摘要：Brill's Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages provides an English translation of Gert Melville and Martial Staub's Enzyklop.die des Mittelalters , originally published by Primus, the Darmstadt - based imprint of the Wissenschaftliche Buchge - sell schaft. Since its publication in 2008, the Enzyklop.die has become something of a household name i n Germany, where it is listed frequently alongside other encyclopaedias and dictionary - type reference works such as the famous Lexikon des Mittelalters . Due to its continuing popularity, particularly amongst University students and a wider public, a second edition of the Enzyklop.die was published in 2013, and it is this second edition that provides the basis for Brill's new English translation. Given the mostly favourable reviews that the Enzyklop.die has received over recent years, it should come as no su rprise to find that Brill's Encyclopedia maintains the tried - and - tested format of its German exemplar. The two - volume book has been produced to a very high standard, and its solid material quality means that it will withstand even the most frequent usage i n a University library.
