Acknowledgements
It has taken a long time for this book to reach print, and I have incurred many
debts along the way. The Institute for Advanced Study provided me a stimulat-
ing environment in which to work, and I benefited from many fruitful conversa-
tions, especially with Alan Bowen. I am grateful to the Mellon Foundation for
supporting my year there. I also benefited from the generous feedback of audi-
ences at Indiana University, the International Congress on Medieval Studies at
Kalamazoo, New York University, and Ohio Wesleyan University.
The anonymous readers of the press offered feedback that was incisive,
thorough, and enormously helpful, and I thank them for their time and care. I
am grateful to Carlo Vessella, Anne Hiller, the ever-patient Katerina Zianna, and
everyone at De Gruyter for shepherding this project through the publication
process swiftly and efficiently. My thanks also go to Michael Hendry, who com-
piled the indexes.
The staff at the Bibliothèque nationale, British Library, Vatican Library, and
Biblioteca Capitolare, Verona, were patient, helpful, and generous with their
time. The librarians at Rutgers University Library have been indefatigable, espe-
cially during 2020 and 2021, when they worked in the most difficult circum-
stances. The Classics Department at Rutgers provides a warm and supportive
atmosphere in which to work; thank you to my colleagues and students for your
encouragement and companionship.
Finally, I owe an enormous debt to my family for putting up with me as I
have spent many hours sitting at a computer—to Oliver, Roger and Hazel, and
Judith and Erik. And most of all to Paul, for everything, always.
