Description

Based on decades of research, this book excerpts, translates, and analyzes teachers' notes and commentaries in the more than two hundred manuscripts of the Poetria nova. We learn the reasons for its popularity among medieval and early Renaissance teachers, how prose as well as verse genres were taught, and how we might still learn from it today.
