Treatise on Law: The Complete Text Paperback - 2009 - 1st Edition

Alfred J. Freddoso teaches philosophy at Notre Dame and is an outstanding translator of medieval Latin.

From reviews of previous translations by Alfred J. Freddoso:

Francisco Suarez, On Efficient Causality: Metaphysical Disputations 17, 18, and 19 (Yale University Press, 1994):
"Freddoso is medieval philosophy's best and most prolific translator. Here, as in his earlier works, the English is both clear and faithful to the original." - The Philosophical Review

William of Ockham, Quodlibetal Questions (with Francis Kelley) (Yale University Press, 1991):
"These volumes are the first in the Yale Library of Medieval Philosophy. . . . It is an auspicious beginning." - The Philosophical Review

"[This serves] to indicate the brilliance of the translators at understanding the intricacies and subtleties of medieval scholastic Latin, and their sensitivity to modern readers' needs and problems." - The Thomist

"The translation is excellent." - Manuscripta

Luis de Molina, On Divine Foreknowledge: Part IV of the Concordia (Cornell University Press, 1988):
"To refer to this volume as Freddoso's 'translation' of Molina is correct but woefully inadequate." - Faith and Philosophy

"Freddoso's translation and introduction are, quite simply, splendid pieces of work." - International Philosophical Quarterly

Ockham's Theory of Propositions: Part II of the Summa Logicae (with Henry Schuurman) (Notre Dame Press, 1980; reprinted St. Augustine's, 1998):
"Well executed . . . a superb effort, worthy of the attention not only of historians but also of anyone seriously interested in philosophical semantics." - Philosophical Review

Francisco Suarez, s.j., On Creation, Conservation, and Concurrence: Metaphysical Disputations 20, 21, and 22 (St. Augustine's Press, 2002)
"Freddoso is a first-rate translator of this material, and his rendering manages to be both literal and elegant."- Journal of Theological Studies

"Freddoso is extraordinarily careful here (as in other translations) to make the text as clear as possible to non-Latin readers. . . . The translation itself is close, accurate, and concise." - Theological Studies
