Description: "Danuta Shanzer is a scholar of international caliber, and this volume honors her career on the occasion of her sixty-fifth birthday (or thereabouts). Most of the contributors are current or former students, colleagues, collaborators and friends, from Oxford, Berkeley, Cornell, Illinois, the University of Vienna, and elsewhere. They have chosen topics appropriate in some way to the honoree's scholarly interests. The volume's center of gravity is in late antiquity and early medieval Gaul, but some contributions embrace a number of authors in whom Shanzer herself has been particularly interested (Augustine, Martianus Capella, Boethius, Avitus of Vienne, Gregory of Tours), but the range and variety of the volume is also representative of her approach to the field."--
Notes: "Studies by twenty-seven scholars in honor of the distinguished Latinist Danuta Shanzer.Over the course of her career Danuta Shanzer has contributed multifariously to the study of late antique and medieval Latin, as scholar, teacher, conference organizer, and journal and series editor. Author of a ground-breaking commentary on Book 1 of Martianus Capella's De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii and co-translator (with Ian Wood) of the letters of Avitus of Vienne, she has produced important articles on a wide range of Latin authors and texts, from Augustine to Gregory of Tours."--Publisher's description.
