Brief description: Stefanie Hamm, Berlin, Germany.
Review Quotes:
"[...] Hamm has now provided a comprehensive analysis, comparing and contrasting [the] two versions [of the chronicle of Richard of S. Germano], and explaining the context and reasons for their composition. [...] The real importance of this book comes with the conclusions about the date and purpose of the two chronicles. [...] Based on very close reading of the two versions [...], this analysis is undoubtedly convincing, and Dr Hamm gives us a much fuller picture of the chronicler and his milieu, and of how and why he worked, than we have hitherto possessed."
