Ellsworth); Beowulf and the Aeneid - The Role of the Poet in the Courtly/Heroic Society (Fidel Fajardo-Acosta); The Twelfth-Century Renaissance in Provençal Architecture (John D.

Murphy); Dante's Comedic Displacements of Ovid's Narcissus (Edward Peter Nolan); Two Men and a Letter with Beast - The Book of the Maccabees, Thirteenth-Century Paris, and Colorado MS 8 (Liesel M. Nolan); The Classical Allusions in Gottfried von Strassburg's Tristan (Nancy W. Nolte); "Vehementer Amo" - The Amorous Verse Epistles of Baudry of Bourgueil and Constance of Angers (Constance S.
