Medieval influences in the Coimbra Commentaries (An Inquiry Into the Foundations of Jesuit Education)
Abstract
The paper deals with the Coimbra Commentaries, a group of eight commentaries of Aristotle, published in the Portuguese town of Coimbra between 1592 and 1606, that knew a large editorial success through Europe. The reception of the Medieval philosopher Henry of Ghent is considered as a case-study but attention is also paid to geographical, cultural and scholarly humanistic conditions that helped the Commentaries to create their own philosophical style.Downloads
