From the jacket: ". . . shows how the medieval language of mental discourse derived from an understanding of classical thought, primarily Aristotelian, but also Platonic, Ciceronian, and Augustinian . . . This language provided the framework within which Renaissance attitudes toward artistic invention, judgment, and expression were articulated . . . This authoritative study will decisively influence the understanding not only of Renaissance art theory, but of the development of the entire Western aesthetic tradition."
