Review # 1 was written on 2017-02-17 00:00:00 C David H Harris Very useful source material if you need to cite, I just realised how much of the medieval things seem so close to me because of my religious knowledge. I didn't know that soooooo many things originated in middle ages. If you want to know some very important medieval stuff with parts of original texts in English translation, this is the book to go for.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-10-28 00:00:00 Mary Clarke An excellent collection of primary sources, but at more than 500 pages, it is something to graze in rather than attempt to read straight through. I particularly liked reading the "commonplaceplace book" of a reeve (where he records various facts, legends, and other bits of information, including dirty jokes and proverbs) and an account of St. Gwinefort, a greyhound which was unjustly slain by his master, and in recognition of his martyrdom the locals began to honor him as a saint, eventually developing into a cult which was accused of sacrificing infants! So sorry this one has to go back to the library. Maybe some time I'll get my own copy.
