The Lover's Confession: A Translation of John Gower's Confessio Amantis

Edited and translated by Brian Gastle and Catherine Carter, with Latin translations by Andrew Galloway

John Gower’s "Confessio Amantis" ("The Lover’s Confession") is one of the most important English works of the fourteenth century. Within its frame of the lovesick lover’s confession are well over a hundred stories, mainly derived from classical mythology, the Bible, and history which exemplify the Middle Ages. Echoing the octosyllabic line of the original, this is the first translation of the entire (33,000-line) poem, including its Latin verses and glosses.

The Miracle of Theophilus, by Gautier de Coinci

The legend of Theophilus is the most famous medieval miracle story.  A good man gives in to Vain Glory, sells his soul to the Devil, has a terrible crisis of conscience, and is saved by the Virgin. The story is translated into all European languages and appears in stained glass and sculpture of the most famous churches. Gautier de Coinci’s long and colorful version of the legend opens a door that allows students to see the medieval period’s greatest fears and highest hopes.

Guy of Saint-Denis, Tractatus de tonis

Edited and translated by Constant J. Mews, Carol J. Williams, John N. Crossley, and Catherine Jeffreys

The Tractatus de tonis of Guy of Saint-Denis differs from other treatises on plainchant in the depth of its analysis of the various tones into which chant was traditionally classified. The treatise is preserved as the concluding item in an anthology of texts about plainchant that Guy compiled (now London, British Library, MS Harley 281), beginning with some writings of Guido of Arezzo and a Cistercian tonary, but also including the Ars musice of Johannes de Grocheio and the Tractatus de tonis of Petrus de Cruce.
