Title; Editorial page; Title page; LCC data; Table of contents; Introduction: Situating the 'Modistae'; Chapter 1. 'Vox', articulation and porphyry; Chapter 2. Esse, intelligere, significare; Chapter 3. Noun and pronoun; Chapter 4. Verb and particle; Chapter 5. The indeclinable parts of speech; Chapter 6. Construction and syntax; Conclusion. Silvering the mirror of language; References; Index auctoritatum; Index rerum; Studies in the history of the language sciences.

Summary: Much is known about the grammar of the modistae and about its eclipse; this book sets out to trace its rise. In the late eleventh century grammar became an analytical rather than an exegetical discipline under the impetus of the new theology. Under the impetus of Arab learning the ancient sciences were reshaped according to the norms of Aristotle's Analytics, and developed within a structure of speculative sciences beginning with grammar and culminating in theology. Though the modistae acknowledge Aristotle, Donatus, Priscian and the Arab commentators, their roots also lie in Augustine and Boe.
