"The Arts of Editing Medieval Greek and Latin: A Casebook is a collection of 18 case studies aimed at giving readers a chance to follow textual scholars as they tackle the kind of editorial challenges not normally discussed in manuals on textual criticism. The authors delve into methodological issues that include producing single-manuscript editions or those involving huge numbers of witnesses, editing different versions of the same author's text or anthologies of different authors, capturing stages of textual genesis, dealing with textual variability, relating text and image, utilizing digital tools, and more. They outline the challenges in the given editorial situation and explain the methodologies adopted in the editing process. The case studies are compared and contrasted in a concluding chapter that offers reflections on the editor's role and strategies. Without being prescriptive in the style of handbooks on textual philology, this book offers specific examples of the use to which the various tools in the editor's toolbag may be put in confronting unique editorial situations."--Provided by publisher.

Book Description
Editing is by nature an interpretive practice, framed by the editor's circumstances mediating between the author's or text's 'authority, ' the contingencies of numerous institutions of literary and cultural production, and a variety of expectations that arise from the specific social and historical conditions of the readers.

Book Description
The vernacular Anglo-Saxon Chronicles cover the centuries which saw the making of England and its conquest by Scandinavians and Normans. After Alfred traces their development from their genesis at the court of King Alfred to the last surviving chronicle produced at the Fenland monastery of Peterborough. These texts have long been part of the English national story. Pauline Stafford considers the impact of this on their study and editing since the sixteenth century, addressing all surviving manuscript chronicles, identifying key lost ones, and reconsidering these annalistic texts in the light of wider European scholarship on medieval historiography. The study stresses the plural 'chronicles', whilst also identifying a tradition of writing vernacular history which links them. It argues that that tradition was an expression of the ideology of a southern elite engaged in the conquest and assimilation of old kingdoms north of the Thames, Trent, and Humber. Vernacular chronicling is seen, not as propaganda, but as engaged history-writing closely connected to the court, whose networks and personnel were central to the production and continuation of these chronicles. In particular, After Alfred connects many chronicles to bishops and especially to the Archbishops of York and Canterbury. The disappearance of the English-speaking elite after the Norman Conquest had profound impacts on these texts. It repositioned their authors in relation to the court and royal power, and ultimately resulted in the end of this tradition of vernacular chronicling.

Book Description
If medieval literary studies is, like so many fields, currently conditioned by an ecological turn that dislodges the human from its central place in materialist analysis, then why now focus on the law? Is not the law the most human, if not indeed the human, institution? In proposing that all life in medieval Britain, whether animal or vegetable, was subject to the same legal machine that enabled claims on land, are we not ignoring the ecocritical demand that we counteract human exceptionalism and reframe the past with inhuman eyes? This volume, edited by Randy P. Schiff and Joseph Taylor, presents a diverse and stimulating group of interconnected essays that respond to these questions by infusing biopolitical material and theory into ecocentric studies of medieval life. The Politics of Ecology: Land, Life, and Law in Medieval Britain pursues the political power of sovereign law as it disciplines and manages various forms of natural life, and discloses the literary biopolitics played out in texts that work out the fraught interactions of life and law, in all its forms. Contributors to this volume explore such issues as legal networks and death, Arthurian bare life, Chaucerian medical biopolitics, the biopolitics of fur, ecologies of sainthood, arboreal political theology, conservation and political ecology, and geographical melancholy. Bringing together both established and rising critical voices, The Politics of Ecology creates a place for cutting-edge medievalist ecocriticism focused on the intersections of land, life, and law in medieval English, French, and Latin literature.

Book Description
In medieval Europe, the word fama denoted both talk (what was commonly said about a person or event) and an individual's ensuing reputation (one's fama). Although talk by others was no doubt often feared, it was also valued and even cultivated as a vehicle for shaping one's status. People had to think about how to "manage" their fama, which played an essential role in the medieval culture of appearances.At the same time, however, institutions such as law courts and the church, alarmed by the power of talk, sought increasingly to regulate it. Christian moral discourse, literary and visual representation, juristic manuals, and court records reflected concern about talk. This book's authors consider how talk was created and entered into memory. They address such topics as fama's relation to secular law and the preoccupations of the church, its impact on women's lives, and its capacity to shape the concept of literary authorship.

Book Description
While focusing mainly on these particular editions and translations, the contributors also address such common issues as the problem of authorship, the difficulty of deciphering manuscript sources, the identification of minor historical figures, tracing quotations, and the need to produce idiomatically correct modern translations without diverging from the wording of the original source.

Book Description
This outspoken booklet aims at serving as a practical guide for those interested in medieval Latin texts, and in particular their editing techniques. Far from dealing with general theories and theoretical principles, its aim is to assist in gaining experience and in making the best use of scant resources by signalling pitfalls and suggesting methodologies. Examples are mostly taken from the writer's own editions, several of which have appeared in the Corpus Christianorum Continuatio Mediaevalis. In spite of its modest size, Ars edendi deals with the numerous problems editors find themselves confronted with, and reflects the experience its author has accumulated in over forty years in the field.
