Marcia Colish is one of the most influential scholars of the
history of medieval and early modern thought, the author of
numerous books and scores of articles in the field, as well as a
pioneering President of the Medieval Academy of America. This
volume honours her accomplishments with papers by her many
colleagues, friends, and former students, who are themselves
prominent scholars from across a range of disciplines. The chapters
are diverse chronologically and topically, yet they are all
stimulated by themes that Prof. Colish has explored during her long
and distinguished career. They address the richness of European
intellectual history between the twelfth and the sixteenth
centuries, treating the multiple heritages of philosophy, theology,
political theory, historiography, classical reception, and many
other subjects to which her scholarship extends. The volume
demonstrates the power of ideas in the development of European
history generally, revealing that the careful study of the works of
the ‘mind’ does indeed ‘matter’.
