Albert of Saxony: Quaestiones circa logicamTwenty-Five Disputed Questions on Logicby M J FitzgeraldThis translation of Albert of Saxony’s Twenty-five Disputed Questions on Logic brings to English readers an important fourteenth-century logi-cian’s contribution to the analytic core issues in philosophy. Albert treats issues such as the nature and scope of logic; the meaning and reference of terms; self-reference; logical difficulties with possessive, non-desig-nating, and fictitious terms; mental terms and relative pronouns; logical problems with propositions; the scope of denials and modal notions; Aristotle’s category theory; and the existence of universals.

Thomas Bradwardine: Insolubiliaby S ReadThe fourteenth-century thinker Thomas Bradwardine is well-known in both the history of sci-ence and the history of theology. This new edition of his Insolubilia, made from all thirteen known manuscripts, shows that he was also a logician of the first rank. The edition is accompanied by a full English translation and three ap-pendices: an extra chapter found in two manuscripts that appears to contain further thoughts by Bradwardine; an extract from Ralph Strode’s Insolubilia; and an anonymous text that applies Bradwardine’s solution to a suc-cession of different insolubles.228p (Peeters Publishers, May 2010, Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations 10) paperback, 9789042923171, $57.00.

Hildegard of Bingen: Two HagiographiesVita sancti Rupperti confessoris and Vita sancti Dysibodi episcopiby H Feiss and C P EvansToday, after centuries of obscurity, Hildegard of Bingen has become one of the most famous wom-en of the Middle Ages. Her life centered on two places: the abbey of St. Disibod and the abbey of St. Ruppert. In her only two efforts at hagiography, she composed vitae of these two patron saints. This edition presents the complete texts, along with the first translation into English. 157p (Peeters Publishers, May 2010, Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations 11) paperback, 9789042923188, $51.00.

The Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations series pursues an ambitious goal: to build a library of medieval Latin texts, with English translations, from the period roughly between 500 and 1500, that will represent the whole breadth and variety of

medieval civilization. The series aspires to becoming a medieval equivalent of Loeb’s famous Classical Library. Thus, it is open to all subjects and genres, ranging from poetry through philosophy, theology, and rhetoric, to treatises on natural science.

William of Saint-Amour: De periculis novissimorum temporumby G GeltnerIn early 1256, amidst growing tensions between Parisian secular and mendicant academies, the theologian William of Saint-Amour published his major assault on the fri-ars, De periculis novissimorum temporum. As its title pro-claims, the treatise employed the exegetical language of apocalypticism to expose the mendicants’ success as the ultimate universal threat. This volume offers a fresh Latin edition of De periculis and its first translation into any modern language. The introduction supplies the im-mediate context for the treatise’s original publication.

Viking Attacks on ParisThe Bella parisiacae urbis of Abbo of Saint-Germain-des-Présby Nirmal Dass

In 885 AD, the Vikings laid siege to Paris, to which a young monk named Abbo, of the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, stood as witness. Later, he made a record of what he saw, heard

and believed in a verse chronicle, the Bella parisiacae urbis. His often stirring account is not concerned with an impar-tial narration of events, but rather with salvation through history – of the indi-vidual and of the nation of the Franks. 130p (Peeters Publishers 2007, Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations 7) paperback, 9789042919167, $51.00.

A Thirteenth-Century Textbook of Mystical Theology at the University of Parisby L M HarringtonThe luminaries of late thirteenth-century Europe took great interest in the mysterious fifth-century author known as Dionysius the Areopagite. They typically read Dionysius not in the original Greek, but in a Latin edition prepared sometime in the middle of the thirteenth century. This edition was no mere translation. In addition to the famous transla-tion made in the ninth century, it contained translations of scholia on the Dionysian texts, alternative readings, and excerpts from the Periphyseon. 120p (Peeters Publishers 2004, Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations 4) paperback, 9789042913943, $43.00.

Mystical TheologyThe Glosses by Thomas Gallus and the Commentary of Robert Grosseteste on De Mystica Theologiaedited by J McEvoyThe treatise by the Pseudo-Dionysius De Mystica Theologia was translated into Latin in the ninth century and glossed by Thomas Gallus in 1233. This new, critical edition and transla-tion are based upon all five manuscripts, two of which are recent discoveries. The com-mentary by Bishop Grosseteste was made at Lincoln around 1242. It was based upon his new

version of the Greek text. Both are published here with a translation. 139p (Peeters Publishers 2003, Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations 3) paperback, 9789042913103, $51.00. Special Offer $41.00

Ranulph Higden: Ars componendi sermonesby M Jennings and S A WilsonRanulph Higden’s Ars componendi sermones fol-lows a schematic common to many members of this genre. Its major focus, however, is the clear and comprehensive discussion of each thematic sermon part: the theme or scriptural text, its development in protheme and introduction, its division, subdivision, and embellishment.76p (Peeters Publishers 2003, Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations 2) paperback, 9789042912427, $36.00.

Manegold of Lautenbach: Liber contra Wolfelmumby Robert Ziomkowski

The revival of Platonism in western Europe during the eleventh century inspired masters of cathedral schools to explore ways by which philoso-phy could serve as the handmaid-en of theology.

Among those who denounced the study of the philosophical tradition of classical antiquity was Manegold of Lautenbach. He aimed his fiery polemical tract, the Liber contra Wolfelmum, at a master from Cologne who glorified the ancients while siding with the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry IV, against Pope Gregory VII in the struggle known as the Investiture Controversy.142p (Peeters Publishers 2002, Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations 1) paperback, 9789042911925, $58.00.
