Our exceptional discovery of over 70 unpublished Latin commentaries mainly on the Book of Causes, but also on the Elements of Theology, prove, for the first time, that the two texts were widely disseminated and commented on throughout many European universities (Paris, Oxford, Erfurt, Krakow, Prague), from the 13th to the 16th century. These two volumes provide 14 editions (partial or complete) of the newly discovered commentaries, and yield, through historical and philosophical analyses, new and essential insights into the influence of Greek and Islamic Neoplatonism in the Latin philosophical traditions.<\/p>\n<p>Series: Studia Artistarum 42.1-2<br \/>\n2 vol., 983 p., 156 x 234 mm, 2016, PB, ISBN 978-2-503-55474-7, \u20ac 100<\/p>\n<p>Table of Contents<\/p>\n<p>D.
