Congratulations to Michael W. Herren for a new edition

Michael W. Herren, ed., adiuvante Andrew Dunning, Iohannis Scotti Eriugenae Carmina, Corpus Christianorum Continuatio Medievalis 167, Turnhout: Bepols. 2020.

This volume offers corrections to the previous edition of the same title, published by the Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies, 1993. The apparatus fontium has been considerably expanded. The introduction updates the intervening 27 years of scholarship on Eriugena's poems and presents some new suggestions regarding the date and authenticity of some poems and on the poet-philosopher's study of Greek. Of particular interest to scholars of the classical tradition is the group of poems composed in Greek.
