MEDIEVALLY SPEAKING
[I]nvites the readers to confront themselves with an 'open structure' that is not only the mark of a heuristic approach but also a real epistemological method. . . . In the years to come, this list of key terms will certainly lay the foundations for the renewal of medievalist disciplines, by broadening their outlook and improving their hermeneutical tools.
COMITATUS
Emery and Utz provide an encyclopedia of essential vocabulary (e.g., authenticity, gothic, primitive) written by leading scholars, often accompanied by brief but engaging case studies. . . . . The reader is left with a firm grounding in the depth and scope of the scholarly field and various recreational pursuits of both amateurs and specialists.
