Introduction to the 'Glossa Ordinaria' as Medieval Hypertext

David A. Salomon is an Associate Professor of English at The Sage Colleges in Troy and Albany, New York, where he is also the founding Director of the Kathleen A. Donnelly Center for Undergraduate Research.

"Modern scholars continue to puzzle over how the "Glossa Ordinaria" was actually read. This study of the "Glossa Ordinaria" as a medieval 'hypertext' makes an important contribution to this puzzle. This book will be of interest to scholars in the history of the material text and the reception of books from the Middle Ages to modernity."--E. Ann Matter, University of Pennsylvania
