En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on medieval literacy, the book explores how glosses—teachers' notes on classical Latin texts—were utilized in classrooms, revealing a basic and literal approach to reading. Suzanne Reynolds examines the interplay between Latin and vernacular languages, the significance of classical texts in medieval culture, and the concepts of allegory and literary theory during this period. The findings challenge and deepen our understanding of medieval hermeneutics and the evolution of reading practices.
