résumé

Review
'This extraordinatry mix of encyclopaedia and dictionary must be the most historically important work never to have been translated into English until this fine collaborative work.' Spectator '... with this publication, the whole extraordinary compendium is available to Third Milennium man for the first time ever in equally simple English ... [and] glorious contents.' Sunday Telegraph ' ... an accurate, literal translation, which contributes significantly to the field of Isidorian studies.' BMCR
Review
"It...is a work of reference which will appeal to a wide range of medievalists as well as classicists, especially those interested in medieval and Roman science and knowledge. The book is described as a "highly readable translation," which it certainly is, and also a "complete English translation" of the original work (p. i). " - H-NET, Keith Lilley, School of Geography, Archaeology and Palaeoecology, Queen's University Belfast
