Since the publication of the edition of John Blund's Tractatus de anima by the British Academy in 1970 there has been widespread acceptance of the importance of this text for the history of thought. Blund (ca. 1175-1248) was probably one of the first commentators on the libri naturales at Paris before the prohibition of 1210, and later introduced them to Oxford. Indeed, apart from the prohibitions of 1210 and 1215, the De anima of Blund is the one text which sheds light on the first reception of Aristotle at Paris. The text was probably composed at Paris, before 1204. Blund taught arts at Paris ca. 1200-1205, then at Oxford towards 1207-1209. He returned to study theology at Paris during the interdict (1208-1214) and the contemporaneous suspension of the schools at Oxford (1209-1214). He was regent in theology at Paris for twelve years, and taught theology at Oxford after 1229. With the Tractatus a whole area of philosophical speculation--namely Greek and Arabic psychology--arrived at Oxford, where it would continue to grow and be debated throughout the century. Blund did not know Averroes but he reflects the state of Latin Aristotelianism during the first third of the thirteenth century. Like his contemporaries Blund regarded the De anima of Avicenna as a commentary on Aristotle; indeed they found it clearer than the text of Aristotle and were guided by it. Blund is faithful to Aristotle and to Avicenna, rejecting, for example, the binarium famosissimum drawn from the Fons vitae of Avicebron. In expounding the doctrine of Aristotle and following the plan laid out by Avicenna, he considers the arguments for and against before offering his own reasoned position in the solutio. He defends the role of the philosopher as considering the nature of the soul and as distinct from theological considerations. This new English translation makes available this important text to a wider audience of scholars interested in philosophy, theology, medieval history and the history of science and psychology. Students who are learning medieval Latin will be able to follow the original Latin with the help of the parallel translation and text notes.

"Interrogé par un groupe d'amis sur la nature et les pouvoirs de l'âme, Cassiodore (v. 490 - v. 587), qui fut un temps haut fonctionnaire palatin au service du roi ostrogoth Théodoric le Grand et de ses successeurs, rédigea De l'âme vers 538. Récemment converti, il prend parti sur la question de l'âme, un des lieux de controverse entre philosophie païenne et réflexion chrétienne. En dix-huit chapitres se concluant par une prière, il affirme ainsi sa foi neuve tout en réassumant sa culture classique. Il s'attache à faire apparaître l'âme comme l'instrument et le milieu qui permettent à l'homme d'abord de parvenir à sa propre connaissance et à celle du monde, révélateurs l'un et l'autre de la puissance et de la bonté de Dieu, puis de se préparer à atteindre la condition béatifi que. À partir d'emprunts aussi bien sacrés que profanes, auxquels les citations scripturaires servent de ciment, Cassiodore s'inscrit dans la tradition latine des traités sur l'âme initiée par Tertullien, et compose une oeuvre appelée à connaître une immense postérité."--
