Summary: | Additions to the Toronto series of medieval Latin texts are always welcome. This edition is of sermons of the twelfth-century historian William of Newburgh, printed by Thomas Hearne in 1719 but previously without a modern edition. The edition contains an excellent full discussion of what is known of William’s life, the manuscripts, and the content of the sermons. It lacks only an equally comprehensive discussion of their place in the development of the genre of medieval sermons. Such exegetical sermons, intended for a community of regular (Augustinian) canons, and of the period just before the Ars Praedicandi emerged in the nascent universities of Europe, are of particular interest in this respect. |
