| Summary: | There is, as the author points out, an enormous amount of work to be done in attributing, editing, and studying the scriptural commentary of the later Middle Ages, most of it created in the context of the routine teaching of the universities. Beryl Smalley was defeated in the end by the scale of this body of material. She ended her still fundamental The Study of the Bible in the Middle Ages at the end of the twelfth century and never completed the volume she had envisaged which would have taken the story onwards. This contribution on William of Alton, an English Dominican teaching at Paris, is an addition to the slowly growing series of monographs and editions in the ‘Smalley’ tradition, and with special debts acknowledged to the work and guidance of Gilbert Dahan. |
