- Summary:
- Spruit (Dutch language and literature, Sapienza U., Rome, Italy) offers a commentary and introductory essay, and the complete 1554 edition of Nifo's De intellectu (in Latin). In his introduction, Spruit describes the main points of the work, its intellectual origins, and its reception. A chapter-by-chapter commentary on the work follows, with summaries of each chapter's main argument. Following Nifo's text, the volume concludes with an exhaustive bibliography of primary and secondary sources and a chronology of Nifo's life and career. This is a major new resource for scholars of Platonism, particularly as related to Averroes and his interpreters. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
