New and Forthcoming Books, 2010
We are proud to have published James Carley's edition and translation of John
Leland's De uiris illustribus as the inaugural volume in the series British
Writers of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period. As David Wallace,
Judith Rodin Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, observes,
"James Carley, the world's leading expert
on Leland and his Henrician contexts, has laboured for decades on this superb
edition and translation of the De uiris illustribus; it will prove a
landmark in the history of medieval, Renaissance, and Reformation scholarship."
The second volume in the British Writers series, editions and translations
of Latin poems on contemporary events by John Gower, is forthcoming in November.
Other editions and translations to be published this fall are those of the
questions on the sacraments of Radulphus Ardens, and of the liturgical commentaries
of St Symeon of Thessalonika. The Antwerp–London Glossaries, perhaps the last
long Old English text never to have been properly edited, will be available in
December, as will translations of three of William of Auvergne's shorter
spiritual works.
Two different but complementary philosophical works are also published this fall: a
wide-ranging study of philosophies of beauty, ancient, medieval and modern,
is followed by an exploration of faith and order, and of faith in order, from Augustine and
Anselm to Bonaventure and Scotus. A new study of the complex figure of Mary Magdalene in the late medieval Digby
play completes our list of publications for the year 2010.
In a review of the first two volumes of Giulio Silano’s translation of Peter Lombard published in the American Philosophical
Quarterly, Philipp Rosemann concluded: "To render all of the Sentences into English is a very
large task, and a self-effacing one, which the modern academic world does not always apprsceciate as it ought to.
We should thank Professor Silano all the more warmly for this fine accomplishment, which – needless to say – belongs in
the library of every seminary, theology department, and medievalist in the English-speaking world." Previously announced, the
fourth and last book of the Sentences is finally released in October this year.

LOUIS MACKEY
Faith in Order: Natural Theology in the Augustinian Tradition
Editions, Essays, and Monographs. Forthcoming December 2010. 240 pp.
ISBN 978–0–88844–421–9 • Cloth • $80.00
The Augustinian idea of order is discernible in the proofs of God's existence
offered by many philosopher-theologians. Mackey shows how, even within the
bounds of the Augustinian tradition, modes of proof and conceptions of what
is to be proven can vary when questioned from within or challenged from without.
