 abstract = {Does authorship matter? The old-fashioned view, that it does matter, was well expressed by Richard Sharpe in the opening words of his recent essay on an evidence-based approach to the way we refer to medieval texts: ‘Everyone who studies a text needs to be able to place its composition in a context of time and place and audience. […] Who wrote the text is often the fundamental clue to its understanding: knowledge of the author allows us to place the text in the intellectual milieu, perspective, and even personal aims and interests of its creator, and beyond that to read},
