Description



Book Synopsis



The most influential question-commentary on the Politics in the Middle Ages

This volume is the first complete critical edition of Peter of Auvergne's Questiones super I-VII libros Politicorum. The Questiones was produced at the Faculty of Arts of Paris sometime between late 1291 and 1296 and is the earliest surviving commentary in question form on Aristotle's Politics. As the introduction explains, the Questiones was philosophically innovative and became the most influential question-commentary on the Politics in the Middle Ages. The volume also includes a critical edition of an earlier oral report (reportatio) of Peter's teaching on Books I-II and part of III which became the basis for those sections of the Questiones.

This volume is of interest to scholars of medieval philosophy and the history of political thought and is a reference point for future research on the medieval reception of Aristotle's Politics and medieval Aristotelian practical philosophy more broadly.



Review Quotes




Dans la suite de l'introduction générale, M. T. étudie la traduction et la réception de la Politique au Moyen Âge, en relation avec les Questiones et le *Scriptum *de Pierre d'Auvergne, ainsi que leur diffusion jusqu'à la Renaissance, cela en discutant de manière pointue certains problèmes d'interprétation, en examinant la littérature classique et récente à ce sujet et en y apportant des compléments importants, grâce à l'acribie avec laquelle il a mené son édition critique, en tenant compte de toutes les recherches que ce genre d'entreprise comporte, tant au niveau de la critique interne qu'à celui de la critique externe. - A. O., Revue des Sciences philosophiques et théologiques, Tome 108 N° 1 janv.-mars 2024



Il est indubitable que l'édition de Lidia Lanza est un ouvrage d'une très haute qualité. Nous ne pouvons que formuler le même jugement à propos de l'ouvrage de Marco Toste: l'édition des Questiones a été faite avec beaucoup de soin; elle est précédée d'une très solide introduction historico-philologique et philosophique de plus de 300 pages; s'y ajoutent encore une large bibliographie (très utile pour quiconque s'intéresse à la philosophie pratique du Moyen Âge tardif) et des index (évidemment plus amples que dans l'édition du Sciptum).
