This edition of Giraldus Odonis' Logica for the first time gives access to an important and original treatise, which has unduly been neglected since the author's death. It is also important in that it gives evidence of interesting achievements in the field of logic outside the anti-metaphysical circle surrounding Ockham.

This volume contains the first critical edition of the Logica written by Giraldus Odonis, a 14th century anti-occamist Franciscan master, who was minister general of the Order (1329-42) and died of the plague in 1349, as patriarch of Antioch. He is mainly known as the author of an influential commentary on Aristotle's Ethics (Venice, 1500). Despite the fact that the well-known medievalist Dr. Anneliese Maier regarded him as 'one of the most original and most courageous philosophers of the 14th century', most of his other works are still unedited.
The three parts of Girald's Logica demonstrate his original approach to common logical and metaphysical doctrines. The third tract, on demonstrative argument, is of singular importance. Throughout his Logica, Girald's view on the relationship between logico-semantics and metaphysics come to the fore.

L.M. de Rijk, Ph.D. (1952) in Philosophy, University of Utrecht, was born in 1924. He is Emeritus Professor of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy at the University of Leiden, and Honorary Professor at the University of Maastricht. He is the author of a large number of publications on ancient and medieval philosophy, including Abailard's Dialectica (1956), a work on terminist logic, Logica Modernorum (1962-1967), Peter of Spain's Summule logicales (1972), La philosophie au moyen âge (Brill, 1985), and The Letters of Nicholas of Autrecourt (Brill, 1994).
