Richard Rufus of Cornwall: Scriptum in Metaphysicam Aristotelis II
The second volume of Richard Rufus of Cornwall: Scriptum in Metaphysicam Aristotelis promises to reshape and deepen scholarly understanding of the reception of Aristotle's Metaphysics in the Latin West. Rufus, a leading voice in 13th-century Western philosophy, offers profound insights into Aristotelian thought that bring fresh interpretive perspectives.

Ranging from Iran to Ireland and from Sweden to Tunisia, Deborah Deliyannis, Hendrik Dey, and Paolo Squatriti present fifty objects—artifacts, structures, and archaeological features—created between the fourth and eleventh centuries, an ostensibly "Dark Age" whose cultural richness and complexity is often underappreciated.

Some of the things, like a simple ard (plow) unearthed in Germany, illustrate changing cultu...
