Description

Explore the enduring scholarly debate surrounding the Speculum Astronomiae in this comprehensive historiographical study by Springer. Originally attributed to Albertus Magnus, the authorship of this influential medieval text became contested when historian Pierre Mandonnet proposed Roger Bacon as the true author, sparking decades of academic discussion. This volume examines the controversy through detailed textual analysis of works by Albert himself alongside contemporary scholars including Bacon, Bonaventura, Thomas Aquinas, Witelo, and Campanus of Novara. Part of the Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science series (volume 135), this book bridges medieval philosophy, theological scholarship, and the history of science, offering readers a nuanced perspective on how medieval thinkers reconciled astrology with religious doctrine and emerging scientific thought during a transformative period in European intellectual history.
