Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library

The Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library (est. 2010) is a series of books published by Harvard University Press in collaboration with the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, which presents original medieval Latin, Greek, and Old English texts with facing-page translations designed to make written achievements of medieval and Byzantine culture available to English-speaking scholars and general readers. It offers familiar classics of the medieval canon as well as lesser-known texts of literary and cultural value to a global audience in accessible, modern translations based on the latest research by leading figures in the field.

With material and texts ranging from The Vulgate Bible[1] and the lives of saints to the deeds of heroes, and genres as diverse as travelogues, scientific treatises, and epic and lyric poetry, this new series brings the medieval world populated by holy men and sinners, monsters and angels, kings and slaves, knights and poets, to a new generation of readers. The series begins with a focus on three languages—Byzantine Greek, Medieval Latin, and Old English—that will be enlarged to incorporate additional vernacular languages in the future.

The general editor of the series is Jan M. Ziolkowski. The language editors are Daniel Donoghue (Old English), Danuta Shanzer (Medieval Latin), and Alice-Mary Talbot (Byzantine Greek).

The series is a sister of two others published by Harvard University Press: Loeb Classical Library and I Tatti Renaissance Library.
