A Few Loose Ends: Antiquity and the Middle Ages





I have left out some influential figures and their works, and am planning to get back to them later:






Late Classical:
Pliny the Younger—Letters (ca. 100 A.D.);
Plutarch—Symposiacs/Quaestiones Conviviales (Table Talk);
Epictetus—Encheiridion (Handbook, 2nd century A.D.);

Church Fathers:
Thomas Aquinas—Summa Theologica (page number: 1265-1272);
Clement of AlexandriaPaedagogus (Guide, 2nd-3rd century A.D.);
John Chrysostom—“Homilies on the Epistle to the Hebrews”;
Ambrose of Milan (4th century A.D.)—Concerning Virgins;

The Middle Ages:
Benedict of Nursia—Holy Rule (ca. 530 A.D.)
Regula Magistri (6th century A.D.)
St. Gregory—Regula Pastoralis (Pastoral Rule)

So end Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Charge forward to the Early Modern Period!
