The Fourteenth Century -- Rise of the Schools of the Renaissance. Culminates with the revival of Scholasticism.

Published in 1897, this was the first complete edition of Roger Bacon's influential thirteenth-century encyclopedia of science.

Private property, public financing, the theory of money, distributive justice, and interest and banking are some of the matters they dealt with. No date is noted for the first edition; the second seems only to incorporate corrections.

Through hundreds of published and unpublished sources, Alex J. Novikoff traces the evolution of disputation from its ancient origins to its broader influence in the scholastic culture and public sphere of the High Middle Ages.

This book is a valuable contribution to study of an important and complex development in European history: Christians acquiring accurate knowledge of Judaism and its history.
