The Medieval Aristotle, Gebunden

Klappentext

Inside view of fifty years of the Aristoteles Latinus project, a cornerstone of the study of medieval intellectual history.

For fifty years, the Aristoteles Latinus project has studied how our understanding of how Aristotle entered the Latin Middle Ages. Based in Leuven and rooted in early twentieth-century international collaboration, the Aristoteles Latinus project has traced the complex paths by which Aristotle's works were translated, read, and transmitted in medieval times. This volume brings together studies first presented at a conference marking the fiftieth anniversary of the project and offers leading international scholars' perspectives on the project's ongoing work, ranging from manuscript traditions, philology and translation to natural philosophy, logic, metaphysics, and the study of medieval manuscripts. Together, the contributions show how deeply Aristotelian thought permeated medieval intellectual culture and highlight the continued vitality and range of current research on Aristoteles Latinus. Written with clarity and accessibility, the book will be of interest to historians of philosophy, medievalists, and philologists and anyone curious about medieval intellectual life.
