The Schools and the Cloister: The Life and Writings of Alexander Nequam (1157-1217)

By Richard William Hunt

A systematic introduction to the life and writings of one of the earliest known Oxford dons and monastic scholars. Nequam was a witness to the transition from the older monastic scholarship, which culminated in the work of Anselm and Bernard, to the highly-organized, university-based learning we now call scholarship.
