The Returner
The Earth is in terrible danger. The Babylonian horror Cthulhu has obtained the Book of Planes. With this magical text he can open the very fabric of reality and enter our world through the Domain of Planes to begin a mission of annihilation and conquest our universe has never known before. The only things standing in Cthulhu's path are three gifted humans and one unassuming, but cosmically gifted young man. Nirvana, a Buddhist monk who possesses infinite knowledge, Kuun'Liah, the living embodiment of the Earth, and Professor Parker J. McCoy, who can speak every language known to man, must train shy college student John Rourke Harken, The Returner, to utilize his cosmic powers to save the Earth from Cthulhu's unrelenting brand of savagery. It is a race against time to train young Rourke to put an end to Cthulhu's evil forever. But Cthulhu has plans of his own, for he has amassed an army to assist him in his diabolical plot of eradication and dominion. Can Nirvana and his compatriots train young Rourke in time? Or will Cthulhu's long shadow of evil engulf the entire universe?

A Garland of Satire, Wisdom, and History
This book brings into print editions, translations, and commentaries for more than two dozen unique poems (in Latin) from the late eleventh and early twelfth century, preserved in Houghton Library's anthology known as MS Lat 300. This book offers unparalleled access to the anthology, previously unavailable in English. From a literary point of view, those interested in lyric poetry composed in Old French and Old Proven al have paid increasing attention to Latin poetry that circulated in France, and of course those wishing to trace the background of the Carmina Burana have reason to study this kind of collection, but many poems remain unedited and even more cry out for translation and contextualization. With the publication of the accompanying facsimiles, palaeographers may now be able to solve the puzzle of where the manuscript originated--its story between the Napoleonic wars and 1965, when it was purchased by Harvard. All told, this volume opens the way to advances in medieval studies.
