin who wish to be able to
read a wide range of original source material. It broadens the
traditional scope of medieval Latin readers by including historical
documents such as deeds and charters along with traditional
literary samples. Within the context of a running narrative,
Thorley starts with texts from the Anglo-Saxon period and then
moves through subsequent centuries genre by genre. Each text is
accompanied by a grammatical and historical commentary, both of
which allow for independent study. In addition, all selections are
translated at the back of the book.
"Documents in Medieval Latin" will be useful to students of
medieval history, literature, and philosophy and those interested
in reading more about the Middle Ages. Thorley's cheerful approach,
the lively and representative selections of tests, and the
documentary and epigraphic focus will prove valuable for those
wishing to explore these vital original sources.
John Thorley teaches medieval Latin at Lancaster University.
