I owe an important debt of gratitude to the con-
tributors whose expertise helped put this book
together. They are listed individually at the end
of the volume, but I must specifically acknowl-
edge the work of Albrecht Classen of the Univer-
sity of Arizona and Elisa Narin van Court of
Colby College, who gladly contributed a signifi-
cant number of entries each. I also want to thank
the three editorial assistants who helped with the
editing of the manuscript and contributed a
number of entries themselves: Malene A. Little at
Northern State University and Leslie Johnston
and Michelle Palmer at the University of Central
Arkansas.
I also want to express my gratitude to the Uni-
versity Research Council at the University of Cen-
tral Arkansas, chaired by Elaine McNiece, for their
generous grant that enabled me to hire two of my
editorial assistants.
Finally, I want to thank Doubleday, a division
of Random House, Inc., for permission to quote
extensively from
German and Italian Lyrics of the
Middle Ages
and from
The Lyrics of the Trouba-
dours and Trouvères,
two excellent 1973 antholo-
gies translated by Frederick Goldin.
