Homo animal nobilissimum
This monograph deals with the philosophical approach of thirteenth-century masters to concrete, practical manifestations of 'quantum ad naturalia' in human lives in their commentaries on Aristotle’s works on natural philosophy, both his genuine works and those then considered genuine. It inquires into what they deemed worthy of philosophical debate regarding this topic and how they tackled it. The first of the two volumes describes the cultural surroundings, the scholars’ way of approaching the topic, and their discourses on the peculiarity (singularity, unity, consistency) of humankind and on its internal differentiation according to gender, stage of life, social stratification, and differences due to ethnic status or geographic (climatic) diversity. This is the first comprehensive source-based study of the subject; it draws heavily on unedited texts.

Knowledge, Discipline and Power in the Middle Ages
This collection of essays is based on a conference in honour of David Luscombe held at the University of Sheffield in September 2006 under the title "Knowledge, Discipline and Power in the Middle Ages." The 14 contributions to this Festschrift, by leading scholars in the field, show the strength and variety of recent work on the intellectual history of the middle ages. A group of papers deals with changes in the intellectual landscape during this period. Other papers focus particularly on the theme of jurisdiction, while a third groups deals with knowledge and its uses. The papers fittingly reflect the breadth and inventiveness of David Luscombe's scholarship, and in particular his work on Peter Abelard. Contributors are Christopher Brooke, Charles Burnett, Joseph Canning, Giles Constable, William J. Courtenay, Martin Kintzinger, Robert E. Lerner, Brian Patrick McGuire, John Marenbon, Gert Melville, Constant J. Mews, Jurgen Miethke, Amanda Power, Andreas Speer, and Martial Staub.

Antoni Andreu, mestre escotista : balanç d'un segle d'estudis
Antoni Andreu fou un frare franciscà de la custòdia de Lleida que va viure a cavall dels segles XIII i XIV i un dels millors deixebles de Duns Escot. Més d’un centenar de còdexs i d’una trentena d’edicions dels anys 1471-1520 han conservat els seus tractats fins als nostres dies. Considerada globalment, la seva extensa obra és un curs complet de filosofia ad mentem Scoti. El seu escrit més destacat és el comentari a la Metafísica d’Aristòtil. A diferència del mestre Escot, Andreu no pretén ser original, però, en canvi, és més sistemàtic i clar. Gràcies a l’obra d’Andreu, l’escotisme va esdevenir una veritable escola filosòfica i teològica. Per això, Andreu és considerat “el segon fundador de l’escotisme”. L’objectiu d’aquest llibre és fer balanç dels estudis crítics publicats en el darrer segle. La primera part, recull i sintetitza les principals aportacions bibliogràfiques; la segona, sistematitza les dades conegudes de la seva vida i les seves obres.
