Abstract

We have here a worthy successor to Professor Kretzmann’s earlier work, William of Sherwood’s Introduction to Logic. The latter had already shown that the work of a thirteenth-century logician could be of much more ample scope and philosophical and logical interest than was that of the more recent so-called ‘traditional’ logicians. A similar comparative amplitude of interest is also evident in the present companion-volume, wherein the form-words studied go well beyond the ‘traditional’ syncategorematics, all, no and some, to extend to whole, infinitely many, both, of every qualification, nothing, neither, but, alone, only, if, unless, and, or and so forth.
