| Summary: | This is a useful gathering together of the themes of medieval discussion of pain and suffering with special reference to the debates among the theologians at Paris in the thirteenth century. It is new work in a number of respects. The topic has not been systematically discussed in quite this way before. The discussion is comprehensively underpinned by footnotes giving extensive quotations from the source-texts, which include materials still available only in manuscript., Mowbray begins with a chapter of scene-setting and definition. This is a book about human not animal suffering, although the authors with whom it is concerned were also interested in the suffering of the fallen angels. |
