Fondo de Cultura Economica USA, 1993

THEOS!
El primer capítulo empieza con una reflexión sobre el origen de la palabra `teología', retrocediendo desde su empleo por San Agustín en "Civitate Dei (la ciudad de Dios)," en la que apunta hacia una realidad trascendente (teología super-natural), hasta reencontrarse con el acuñador del término, Platón.

This volume presents the last and only complete Mediaeval Latin translation of Aristotle's Metaphysics, partly a revision of an older version, partly an original translation, both done by the Flemish Dominican William of Moerbeke in the 13th century. Widely distributed, it has been preserved in more than 200 manuscripts. For the first time in the history of the Latin Aristotle, a still existing Greek manuscript has proved to be ...
