Filosofia e medicina in Italia fra medioevo e prima età moderna
Il volume raccoglie alcune delle relazioni presentate durante il 4° Colloquio Internazionale della Societas Artistarum. Svoltosi presso l’Università degli studi di Milano il 7-9 novembre 2019 esso si proponeva di approfondire da prospettive diverse come si sia configurato nell’Italia medievale e rinascimentale il rapporto fra medicina e filosofia. Alcuni contributi si soffermano sul contesto storico-istituzionale dell’insegnamento e della pratica della medicina sull’uso di dottrine etiche e di strumenti logici e retorici da parte dei medici. Altri contributi avvalendosi anche di documenti e testi inediti analizzano invece temi interdisciplinari come le teorie della generazione e la natura delle acque fluviali oppure mettono a fuoco il pensiero e l’opera di medici-filosofi come Bartolomeo da Salerno Taddeo Alderotti Antonio da Parma e Ludovico Boccadiferro.

Dante the Theologian
Pierre Mandonnet
The Dominican master par excellence of the historical method Pierre Mandonnet (1858-1936) came to Dante as one of the leading Thomists and medievalists of his generation. However his monograph Dante le théologien (1935) was neglected and largely forgotten mainly as a result of the lay historian Étienne Gilson’s book-length refutation in Dante et la philosophie (1939).
This new edition and the first English translation re-presents Mandonnet’s erudite and thought-provoking monograph to contemporary scholars and Dante enthusiasts. It includes a critical introduction that situates Mandonnet’s work in relation to prevailing currents of Dante scholarship in the early twentieth-century and outlines how it might invite a reappraisal of central features of Dante’s thought today. Mandonnet’s historically-informed account of Dante the theologian as a preacher doctrinarian and distinctively medieval poet as well as his sophisticated analysis of the theological purpose method and content of the Commedia will be an invaluable resource for anyone who seeks to understand Dante’s works and their highly contested reception history.
