Mediaeval Commentaries on the Sentences of Peter Lombard: Current Research (Medieval Commentaries on the Sentences of Peter Lombard Medi) [Hardcover]

G. R. Evans (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2002 | Series: Mediaeval Commentaries on the Sentences of Peter Lombard

This volume deals with the development of a major phenomenon of the medieval academic world, the adoption, after initial uncertainties, of the "Sentences" of the twelfth century Peter Lombard as the standard textbook of medieval theology, and the growth of a huge literature of commentary upon it from the thirteenth century. The first of two projected volumes is a survey of this literature and a series of studies of authors and their commentaries in the principal centres of Paris and Oxford and elsewhere, by modern scholars at the leading edge of current research. This should prove an indispensable resource for the future, bringing together as it does the "status quaestionis" on this literature.

This review is from: Mediaeval Commentaries on the Sentences of Peter Lombard: Current Research (Medieval Commentaries on the Sentences of Peter Lombard Medi) (Hardcover)

I work in academia and I have seen books outrageously priced but this really takes the cake. Who in their right mind will buy this? Even libraries can't blow this kind of money on one book. Sadly I have seen my students find a book somewhere and photocopy it and even if it is 500 pages it is still cheaper to copy it IN COLOR than to buy it. Brill needs to wake up and get real with their pricing.
