Here’s my annual list of books in medieval philosophy from the previous year, in completely random order except that the list begins with a few 2016 books that didn’t make last year’s list. The usual apologies for books that got overlooked, coupled with the usual invitation to let me know about new books or ones that I missed. Special thanks to Martin Eyestone here at CU Boulder for a lot of help with this. Help also came from the latest of Thérèse-Anne Druart’s fabulous bibliographical guides to Islamic material.
