Reviews

a pearl of this edition is its huge introduction, which reaches upward of 100 pages and leaves no stone unturned.
*Scott DeGregorio, Journal of Medieval Latin*

Lapidge deserves sincere gratitude for rescuing Byrhtferth from his medieval and modern editors ... Both edition and translation are exemplary
*Thomas Pickes, The English Historical Review*

extraordinary ... Lapidge's utter familiarity with Byrhtferth's authorship and Latinity gives him an almost instinctual ability to make decisions that always bring the reader closer the Byrhtferth ... The book is in every way carefully and elefantly produced.
*Martin Chase, Notes and Queries*
