The Wandering Scholars (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780472064120)

"There is no beginning," writes Helen Waddell in her introduction to this classic, "to a history of medieval Latin. Its roots take hold too firmly on the kingdoms of the dead. The scholar's lyric of the twelfth century seems as new a miracle as the first crocus; but its earth is the leafdrift of centuries of forgotten scholarship." This book is the record of the Wandering Scholars, makers, and singers of medieval Latin, and their vanished Order.
