Summary:

"Danuta Shanzer is a scholar of international caliber, and this volume honors her career on the occasion of her sixty-fifth birthday (or thereabouts). Most of the contributors are current or former students, colleagues, collaborators and friends, from Oxford, Berkeley, Cornell, Illinois, the University of Vienna, and elsewhere. They have chosen topics appropriate in some way to the honoree's scholarly interests. The volume's center of gravity is in late antiquity and early medieval Gaul, but some contributions embrace a number of authors in whom Shanzer herself has been particularly interested (Augustine, Martianus Capella, Boethius, Avitus of Vienne, Gregory of Tours), but the range and variety of the volume is also representative of her approach to the field."-- From the back cover.
