Thomas Williams' revision of Arthur Hyman and James J. Walsh's
classic compendium of writings in the Christian, Islamic, and
Jewish medieval philosophical traditions expands the breadth of
coverage that helped make its predecessor the best known and most
widely used collection of its kind. The third edition builds on the
strengths of the second by preserving its essential shape while
adding several important new texts--including works by Augustine,
Boethius, Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, Anselm, al-Farabi,
al-Ghazali, Ibn Rushd, Bonaventure, Thomas Aquinas, and John Duns
Scotus--and featuring new translations of many others. The volume
has also been redesigned and its bibliographies updated with the
needs of a new generation of students in mind.
All the great issues, forces, and institutions of the thirteenth
century are reviewed at generous length-the rise and character, the
curricula, and the influences of the early universities; the steps
taken towards popular education, both literary and technical; the
development of letters; the great books and the great writers of
the period; the Latin hymns of the church; Thomas Aquinas, Dante,
the Golden Legend, the Romance of the Rose, Jocelyn de Brakelond,
Matthew Paris, and Vincent of Beauvais; hospitals; famous women;
Marco Polo and the story of geographical exploration; the
systematization of law; and the beginnings of modern commerce.
