| Summary: | This is a volume in the series of short, semi-popular OUP studies of great medieval thinkers. Bonaventure was a prolific author who managed to maintain a balance few of his contemporaries were able to achieve between the spiritual and monastic and the nascent academic traditions. This enabled him to speak of great matters in a grand way as well as of important but extremely technical matters in the style of academic commentary and the tone of the increasingly inevitable disputation about the disagreements such commentary generated in the lecture room. The book begins with an introductory biography and setting of the scene. |
