Albert the Great - Man & Beasts: A Handy Companion...
As an Albertist for over ten years now, please do accept my judgement on this book where it may be found. As publisher of the only Complete Works of Albertus Magnus, I was delighted to read this translated summary from Albert's Opera Omnia. Amazon is offeringanother work, much fuller in scope on the De Animalibus of Albert, but Ihave not read it yet. Still, that is probably a very good offering as well(as Father Wallace O.P., the fine Dominican Scholar, guided Ken Kitchell,editing author of the newer work).

Product Description

Dating from the mid-thirteenth century, Albert the Great's monumental treatise on living things, their characteristics, and their place in the natural order stands as one of the most valuable contributions to the history of science, ranking in importance with the writings of Aristotle and Linnaeus. Yet until now--more than seven hundred years after his death--Albert's De Animalibus has never been completely translated from the original Latin.

Drawing on all available source materials, Kenneth F. Kitchell, Jr., and Irven Michael Resnick present the first complete, fully annotated English translation of this magisterial work. It is, as they explain, a summa in two senses of the word. First, it is a "summary,"a summation of all contemporary knowledge in a given field. Albert writes of human anatomy, reproductive theories, equine and canine veterinary medicine, folk remedies against household pests, cures for rabies and sterility, how to train a falcon, whether an ostrich will eat iron, and much, much more. At the same time, this work is a summa in that it is the epitome or highest expression of this sort of work. It represents the first passage to the Latin West of Aristotle's natural works. Yet it adds to the received text the vast knowledge Albert acquired in a lifetime of observing, testing, and recording. The result is unique, highly reflective of the period in which it was written, and remarkably forward looking.

The work is scholarly, to be sure, but it can also be highly entertaining, offering useful insights into medieval life not seen elsewhere. Whether Albert writes of his early experiences in falconry or relates what he learned in conversations with fisherman, soldiers, and craftsmen, we are drawn into a real, day-to-day world where the lure and lore of animals are of paramount importance. The subjects range from castrated, philandering priests who nonetheless manage to produce children to medical marvels and physiognomic trails. Do bats have legs and birds bladders? Can partridges really become impregnated via the wind? Why do children's teeth grow back, but those of adults do not? How do people pretend to wiggle their ears? Why are people occasionally produced with too many fingers, and what causes what today are called Siamese twins? Albert's interest in the world around him was truly universal and in this way, too, he is the Doctor Universalis.

Its good for fishes!
I can only comment on the material pertaining to aquatic animals in this translation. And my comments are limited as those of an ichthyologist who knows only a little Latin. It is a cliche but Magnus was a candle in the darkness of the Middle Ages. As such he deserves a modern English translation. Furthermore this is a scholarly annoted edition. The species allocations for Magnus animals have been systematically considered and whilst there will be alternative interpretations, the evidence for Drs Reznick and Kitchell's positions is always sound. This is an essential tome for anyone interested in the development of biological (especially ichthyological) thought in Europe. ... Read more

Chapters: Thomas More, Albertus Magnus, Thérèse of Lisieux, John Bosco, Petrus Canisius, Conrad of Parzham. Excerpt:Saint Albertus Magnus Saint Albertus Magnus , O.P. (1193/1206 November 15, 1280), also known as Saint Albert the Great and Albert of Cologne , was a Dominican friar and bishop who achieved fame for his comprehensive knowledge of and advocacy for the peaceful coexistence of science and religion . Those such as James A. Weisheipl and Joachim R. Söder have referred to him as the greatest German philosopher and theologian of the Middle Ages , an opinion supported by contemporaries such as Roger Bacon. He was the first among medieval scholars to apply Aristotle 's philosophy to Christian thought. The Catholic Church honors him as a Doctor of the Church , one of only 33 persons with that honor. Biography He was born sometime between 1193 and 1206, to the Count of Bollstädt in Lauingen in Bavaria . Contemporaries such as Roger Bacon applied the term "Magnus" to Albertus during his own lifetime, referring to his immense reputation as a scholar and philosopher. Albertus was educated principally at Padua , where he received instruction in Aristotle's writings. A late account by Rudolph de Novamagia refers to Albertus' encounter with the Blessed Virgin Mary , who convinced him to enter Holy Orders . In 1223 (or 1221) he became a member of the Dominican Order, against the wishes of his family, and studied theology at Bologna and elsewhere. Selected to fill the position of lecturer at Cologne, Germany, where the Dominicans had a house, he taught for several years there, at Regensburg , Freiburg , Strasbourg and Hildesheim . In 1245 he went to Paris , received his doctorate and taught for some time as a master of theology with great success. During this time Thomas Aquinas began to stud... ... Read more
