Editorial Reviews
"What is most striking about the entire book is its just perspective and its fine balance between scholarly prudence and philosophical suggestiveness in the presentation of the ideas and problems distinctive of medieval philosophy....As a sketch of medieval philosophy it qualifies as something of a classic." --Ernest A. Moody in Philosophical Review
