In Medieval Theory of Authorship, now reissued with a new preface by the author, Alastair Minnis asks, "Is it not better to search again for a conceptual equipment which is at once historically valid and theoretically illuminating?"Minnis has found such writings in the glosses and commentaries on the authoritative Latin writers studied in schools and universities between 1100 and 1400. The prologues to these commentaries provide valuable insight into the medieval theory of authorship. Of special significance is scriptural exegesis, for medieval scholars found the Bible the most difficult text to describe appropriately and accurately. 410 0$aMiddle Ages series. 606 $aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aAuthorship$xPhilosophy 606 $aPhilosophy, Medieval 606 $aCriticism$xHistory 606 $aScholasticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aAuthorship$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Medieval. 615 0$aCriticism$xHistory. 615 0$aScholasticism. 676 $a801/.95/0902 700 $aMinnis$b A.
