Miranda-García, Antonio - González Fernández-Corugedo, Santiago (eds), Benvenutus Grassus' On the well-proven art of the eye: Practica oculorum & De probatissima arte oculorum. Synoptic Edition and Philological Studies, Berna, Peter Lang (Late Middle English Texts, 1), 2011, 524 pp.

Resum
This book contains the extant tradition of Benvenutus Grassus' Treatise on the eye and six philological related studies. The tradition in Latin (Metz, Bibliothèques- Médiatèques, MS 176) is displayed with the four known versions in Middle English (Glasgow, Glasgow University Library, Hunter MSS 503 and 513); London, British Library, Sloane MS 661, and Oxford, Bodleian Library, Ashmole MS 1468) along with one in Provençal (Basel, Öffentliche Bibliothek der Universität, MS D.II.11). The diplomatic transcriptions of the manuscripts are synoptically arranged to ease the researchers' consultation and comparison. The philological studies deal with the versions of the Latin tradition and with the common and diverging features of the English vernacular tradition, mainly in the Hunter MSS. Both the synoptic edition and the philological studies are the result of a collaborative edition and joint research on Hunter MSS providing a state-of-the-art approach to the treatises. --- Antonio Miranda-García is Reader of English Philology at the University of Málaga. He is the leading researcher of a project for the electronic edition and compilation of an annotated corpus of late Middle English scientific prose, and is currently developing an automatic POS-tagger of Middle English texts. He has also a research interest in Authorship Attribution. --- Santiago González Fernández-Corugedo is Professor of English Philology at the University of Oviedo. His main fields of study are philology, historical linguistics, phonetics and phonology, and medieval studies. He has also a keen interest in international cooperation issues, and has chaired the Spanish Society for Medieval Language and Literature whose journal he has co-edited since 1989.
