Index
This index does not purport always to list every mention of an author or item, but for the most part only references that might be worth a reader’s time to consult. Again, readers are encouraged to search outside the volume for relevant items, for example, for rhetoric in tenth-century Anglo-Saxon England, there is much of value in terms of dialogue, assertion, enunciation, courteous speech, verbal context and contest and the like in an epic poem such as Beowulf, and much, no doubt, of the reason for the transcription of the document in its unique manuscript may well have been to set the words in correct and proper place and dimension. Occasional bibliographical items are included below, if they add value and have not been elsewhere alluded to in the volume. Readers are encouraged to look for the proper or second name of individuals. For example Bacon, Francis, not Francis Bacon, though sometimes a cross-reference will be provided. In the case of medieval names where the second name is a place, look for the first name (for example, Vincent of Beauvais). Many of the references are to material contained in the footnotes, rather than to material in the text itself. Some names (e.g. ‘Anselm’) are listed together, as the same figure often has various appellations, and in other cases names are kept quite separate. Names are listed for the most part as they appear in the references cited, though names in oblique cases are regularised to the nominative case. A reasonable variety of variant names for each person has been included. ‘Passim’ implies that there will be several other references in the volume, mainly bibliographical, but not noticed in the citations. References to modern authors are only where some discussion of their contribution takes place. Place names are included only when particularly important or interesting. A continuous reference (e.g. William of Conches: pp. 274–80) does not necessarily indicate an extended treatment, but rather, in most cases, a series of minor references to the author / item. Note too that references to this index in the pages above may be accompanied by the abbreviations ‘s.v.’ or ‘sv’ or ‘svv’ or ‘s.v.v’, meaning ‘under the word(s)’ (sub verbo, sub verbis; see above p. 488). Readers will note that from the citations below, the most popular figures in the present volume (leaving aside the omnibus topics such as ‘Applied arts’, ‘Cicero’, the De inventione and the Ad Herennium, the various Anselms, ‘dialectic’, ‘grammar’, ‘Italy’, ‘law’, ‘MSS’, ‘orality’ etc, ‘philosophy’, ‘politics’, the Renaissances, ‘rhetoric general’, ‘schools’, ‘Victorinus’ and ‘the virtues’), are Aristotle, John of Salisbury, Quintilian and Thierry of Chartres, with Boethius and Augustine not too far behind these, and with Quintilian in the lead!!

Footnotes
Other geographical areas are not normally indexed, as their relevance can be ascertained from other entries.
‘Scotus’, ‘Scot’ seems normal, but Lutz in her edition of John’s glosses on Martianus Capella (Lutz [1939]), has in her title ‘Iohannis Scotti Annotationes’. Manitius (1912) and Stock (1967) also have this.
