"Many essays in this volume contribute to our appreciation of the Fiore and the small, yet growing, body of research dedicated to its analysis. Other essays deal primarily with questions of attribution and therefore echo past scholarly concerns. . . . [T]he volume as a whole succeeds in providing us with a valuable handbook to issues regarding questions of attribution and with new points of departure for those of us working in the field of Fiore studies." —Speculum
