Description: This book studies medieval theories of angelology insofar as they made groundbreaking contributions to medieval philosophy. It centers on the period from Bonaventure to Ockham while also discussing some original positions by earlier thinkers.

"The fine essays in this volume provide not only a fascinating account of medieval angelology in its more philosophical aspects but engage in philosophical reflection on the various problems chosen for study in ways that can be important for contemporary philosophical insights every bit as much as during the medieval period."
