| Summary: | Other than to researchers in the history of science, Albert the Great remains something of a marginal figure, known largely as Aquinas's most important teacher and as an enthusiastic communicator of the incipient medieval Aristotelian tradition. This extensive and (as far as this reviewer can tell) exhaustive bibliography places all researchers into thirteenth-century thought in its compilers’ debt. From a theologian's point of view, what is striking is the relative neglect of Albert's theological oeuvre in research over the past one hundred years, at least to judge by the number of entries in the relevant categories here. Albert was, after all, by training and profession a theologian, and spent over a year of his long life as Bishop of Ratisbon. |
