A fantastic sourcebook for Scholars of Medieval Philosophy

This is quite simply one of the best sourcebooks for Medieval Philosophy in existence. I am amazed at the inclusiveness of the work (focusing on all three major religions in Medieval Europe, instead of simply Christianity) and the fantastic translations. This book is a must-have for any scholar of Medieval Philosophy, but it is probably not for beginners, as the translations tend to be for scholarly use rather than for enjoyment.
