This study focuses on the uses of the grammatical concept of etymologia in primarily Latin writings from the early Middle Ages. Etymologia is a fundamental procedure and discursive strategy in the philosophy and analysis of language in early medieval Latin grammar, as well as in Biblical exegesis, encyclopedic writing, theology, and philosophy. Read through the frame of poststructuralist analysis of discourse and the philosophy of science, the procedure of the ars grammatica are interpreted as overlapping genres (commentary, glossary, encyclopedia, exegesis) which use different verbal or extraverbal criteria to explain the origins and significations of words and which establish different epistemological frames within which an etymological account of language is situated. The study also includes many translations of heretofore untranslated passages from Latin grammatical and exegetical writings.

Etymology and Grammatical Discourse in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages
I was looking for a book that would tell me how Homer was received in the archaic and classical periods. It is because I have this paper on Thucydides right now and I wanted to situate how Thucydides uses/sees/understands Homer in the context of other prior/(near)contemporary uses/visions/understandings. There was some frustration. It took me some time to find what I was looking for. I have no idea why. But anyways, here, I found it. This is a great work for anyone interested in classical reception in general. I'll let Barbara sum up the task of her book:
"In this book, I have focused on how the ancient Greeks imagined Homer and have deliberately failed to discuss whether their representations were true to the 'real' poet(s) of the Iliad (and the Odyssey). Instead, I have suggested that ancient depictions of Homer can be history for us in that they express how ancient audiences received the Homeric poems." (p.236)
