Johannes Scottus is a book written by Edward Kennard Rand and published in 1906. The book is a biography of the medieval philosopher and theologian Johannes Scotus Eriugena, also known as John Scottus. Eriugena was an Irishman who lived in the 9th century and is known for his work in translating Greek philosophical texts into Latin, as well as his own philosophical writings. The book provides a detailed account of Eriugena's life, including his upbringing in Ireland, his travels to France and England, and his work as a scholar and teacher. The author also delves into Eriugena's philosophical ideas, which were heavily influenced by Neoplatonism and Christian theology. Throughout the book, Rand explores Eriugena's contributions to the fields of philosophy and theology, including his ideas about the nature of God, the relationship between reason and faith, and the role of language in understanding reality. The book also includes translations of some of Eriugena's writings, allowing readers to gain a deeper understanding of his ideas in his own words. Overall, Johannes Scottus is a comprehensive and insightful biography of one of the most important thinkers of the medieval period. It provides a fascinating look into the life and work of a man who made significant contributions to the development of Western philosophy and theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
