Reviews

Boydell & Brewer have become the Arthurian publishers par excellence, not simply for their excellent secondary material on the once and future king, but for their commitment to the publication of a largely Cambridge-based inquiry into the primeval sources of the Arthurian story. ENGLISH STUDIES [J.D. Burnley] Elegant digest and interpretation of the data presented, manuscript by manuscript, in [her] Summary Catalogue.It is not just students of the Historia that will turn time and time again to this book, but it will be a useful starting-point for identifying basic mss in so many other fields... Julia Crick has meticulously paved the way [for an established text] with her novel method of approach and exact scholarship, and all students of the 12th century are very much in her debt... clear and careful presentation of the material in [a] most attractive volume. BULLETIN CODICOLOGIQUE This useful book For the foreseeable future, any scholar working with manuscripts of the Historia will need to have Dr Crick's assessment available in full.
