The long diatribe by Michael of Cornwall against Master Henry has been edited by Professor A. He has also written an interesting article upon the poet. In recent years a Bollandist, Father Grosjean, has transcribed the long saints’ lives of the poet and will edit them in the Analecta Bollandiana the Life of St Francis has appeared already. In 1927-28 we studied the poet’s grammatical works and found them unexpectedly interesting. This edition of the shorter poems relating to England is the continuation of the attention which one of us (Mr Russell) gave to the poet while a graduate student at Harvard studying with Professor Haskins. The success of Master Henry of Avranches as a poet in his day and the abundance of the evidence about his life make him an instructive and interesting subject for study.
So it has happened that the works of many of the abler mediaeval poets have not received much critical attention. The editing of the Latin poetry of the Middle Ages has proceeded very slowly it has fallen somewhere between the classicists and the modern philologists. 62 SERMO REGIS DUOBUS CYRURGICIS TEMERARIIS PRESUMENTIBUS CURARE CRUS CONFRACTUM IOHANNIS MANSEL
