"Modern scholars continue to puzzle over how the "Glossa Ordinaria" was actually read. This study of the "Glossa Ordinaria" as a medieval 'hypertext' makes an important contribution to this puzzle. This book will be of interest to scholars in the history of the material text and the reception of books from the Middle Ages to modernity."--E. Ann Matter, University of Pennsylvania
