This Handbook is especially intended to show the links between the philosophy written in the Middle Ages and that being done today. Essays by over twenty medieval specialists, who are also familiar with contemporary discussions, explore areas in logic and philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology, moral psychology, ethics, aesthetics, political philosophy and philosophy of religion. Each topic has been chosen because it is of present philosophical interest, and yet a more or less similar set of questions was also discussed in the Middle Ages. No party-line has been set about the extent of the similarity. Some argue that there are the closest continuities. Others stress the differences. All, however, share the aim of providing new analyses of medieval texts in a manner that is clear and comprehensible to philosophers who are not medieval specialists. The Handbook begins with eleven chapters looking at the history of medieval philosophy period by period, and region by region. They constitute the fullest, most wide-ranging and up-to-date chronological survey of medieval philosophy available. All four traditions Greek, Latin, Islamic and Jewish (in Arabic, and in Hebrew) are considered, and the Latin tradition is traced from late antiquity through to the seventeenth century and beyond.

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

CHOICE Review

Hexter (Univ. of California, Davis) and Townsend (Univ. of Toronto) emphatically assert that they have deliberately chosen not to replicate the "conventional" format of the venerable "handbook"--which seeks to provide elucidation of a specific literary field by means of a comprehensive coverage of authors, genres, and types. In presenting the "discipline's best current thinking," as exemplified by the contributions of both established and emerging scholars, this compendium achieves that objective, preferring to focus selectively on the formulation of challenging, problematic questions illustrative of the research and methodologies now informing the study of medieval Latin language and literature. The 28 essays, all requiring the reader's sustained concentration and close scrutiny, are organized into seven thematic clusters encompassing various analytical critiques and perspectives. To cite only a few examples, essays in the cluster "Manuscript Culture and the Materiality of Latin Texts" are organically juxtaposed with those in "Systems of Knowledge" and "Medieval Latin and the Fashioning of the Self," the latter cluster containing reflections on gender and sex and sexuality in medieval literature. Each chapter concludes with suggestions for further reading and bibliographies of primary and secondary sources; readers without facility in Latin will appreciate the English translations of cited Latin texts. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty. J. S. Louzonis St. Francis College, Brooklyn, NY
