  • Trans. Greek Thot Handout
    11/14/19 TRANSMISSION OF GREEK THOUGHT TO THE WEST PLATO & NEOPLATONISM Chalcidius (late 3rd-early 4th cent. Christian exegete): incomplete translation & commentary of Timeaus Henricus Aristippus in Sicily (12th c.): translated the Meno and Phaedo Leonardo Bruni (c. 1370-1444/Florence) translated a selection of Plato’s dialogues (from Greek to Latin). Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499/Florence): 1st complete translation into Latin of Plato’s works (publ. 1496), and translation of Plotinus’s Enneads into Latin (1492). Neoplatonic thought was transmitted in the following: (a) Boethius’ Consolation of Philosophy (written 524, in prison) (b) Macrobius’ Commentary on Cicero’s Dream of Scipio (written c. 400 CE). (c) Pseudo-Dionysius. A collection of writings attributed to Dionysius the Aeropagite (see Acts 17:34), but 19th century scholarship determined to be written c. 500 by a disciple of Proclus, held considerable authority throughout the middle ages and was a Christian Neoplatonism. (d) Theologica Aristotelis: this summary of Books 4-6 of Plotinus’s Enneads had been wrongly attributed to Aristotle (until 13th century) (e) Liber de Causis: this work based on Proclus’s Elements of Theology was wrongly attributed to Aristotle (until 13th century). ARISTOTLE Victorinus (4th century): Latin translations of Aristotle’s Categories and De interpretatione, as well as of Porphyry’s Isagoge. Boethius (470-524/Padua?): translated the entire Organon and wrote commentaries on all but the Posterior Analytics), as well as a translation of Porphyry’s introduction (Isagoge) to the Categories, but only De Interp. and Categories were readily available until 12th century. James of Venice (c.1128): translated Posterior Analytics; with the rediscovery of other translations by Boethius, this completed the Organon.

  • Latin Averroes Translations of the First Half of the Thirteenth Century
    D.N. Hasse 1 Latin Averroes Translations of the First Half of the Thirteenth Century Dag Nikolaus Hasse (Würzburg)1 Palermo is a particularly appropriate place for delivering a paper about Latin translations of Averroes in the first half of the thirteenth century. Michael Scot and William of Luna, two of the translators, were associated with the court of the Hohenstaufen in Sicily and Southern Italy. Michael Scot moved to Italy around 1220. He was coming from Toledo, where he had already translated at least two major works from Arabic: the astronomy of al-BitrÚºÍ and the 19 books on animals by Aristotle. In Italy, he dedicated the translation of Avicenna’s book on animals to Frederick II Hohenstaufen, and he mentions that two books of his own were commissioned by Frederick: the Liber introductorius and the commentary on the Sphere of Sacrobosco. He refers to himself as astrologus Frederici. His Averroes translation, however, the Long Commentary on De caelo, is dedicated to the French cleric Étienne de Provins, who had close ties to the papal court. It is important to remember that Michael Scot himself, the canon of the cathedral of Toledo, was not only associated with the Hohenstaufen, but also with the papal court.2 William of Luna, the other translator, was working apud Neapolim, in the area of Naples. It seems likely that William of Luna was associated to Manfred of Hohenstaufen, ruler of Sicily.3 Sicily therefore is a good place for an attempt to say something new about Michael Scot and William of Luna. In this artic le, I shall try to do this by studying particles: small words used by translators.

