Editorial Reviews

Review

'This extraordinary mix of encyclopaedia and dictionary must be the most historically important work never to have been translated into English until this fine collaborative work.' Spectator '... with this publication, the whole extraordinary compendium is available to Third Millennium man for the first time ever in equally simple English ... [and] glorious contents.' Sunday Telegraph '... an accurate, literal translation, which contributes significantly to the field of Isidorian studies.' BMCR 'The translation is accurate, the book well produced, and misprints or factual errors are very few indeed.' Rolando Ferri, Bryn Mawr Classical Review '... we should be delighted that this collaboration has been published by such a distinguished press. The book as a whole is an irreproachable work of translation ... all interested in the study of the Middle Ages may certainly rejoice at this important contribution.' Ana-Isabel Magallon, The Medieval Review --This text refers to the Paperback edition.


Review

"It...is a work of reference which will appeal to a wide range of medievalists as well as classicists, especially those interested in medieval and Roman science and knowledge. The book is described as a "highly readable translation," which it certainly is, and also a "complete English translation" of the original work (p. i). " - H-NET, Keith Lilley, School of Geography, Archaeology and Palaeoecology, Queen's University Belfast
