Chaucer’s Book of the Duchess
Through a Classical Eye
John Gower in England and Iberia
The Cambridge Companion to Boethius
Boethius (c.480–c.525/6), though a Christian, worked in the tradition of the Neoplatonic schools, with their strong interest in Aristotelian logic and Platonic metaphysics. He is best known for his Consolation of Philosophy, which he wrote in prison awaiting execution. His works also include a long series of logical translations, commentaries and monographs and some short but densely-argued theological treatises, all of which were enormously infl…
Reform and Cultural Revolution . James Simpson
Fiction and Incarnation
The Cambridge Companion to Abelard
Peter Abelard (1079–1142) is one of the greatest philosophers of the medieval period. Although best known for his views about universals and his dramatic love affair with Heloise, he made a number of important contributions in metaphysics, logic, philosophy of language, mind and cognition, philosophical theology, ethics, and literature. The essays in this volume survey the entire range of Abelard's thought, and examine his overall achievement in …

Philosophy, cosmology, and the twelfth-century Renaissance
This chapter is an exercise more in literary history than in the history of philosophy. In it I will attempt to isolate one particularly influential strain in the thought of the early twelfth-century schools, define the emphases that distinguish it from other intellectual currents in the period, and trace its influence in several areas of twelfth-century intellectual culture. The group of thinkers with whom I will be chiefly concerned, and whom I…

The Conflict of Love and Honor
Myth and Science in the Twelfth Century
The "Cosmographia" of Bernardus Silvestris
Several studies on the often turbulent relationship between the Christians and the Jews. The first, by Professor Hyam Maccoby, is a historical-theological overview of Christian anti-Judaism and anti-Semitism. The second study, by the editor, provides a critical historical-political overview of the We Remember document. Three theologians also respond to the Vatican document: Reverend John F. Morley, a Catholic; Professor Franklin H. Littell, a Pro…
The Literal and the Allegorical
The Function of Poetry in the ‘De Planctu Naturae’ of Alain de Lille
The allegories of Alain de Lille, though their historical importance is generally acknowledged, have been more admired, and at times deprecated, than closely examined, and there has been a remarkable divergence of opinion as to their intrinsic significance and literary quality. The De planctu naturae and Anticlaudianus present a remarkable blend of rhetoric, metaphysics, and dogma which led Barthélemy Hauréau to call Alain ‘le plus fecond et le p…
