Medieval logic is usually divided into the branches that derived from Aristotle's organon - the 'logica vetus' and 'logica nova', and those invented in the Middle Ages, the 'logica modernorum'. In this volume, a group of distinguished specialists asks whether the ancient roots of medieval logic were not in fact more varied. Stoic logic was mostly lost, but were some of its themes transmitted, even in distorted form, through Boethius and through the grammatical tradition? And did other schools, such as the sceptics and the Platonists, contribute in their own ways to medieval logic?

The studies in this volume present early science in its rich and divergent complexity. Many historians of the Scientific Revolution have used early modern scholasticism to represent pre-seventeenth century science as a whole, but a close look at ancient, medieval, and even early modern scientific writers shows that before the Scientific Revolution - and not only in Europe - there were many and diverse traditions of interpreting the natural world. This book provides a broad range of historical evidence concerning early science, which may be used as a basis for new and more complex historical interpretations. Originally published as Volume XIV, Nos. 1-3 (2009) of Brill's journal Early Science and Medicine .

Connue de longue date pour ses visions, l'abbesse allemande Hildegarde de Bingen (1098-1179) a conquis ces dernières années un public de plus en plus large grâce à deux autres de ses dons. Cette bénédictine géniale, dont la longue vie fut particulièrement active, s'essaya en effet avec autant de succès à la musique et à la médecine, domaines dans lesquels peu de femmes ont laissé leur nom. Ses chants liturgiques (dont elle composa elle-même le texte et la musique) ont été conservés dans des manuscrits contemporains de leur auteur, et sont abondamment joués et enregistrés. Sa science naturelle en revanche, si elle séduit un nombre toujours croissant d'adeptes en quête d'alternatives à la médecine traditionnelle, ne présente pas les mêmes garanties de fiabilité : les préceptes médicaux de Hildegarde, que le public redécouvre aujourd'hui avec enthousiasme, nous ont été transmis par des manuscrits tardifs, et donc susceptibles d'avoir subi bon nombre de modifications. Les écrits scientifiques qu'elle conçut et rédigea se confondent-ils réellement avec ceux qui nous sont parvenus ? L'édition qu'on en donna à la Renaissance à Strasbourg fut-elle établie d'après un manuscrit aujourd'hui disparu, ou est-elle une belle infidèle ? Et si l'étonnant savoir naturaliste de Hildegarde est bien le sien, d'où cette moniale prétendûment inculte tenait-elle ces connaissances ? Autant de questions que l'auteur a tenté de résoudre en prenant ces traités médicaux en filature à travers les siècles : les résultats de l'enquête forment le récit des aventures et des avatars d'un oiseau rare, une œuvre scientifique composée par une femme hors du com¬mun dans l'Occident du XIIe siècle.

This volume is the first annotated translation in any language of the entire text of the Summulae de dialectica, by the Parisian master of arts John Buridan (1300-1358). One of the most influential works in the history of late medieval philosophy, the Summulae is Buridan's systematic exposition of his nominalist philosophy of logic. Buridan's doctrine spread rapidly and for some two hundred years was dominant at many European universities. His work is of increasing interest today not only to historians of medieval philosophy but also to modern philosophers, several of whom find in Buridan's ideas important clues to problems of contemporary philosophy. Gyula Klima provides a substantial introduction to Buridan's life and work and discusses his place in the history of logic. Through extensive notes Klima assists philosopher and medievalist alike to read Buridan with understanding and insight. Those with a philosophical interest in the relations among the structures of language, thought, and reality will find much to ponder in the Summulae.
