Mental language was no twentieth-century philosophical invention, and Claude Panaccio's book, <em>Mental Language: From Plato to William of Ockham</em>, first published in French in 1999, remains the best guide to the many theories that were formulated in antiquity and the Middle Ages. There is no more complete or authoritative work on the subject. The book is philosophically astute and sophisticated, but eminently readable. A postscript brings the work completely up to date, with an exhaustive discussion of the copious literature that has appeared on the topic in the past fifteen years. -Richard Cross, University of Notre Dame
