The publication of volume 12 of the Catalogus translationum et commentariorum has opened up a vast field of new manuscript material dealing with the medieval commentary tradition on Ovid’s ...Metamorphoses. Among the important French commentaries briefly discussed therein is Brussels, KBR 2100. The commentary was produced in northern France in the mid-thirteenth century and to date has received little detailed scholarly attention. In this article, I discuss the varied approaches adopted by the commentator in explicating Ovid’s text. The commentary contains some material in common with Arnulf of Orléans and the Vulgate Commentary. But it also adopts several quite unique approaches to glossing the text, including a fondness for outlining Ovid’s rhetorical flourishes and interpreting the text from a very Christian perspective.
The aim of this research study was to identify the experiences of at-risk college students who participated in flow activities as well as their study habits; the flow activities were based on Dr. ...Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s flow theory; the goal was to help fill in the gap in the literature on the lives at-risk students. This population is prone to dropping out of college, and the findings from this study may help in understanding this population. The actual study participants were recruited from special classes for students who were on academic probation students in an urban city college system. Separate from learning more about these students and how to meet their needs, there was a research hope of, through listening to these students’ voices, identifying ways to help other students understand their strengths and utilize them in their academic studies. The results indicated that most of the students found personal insights from exploring their flow experiences. The insights varied from an understanding of personal stress relief for some, and for other students a renewed sense of commitment to their academic life.

The catalogues of the manuscripts of Ovid's Metamorphoses produced by Franco Munari from 1957 to 1970 describe a total of 405 manuscripts of the poem. Since 1970, however, many new complete and fragmentary manuscripts have surfaced, some of which have been catalogued in published collections but many of which remain unknown to scholars. The present article provides detailed descriptions of 82 new manuscripts or manuscript fragments of the Metamorphoses not found in Munari. In addition, the article lists witnesses to the text now lost and manuscripts which have been miscatalogued by earlier scholars. The article supplements the author's earlier addenda to the manuscripts which appeared in Scriptorium in 1992 and brings the total known exemplars to 494.
