The original contribution of medieval logic (the logica modernorum), like much of medieval philosophy, was a response to the recovery of Aristotle's works, including most of his logical treatises (the logica nova), during the 12th and early 13th centuries. The primary task of medieval philosophy was to find an accommodation between Aristotle's teachings and those of the church. Logic was the tool whereby that consistency was measured. This led to the development of theories of fallacy, of disputations, including obligational disputations, and of properties of terms, dominant theories of logic through to the Renaissance and beyond.
