These "Old Latin Gospels" are almost forgotten now, but they reveal| |`helpful introduction ... examples throughout are well chosen ... The book is well ordered, carefully researched and attractively written ... those interested in European civilization and culture ought to be grateful to Burton for this splendid ... monograph.'

This book is the first overall study of the texts and language of the Old Latin Gospels, the versions of the four Gospels that predate the Vulgate of Jerome. Author Philip Burton seeks to cast new light on their origins, translation techniques, and value as a source for vulgar Latin.
