Latin in Medieval Britain

this volume excellently demonstrates the breadth and value of the corpus of Medieval Latin from Britain. Individual contributions on the whole are exemplary and will be of great use to a wide readership, while the editorial standards of the volume are high. Although not exhaustive in its reach, this collection is a fine tribute both to the DMLBS and Medieval Latin studies more generally.

Klappentext
Latin continued to be used across Europe long after the end of the Roman Empire. While not the native language of its users, it was nevertheless used for a wide variety of functions from religion to record-keeping. This book considers various contexts in Britain to see how medieval people used Latin and how this affected the language.
