An awesome work on a little known but major influence
Joachim of Fiore was a HUGE influence in the later Middle Ages. He was a prophet to kings popes and emperors. He was a major voice in the trinitarian disputes leading up to the Fourth Lateran Council and a major scripture exegete.

This review is from: The Influence of Prophecy in the Later Middle Ages: A Study in Joachimism (Paperback)
Joachim of Fiore was a HUGE influence in the later Middle Ages. He was a prophet to kings popes and emperors. He was a major voice in the trinitarian disputes leading up to the Fourth Lateran Council and a major scripture exegete. His influence can even be felt in the philosophies of history of the Modern period in Hegel and Marx. This is the major work by Reeves on Joachim's thought as a whole and is definitely worth it. Reeves quotes fairly heavily from Joachim's latin text so that may be somewhat of a barrier to the new grad student, but this volume is so rich in Reeves gentle and excellent prose that there is still much to be had here.
