Publisher Synopsis
Essential not only for Catalan and Catalan literature but also for peninsular letters as a whole...It's an excellent study which brings together the advantages and amenity of the essay, and the virtues and rigor of an encyclopedic manual or reference book. BOLETIN DE LA REAL ACADEMIA ESPANOLA This book fills a significant gap by bringing together a huge mass of research carried out from the beginning of the twentieth century but most notably in recent years. The authors provide a nuanced assessment of the impact of the classical tradition and of humanism in medieval Catalan, providing a highly engaging account in the first part of the book and a helpful research tool in the second, thus making the volume valuable reading for the specialist and the non-specialist alike. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THE CLASSICAL TRADITION The Classical Tradition in Medieval Catalan, 1300-1500: Translation, Imitation, and Literacy is a well-constructed volume of exceptional scholarly value. CATALAN REVIEW Scholars interested in the admiration with which Humanist writers looked upon Ovid, Livy, Cicero and other greats of Classical antiquity will appreciate the insights offered in this compelling book. The Classical Tradition in Medieval Catalan, 1300-1500, is a remarkable product of shared skills, combined resources, and complementary effort. THE MEDIEVAL REVIEW Read more...
