John Blund's Treatise on the Soul is probably the earliest text of its kind: a witness to the first reception of Greek and Arabic psychology at Oxford and foundation for a new area of medieval philosophical speculation. This book contains Hunt's Latin edition with a new English translation and a new introduction to the text by Michael Dunne.

This volume completes the first full critical edition of the later work of the medieval philosopher and theologian Henry of Harclay, together with an English translation prepared in collaboration with Raymond Edwards. Questions 1-14 were published as volume XVII in the Auctores series.

In his Dialogus William of Ockham (c. 1285 to 1347/8) turned from pure philosophy and theology to polemic, in the form of a dialogue between a student and a university master. In Parts 2 and 3, reproduced here, they debate the extent of the Pope's power within the church.

Kilwardby's commentary on Aristotle's Prior Analytics was written in the heady atmosphere of the early 1200s, when long-forgotten Aristotelian works were being rediscovered. This edition in two volumes makes Kilwardby's Latin text available together with an English translation.

Thomas Wylton's Quaestio de anima intellectiva presents a controversial defence of Averroes' interpretation of Aristotelian psychology. The detailed introduction guides the reader through the transmission of the text, as well as the philosophical contents of one of the most significant medieval treatments of the nature of the soul.

One of the first to teach the new Aristotle, Richard Rufus of Cornwall here presents exciting accounts of divisibility, growth, and Aristotelian mixture which transform our understanding of the introduction of Aristotelian natural philosophy to the West and provide insight into the early history and prehistory of chemistry.

The Abstractiones is of great historical interest because it gives a window onto how generations of British scholars learned a uniform approach to logic and reasoning from basics up to more sophisticated strategies in modal logic and quantification. It gives a systematic introduction to the techniques and terminology found in medieval philosophy.

The book focuses on the teaching of Adam of Bockenfield, a key figure in the history of the introduction of Aristotle's natural philosophy in England. It offers an edition of three early Latin commentaries on the tract On memory and recollection, all of them produced in the nascent Faculty of Arts at the University of Oxford.

This is the first great commentary in the Western European tradition of expounding Aristotle's Metaphysics. Rufus addresses questions such as 'what is truth?' `what is matter?', 'what are numbers?', `how do corruptible and incorruptible substances differ?', and `how do sensible objects act on the soul?'.

This volume introduces the career and legacy of Stephen Langton, known for his role as Archbishop of Canterbury in securing the Magna Carta. It shows that his influence as arguably the leading Parisian master of his time has been misunderstood and undervalued.

The volume contains a critical edition of 26 questions (no.75-97, 204, 217-218, 222), mostly concerning the concept of charity or love (caritas). It is part of the Quaestiones Theologiae corpus, the chief speculative work of Stephen Langton, later Archbishop of Canterbury, preceded by an extensive study of Langton's theories of love and fear.
