This issue of Medievalia et Humanistica is an attractive mixture of broad essays that are bound to interest an interdisciplinary ... audience and reviews articles of primary interest to specialists... Some of the essays are distillations of larger, even famous workds by theri authors, or, better, further reflections on their subject matter. This... enhances their interdisciplinary interest, since non-specialists often value such essays as a lead-in to the literature. -- Bruce E. Mansfield Moreana
