Abstract

The article analyses the chapter on dreams of the by Iacopo Passavanti, a Dominican friar who lived in 14th century Florence, focusing on the philosophical sources employed by the preacher. This section of the is in fact peculiar, since Iacopo discusses here the value of dreams for human knowledge by means of Aristotelian concepts and doctrines, but it does not mention them explicitly. Moreover, while discussing on dreams, Iacopo lingers on the myth of the magnetic mountain following the pseudo-Aristotelian and the treatise by Albert the Great. The article studies also Passavanti’s other sources concerning this passage, such as the by Marbodus of Rennes and the by Vincent of Beauvais.
