Logik und Theologie: Das Organon im arabischen und lateinischen Mittelalter

Logik und Theologie: Das Organon im arabischen und lateinischen Mittelalter Book Reviews 109 into greater depth than Peeters’ work, giving a concise biography of the 471 saints listed (virtually all male), often recounting intriguing and droll episodes, and a list of sources for the saint’s life. He never hesitated to point out when a detail or even an entry on the life of a saint was pure invention. The volume is graced with a very sympathetic biography of Pe`re Fiey by the editor and also an account of the long process of assembling the text in an orderly fashion. It also contains a very concise ‘‘Introduction’’ by the author on how the entries are constructed and the criteria for the inclusion of the holy figures listed: for instance, saints who are recognised by the universal Church or figures from the New Testament (e.g., the Apostles) are omitted, even if they are components of various Syriac calendars of saints. Lawrence Conrad is to be complimented for the great care he has taken in checking and rechecking the mass of data that makes up this useful and fascinating volume, at times written almost in the style of Pere Fiey’s close friend Agatha Christie.
