Defining the nature of the elements was key to deciphering the very structure of the universe and the essence of things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong with four primary texts, here edited for the first time, this book discusses one of the most original contributions to this debate, that of Renaissance philosopher Pietro Pomponazzi (d. 1525). Pomponazzi's account, developed in university lectures, holds significance for two reasons. First, it provides a thorough description of the most influential doctrines on the elements presented by medieval scholars, opening a window onto three hundred years of prior discussions on the topic. Second, Pomponazzi also develops his own views on the issue, explicitly defining them as 'heretical' to emphasise his departure from all opinions expressed before him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree ebook available at OAPEN Library, JSTOR, Project Muse, and Open Research Library\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luca Burzelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462704155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462704152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leuven University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Luca Burzelli","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45934133346559,"sku":"9789462704152","price":96.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_104d0677-61cf-4f2c-8851-55c4611b21dd.jpg?v=1721790422","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pietro-pomponazzi-and-the-renaissance-luca-burzelli-9789462704152","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