  • 206 Marsha Keith Schuchard. Restoring the Temple of Vision: Cabalistic Freemasonry and Stuart Culture. Leiden: E. J. Brill, 2
    206 SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY NEWS Marsha Keith Schuchard. Restoring the Temple of Vision: Cabalistic Freemasonry and Stuart Culture. Leiden: E. J. Brill, 2002. Studies in Intellectual History, vol. 110. xiii + 845 pp. $281. Review by DONALD R. DICKSON, TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY. Restoring the Temple of Vision paints a fascinating sketch of the early history of Freemasonry that flourished in lodges in the eigh- teenth and nineteenth centuries by tracing its roots to medieval Jewish sources and Scottish sources of the sixteenth and seven- teenth centuries. Schuchard details “the flights of visionary Temple building” that are described in the rituals and symbolism of “high- degree” Masonry to various architectural and religious documents. Academic historians have shied away from this subject–with the exception of David Stevenson’s The Origins of Freemasonry: Scotland’s Century, 1590-1710 (Cambridge, 1988)–because there are so few facts. Masonic histories are plentiful but these are seldom taken seriously since they can offer little in the way of credible, textual evidence to buttress most of their claims. Such is the case here. Schuchard, in a manner reminiscent of Dame Frances Yates, does an able job of stitching together a readable and often highly detailed story (the text runs to nearly 800 pages); finally, though, Restoring the Temple of Vision must be accounted as a possible rep- resentation–rather than a definitive one–due to the lack of hard evidence. The reach of Restoring the Temple of Vision is impressive, for Schuchard begins her story, as most Masonic versions do, with the legends surrounding the building of the temples in ancient Israel, beginning with Solomon’s master-mason, Hiram Abif, continuing through the founding of Jewish building guilds led by priest-ma- sons overseeing the renovation of the Herodian temple that was destroyed in A.D.

  • Michael Scot's Translation of Aristotle's Books On
    Michael Scot’s Translation of Aristotle’s Books on Animals and the Pleasures of Knowledge Aafke M.I. van Oppenraay, Huygens ING, The Hague Abstract Michael Scot’s thirteenth-century Arabic-Latin translation of Aristotle’s zoological works strongly influenced the medieval reception of these books. Whereas Scot’s translation was mostly scientific, a growing public was offered the opportunity to experience the pleasures of this kind of knowledge in general. Keywords Aristotle, Michael Scot, Arabic-Latin translation, Arabic manuscripts, Latin manuscripts, medieval reception of zoology, manuscript illustrators We can safely assume that humanity has had a close connection with nature since its inception and that human beings have always been observing animals and plants, rocks and other matter with admiration and fascination. Proof of this can generally be found in the field of archaeology, but for this paper, which is concerned with the pleasures of zoological knowledge in the Middle Ages1, we will begin our study of animals in the Book of Genesis (I, 20-31)2, which describes how God created the animals as gems to the earth for the use and benefit of mankind and how Adam provided these creations with suitable names. This frame of mind had a considerable influence on medieval scholars and scientists and their ideas about the roles of human beings and animals in society. They came to realize that animals could be used in more than a purely material manner – as beasts of burden or riding animals, for surveillance or hunting or as a mere source providing food, clothing or medicine. They learned that animals could also perform a spiritual function, with their characteristics mirroring or symbolizing human nature and individual human behaviour.

  • Islamic Technology : a Reciprocal Exchange Between the East and the West
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 2 No. 3; February 2012 ISLAMIC TECHNOLOGY: AN APPRISIAL ON THE RECIPROCAL EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE EAST AND THE WEST Khawaja Muhammad Saeed (Ph.D) Department of Philosophy University of the Punjab Lahore, Pakistan Abstract I submit that I fully know and accept the scientific contributions and innovations made by non-Muslims through the various phases of human civilizational development. But since my focus in the article is to highlight scientific contributions and Philosophical ideas introduced within the Islamic world, I only projected them in detail. As a Philosopher I am fully cognizant that knowledge, science and academic scholarship in human venture in which people of all religions orientations have played their parts. Introduction Scientific and technological developments are the main criteria of a developed nation. It is believed that only the West is capable of making such credit and achievement. Indeed, progress /development are not exclusive to a particular nation and region which may inherit it to succeeding generations. Progress depends largely on acquisition and one who wills so and makes endeavor in this direction is bound to be rewarded with progress. Hence, it will not be considered as the legacy of a particular group or region. Moreover, the structure of modern science and technology, however impressive it might appear today, is based largely on the achievements made by Muslim masters in the past. In the Qur‟an There are 756 verses emphasize on empirical observation on natural phenomenon for example. “It is He Who sends down water from the sky from which We bring forth growth of every kind, and from that We bring forth the green shoots and from them We bring forth close-packed seeds, and from the spathes of the date palm date clusters hanging down, and gardens of grapes and olives and pomegranates, both similar and dissimilar.
