1493 Aristotle INCUNABLE De Anima Philosophy Gaetano de Thiene Averroism Illuminated

“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”

― Aristotle

Numerous 15^th-century philosophers were greatly influenced by Aristotle, including the esteemed Gaetano de Thiene, a Renaissance philosopher and physician. Gaetano de Thiene’s significant 15th-century Aristotelian commentary, Gaietanus super libros de anima explores the nature of the soul, perception, and intellect within within the framework of medieval psychology and medicine. A prominent Paduan scholar, Gaetano da Thiene was deeply influenced by the Averroist tradition and dedicated decades to interpreting Aristotle’s De Anima.

This exquisite 1493 work is beautifully leather-bound and features three illuminated initials along with a variety of woodcut diagrams and figures.
