Review(s)
«… on a affaire à un ensemble mûrement pesé, notamment sur la différence entre les faits linguistiques (syntaxe, morphologie, orthographe) et culturels (sources utilisées sous forme d’un manuscrit, intertextualité, compréhension des intérêts de l’auteur) … la cohérence de l’ensemble et sa rigueur forcent l’admiration.» (P. Bourgain dans Bibliothèque de l’Ecole des Chartes, 159, 2001, p. 633)
BIO
On 16 September 2022, Professor R.B.C Huygens, until 1997 professor of Medieval Latin at the University of Leiden (The Netherlands), passed away at the age of 90. What Professor Huygens has achieved as a text editor is generally acknowledged to be the nec plus ultra, to quote the motto printed on his obituary. With his passing a magister of the ars edendi has undoubtedly been taken from us.
Summary
This volume contains reissues of a majority of the early editions of Latin texts by Professor R.B.C. Huygens, all of which were published between 1954 and 1972. All texts have been newly collated, in some cases manuscripts not previously used have been added. Obviously, since many of the manuscripts are of miscellaneous composition, not all texts they contain (other than the ones edited here) have been mentioned in the introductions, let alone literature dealing with them.
