Memory and Recollection in the Aristotelian Tradition: Essays on the Reception of Aristotle's De Memoria Et Reminiscentia (Studia Artistarum: Etudes ... Medievales, Vol. 47) (English and French Edition)

"Aristotle’s De memoria et reminiscentia (“On Memory and Recollection”) is the oldest surviving systematic study of the nature of human memory. Forming part of Aristotle’s other minor writings on psychology that were intended as a supplement to his De anima (“On the Soul”) and known under the collective title Parva naturalia, Aristotle’s De memoria et reminiscentia gave rise to a vast number of commentaries in the Middle Ages. The present volume offers new knowledge on the medieval understanding of Aristotle’s theories on memory and recollection across the linguistic traditions including the Byzantine Greek, Latin and Arabic reception."--Quatrième de couverture Front Matter Véronique Decaix.
