Historians have long noted the intense debates nineteenth and
twentieth-century scholars had over the concept of work, but few
are aware of the medieval debates over work that set the stage for
modern discussions. Indeed, medieval society established the
framework within which modern Western ideas about work have grown.
It is essential, therefore, that we learn what medieval thinkers
had to say on the subject. This study addresses this need by
examining the thought of Peter Damian and numerous other religious
leaders and groups of the High Middle Ages for evidence of their
contributions. The result is a deepening of our historical
understanding of the concept of work as well as widening our
appreciation of the modern world's debt to medieval society.
