First published 1994 by Ashgate Publishing. Transfered to Digital Printing in 2009.
"Authors of the Middle Ages" is a new series designed for research and reference. Each part, by an expert on the subject, gives an account of the facts known about a particular Author’s life and immediate historical context, together with a review of subsequent scholarship. This is supported by citation of all known contemporary references; a dated and classified list of manuscripts and editions; a bibliography of secondary sources; and appendices listing or printing the key literary and documentary sources. The aim is to combine, in one compact work, a bibliography of a medieval author with all the information needed for further research. Each will be available individually, or in a collection with three other contemporary Authors.
"Authors of the Middle Ages" is divided into two sub-series, "English Writers of the Late Middle Ages" and "Historical and Religious Writers of the Latin West".
