Research on medieval philosophy has advanced greatly in the last
thirty years, but there has not been a comprehensive encyclopedia
summarizing the current research available. This two-volume reference
work fills that void.

The Encyclopedia of Medieval Philosophy covers all areas of philosophy
in the Middle Ages and part of the Renaissance, ranging from 500 to
1500 CE. It contains general entries on medieval philosophers and
medieval philosophies and on the key terms and concepts in the subject
area, but it also provides more in-depth details and analyses of
particular theories. Furthermore, in order to gain an insight into
the social and cultural context of the material, entries are included
on the teaching of philosophy, the career of philosophers, and
the place of philosophy within the universities.

Complete with cross-references between key words and related essays
to enable efficient searches, this Encyclopedia is exhaustive,
unprecedented, and user-friendly. It is indispensable for scholars
of medieval philosophy and of the history of ideas, and it is also
useful for anyone interested in medieval ideas and thought.
