Augustinian Theology in the Later Middle Ages
The most comprehensive and extensive treatment to date, based on a major reinterpretation, of what has been called late medieval Augustinianism.
The Cambridge Translations of Medieval Philosophical Texts: Volume 2, Ethics and Political Philosophy
The eagerly-awaited second volume of The Cambridge Translations of Medieval Philosophical Texts will allow scholars and students access for the first time in English to major texts in ethics and political thought from one of the most fruitful periods of speculation and analysis in the history of western thought. Beginning with Albert the Great, who introduced the Latin west to the challenging moral philosophy and natural science of Aristotle, and concluding with the first substantial presentation in English of the revolutionary ideas on property and political power of John Wyclif, the seventeen texts in this anthology offer late medieval treatments of fundamental issues in human conduct that are both conceptually subtle and of direct practical import. Special features of this volume include copious editorial introductions, an analytical index, and suggestions for further reading. This is an important resource for scholars and students of medieval philosophy, history, political science, theology and literature.
The Governance of Kings and Princes
This is the first edition of the Middle English version of an influential treatise on governance entitled De Regimine Principum. The first volume contains a critical text of the Middle English prose and second will provide an introduction, textual notes and a glossary. Aegidius Romanus (Giles of Rome), an Augustinian friar and professor of theology at the University of Paris, composed the Latin treatise that underlies the Middle English text toward the end of the reign of the French king Philip III (1270-85). The work was addressed to the king’s son, who succeeded his father as Philip IV, know as "the Fair" (1285-1314). This edition first published in 1997. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
Giles of Rome's De Regimine Principum
From the time of its composition (c.1280) for Philip the Fair of France until the early sixteenth century, Giles of Rome's mirror of princes, the De regimine principum, was read by both lay and clerical readers in the original Latin and in several vernacular translations, and served as model or source for several works of princely advice. This study examines the relationship between this didactic political text and its audience by focusing on the textual and material aspects of the surviving manuscript copies, as well as on the evidence of ownership and use found in them and in documentary and literary sources. Briggs argues that lay readers used De regimine for several purposes, including as an educational treatise and military manual, whereas clerics, who often first came into contact with it at university, glossed, constructed apparatus for, and modified the text to suit their needs in their later professional lives.
A Companion to Giles of Rome
In A Companion to Giles of Rome, Charles Briggs, Peter Eardley, and seven other leading specialists provide the first synoptic treatment of the thought, works, life, and legacy of Giles of Rome (c. 1243/7–1316), one of medieval Europe’s most important and influential scholastic philosophers and theologians. The Giles that emerges from this volume was a subtle and independent thinker, who more than refining and modifying the positions of his teacher Aquinas, also made strikingly original contributions to theology, physics, metaphysics, psychology, ethics, logic, rhetoric, and political thought. He was also the founding intellectual of the Augustinian friars and a key participant in controversies at the University of Paris, and between Church and State. Contributors are: Charles F. Briggs, Richard Cross, Silvia Donati, Peter S. Eardley, Roberto Lambertini, Costantino Marmo, Martin Pickavé, Giorgio Pini, and Cecilia Trifogli.
On Ecclesiastical Power
Introduced and translated by Arthur Monahan, this work is a specific attempt to redress the historical imbalance of material available in English dealing with the classic medieval conflict in church/state relations.
A Companion to James of Viterbo

Contributors are: Antoine Côté, Stephen D. Dumont, R. W. Dyson, Mark D. Gossiaux, Mark Henninger, Thomas Osborne Jr., Martin Pickavé, Eric L. Saak, Jean-Luc Solère, and Gianpiero Tavolaro.
