Description
Mann describes the composition and influence of the "Liber Catonis," a composite of six Latin texts that served as a school-text in medieval education, and considers it in light of other medieval school-texts. Identifies places where works that constitute the "Liber Catonis" are echoed in CT and in Langland's Piers Plowman.
