Rauer's edition of OEM does what an edition should: combine a
clean, reliable text with a clear, literal translation and
ancillary materials that review scholarship, deepen understanding,
point out problems, and facilitate future work. . . . It is
learned, useful, and stimulating, the product of much expert work,
and for most purposes should now be the edition of choice.
*STUDIES IN MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE TEACHING*
Rauer's deep knowledge of and appreciation for all aspects of this
work shine through the edition from start to finish, bringing the
Martyrology out of the shadows and making it more accessible than
ever before.. [This] edition...will be of great use both for novice
students of Old English language as well as experts.
*MEDIAEVISTIK*
This is an important and diligently executed book; and it is
arranged to facilitate reference-whatever one is looking for is
easy to find. It is a work of reference for martyrology in the
first place, and it will be found useful for many other related
subjects.
*NOTES & QUERIES*
Rauer's edition...is an important and welcome contribution, sure to
stimulate new research.
*MEDIUM AEVUM*
Any scholar interested in the Martyrology will need, at least, to
refer to this edition.
*TOEBI NEWSLETTER*
A valuable contribution that will appeal to a range of
readers....This will certainly be the standard text to turn
to...for at least the next generation of research.... The
commentary is excellent.
*JOURNAL OF RELIGIOUS HISTORY*
Rauer has done a service not only to scholars of Old English and to
the text she has edited, but to anyone interested in issues such as
the interface of Latin and the vernacular, ninth-century English
religious and intellectual culture, early medieval ideas of sex and
gender, liturgy and hagiography, and formations of knowledge and
identity in the early Middle Ages and more. The OEM will
undoubtedly find wider and productive readership in this new
edition.
*SPECULUM*
Christine Rauer has done an excellent job of providing an accurate
edition and translation plus a mass of up-to-date elucidation and
references to published research for a text with so rich, large,
and diverse a history in its hinterland.
*FOLKLORE*
Everyone from the most seasoned expert to the total neophyte will
be able to benefit from the volume, which should immediately become
both an indispensable research tool for the specialist and a
stimulating way to introduce undergraduates (and even some members
of the general reading public) to a broad range of medieval ideas
about saints and sanctity.
