1.The Canterbury TalesThe Canterbury Tales
from Hodge and Braddock
Price: $21.95

Customer Review:
Please note: The Bantam version (translated by Hieatt) only contains the most popular of the Tales. (Use the "Inside this Book" feature to check the table of contents, as I, alas, did not.) The facing page translation is just what I was looking for, but really wanted the complete set.

3.The History of the Kings of Britain (Penguin Classics)The History of the Kings of Britain (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
With details of troop deployments and excerpts from speeches kings deliver to their men before battle, it becomes obvious it is unlikely that the details are historically accurate. Little time is spent discussing personal relationships; most of the stories revolve around battle. The book is easy... more info

4.The Gnostic Bible: Gnostic Texts of Mystical Wisdom form the Ancient and Medieval WorldsThe Gnostic Bible: Gnostic Texts of Mystical Wisdom form the Ancient and Medieval Worlds
from Shambhala

Customer Review:
I was looking for a "definitive" gnostic bible and thought I'd found it with this. Unfortunately it's not that simple, but this volume is the best place to start in my opinion.

5.The Kalevala: Or Poems of the Kaleva DistrictThe Kalevala: Or Poems of the Kaleva District
from Harvard University Press
Price: $22.05

Customer Review:
The Kalevala is the result of Elias Lönnrot collecting and commiting to paper the oral traditions of the Finnish people to produce an epic tale.
This translation has captured the poetic delivery of the original Finnish as perfectly as these two opposing languages could.
The poetry... more info

6.The Discarded Image: An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature (Canto)The Discarded Image: An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature (Canto)
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $17.99

Customer Review:
It is difficult to praise "The Discarded Image" too highly. It can be read with profit many times. Other reviewers have told you why.
That said, I would like to say something to those who have read and enjoyed the Space Trilogy, especially "Out of the Silent Planet" and "Perelandra." In writing... more info

7.[no image]The Middle Ages
from Mcgraw-Hill

Customer Review:
Unlike the pedestrian writing of the Oxford survey (The Oxford Illustrated History of Medieval Europe), this is very well written with insight and humor, and continues to confirm my thought that the Dark Ages were not so dark, and certainly not dimmed by Christianity as a cause.
Bishop suggests... more info

8.The Key to The Name of the Rose: Including Translations of All Non-English Passages (Ann Arbor Paperbacks)The Key to The Name of the Rose: Including Translations of All Non-English Passages (Ann Arbor Paperbacks)
from University of Michigan Press
Price: $15.25

Customer Review:
I just finished "The Name of the Rose" and I found this book necessary to decipher all the Latin texts, and the texts by other languages. The other background information in this book was valuable as well. This book is really necessary if one wants to read "The Name of the Rose" thoroughly.

9.[no image]The Book of Margery Kempe vol I Text (Early English Text Society Original Series)
from Early English Text Society

Customer Review:
The reason why this book is so inspirational is because Margery is very honest throughout about how difficult she finds her spiritual path and her commitment to God, combining this with marriage, children and the persecution and ridicule she faces on her pilgrimages. It is a very rewarding read... more info

10.[no image]Troilus and Criseyde (Medieval and Renaissance Texts and Studies)
from Medieval & Renaissance Texts & Studies
Price: $15.00

Customer Review:
Amazon seems to be including all the reviews of different editions and translations of Chaucer's "Troilus and Criseyde" on the same page. If you read the reviews here you will be very confused. Some refer to an original language edition (either the one made by R. A. Shoaf or Stephen Barney's Norton... more info
