Frank T. Coulson and Justin Haynes have produced the first English translation, accompanied by the Latin text, of Pierre Bersuire’s Moralized Ovid (Ovidius moralizatus, not to be confused with the French Ovide moralisé) since William Reynolds’ Ph.D. dissertation completed in 1971 at the University of Illinois. They have thus rendered a tremendous service to the English-reading public by putting at its disposal in a quite readable and accurate translation one of the most influential medieval commentaries to Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
