Book excerpt: When the writing in the margins is compared with the outlook of Ruotger, these margins begin to seem drawn into the centre of Cologne thinking." "Henry Mayr-Harting shows up the strand of Platonism in tenth-century intellectual history, a history still too little known. He asks how distinctive Cologne was, compared with other intellectual centres. The book also contains a critical edition of probably the earliest surviving set of glosses, hitherto unpublished, to Boethius's Arithmetic, with an extensive study of their contents."--BOOK JACKET.
