Peeters Publishers’ 

Dallas Medieval 

Texts and Translations 

The Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations series pursues an ambitious goal: to build a library of medieval Latin texts, with 

English translations, from the period roughly between 500 and 1500, that will represent the whole breadth and variety of 

medieval civilization. The series aspires to becoming a medieval equivalent of Loeb’s famous Classical Library. Thus, it is open to 

all subjects and genres, ranging from poetry through philosophy, theology, and rhetoric, to treatises on natural science.

Albert of Saxony: 

Quaestiones circa logicam 

Twenty-Five Disputed Questions on Logic 

by M J Fitzgerald 

This translation of Albert of Saxony’s Twenty-five Disputed Questions on 

Logic brings to English readers an important fourteenth-century logician’s 

contribution to the analytic core issues in philosophy. Albert treats 

issues such as the nature and scope of logic; the meaning and reference 

of terms; self-reference; logical difficulties with possessive, non-designating, 

and fictitious terms; mental terms and relative pronouns; logical 

problems with propositions; the scope of denials and modal notions; 

Aristotle’s category theory; and the existence of universals.

Hildegard of Bingen: Two Hagiographies 

Vita sancti Rupperti confessoris and Vita sancti Dysibodi episcopi 

by H Feiss and C P Evans 

Today, after centuries of obscurity, Hildegard of Bingen has become one of the most famous women 

of the Middle Ages. Her life centered on two places: the abbey of St. Disibod and the abbey of 

St. Ruppert. In her only two efforts at hagiography, she composed vitae of these two patron saints. 

This edition presents the complete texts, along with the first translation into English.

Thomas Bradwardine: 

Insolubilia 

by S Read 

The fourteenth-century thinker 

Thomas Bradwardine is wellknown 

in both the history of science 

and the history of theology. 

This new edition of his Insolubilia, 

made from all thirteen known 

manuscripts, shows that he was 

also a logician of the first rank. The 

edition is accompanied by a full 

English translation and three appendices: 

an extra chapter found 

in two manuscripts that appears 

to contain further thoughts by 

Bradwardine; an extract from 

Ralph Strode’s Insolubilia; and 

an anonymous text that applies 

Bradwardine’s solution to a succession 

of different insolubles.

William of Saint-Amour: 

De periculis novissimorum temporum 

by G Geltner 

In early 1256, amidst growing tensions between Parisian 

secular and mendicant academies, the theologian William 

of Saint-Amour published his major assault on the friars, 

De periculis novissimorum temporum. As its title proclaims, 

the treatise employed the exegetical language 

of apocalypticism to expose the mendicants’ success as 

the ultimate universal threat. This volume offers a fresh 

Latin edition of De periculis and its first translation into 

any modern language. The introduction supplies the immediate 

context for the treatise’s original publication.

Viking Attacks on Paris 

The Bella parisiacae urbis 

of Abbo of Saint-Germain-des-Prés 

by Nirmal Dass 

In 885 AD, the 

Vikings laid 

siege to Paris, 

to which a 

young monk 

named Abbo, 

of the abbey 

of Saint- 

Germain-des- 

Prés, stood as 

witness. Later, 

he made a 

record of what 

he saw, heard 

and believed in a verse chronicle, the 

Bella parisiacae urbis. His often stirring 

account is not concerned with an impartial 

narration of events, but rather with 

salvation through history – of the individual 

and of the nation of the Franks.

A Thirteenth-Century Textbook of Mystical Theology 

at the University of Paris 

by L M Harrington 

The luminaries of late thirteenth-century Europe took great 

interest in the mysterious fifth-century author known as Dionysius the 

Areopagite. They typically read Dionysius not in the original Greek, but in a 

Latin edition prepared sometime in the middle of the thirteenth century. 

This edition was no mere translation. In addition to the famous translation 

made in the ninth century, it contained translations of scholia on the 

Dionysian texts, alternative readings, and excerpts from the Periphyseon.

Mystical Theology 

The Glosses by Thomas Gallus and the 

Commentary of Robert Grosseteste on 

De Mystica Theologia 

edited by J McEvoy 

The treatise by the Pseudo-Dionysius De Mystica 

Theologia was translated into Latin in the 

ninth century and glossed by Thomas Gallus 

in 1233. This new, critical edition and translation 

are based upon all five manuscripts, two 

of which are recent discoveries. The commentary 

by Bishop Grosseteste was made at 

Lincoln around 1242. It was based upon his new 

version of the Greek text. Both are published here with a translation.

Ranulph Higden: Ars componendi sermones 

by M Jennings and S A Wilson 

Ranulph Higden’s Ars componendi sermones follows 

a schematic common to many members of 

this genre. Its major focus, however, is the clear 

and comprehensive discussion of each thematic 

sermon part: the theme or scriptural text, its 

development in protheme and introduction, 

its division, subdivision, and embellishment.

Manegold of Lautenbach: 

Liber contra Wolfelmum 

by Robert Ziomkowski 

The revival of 

Platonism in 

western Europe 

during the 

eleventh century 

inspired masters 

of cathedral 

schools to 

explore ways by 

which philosophy 

could serve 

as the handmaiden 

of theology. 

Among those who denounced the study 

of the philosophical tradition of classical 

antiquity was Manegold of Lautenbach. 

He aimed his fiery polemical tract, the 

Liber contra Wolfelmum, at a master from 

Cologne who glorified the ancients while 

siding with the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry 

IV, against Pope Gregory VII in the struggle 

known as the Investiture Controversy.
