- Double-weighted statement
- The argument of this 93k word book rests upon detailed and multi-layered analysis of a substantial body of highly complex material in Latin sources. The meaning of any one passage required investigation of biblical, classical, patristic and medieval sources. Identifying significant passages meant reading large parts of long and difficult theological works. The argument that animals were analytical tools used to generate knowledge of human nature, God and the whole of creation necessitated engagement with medieval discussion of a wide range of philosophical and theological issues. The book was the product of a decade’s sustained and technically challenging research effort.
