POOLE, R.L. _Illustrations of the History
of Mediaeval Thought_, passim. National Dictionary of
Biography, Art. _John of Salisbury_.
=University Studies=. ABELSON, PAUL. _The Seven Liberal
Arts_. The best study in English. Contains much information
regarding university text-books in these subjects.
LOOMIS, LOUISE R. _Mediaeval Hellenism_. Valuable information
concerning the history and the translations of
the works of Aristotle, Galen, Hippocrates, and other
Greek writers. ZELLER, E. _Aristotle and the Earlier
Peripatetics_. The standard treatise on the works of
Aristotle, and their history.
The student is earnestly advised to spend a few hours in examining such
copies of the mediaeval text-books as he may find in his college
library. The time thus spent will do far more to clarify his ideas as to
their character and extent than much talk about them. Old editions,
often with the commentaries, may be available; some libraries possess
MS. copies. Translations of the more important works of Aristotle may be
found by reference to the library catalogue; among these may be
mentioned _the Rhetoric_, by J.E.C. Welldon; the _Politics_, by B.
Jowett; the _Ethics_ (Nicomachean), by F.H. Peters; the _Poetics_, by
S.H. Butcher. Of the _Corpus Juris Civilis_, the _Institutes_ have been
translated by T.C. Sandars; the first part of the _Digest_ by C.H.
Monro.
