Some more additions, perhaps:
One of the more helpful primary sources I have been led to is S.
Bonaventure, _De Reductione Artium ad Theologiam_, translation available
by Sister Emma Healy (St. Bonaventure, NY: Franciscan Institute, 1955).
Latin on verso, English facing.
Also, of course, S. Augustine, _De doctrina christiana_, translation
available by D.W. Robertson, Jr. (NY: Macmillan, 1958).
But modern commentary:
- G.R. Evans, _The Language and Logic of the Bible: The Earlier Middle
Ages_ (Cambridge University Press, 1984).
- G.R. Evans, _Philosophy and Theology in the Middle Ages_ (London:
Routledge, 1993).
- Maurice de Wulf, _An Introduction to Scholastic Philosophy_ (1903; New
Yor: Dover, 1956).
- Etienne Gilson, _The SPirit of Medieval Philosophy_ (NY: Scribners,
1936).
- Eva Feder Kittay,_Metaphor: Its Cognitive Force and Linguistic
Structure_ (Oxford at the Clarendon Press, 1987)
Applied theory:
- David Lyle Jeffrey, ed. _By Things Seen: Reference and Recognition in
Medieval Thought_ (University of Ottawa Press, 1979); includes a number of
excellent articles
and one which still stuns students of Chaucer:
- D.W. Robertson, Jr. _A Preface to Chaucer: Studeies in Medieval
Perspectives_ (Princeton University Press, 1962).
Of course, these are general studies, but the bibliographies contained
therein are extremely helpful, as are the notes. I hope this has been of
some use.
