4.0 out of 5 stars
excellent resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cambridge History of Later Greek and Early Medieval Philosophy (Hardcover)
This volume is a strong companion to the Cambridge History of Later Medieval Philosophy (CHLMP). CHLMP is a superior volume, but this still is quite good, and covers a great deal of material that is often neglected in standard treatments of medieval philosophy. Indeed, many histories of the medieval period are criticized for failing to cover the very periods included in this volume.By the way, the reference to D. M. Armstrong is not entirely Amazon's fault - the Cambridge University Press web site lists the book incorrectly as well. They don't even know the editor of their own book!!!

A.H. Armstrong-not D.M. Armstrong,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cambridge History of Later Greek and Early Medieval Philosophy (Hardcover)
I am just writing to say that if you intend to sell a book for 150$ you could provide the right information about it-the editor is not D.M. Armstrong-it is Arthur Hilary (A.H.) Armstrong-also the foremost translator of Plotinus into English and a leading scholar in the field.
