The strength of this volume’s contribution is precisely in the way that the Bristol Merlin project adopts the varied perspectives of all these specialists in order to combine their many insights into a “holistic approach” (p. 3) to the fragments’ content and context....[T]he authors have produced a great deal of information about the Bristol fragments and the study is indeed a welcome example of the potential of collaborative research in the humanities.
