Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library
The Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library (est. 2010) is a series of books published by Harvard University Press in collaboration with the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, which presents original medieval Latin, Greek, and Old English texts with facing-page translations designed to make written achievements of medieval and Byzantine culture available to English-speaking scholars and general readers. It makes classics of the medieval canon and lesser-known texts accessible through modern translations based on the latest research.
Material and texts in the series range from the Vulgate Bible[1] and the lives of saints to genres as diverse as travelogues, scientific treatises, and epic and lyric poetry. Early volumes have focused on three languages: Byzantine Greek, Medieval Latin, and Old English.
The general editor of the series is Jan M. Ziolkowski. The language editors are Daniel Donoghue (Old English), Danuta Shanzer (Medieval Latin), and Alice-Mary Talbot (Byzantine Greek).
The series is a sister of three others published by Harvard University Press: Loeb Classical Library, I Tatti Renaissance Library, and Murty Classical Library of India.
