Paul Thom’s book presents Kilwardby’s science of logic as a body of demonstrative knowledge about inferences and their validity, about the semantics of non-modal and modal propositions, and about the logic of genus and species. This science is thoroughly intensional. It grounds the logic of inference on that in virtue of which the inference holds. It bases the truth conditions of propositions on relations between conceptual entities. It explains the logic of genus and species through the notion of essence. Thom interprets this science as a formal logic of intensions with its own proof theory and semantics. This comprehensive reconstruction of Kilwardby’s logic shows the medieval master to be one of the most interesting logicians of the thirteenth century.

Das hier in neuer Auflage vorgelegte Repertorium soll dazu dienen, zwei Grundproblemen der mediävistischen Forschung zu beheben: Diese Epoche des Denkens war von gewaltiger Produktivität gekennzeichnet, deren Überlieferung in vielfältiger Weise mit Schwierigkeiten behaftet ist. Die Überlieferung ist nicht nur in hohen Maße eine handschriftliche, sondern auch äußerst lückenhaft und von vielen Wissensverlusten, etwa bezüglich der Autorschaft, betroffen. Da seit dem 19. Jahrhundert viele der Texte nur in Auszügen ediert worden sind, finden sich Teiltexte aus demselben Werk oft an vielen Orten. Dieser Unübersichtlichkeit versucht das Repertorium Abhilfe zu schaffen. Die aufgenommenen bibliographischen Angaben sind gegenüber der ersten Auflage erheblich erweitert: die neue Auflage erfasst jetzt nahezu 40.000 Editionen von über 2.300 Autoren. Nach systematischen Gesichtspunkten geordnet sind zusätzlich weit über 1000 anonyme Texte berücksichtigt worden. Dabei sind bei Autoren, deren Werk in einer Gesamtausgabe publiziert worden ist, regelrechte Konkordanzen entstanden. Ebenso wie bereits bei der ersten Auflage wurden auch ein- oder zweisprachige Übersetzungsausgaben berücksichtigt. Zur leichteren Identifizierbarkeit sind die Autoren mit einigen biographischen Angaben versehen. Der Benutzer findet bei nahezu jedem Autor eine Liste aller Werke, die ganz oder in Auszügen ediert worden sind. Mehrere Indices - Autoren, Editoren und Übersetzer, Incipits, Manuskripte, Kommentare - erschließen das Nachschlagewerk.

The book focuses on Abraham Abulafia's esoteric thought in relation to Maimonides, Maimonideans, and Islamic thought in the line of Leo Strauss' theory of the history of philosophy. The book surveys Abulafia's sources and concentrates on the esoteric meaning on the famous parable of the three rings, as well as Abulafia's universalistic understanding of the nature of the Bible, the Hebrew language, the people of Israel or the Sinatic revelation. This book focuses on Abraham Abulafia's esoteric thought in relation to Maimonides, Maimonideans, and Islamic thought in the line of Leo Strauss' theory of the history of philosophy. A survey of Abulafia's sources leads into an analysis of the esoteric meaning on the famous parable of the three rings, considering also the possible connection between this parable, which Abdulafia inserted into a book dedicated to his student, the 13th century rabbi Nathan the wise, and the Lessing's Play "Nathan the Wise." The book also examines Abulafia's universalistic understanding of the nature of the Bible, the Hebrew language, and the people of Israel (or the Sinaic revelation). The universal aspects of Abulafia’s thought have been put in relief against the more widespread Kabbalistic views which are predominantly particularistic. A number of texts have also been identified here for the first time as authored by Abulafia.

Few philosophical books have been so influential in the development of Western thought as Aristotle’s Metaphysics . For centuries Aristotle’s most celebrated work has been regarded as a source of inspiration as well as the starting point for every investigation into the structure of reality. Not surprisingly, the topics discussed in the book – the scientific status of ontology and metaphysics, the foundations of logical truths, the notions of essence and existence, the nature of material objects and their properties, the status of mathematical entities, just to mention some – are still at the centre of the current philosophical debate and are likely to excite philosophical minds for many years to come. This volume reconstructs in fourteen chapters a particular phase in the long history of the Metaphysics by focusing on the medieval reception of Aristotle’s masterpiece, specifically from its introduction in the Latin West in the twelfth through fifteenth centuries. Contributors include: Marta Borgo, Matteo di Giovanni, Amos Bertolacci, Silvia Donati, Gabriele Galluzzo, Alessandro D. Conti, Sten Ebbesen, Fabrizio Amerini, Giorgio Pini, Roberto Lambertini, William O. Duba, Femke J. Kok, and Paul J.J.M. Bakker.
