Synopsis
The first book devoted to a systematic investigation of the logic of the high Middle Ages, this work demonstrates the magnitude of the achievement of medieval logicians. Broadie focuses on the work of some of the great figures of the 14th century, including Walter Burley, William Ockham, John Buridan, Albert of Saxony, and Paul of Venice, and analyzes their theories of truth conditions and valid conditions. Among the topics considered are the medieval exposition of the quantifier shift fallacy, and the rules of valid inference devised to deal with arguments whose premises are not all present-tensed. Revealing how much of what seems characteristically 20th-century logic was actually familiar long ago, Broadie here demonstrates how medieval logic may yet contribute to the solution of 20th-century problems.

Review
From the reviews of the first edition: "An excellent introduction to, and handbook of, medieval logic....Fills a need met by nothing else written to date....For many it might make medieval logic interesting for the first time as a source of genuine logical insight."--International Studies in Philosophy
"Informed, intelligent, and clearly written....The selection of topics is judicious, and the presentation well organized....In short, if you have been wondering what medieval logic is all about, this is an excellent book to begin with."--Philosophical Review
"A well-written and informative account of the late-medieval doctrines that were relevant in early-sixteenth-century logic. Broadie shows that they are of great philosophical value."--Speculum
