Summary
Relation. Correlation. Relative. Relativity. It is hard to imagine our day-to-day or scientific discourse without this basic Latinate terminology. Based on extensive manuscript research and text-critical work, this monograph tells the story of how it entered the Western lexicon and offers a trailblazing history of early medieval theories of relations.
