"The fifteen medieval Latin parodies edited in this volume are among the liveliest from a lively age of satire and literary mischief. That medieval clerical life was often high-spirited and entertaining was a secret the official Church was not eager to reveal. Thus, apart from a few exceptions, such as the drinking songs of the Carmina Burana (famously and anachronistically revived by Carl Orff), the medieval Latin of religion and the schools is rarely regarded as a repository of madcap humour. Instead it typically gives the impression of a medium of sombre and utilitarian literature, the dryness relieved by occasional flights of sophisticated love poetry. As the lingua franca of the medieval world, and above all of the medieval Church, Latin can certainly lay claim to innumerable works that prize worthiness above entertainment value. But the examples of clerical and scholarly merrymaking edited in this book--representatives of a widespread tradition--are testimony that the educated were just as fond of revelry as their more secular and plebeian contemporaries."--

The nineteenth-century antiquarian Thomas Wright (1810-77) was a prolific scholar, editor and bibliographer. His two-volume anthology of twelfth-century Latin poetry, first published in 1872, is the fullest available and this reissue will be especially useful to scholars of medieval schools, religious life and satire, and those interested in medieval literature's relationship with the Latin classics. It remains the only published edition of important poems by Geoffrey of Winchester, Hugh the Chanter, Reginald of Canterbury, Serlo of Bayeux and Gualo Britto. Volume 2 contains several hundred short epigrams and poems, including works by Marbod of Rennes, Roger of Caen, Serlo of Wilton and Henry of Huntingdon, along with a number of longer works, including Alain of Lille's influential Anticlaudianus and De planctu naturae. An appendix presents the eighth-century riddles of Tatwine and Aldhelm.
