Editorial Reviews

Bate's encyclopedia on the origins and functions of man's intellect and soul, three parts of which are here presented in the original Latin, mirrors issues that were being debated in Paris in the last quarter of the 13th century. The editors include an introduction that summarizes Bate's arguments. They assert that, while Bate's work is proof that the clich<'e> of the "Dark Middle Ages" contains an element of truth, Bate's attempt to compile and reconcile the work of earlier philosophers demonstrates the first glimmerings of the later Renaissance.
