EDITORS' PREFACE
This volume is presented to Professor Gordon Leff by several of his
any admirers in recognition of his exceptional contributions to the
history of medieval thought and religion during a scholarly career of
more than forty ycars. Gordon Leff, almost invariably known as Bunny
to his closest friends and colleagues since his undergraduate years at
Cambridge in the early 19s0s, would think it in the worst possible taste
to publicize his own remarkable achievements. But remarkable they
certainly been. With the appearance of his celebrated article on
The fourteenth century and the decline of Scholasticism' (Past and
Present, 1956) and of his Penguin survey of Medieval Thought: S
Augustine to Ockham two years later, the name of Gordon Leff
immediately became familiar among medievalists on both sides of
the Atlantic. At the same time his engagement with the deepest issue
in the philosophy of history, as well as the publication in 1961
The Tyranny of Concepts, put him in the forefront of fundamental
debates outside the confines of medieval thought and on both sidesof
the iron curtain. During the following decades his awe-inspiring
talents for the clucidation of theological, philosophical, and political
thought were applied in rapid succession to the work of many of the
most important figures in the history of medieval intellectual c
deavour, and in 1969 he turned again to another probing analysis of
history's epistemological problems in his History and Social Theory. The
ten substantial books and many articles written by Bunny Leff betwe
his first monograph, Bradwardine and the Pelagians, and his William of
Ockham: the Metamorphosis of Scholastic Discourse eighteen years later will
be a permanent memorial not only to his unique contribution to
scholarship and intellectual debate but also to a creative energy not
easily rivalled among English historians of his own or indeed any other
generation.
The two editors of this volume first came to know Bunny Leff only
after he had left the History Department of the University of
Manchester for the Department of History at the then new University
of York in 1965. One of us was a working colleague from his first
ing with Bunny, and the other was the latter's research student...… (mer)
