Editorial Reviews

Review

Marenbon and Orlandi's superb new book in the Oxford Medieval Texts series is a critical edition with annotated translation of one of Abelard's most intriguing works. The Heythrop Journal A comprehensive and clear edition and translation, with a decent introduction, bibliography, notes and indices ... The editors work hard at explaining the nuances of the philosophical arguments in the notes to the text, and they do this well. Journal of Theological Studies The English-reading public has reason to be grateful for this elegantly translated, fully annotated and carefully introduced edition of a work that has up till now perhaps received less attention than its due.
