medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hi George,

I excerpt this from “The Electronic Grosseteste,”a web site of all things Grosseteste (his works and works about him) maintained by Joe Goering, et al., all of whom research him.

 

“The most recent biography is R.W. Southern, Robert Grosseteste: The Growth of an English Mind in Medieval Europe (Oxford, 1986), but F. Stevenson, Robert Grosseteste Bishop of Lincoln (London, 1899) is still of some use. The collection of essays in Robert Grosseteste, Scholar and Bishop, ed. D. Callus (Oxford, 1955) remains essential reading. See also the recent studies in Robert Grosseteste: New Perspectives in his Thought and Scholarship, ed. J. McEvoy (Turnhout, 1995). Also relevant is J. McEvoy, The Philosophy of Robert Grosseteste (Oxford, 1982) and S. Marrone, William of Auvergne and Robert Grosseteste (Princeton, 1983).”

Your spell checker beats mine, which once wanted to change "Boethius" to "bath house."


Best,

John

I would be grateful to learn of a recent scholarly -- even brief or envyclopedic -- biographical sketch or study of Robert Grosseteste.

Thank you for your advice.

Best wishes, George

PS My auto-correct tried to change the gentleman's name to 'Gross Eyesore'.
