"A model of what a historical survey should be."—Richard J. Morris, Los Angeles Times
"This survey of the aesthetics off medieval Latin civilization . . . reveals the insight and eloquence that would later gain him worldwide fame after the release of his novel, The Name of the Rose."—Alida Beccker, Philadelphia Inquirer
"An original and illuminating synthesis of disciplines usually treated separately."—Sunday Times
"The book lays out so many exciting ideas and interesting facts that readers will find it gripping."—Washington Post Book World

"This study stands by itself as a monograph on the development of the aesthetic principles and problems that engaged the Schoolmen from the sixth through the 15th century.
