Abstract
What follows is a preliminary sortie into the largely untouched field of doubt in twelfth-century Europe. That the word ‘doubt’ in English is ambiguous soon became clear when I had to keep explaining that my study was not intended simply as a chapter in the history of philosophical scepticism or as an investigation of medieval atheism, but was to encompass uncertainty in all its forms. Obviously if there were problems about the meaning of doubt in English, identifying doubt in twelfth-century Latin texts would not be straightforward. This paper tests the correspondence between our current ideas on doubt and their expression in English, and doubt in twelfth-century contexts. Examination of the lexicography and syntax of doubt found in a variety of twelfth-century Latin writings not only enabled me to identify a rich array of doubt-words but to suggest an explanation for their underlying ambiguity and to determine the methods by which it was countered. Analysis of the words and images expressing doubt in these passages also provides a preliminary indication of medieval attitudes towards doubt.
