It is called "Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations." 11 volumes have been published so far, with about 20 more currently under contract. Check it out at www.udallas.edu/dmtt.Philipp W.

So far all I know is that they will be very much like the Loebs: relatively inexpensive, aimed at a nonspecialist, minimally annotated, not grouped according to manuscript (except Beowulf and friends). Oh, and compound words will be hyphenated. Apparently it took them a while to come to consensus on that, but such a presentation will make following the Old English easier for the lay reader.<BR/><BR/>What to me is most amazing about the series is that it treats medieval Latin and Old English as languages with equal amounts of cachet. Given that so many non-scholars purchase books in this series, it really does seem to me that it will give the study of OE a significant boost at a time when it needs one.Jeffrey Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17346504393740520542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-26812831866328488682008-10-24T19:37:00.000-04:002008-10-24T19:37:00.000-04:00fantastic!
