Description

Explore a deep historiographical case study regarding the Speculum Astronomiae and its complex origins. This scholarly work examines the controversy surrounding the attribution of the text, which surfaced when Pierre Mandonnet suggested Roger Bacon as the author instead of Albertus Magnus. This debate, later challenged by Lynn Thorndike, remains a significant topic in the history of science and theology. This volume provides a detailed analysis of texts from Albertus Magnus and his contemporaries to resolve these questions. By looking at the works of major figures such as Thomas Aquinas, Roger Bacon, Bonaventura, Witelo, and Campanus of Novara, the study offers a clear view of the relationships between astrology, theology, and science during this era. It is an essential resource for researchers studying the Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science series.
