To survey Alastair Minnis's career from such a vantage point is to be struck once again not only by the enduring value of what has already been achieved under his broadly interdisciplinary remit for medieval literary studies, but also by the extent to which approaches rooted in the analysis of scholastic intellectuality and practice continue to bear fruit.'

Written by a multidisciplinary team of leading international authors, the chapters honour and advance Alastair Minnis's field-defining scholarship. A wealth of expert essays refract the nuances of theory through the medium of authoritative Latin and vernacular medieval texts, providing fresh interpretative treatment to known canonical works while also bringing unknown materials to light.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe career and contribution of Alastair Minnis Vincent Gillespie\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: criticism, theory and the medieval text Andrew Kraebel\u003cbr\u003e 1.
