By gathering the contributions of thirty scholars of international renown in a wide array of topics, Hortus troporum is an attempt to capture the career and influence of Professor Gunilla Iversen, retiring Chair of Latin at Stockholm University. The breadth and depth of Iversen's research, interests, and influence are reflected in such areas as liturgy, musicology, exegesis, Latin philology, history, manuscript studies, comparative literature, and textual criticism. Divided into five parts, the book illustrates the broad spectrum of topics that characterizes the scholarly activity of Professor Iversen.
