in the text together and thus ends Prices' take on medieval thought. With respect to other texts of the medieval period, Medieval Europe A Short History by C. Warren Hollister and Medieval Culture and Society edited by David Herlihy, such topics as Christianity, scholasticism, and vernacular languages/literature were addressed. Medieval Thought An Introduction does well to go into more detail concerning these topics and also helps the reader by providing alternate sources to assist them in their study of the period. Although the others have mentioned the above topics as well, they are not as well explained and in depth as Price has made his text to be. With that in mind this review then comes to its conclusion.In conclusion, Medieval Thought An Introduction, is exactly what it claims to be, an introduction for a reader who may or may not have any prior knowledge of the Middle Ages. The other books that it was related to did mention some of the same ideas but, as stated earlier, Price has gone far more in depth. It is an accurate description of the evolution of medieval thought, presented in a very clear manner which was easy to read. The only downside found, however, is that some major aspects were neglected, mainly Jewish, Arabic, and Christian Greek influences. These undoubtedly had an impact on thought in the Middle Ages, but Price does well to bring that to light by encouraging further analysis through more readings. In short, B.B. Price successfully achieves his objectives in creating an interesting and informative piece of historical literature.BibliographyHerlihy, David, ed., Medieval Culture and Society (New York, 1968).Hollister, C.
