Alberto Magno - Libri Sententiarum - 1651

[ translate ]

Grande in Folio of the First Edition of this work, in which the Doctor Universalis, learned Philosopher and Humanist analyzes the Books of Sentences (Libri Sententiarum or Sententiae) , the theological treatise written by Pietro Lombardo in the twelfth century. A systematic collection of theology, composed around 1150; the name derives from the sententiae or authoritative statements on the biblical passages that the work has brought together. According to the chronology of Pelster, Albert the Great composed the Summa de creaturis and the commentary on the Sententiae by Pier Lombardo in the period of his youth, while in his maturity (1256-1270) he paraphrased and exhibited the works of Aristotle (Organon, Physica, De Coelo, De Meteoris, De Mineralibus, De Anima, De Sensu et sensato, De Memoria et reminiscentia, De Intellectu et intelligibili, De Vegetabilibus, Metaphysica, etc.) ; after 1270 he would have written the De Unitate intellectus, the De Animalibus (of which the De Natura etigine animae was originally supposed to be part) and the Summa theologiae. Fifteenth volume of the Opera Omnia by Alberto Magno. Large full leather binding with 5-ribbed spine with gold titles and gilded fleurons in the chests. Cold engraved plates: concentric frames with floral decorations traces of wear. Crisp interior with clear pages and brilliant inks. Frontispiece two-tone red and black, stamp of possession, Animated publishing brand with the motto: "Alium Haec Concordia Monstrat Amorem" Complete with all Pp pages. (2) ; (24) ; 390; (16) ; 419; (23) ; fol. Deeply versed as he was in theology he declared: "In studying nature we must not investigate how God the Creator can use his creatures to perform miracles and manifest his power: we must rather investigate how Nature with its immanent causes can exist. " "Are there many worlds or is there only one world? This is one of the noblest and most visionary questions in the study of Nature. " Albertus Magnus Albert the Great was known for his contributions to philosophy and natural sciences such as mathematics, astronomy and metaphysics. His work represents the totality of 13th century European knowledge, particularly in the combination of Aristotelian knowledge with Christian doctrine. This edition of 1651 in Lyon was edited by Pierre Jammy, the best known scholar and exegete of Albert the Great. Albert the Great of Bollstädt, known as Doctor Universalis, also known as Albert the Great or Albert of Cologne (Lauingen, 1206 - Cologne, 1280) , German writer and philosopher. He is considered the greatest German philosopher of the Middle Ages both for his great erudition and for his commitment to keeping the philosophical sphere distinct from the theological one. Among the disciplines of which he was an acclaimed scholar: logic, physics, astronomy, biology, mineralogy, chemistry, as well as philosophical disciplines. He allowed the West, as did Severino Boethius and Giacomo da Venezia, to penetrate Aristotle's texts. He was also the teacher of Thomas Aquinas. The Catholic Church venerates him as the patron saint of scientists and doctor of the Church.
