Reviews

‘This is a very fine and orderly edition complete with all trappings… Glossary is a real gem… The glossary even provides indexes of the words named and we thus get a very fine tool to approach Occitan texts from the period – whether in prose or poetry.’
*Medieval Histories: News about the Middle Ages, 18 August 2016*

‘Magisterially edited and translated…. Two Medieval Occitan Toll Registers will reward not only scholars of Occitan, Provence and France, but will also benefit those interested in medieval Mediterranean culture and European trade networks.’
