About This Book

A collected volume of Latin compositions by a medieval poet, assembling epistolary verse, a three-part chronicle, occasional poems on moral corruption and pestilence, a learned tract concerning light and its scrutiny, and several late short pieces. An extended introduction assesses the sparse biographical records and manuscript history, while generous notes and glossaries provide textual commentary and vocabulary aid. The writings alternate didactic moral and theological reflection with historical observation and occasional lyrical moments, presenting a range of forms and registers intended for both instruction and contemplative reading.
