"This impressive volume, ably edited by Rita Copeland and featuring a truly distinguished group of contributors, will be of use to any medievalist interested in the problem of medieval Latinity- that is to say, to any medievalist." - Larry Scanlon, Rutgers University, Speculum 97/3

"Volume 1 (800-1558) is the most ambitious to date, aiming for coverage of the classics' impact over a period of some 760 years." - G. Divary, CHOICE

"Although targeting medievalists and students of English literature, the discussions concerning transmission and reception are valuable to anyone interested in how English literature adapted and engaged with classical literature." - Kathleen Burt, Classical Journal Online
