Scholastic Humanism and the Unification of Europe, Volume II: The Heroic Age

by R W Southern

This second volume in a planned series of three examines the lives and work of a wide range of scholars, notably in France, whose humanism dominated Western Christendom between 1090 and 1212 and whose contributions had long-term effects on European history. Southern initially examines Rupert of Deutz, the enemy of scholastic learning, before considering the founder of 12th-century scholasticism, Master Anselm of Laon. Other chapters study the domination of Parisian schools throughout the 12th century and the unique contributions of Abelard, William of Conches, Peter Lombard, John of Salisbury and the two Peters of Blois to philosophy and to government. 228p (Blackwell 2001)
