This volume, first published in 1988, offers a comprehensive and
authoritative account of the history of a complex and varied body
of ideas over a period of more than a thousand years. A work of
both synthesis and assessment, The Cambridge History of Medieval
Political Thought presents the results of several decades of
critical scholarship in the field, and reflects in its breadth of
enquiry precisely that diversity of focus which characterised the
medieval sense of the 'political', preoccupied with universality at
some levels, and with almost minute particularity at others. Thus
among the vital questions explored by the distinguished team of
contributors are the nature of authority, of justice, of property;
the problem of legitimacy, of allegiance, of resistance to the
powers that be; the character and function of law, and the role of
custom in sustaining a social structure. While the predominant
emphasis of the volume is necessarily upon those ideas that
developed within Latin Christendom, full weight is also given to
the impact of Byzantine, Jewish, and Islamic thought, and the whole
comprises a unique distillation of knowledge upon a multi-faceted
screen.
