Reviews
Barbara Weissberger, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, University of Minnesota:
'This is an excellent, well thought out anthology. It reminds us that in the premodern period moral education was part of the upbringing of both girls and boys from an early age, and that such instruction was believed to lay a foundation for ethical and wise conduct in adulthood. The collection opens up an entire area of cultural information that has gone relatively unnoticed, yielding important insights into the goals of medieval society.'
