[PU: Kessinger Publishing], X, 150 p. Original softcover. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Overall very good and clean. - FOREWORD: It is a rare occasion that a dissertation written in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the doctorate passes into a second edition. That such reprint should be called for in the present instance is a tribute to the scholarship shown by the author in the treatise as well as an evidence of the outstanding importance of the subject. The history of the Seven Liberal Arts is a history of education or at least of organized school work during the Middle Ages. A history of the curriculum of modern schools could hardly fill this description, for the curriculum is but one aspect of the modern school. The content of the modern curriculum is most varied; it changes rapidly in respect to changing social conditions. But throughout the long centuries of the Middle Ages no new aspect of knowledge had to be filled in the established order of study— the Seven Liberal Arts. Even the Renaissance, with its vast enlargement of knowledge brought from the literature of classical learning, only resulted in the enrichment of the contents of the Seven Liberal Arts. To trace out this evolution from the corps of subjects prescribed during the Dark Ages by the schools of the monastaries and churches is a work of greatest importance to the students of education and of culture. Not only does this book describe the work of the schoolmen through several centuries, but it forms the basis for the vast enlargement of the subjects of study which in time call for the enlargement of every phase of school work. Such enlargement of knowledge followed the opening of the Renaissance, and made necessary the organization not only of the curriculum but of the very structure of the educational process. Philosophical thought then turned its attention to formulation of method, to stirring of educational aims and of educational results; but none of these would have been possible without the foundation laid through the work of many centuries under the guise of the study of the Seven Liberal Arts. To trace this development, as Dr. Abelson has done, is a great service to all students of the school work of this period. Little of this had been done in the English language since English is a modern language, whereas the language in which the Liberal Arts were embodied as well as studied had long since become a dead language, as the Liberal Arts themselves had become a dead curriculum. But while dead, it furnished the foundation for subsequent school work and furnished the necessary content of school work out of which in turn every aspect of modern education has developed. This work of Dr. Abelson is the first adequate study published in modern English of the traditional school and as such is invaluable to all modern students of the history of education.
