This second edition concentrates on various philosophers and
theologians from the medieval Arabian, Jewish, and Christian
worlds. It principally centers on authors such as Abumashar,
Saadiah Gaon and Alcuin from the eighth century and follows the
intellectual developments of the three traditions up to the
fifteenth-century Ibn Khaldun, Hasdai Crescas and Marsilio Ficino.
The spiritual journeys presuppose earlier human sources, such as
the philosophy of Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, and Porphyry and
various Stoic authors, the revealed teachings of the Jewish Law,
the Koran and the Christian Bible. The Fathers of the Church, such
as St. Augustine and Gregory the Great, provided examples of
theology in their attempts to reconcile revealed truth and man's
philosophical knowledge and deserve attention as pre-medieval
contributors to medieval intellectual life. Avicenna and Averroes,
Maimonides and Gersonides, St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Bonaventure,
stand out in the three traditions as special medieval contributors
who deserve more attention. This second edition of Historical
Dictionary of Medieval Philosophy and Theology contains a
chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive
bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced
entries on important persons, events, and concepts that shaped
medieval philosophy and theology. This book is an excellent
resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more
about medieval philosophy and theology.
