Abelard is one of the foremost protagonists of the "twelfth-century
Renaissance." He 'picks up the baton' from Boethius resuming the
activity of commenting on Aristotle's works. The present book
focuses on the logical-grammatical analysis of natural language,
which for Abelard is a fragment of "scientific Latin." Tools of
modern categorial grammar are employed to clarify many of the
problems raised by historiography (such as meaning, abstract
entities and universals). Among the merits of the volume is the
fact that it has enlightened the radical interplay between the
traditions of Aristotle's and Priscian's commentators and, in this
context, Abelard's peculiar role in exploring a new field of
linguistic inquiry. An ample analysis of grammatical sources and
critical literature allows to evaluate the progress which is at the
basis of the forthcoming terministic logic. The book is aimed at
scholars of medieval philosophy as well as historians of logic and
linguistics.
