The thirteenth-century logician Lambert of Auxerre was well known
for his Summa Lamberti, or simply Logica, written in the mid-1250s,
which became an authoritative textbook on logic in the Western
tradition. Our knowledge of medieval logic comes in great part from
Lambert's Logica and three other texts: William of Sherwood's
Introductiones in logicam, Peter of Spain's Tractatus, and Roger
Bacon's Summulae dialectics. Of the four, Lambert's work is the
best example of question-summas that proceed principally by asking
and answering questions on the subject matter. Thomas S. Maloney's
translation of Logica, the only complete translation of this work
in any language, is a milestone in the study of medieval logic.
More than simply a translation, Maloney's project is a critical,
comprehensive study of Lambert's logic situated in the context of
his contemporaries and predecessors. As such, it offers a wealth of
annotation and commentary. The lengthy introduction and extensive
notes to the text explain the origin, theoretical context, and
intricacies of the text and its doctrines. Maloney also addresses
the disputed issues of authorship, date, and place of publication
of the Summa Lamberti and makes available to the English-only
audience the French, German, and Italian secondary sources-all
translated-that are needed to enter the discussion.
