The Mediaeval Mind (Volume 2 of 2)
A History of the Development of Thought and Emotion in the Middle Ages
This is the second volume of The Mediaeval Mind, Henry Osborn Taylor's history of thought and emotion in the Middle Ages, published in 1911. Having traced in the first volume the inheritance from antiquity and the Church Fathers and the growth of the medieval temperament, Taylor here takes up the ideal and the actual in society, chivalry, courtly love and the spiritual ideal of the saint; the symbolism that saw the visible world as a book of divine meanings; Latinity and the law; and the ultimate intellectual interests of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, from Abelard and the schools through Roger Bacon and Albertus Magnus to the systems of Aquinas and Duns Scotus and the vision of Dante. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
