Colleagues:
To bother you with one more question: A student of mine is working on
an honors thesis that involves medieval attitudes toward monstrous
and subhuman races, and is currently looking for evidence of the
later medieval scholarly/clerical view on the subject (broadening her
search from the starting point of medieval Alexander romances). Can
anyone recommend any books/articles on the subject? Preferably in
English, but she can get through some German.
Thanks,
Phyllis
