Critical study in English. Includes an English translation of Richard Rolle's Melos
amoris, on pages 135-336. Appendix 1 contains the Latin text of the spurious chapter
59, with English translation on facing pages.
"Richard Rolle's Melos amoris has been considered overwrought and juvenile, and has
been largely ignored. Yet it playfully employs scriptural exegesis, passionate utterance,
and an alliterative and rhythmic prose style that marks it as Rolle's crowning literary
achievement. The English translation of the Melos amoris presented in this volume
prioritizes style over fidelity in order to give readers a sense of the rhythmic play
so important to the work. The translation is accompanied by an extensive study, as
well as by appendices containing a critical edition and translation of a spurious
chapter, transcription and translation of narrative glosses, and scores of polyphonic
music associated with one manuscript of the Melos."
Issued also in electronic format.
