"These excellent essays discuss a wide range of literary and art historical topics covering the full chronological span of the medieval period." —Louis Jordan, University of Notre Dame"If this collection of articles is somewhat factitious in its makeup, there is no doubting its overall quality. Scholars of the various specialties represented in it will profit from reading its individual contributions." —Modern Philosophy"The Text in the Community contains papers delivered at a conference held at Notre Dame University in 2001 to celebrate the inaugurations there of Michael Lapidge and Jill Mann as professors of English and the University library's recent purchase of a fifteenth-century manuscript, formerly in the Foyle collection and now Notre Dame MS 67, containing A Mirror to Devout People and The Craft of Dying." —The Richardian"This volume contains eight papers from a 2001 conference at the University of Notre Dame entitled 'Medieval Manuscripts at Notre Dame.' Most of these treat late medieval topics. Two, however, deal with earlier medieval literary culture and are therefore of interest to scholars of the early Middle Ages." —Early Medieval Europe"The essays demonstrate most effectively how shifting the focus from isolated text to communal text can not only add to our knowledge of the complex web of relationships operating between books and their contexts, but also prompt us to re-evaluate previously accepted interpretations of the canon." —Modern Language Review
