Peter Adamson, Ludwig-Maximilians Universitat, Germany, and King's College London, UK This is an excellent volume. Focused mainly on Latin scholasticism, the 31 essays are organized topically rather than historically and they are uniformly informative and well written. . . . The book is full of fascinating discussions of major topics too numerous to include here. In particular, Paasch's contribution on medieval logic games gave this reviewer much to think about as both a scholar and a teacher, and he found himself wondering how he could incorporate these games in undergraduate logic classes. All in all, this book stands out as an excellent source for those studying Latin scholasticism. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates; graduate students. B. T.
