The Variae

"By providing unfettered access to the Variae--the single most important Latin source for the history of sixth-century Italy--Bjornlie's translation will serve as an invaluable resource for generations of historians to come." --Scott G. Bruce, Professor of Medieval History, Fordham University "This is an exceptional and astounding piece of work. Bjornlie's exhaustive and highly readable translation provides scholars and students with a fresh set of sources on virtually every conceivable aspect of late ancient life: from tax exemptions and military campaigns to marriage arrangements and pantomime shows."--Kristina Sessa, Associate Professor of History, Ohio State University
