Bianchi, Luca, ed. Christian readings of Aristotle from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Turnhout: Brepols, 2011, 442pp., sewn PAPERBACK, very good, TEXTS IN FRENCH, ENGLISH, ITALIAN, and LATIN. Studia artistarum, 29. Widely recognized as one of the main characteristics of Latin Aristotelianism, the 'Christianisation' of Aristotle from the thirteenth to the seventeenth century has received as yet little attention. Aiming to answer the need for a more systematic investigation, the articles here collected approach Christian readings of the Stagirite's works from different perspectives. Setting aside abstract discussions about degrees of orthodoxy, they address a few specific questions: which images of Aristotle were offered by Medieval and Renaissance interpreters, and in particular how did some of them argue that - far from being a pagan or even an impious thinker - he did not contradict the truths revealed by Holy Scripture? - CONTENTS: Aristotele e l'empireo / Gianfranco Fioravanti -- Ruggero Bacone e l' "Aristotele" del Secretum secretorum / Chiara Crisciani -- Sauver le dieu du philosophe : Albert le Grand, Thomas d'Aquin, Guillaume de Moerbeke et l'invention du Liber de bona fortuna comme alternative autorisée à l'interprétation averroïste de la théorie aristotélicienne de la providence divine / Valérie Cordonier -- Du bon usage des grecs et des arabes : réflexions sur la censure de 1277 / Dragos Calma -- The chicken and the egg (suppositis fundamentis philosophi) : Henry of Ghent, Siger of Brabant and the eternity of species / Pasquale Porro -- Autour de deux commentaires inédits sur l'Éthique à Nicomaque : Gilles d'Orléans et l'Anonyme d'Erfurt / Iacopo Costa -- Searching for an uneasy synthesis between Aristotelian political language and Christian political theology / Stefano Simonetta -- Considerazioni sulla "cristianizzazione" di Aristotele in alcuni commenti di Marsilio di Inghen / Amos Corbini -- "Sempre alla pietà et buoni costumi ha exortato le genti" : Aristotle in the milieu of Cardinal Contarini (d. 1542) / Pietro B.

INQUIRIES, TRACKING, PACKING: If you are a collector or have specialized concerns please explain them in detail in any inquiry using the format: "I would like to purchase this book if it meets these following criteria" and be sure that the question is not already answered by my description. It is not possible to provide additional book photos. - PACKING YOUR BOOK: all of my books are packaged to survive the journey to you safely. Tracking numbers are sent via my mailing software and/or via the abebooks system: you can follow them and even sign up with the post for a notification of the progress of your package. Thanks to all of my customers for your support over the years, and happy reading to all.
PAYMENT: paying by credit card via the abebooks system is the most convenient solution. Due to EU tax requirements I am able to accept payment in EUR to my German bank account only in rare circumstances. Customers from Brazil must be prepared to email me their CFP tax number before any order can be processed.
HOW TO SEARCH MY ABEBOOKS INVENTORY: using the advanced boolean search in abebooks can lead you to some great discoveries in my collection of scholarly books, literature, and just fun reading: but it's confusing, it's not intuitive, it's not obvious. Ask me for a special search link and guide to advanced search. You will enjoy the process and save a lot of money by ordering more than one book at a time (unfortunately, this shipping advantage only applies to customers in the US).
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I apologize to my customers around the world for the high shipping costs which are beyond my control. Depending on the size and weight it is sometimes possible to mail two books in one priority mail envelope. If you wish to order more than one book for international shipping, feel free to inquire BEFORE YOU ORDER and I will explain the factors to consider. All packages are sent by airmail. There is no other option.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING OF LARGE NUMBERS OF BOOKS: it is often possible to ship heavier boxes of many books, 7kg to 15kg at lower cost per item and faster via UPS. Please inquire BEFORE you place an order, as this is a complicated procedure involving tax and customs fees.
