Between 1100 and 1500, scholastic philosophers produced approximately 95 commentaries on Aristotle's Topics and Boethius' De Differentis Topicis, which significantly shaped medieval logic. These works delve into the concept of a locus (topos) and its role in various inference forms recognized by medieval logicians, including categorical and hypothetical syllogisms, enthymemes, and the modus ponens and modus tollens. Boethius introduced the concept of the maxim, influencing subsequent authors. The commentaries and medieval logic manuals by figures such as Abelard, Albert the Great, William of Sherwood, Ockham, and Buridan engage with critical debates in dialectic, argumentation theory, axiomatics, formalism, universals, modal logic, and the distinctions between object- and meta-language, inventio and iudicium, and first and second intentions. This volume focuses on the philosophy of logic, offering a comprehensive and original examination of a vital logical tradition. It includes a catalogue of existing commentaries and an appendix of previously unpublished texts, making it valuable for philosophers, logicians, linguists, theologians, historians, and researchers in medieval studies.
