The Latin Portrait - An Anthology
Made by G. Rostrevor Hamilton
Published by The Nonesuch Press: London 1929
Limited Edition Copy #1275 Of 1550

" Einhard's Life of Charlemagne, edited with introductions and notes by H. W. Garrod and R. B. Mowat, and issued by the Clarendon Press, Oxford in 1915, presents the definitive Latin text of one of the most celebrated biographies of the Middle Ages. Written by Einhard, a close associate and courtier of Charlemagne, this work provides a vivid, contemporary account of the emperor's reign, character, and achievements. The editors' careful scholarship and commentary situate the Latin text within both its Carolingian context and its classical antecedents, emphasizing Einhard's debt to Suetonius while illuminating his distinctive medieval perspective.

This edition combines philological precision with historical insight, making it invaluable to students of Latin literature, medieval history, and early biographical writing. Its detailed notes and textual apparatus reveal the linguistic artistry and political nuance of Einhard's portrayal of Charlemagne as a Christian monarch and reformer. This volume would particularly appeal to classicists, medieval historians, and collectors of early Oxford classical editions."
