Alexander Souter was a Scottish biblical scholar, specializing in the text of the New Testament and Latin commentaries on the Pauline epistles. In 1937 he became editor-in-chief of what was envisioned to be the Oxford Latin Dictionary, but World War II ultimately led to his producing this more sharply-focused Glossary.
An indispensable guide to the study of the Latin Middle Ages in Britain from the sixth century to the sixteenth.
