The introduction, notes and scholarship within this book are all exemplary - a pattern which we are coming to expect from Liverpool University Press.Journal of Medieval Archaeology, Vol 56 This enterprising translation presents what survives from Theophilus' work by offering renderings of the excerpts from the four surviving sources in sequential blocks to facilitate comparison. There is a detailed introduction, wide-ranging notes, and an exemplary appendix with a gazetteer, maps, genealogies, a bibliography, and an index.MEDIUM AEVUM Vol. LXXXI ... this is a very useful and scholarly publication which will bring these interesting texts to a wider audience, as well as furthering the study of both Theophilus' lost Chronicle and those writings which made use of it.Ecclesiastical History, Volume 64/3 Read more...
