This is a reprint of the original edition from 1925. A classic that
has stood the test of time, this book is designed to introduce the
reader to Medieval Latin, for more than a thousand years the
universal language of church, state, school, and society. From the
overwhelming mass of material that has lain hidden in musty tomes
and quaint manuscripts the editor has selected examples in the
various fields of medieval literature, except the didactic and
homiletic works of the church fathers. This gives a conspectus of
the whole subject by typical samples from different periods. The
selections represent history, anecdote, argument, the epistle, the
drama, the essay, the dialogue, the novel, and epic, lyric,
pastoral, didactic, and satiric verse. Teachers or students wishing
to specialize in any of these forms will find the selections
topically outlined at the end of the Table of Contents. For the
student of history, comparative literature, or civilization in
general, these pages have a profound significance. To the student
of the Latin language and literature, they show that Latin from
Ennius to Erasmus, during a period of nearly a millennium and three
quarters, is more homogeneous than is English from Chaucer to
Tennyson, a matter of only five hundred years. The student of the
Romance and other modern languages can here see important processes
actually going on in the development of these languages. The
selections are useful for schools, for colleges, or for the general
reader, and have been chosen with a view to intrinsic interest.
