Summary
"This book brings together, in a modern English translation, a selection of relevant medieval texts that are determined by wisdom. Mostly hidden in a literary framework, the messages contained in these excerpts prove to be highly valuable for all people throughout time, addressing ethical, moral, and religious values and ideals. Critical discussions of the meaning of wisdom frame the text anthology."--Page [4] of cover.
