Author: M. Bayless Title: Fifteen Medieval Latin Parodies
Description: Brepols Publishers, 2018 122 pages, In English and Latin, paperback. ISBN 9780888444851. ¶ The fifteen short texts edited here offer vivid examples of the wit and irreverence of medieval Latin parody, a tradition whose humour'sometimes bookish, sometimes ribald, and often both'was never far from the cultures of monastery, school, and court. Mock sermons, prayers, Gospel-texts, and scholastic exercises all bear witness to the wry sensibilities indulged by scholars and clerics alike in their off hours.
