Editing Medieval Texts: An Introduction, Using Exemplary Materials Derived from Richard Rolle, 'Super Canticum' 4 This book provides a comprehensive guide to the editorial process, using Richard Rolle's Commentary on the Song of Songs as a working exemplar. It addresses the need for understanding the premises underlying medieval texts and the mechanisms by which they have been constructed. The author draws on their extensive experience of teaching students how to approach medieval books to provide a step-by-step guide to editing. The book begins by discussing the challenges of editing medieval texts, including the need to consider the underlying premises and the presentation of texts. It then provides a detailed guide to the process of editing, highlighting the decisions editors routinely face and suggesting ways to address them. This volume is an essential resource for anyone working with medieval texts, providing a clear and practical introduction to the subject.
