Robert Grosseteste, Exegete and Philosopher by James McEvoy - 1994

Variorum, UK, 1994. First Edition. Hardcover. New. 320 pages. Available Now. Book Description: Robert Grosseteste was one of the most eminent and universal scholars of his time. At his death, in 1253, as Bishop of Lincoln, he left behind him a literary heritage, which contemporary scholarship is still trying to come fully to terms with. This volume offers a series of studies concerning aspects of Grosseteste's thought on religious and metaphysical themes. Paying particular attention to questions of chronology and sources, the author aims to elicit his deeper presuppositions and to isolate certain of his intuitions that seem quite original. The articles include two unedited writings by Grosseteste, on the sun and on human nature, and place the accent not on the possible unity of his intellectual initiatives, but on their variety - concerning language and thought, the nature of light, the Ten Commandments and the Christian conscience, mystical union and the reasons for the incarnation. : About the Author: James McEvoy, Saint Patrick's College, Maynooth, Ireland Size: 2.5 x 15.9 x 23.5 cm. 320 pages.
