"This book discusses the considerable influence exerted by Isidore's Etymologiae on
the compilation of early medieval enigmata. Either in the form of thematic clusters
or pairs, Isidorean encyclopedic patterns are observed not only in major Latin riddle
collections in verse but can also be detected in the two vernacular assemblages contained
in the Exeter Book. As with encyclopedias, the topic-centered arrangement of riddles
was pursued by compilers as a strategy intended to optimize the didactic and instructional
possibilities inherent in these texts and favor the readers' assimilation of their
contents. This book thus provides a thoroughgoing investigation of medieval riddling,
with special attention to the Exeter Book Riddles, demonstrating that this genre constituted
an important part of the school curriculum of the early Middle Ages."
