Reviewer Comment -
A central and fundamental part of history is the history of ideas including the
history of ideas about ideas. We, today, are still strongly influenced by ideas
developed in medieval Europe and are perhaps even more influenced by our ideas
about those ideas. This wonderful book tells the story.
