Document Details : Title: An Unknown Treatise of Avveroes against the Avicennians on the First Cause Subtitle: Edition and Translation Author(s): STEEL, Carlos , GULDENTOPS, Guy Journal: Recherches de Théologie et Philosophie Médiévales Volume: 64 Issue: 1 Date: 1997 Pages: 86-135 DOI: 10.2143/RTPM.64.1.525876 Abstract : Although the treatise presented here is most interesting, it was never widely disseminated. As far as we know, it is preserved only in Latin, in one manuscript. The text poses many questions. Who produced a copy of the text? Who is the translator? Is the treatise a genuine work of Averroes? And if so, what was his intention in writing this monograph on the First Cause? |
