Aristotle in Britain during the Middle Ages

This volume contains the papers given at the S.I.E.P.M. conference held at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1994 on Aristotle in Britain during the Middle Ages. The subject was chosen so as to bring together a wide variety of different specialists and to illustrate the range of Britain's contribution to medieval philosophy. A number of the discussions throw new light on celebrated British medieval philosophers, such as Robert Grosseteste and John Duns Scotus. Others show the importance of less well-known thinkers, such as Richard Fishacre, Richard Rufus and Thomas Wylton. The subjects of the papers range widely, both chronologically - from Anselm of Canterbury in the eleventh century to the political and ethical writers of fifteenth-century Oxford and Cambridge - and in method - from philosophical analyses to manuscript studies.
