I found it difficult to see, however, on what grounds a paper on the Oculus moralis by Peter of Limoges is included. The collection cuts across broad language sub-families, Romance, Germanic, and Celtic branches, and ranges over long periods of time. Textually speaking, it admits a very ample spread, from prose to verse, including song, and hybrid texts, drawn from diverse sources, all traceable to a wide variety of local contexts, and circumstances of composition. I note, in the front matter, some odd abbreviations; and at the end, no bibliography, a useful aid, which would have reduced both repetition and bulk. Nicholas A. Sparks, The University of Sydney
