La Transmission des Textes Philosophiques et Scientifiques au Moyen Age
by Marie-Therese D'Alverny
Published 20 October 1994
Marie-Therese d'Alverny devoted a large part of her research to discovering and describing manuscripts of scientific texts, especially those translated from Arabic. This volume contains those of d'Alverny's studies devoted to the Latin transmission of the works of other Greek and Arabic authors (Aristotle, Galen, Priscianus Lydus, al-Kindi, Albumasar, Algazel and Averroes), the authors responsible for this transmission (Scotus Eriugena, Raymond of Marseilles, Petrus Hispanus, Henri Bate of Malines and Pietro d'Abano), and some of the themes of the transmitted texts (astrology and the planetary system of Herclides), as well as three articles summarizing the whole transmission process.

This work on medieval theological thought in the West deals primarily with the ideas of Alain de Lille (on the misery of man, on his sermons, and his thoughts on Islam). It goes on to look at other theologians, including Humbertus de Balesma and Pierre de Roissy. Various texts are also examined.
