The Wandering Scholars: The Life and Art of the Lyric Poets of the Latin Middle Ages.

[Mark Kohut]

a book TRP has mentioned favorably as somehow influential.

Well, I picked up a copy of the 1961 Anchor edition, the sixth edition it
is always saying, the one TRP would most likely have bought since Doubleday
did
fine distribution in those days for Anchor---
"less imperfect than its predecessors"..."[but] just the scaffolding
of its subject." has a titled introduction which title therefore subject
surprised me.

THE PAGAN LEARNING.

"....and take to the roads and the taverns, tasting and celebrating the
pleasures of the senses."
[while Christianity reigned]...Back cover copy.

@ 300 pages, 30+ in Latin and another 30 of endnotes and bibliography.
