The Letters of Peter Damian, 91-120

The letters of Peter Damian, written between 1062 and 1066, explore a range of subjects from historical insights to philosophical and theological discussions. Corresponding with figures from hermits to Pope Alexander II, Damian addresses various themes, including a significant letter on Divine Omnipotence to Abbot Desiderius. This volume highlights the theological debates of the time, particularly against contemporary rhetoricians, while Owen J. Blum's translation makes Damian's complex Latin accessible to a broad audience.
