Reviews

'Professor Michael Herren has been in the vanguard of Hiberno-Latin studies for twenty-five years...This exceptionally useful collection brings together eighteen of [his] papers, many of them not readily available in most libraries, and provides an impressive overview of Herren’s range and scope of interests....[it] is one of the finest to appear in the Collected Studies series, and is a real service to the field.' Peritia, No. 14
