Robertus de Handio and Johnannes Hanboys. Rules and the Summa. Greek and Latin Music Theory. University of Nebraska Press 1991 Hardcover. Good, Remainder mark Octavo 403 pp

“For this edition, Lefferts has thoroughly reexamined, edited, and appraised the single extant source of each treatise. Full descriptions of these sources are provided and the documents are illustrated with a plate from each. Each treatise is presented in its original Latin, with a fully annotated translation on facing pages. Leffert’s introduction discusses the authors, places the treatise in the context of the theoretical traditions of fourteenth-century France and England, and reviews their contents in detail. Indexes of terms, names, and subjects are included. Appendixes provide a concordance to the music examples from the Regule that recur in the Summa and transcriptions of two English motet fragments that exhibit insular notational practices discussed in the treatises. Leffert’s work will be seen as a major contribution to our understanding of medieval English music.”

Garza, Randal. Understanding Plague : Medical Imaginative Texts Medieval Spain. Peter Lang Pub 2008 Pictorial hardcover. Very Good Unused Octavo 119 pp

“Such a study concerning Spain has been conspicuously absent until now. The present investigation is among the first to bring together information that documents the pernicious behavior of the disease in Spain and to demonstrate how it changed the societies it afflicted. Studying the medical and imaginative texts of medieval Spain, reveals that the disease did, in fact, help change the perceived role of the medical practitioner, the idea of public health, and the portrayal of death and dying.”
