Festschriften are something of a nuisance. Most of them consist of essays on highlydisparate topics and of variable appeal and importance; most readers will be interestedin only one or two essays in any one collection, and conversely few of the essays in anyone collection are likely to interest more than a handful of readers. This particularcollection, of thirteen pieces, is characteristic. To be fair, its editors were forced to cometo terms with the wide chronological range of interest of their eminent honorand, andthis practically precluded coverage of less than the high Middle Ages and Renaissance.
