Synopsis
Medieval logicians advanced far beyond the logic of Aristotle, and this book demonstrates the magnitude of their achievement. The author focuses on the work of some of the great figures of the fourteenth century - including Walter Burley, William Ockham, John Buridan, Albert of Saxony, and Paul of Venice and deals systematically with their theories of truth conditions and validity conditions. Among the topics taken up in the book 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. The first book devoted to a systematic exposition of the logic of the Middle Ages, this study reveals how much of what seems characteristically twentieth-century logic was familiar long ago, and it also holds out the hope that medieval logic may yet contribute to the solution of twentieth-century problems. Readership: students of medieval logic and philosophy; and the philosophy of language.

Review
From 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."John Longeway, 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. (Peter King, Philosophical Review)
