Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The Metalogicon, completed in 1159, is recognized as a milestone in the history of educational theory. Undertaken to defend the thorough study of the Trivium against attack at the hands of those who wished less attention accorded to grammar, logic, and rhetoric, it is a treasure of information about twelfth-century pedagogy as well as an enduring classic in its own right. John of Salisbury, a leading medieval scholar, summarizes the essential lineaments of existing twelfth-century education and affords glimpses of contemporaries such as Peter Abelard, Gilbert de la Porree, and Theirry of Chartres. The present translation is the first to appear in any modern language.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51039461441809,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51039464653073,"sku":"NIN9781614277811","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51728118382865,"sku":"CIN1614277818VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51847176847633,"sku":"CIN1614277818G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1614277818.jpg?v=1750992559"},{"product_id":"historia-pontificalis-book-john-of-salisbury-9780198222750","title":"The Historia Pontificalis","description":"Edited and translated by: Chibnall, Marjorie;","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51211574247697,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51211576639761,"sku":"NIN9780198222750","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52403368034577,"sku":"NLS9780198222750","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0198222750.jpg?v=1751227788"},{"product_id":"letters-of-john-of-salisbury-volume-i-the-early-letters-1153-1161-book-john-of-salisbury-9780198222392","title":"The Letters of John of Salisbury: Volume I: The Early Letters (1153-1161)","description":"Edited with a facing-page translation from the Latin text by: Butler, H.
