"A very useful tool indeed both for specialists and amateurs! It
brings together a remarkable bunch among the best scholars in the
field from all over the world. The information is rich, precise,
and up-to-date; yet the arrangement of the material is simple and
handy." Claude Panaccio, Université du Québec à
Trois-Rivières <!--end-->
"An unparalleled source of information on the lives and thought
of no fewer than 138 medieval Christian, Islamic, and Jewish
philosophers. There are substantial essays here on the well-known
heavyweights, such as Augustine, Averroes, Aquinas, Maimonides, and
Ockham, but also useful accounts of the somewhat less well known,
and the essential minimum on the various shadowy figures of the
period, such as Berthold of Moosburg and William of Ware. This book
is a ‘must-have’ for any serious student of medieval
philosophy or theology." Gareth B. Matthews, University of
Massachusetts, Amherst
"This volume is a welcome addition to the currently available
reference works on medieval philosophy. Its well-written historical
articles and its concise and helpful entries on almost 140 medieval
philosophers makes this book an indispensable scholarly tool for
specialists and non-specialists alike." Eleonore Stump, St.
Louis University
"This is an impressive collection of work on a perennially underappreciated period of philosophical thought, and I will certainly be recommending it both to my students and to colleagues as a valuable resource in gaining familiarity with medieval thought, within and without the Latin West." - Christina Van Dyke, Calvin College
