Riassunto

The Carmina Burana is the finest surviving collection of medieval Latin lyrics, especially love lyrics. These poems - many of them composed to be sung - are mostly the work of teachers and students in the schools of the twelfth century. They vary in subject and style, and in addition to love lyrics, they include drinking songs, religious poems, pastoral lyrics, and satires of church and government.
This anthology contains sixty love lyrics from the Carmina Burana in the original Latin, with prose translations and commentaries by noted Latinist P. G. Walsh. In his commentaries, Walsh explains postclassical aspects of morphology, spelling, vocabulary, and syntax and provides a well-informed analysis of literary antecedents and techniques. The book will be valuable for Latin students and in courses in medieval literature and history, comparative literature, and English literature.
