The Middle Ages! They seem so far away; intellectually so preposterous, spiritually so strange. Bits of them may touch our sympathy, please our taste; their window-glass, their sculpture, certain of their stories, their romances,—as if those straitened ages really were the time of romance, which they were not, God knows, in the sense commonly taken. Yet perhaps they were such intellectually, or at least spiritually. Their terra—not for them incognita, though full of mystery and pall and vaguer glory—was not the earth. It was the land of metaphysical construction and the land of spiritual passion. There lay their romance, thither pointed their veriest thinking, thither drew their utter yearning. Is it possible that the Middle Ages should speak to us, as through a common humanity? Their mask is by no means dumb: in full voice speaks the noble beauty of Chartres Cathedral. Such mediaeval product, we hope, is of the universal human, and therefore of us as well as of the bygone craftsmen. Why it moves us, we are not certain, being ignorant, perhaps, of the building’s formative and earnestly intended meaning. Do we care to get at that? There is no way save by entering the mediaeval depths, penetrating to the rationale of the Middle Ages, learning the doctrinale, or emotionale, of the modes in which they still present themselves so persuasively. But if the pageant of those centuries charm our eyes with forms that seem so full of meaning, why should we stand indifferent to the harnessed processes of mediaeval thinking and the passion surging through the thought? Thought marshalled the great mediaeval procession, which moved to measures of pulsating and glorifying emotion. Shall we not press on, through knowledge, and search out its efficient causes, so that we too may feel the reality of the mediaeval argumentation, with the possible validity of mediaeval conclusions, and tread those channels of mediaeval passion which were cleared and deepened by the thought? This would be to reach human comradeship with mediaeval motives, no longer found too remote for our sympathy, or too fantastic or shallow for our understanding. But where is the path through these footless mazes? Obviously, if we would attain, perhaps, no unified, but at least an orderly presentation of mediaeval intellectual and emotional development, we must avoid entanglements with manifold and not always relevant detail. We must not drift too far with studies of daily life, habits and dress, wars and raiding, crimes and brutalities, or trade and craft and agriculture. Nor will it be wise to keep too close to theology or within the lines of growth of secular and ecclesiastical institutions. Let the student be mindful of his purpose (which is my purpose in this book) to follow through the Middle Ages the development of intellectual energy and the growth of emotion. Holding this end in view, we, students all, shall not stray from our quest after those human qualities which impelled the strivings of mediaeval men and women, informed their imaginations, and moved them to love and tears and pity. The plan and method by which I have endeavoured to realize this purpose in my book may be gathered from the Table of Contents and the First Chapter, which is introductory. These will obviate the need of sketching here the order of presentation of the successive or co-ordinated topics forming the subject-matter. Yet one word as to the standpoint from which the book is written. An historian explains by the standards and limitations of the times to which his people belong. He judges—for he must also judge—by his own best wisdom. His sympathy cannot but reach out to those who lived up to their best understanding of life; for who can do more? Yet woe unto that man whose mind is closed, whose standards are material and base.

Henry Osborn Taylor's "The Mediaeval Mind" (Volumes 1 & 2) offers an exhaustive and insightful examination of the intellectual landscape of the Middle Ages, unearthing the intricate web of beliefs, philosophies, and societal norms that shaped medieval thought. Taylor employs a methodical narrative style that blends historical analysis with philosophical inquiry, making this work a foundational text in medieval studies. The volumes encapsulate the period's overarching themes—from religious fervor to the emergence of early scientific thought—within a rich literary context that is as complex as it is enlightening. Taylor's copious references to primary sources and texts contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the era's mindset. Henry Osborn Taylor, a prominent scholar of his time, possessed a profound interest in the evolution of Western thought, which undoubtedly informed his decision to undertake this ambitious project. His academic career, characterized by a commitment to historical accuracy and interpretive clarity, provided him with the tools necessary to navigate the sometimes murky waters of medieval ideology. This background, coupled with his engagement in a rapidly changing intellectual climate, prompted him to investigate how the medieval mind interacted with the emerging modern world. This seminal work is highly recommended for anyone seeking a deeper appreciation for the complexities of medieval life and thought. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find Taylor's insights invaluable as they forge connections between past and present. In an age where historical context is crucial for understanding contemporary issues, "The Mediaeval Mind" remains an essential addition to any library.
