Description
'[Dionisotti's] superb exploration of EN reveals the history of a text and a mode of thinking about language that provide significant contexts for our reading of more familiar and more appealing works; so too, her scholarship has a depth, honesty, and generosity that deserve our attention and respect.' James E. G. Zetzel, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

A. C. Dionisotti was until retirement a Lecturer in the Department of Classics at King's College London. She has long been interested in texts that enabled the continuity of Latin (and sometimes Greek) in Western Europe to beyond the period of Roman rule. The Expositio Notarum is such a text, revealing a different aspect of ancient education, with unexpected influence on the glossaries transmitting Latin in the early medieval, and especially the Anglo-Saxon, world.
