Title: This is a very good book.
Review: Sebesta's Cantiones Profanae is excellent as BOTH a textbook and an analysis of this beautiful medieval poetry. Sebesta's translations make for good reading, and the original text with glossaries on the opposing page make this a textbook conducive to both learning and reading for pleasure. We used this book in my university Latin class, and it was both challenging and insightful. It gives a glimpse into medieval European life not often shown in most history classes. I heartily recommend this book.
