Medieval Editorial Review
The Carmina Burana: Songs from Benediktbeuern, 3rd Edition is a solid and well-prepared translation of the medieval masterpiece. The book contains complete translations for all of the poems and songs comprising the Carmina Burana, allowing readers to fully appreciate the beauty and significance of the work. The translation is easy to understand and the footnotes provide helpful explanations for cultural references and puns that may be lost in translation. The volume is also well-designed and durable, making it a worthwhile investment. One minor criticism is that the arrangement of the Latin texts does not always align with the "standard" German editions, but this is a minor issue. It would have also been helpful to have indications of which parts of the text are from the original manuscript and which are from the German edition. Additionally, some readers may find the notes to be more obscure than the original references. Overall, this translation of the Carmina Burana is highly recommended. While it may not be suitable for scholarly research due to certain limitations, it does succeed in making the collection accessible and readable for English-speaking audiences.
