The article presents information about two volumes of the book titled, Mediaeval Culture, written by Karl Vossler. The chain of German vulgarizations during the past two decades illustrates, in contrast to more recent American examples, one other way of making culture easily accessible. Dr. Tossler's book is one of the works of digested erudition, acquired from reading large numbers of doctoral and inaugural dissertations, intended to keep the general reader abreast with the changing learned conception of things in general.
