vThis dictionary is an indispensable guide to the study of the Latin Middle Ages. It records the continuing usage of classical and late Latin in this period (6th-16th centuries), but it presents most fully the medieval developments of the language, drawing on a rich variety of printed and manuscript sources. Many new formations from other languages are revealed - some of the borrowings recorded in Latin centuries before their appearance in written vernacular sources.

Mormonism: The Basics

Although often regarded as marginal or obscure, Mormonism is a significant American religious minority, numerically and politically. The successes and struggles of this U.S. born religion reveal much about how religion operates in U.S. society. Mormonism: The Basics introduces the teachings, practices, evolution, and internal diversity of this movement, whose cultural icons range from Mitt Romney to the Twilight saga, from young male missionaries in white shirts and ties to polygamous women in pastel prairie dresses.  This is the first introductory text on Mormonism that tracks not only the mainstream LDS but also two other streams within the movement―the liberalized RLDS and the polygamous Fundamentalists―thus showing how Mormons have pursued different approaches to defining their identity and their place in society. The book addresses these questions.  Are Mormons Christian, and why does it matter? How have Mormons worked out their relationship to the state? How have Mormons diverged in their thinking about gender and sexuality? How do rituals and regulations shape Mormon lives? What types of sacred spaces have Mormons created?  What strategies have Mormons pursued to establish a global presence? Mormonism: The Basics is an ideal introduction for anyone wanting to understand this religion within its primarily American but increasingly globalized contexts.

Celtic Latin Tradition (Celtic Studies)

Four Courts Press

Claiming a determining influence on the 12th century flourishing of French literature, Howlett follows its beginnings from the Anglo-Norman adoption of Old English vocabulary and style through to its fruition as works of hagiography, technical works, drama, fabliaux, romances and histories.

Literature & Fiction

History & Criticism

David Howlett presents a documented account of the origins of a brilliant Scottish Latin literature fro the end of the eleventh century and the twelfth.

Caledonian Craftsmanship

From original manuscripts David Howlett edits, translates, and analyses twenty-four Latin charters - English, Welsh, Cornish, Irish, Scottish, and Hebridean - from the 7th century to the 15th, as monuments of thought and composition parallel to the literary and epigraphic traditions of these islands. This revolutionary analysis presents charters of local variety but underlying unity, in which complex self-authenticating mathematical structures produce works of art of astonishing and apprehensible beauty.

Insular Inscriptions

David Howlett presents a radically new text, translation, and analysis of MuirchÃº Moccu MacthÃ©ni's Life of Saint Patrick, with newly discovered internal confirmations of the text, a definitive solution to the problem of the ordering of chapters, evidence of MuirchÃº's learning, deeper than previously supposed, and of his architectonic genius. Howlett suggests a date, a more ambitious theological purpose, and a more aggressive political purpose than earlier scholars have recognized. MuirchÃº exerted a profound, if previously unrecognized, influence upon later hagiographical writers, not only in Ireland, but also in Brittany and Wales, to be considered in two further books dealing with the Breton Latin Life of Saint Samson of Dol and Rhygyfarch ap Sulien's Welsh Latin Life of Saint David.
