Like his father before him, Frans van Schooten (1615-1660) taught mathematics at Leiden University, among others to Christiaan Huygens. He is most famous for popularizing the geometric principles of René Descartes, but also wrote treatises of his own. The Elzeviers' Latin edition of this book of mathematical exercises was used at universities throughout Europe. Van Schooten's efforts made Leiden the centre of a strong mathematical community in the seventeenth century.

Das Werk umfasst neben Vorreden und Ehrentexten 38 Lieder, die sich den fünf katechetischen ,Hauptstücken' (Dekalog, Apostolisches Glaubensbekenntnis, Vaterunser, Taufe, Abendmahl) widmen, während sich 12 weitere Lieder mit der dem Kleinen Katechismus beigegebenen Haustafel befassen. Rists Ziel ist es, gemeisam mit seinen Komponisten einen spezifisch lyrisch-musikalischen Beitrag zur memorialen Aneignung des Katechismus zu leisten, der im frühneuzeitlichen Luthertum im Anschluss an den Wittenberger Reformator als das fundamentale Basislehrbuch des christlichen Glaubens und als ,kleine Biblia' galt. Die Kompositionen lieferten der Zittauer Organist Andreas Hammerschmidt und der Lüneburger Kantor Michael Jacobi. Die Quellentexte werden durch einen textkritischen Apparat und einen reichhaltigen Stellenkommentar (Nachweis von Traditionsgut, Klärung prosopographischer, bibliographischer und historischer Sachverhalte) sowie durch editorische Berichte, Nachworte und Register präzise erschlossen. Ein umfänglicher Anhang bietet sämtliche verfügbaren (teils archivalischen) Dokumente zur Entstehungsgeschichte des Werkes und zur Kooperation Rists mit seinen Komponisten dar.

"In this book, Ota Gál presents a new analysis of Plotinus' conception of beauty, beginning from a close reading of treatises I.6 and V.8, which link beauty with the unified multiplicity of Intellect. This account is subsequently placed in a hierarchical and structural context in VI.2 and VI.6 and connected to illumination in VI.7, enabling us to determine the meaning of the predicate "beauty" at different ontological levels. For Plotinus, beauty is ultimately the illuminated unity in multiplicity of Intellect, which, as the manifestation of the Good, simultaneously enables the soul's ascent and threatens to bind the soul to itself"--

This volume discusses the so-called Oneirocriticon of Achmet , the most important Byzantine work on dream interpretation which was written in Greek in the 10th century and has greatly influenced subsequent dreambooks in Byzantine Greek, Medieval Latin, and modern European languages. By comparing the Oneirocriticon with the 2nd-century A.D. dreambook of Artemidoros (translated into Arabic in the 9th century) and five medieval Arabic dreambooks, this study demonstrates that the Oneirocriticon is a Christian Greek adaption of Islamic Arabic material and that the similarities between it and Artemidoros are due to the influence of Artemidoros on the Arabic sources of the Byzantine work. The Oneirocriticon 's textual tradition, its language, the identities of its author and patron, and its position among other Byzantine translations from Arabic into Greek are also investigated.

This is the first volume exclusively devoted to the Expositio by Berthold of Moosburg (c.1295-c.1361) on Proclus’ Elements of Theology. The breadth of its vision surpasses every other known commentary on the Elements of Theology, for it seeks to present a coherent account of the Platonic tradition as such (unified through the concord of Proclus and Dionysius) and at the same time to consolidate and transform a legacy of metaphysics developed in the German-speaking lands by Peripatetic authors (like Albert the Great, Ulrich of Strassburg, and Dietrich of Freiberg). This volume aims to provide a basis for further research and discussion of this unduly overlooked commentary, whose historical-philosophical importance as an attempt to refound Western metaphysics is beginning to be recognized.. Readership: Scholars and students interested in the history of metaphysics, the Platonic tradition, and the intellectual milieu of the German Dominicans from Albert the Great to the mid-14th century.
