When Morton Bloomfield reviewed David Burr's The Persecution of Peter Olivi, he noted that Olivi's reputation, no matter how interpreted, has been too much estimated in terms of his association with the spiritualism of Joachim of Flora. To get a more balanced view, he contended, we need more study dealing with other aspects of Olivi's career. It is as a step in the fulfillment of this need that we present an edition of Olivi's Quaestiones logicales.
