The Dialectica Monacensis, a collection of logical treatises edited by L. M. de Rijk in 1967, has been pivotal in reconstructing the evolution of medieval logic. However, less attention has been given to the accompanying Tractatus Monacenses, preserved in the same singular manuscript. This volume presents the first complete edition of the Tractatus Monacenses and demonstrates that, while not homogeneous, the collection took its final form within the same intellectual environment as the Dialectica Monacensis. The volume argues convincingly that this environment was a German cathedral school around 1230, challenging de Rijk's earlier assertion of an English origin around 1160–1170. Additionally, the volume includes editions of three key texts integral to de Rijk's investigation into the sources of Peter of Spain’s renowned Tractatus: Quaestiunculae super Summam Ignoti, fragments of Summa Ignoti found within the Quaestiunculae, and Summulae Antiquorum. Together with an extensive introduction, these editions lay the foundation for a re-evaluation of the history of terministic logic, offering an alternative to the longstanding framework established by de Rijk.

Forskningsprogrammet "Representation och verklighet: Historiska och nutida perspektiv på den aristoteliska traditionen", som tilldelades anslag av Stiftelsen Riksbankens Jubileumsfond 2012, syftade till att studera hur medeltidens tänkare vidareutvecklade Aristoteles teorier om människans förmåga att ta emot, tolka och lagra sinnesintryck och att bilda begrepp utifrån dem. I programmet har specialister på grekisk, arabisk och latinsk aristotelism och moderna filosofer samarbetat i analysen av de medeltida verken och också ederat ett flertal medeltida texter som nu för första gången är tillgängliga i moderna vetenskapliga utgåvor. Detta är programmets slutrapport.

Sten Ebbesen has contributed many works in the field of ancient and medieval philosophy over decades of dedicated research. His crisp and lucid style and his philosophical penetration of often difficult concepts and issues is both clear and intellectually impressive. Ashgate is proud to present this thematically arranged three volume set of his collected essays, each thoroughly revised and updated. Volume Two: Topics in Latin Philosophy from the 12th -14th Centuries explores issues in medieval philosophy from the time nominalists and other schools competed in twelfth-century Paris to the mature scholasticism of Boethius of Dacia, Radulphus Brito and other 'modist' thinkers of the late thirteenth century and, finally, the new nominalism of John Buridan in the fourteenth century.

Ashgate is proud to present this three volume set of his collected essays, all of them thoroughly revised and updated. Each volume is thematically arranged. Volume One: Greek-Latin Philosophical Interaction explores issues of relevance to the history of logic and semantics, and in particular connections and/or differences between Greek and Latin theory and scholarly procedures, with special emphasis on late antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Aristotle's many philosophical andscientific works have been studied and commented on for over 2,000 years, but never as intensively as in the years between 1100 and 1600. At this time, they were the backbone of the scholastic culture that created the European university system. This book describes and compares the interpretive methods and publication strategies of the scholastics and contemporary Aristotelians. It argues that parts of the old methodology could be resumed, and it shows how valuable interpretative suggestions can be found that are not seen in newer literature. The book's title contains a program. When researchers today deal with the scholastics' interpretation of Aristotle, they typically start from their own opinion of what Aristotle actually meant. They then use that to illuminate the scholastics' understanding. Instead of this movement from Aristotle forward in chronology, the book argues for a reverse: start by understanding the scholastic interpreters, then go back to Aristotle and try to read him through their lenses.
