They also offer a detailed introduction to his philosophical works ( Metalogicon , Entheticus ), his political thought ( Policraticus ) and his writing of history ( Historia pontificalis ). Contributors include Julie Barrau, David Bloch, Karen Bollermann, Cédric Giraud, Christophe Grellard, Laure Hermand-Schebat, Frédérique Lachaud, Constant Mews, Clare Monagle, Cary Nederman, Ronald Pepin, Yves Sassier, and Sigbjørn Sønnesyn.
