ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
It is a pleasure to thank those who have helped in the preparation
of this volume, especially Margaret Gibson and Robert Markus, who
first proposed the project and helped to see it through: Raymond Van
Dam, who read the entire work and offered helpful advice throughout;
and Frank Mantello, whose familiarity with later Latin prose saved me
from many an infelicity. I am also grateful to Cynthia White for help
in obtaining research materials, to William McCarthy for computer ad-
vice, and to Georgetta Cooper and Caitlyn Gilhooly for cartographic as-
sistance.
In addition, I would like to acknowledge the generous financial as-
sistance of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Woodrow
Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, and the Mrs. Giles Whiting
Foundation. Their support for the research on Caesarius in which this
volume shares was instrumental in its completion.
My final and greatest debt of gratitude is to my wife Patricia, to
whom I have dedicated this book. For her keen interest in Caesarius
and advice and encouragement throughout the project I am inexpressibly
grateful.
