The Tradition of the Goddess Fortuna in Medieval Philosophy and Literature is a scholarly book written by Howard Rollin Patch and first published in 1922. The book explores the concept of the goddess Fortuna in medieval philosophy and literature, tracing her origins in classical mythology and examining her evolution in Christian thought. Patch analyzes the different interpretations of Fortuna in medieval philosophy, ranging from her role as a pagan deity of fate to her representation of divine providence in Christian theology. He also examines the ways in which Fortuna was depicted in medieval literature, including her appearances in works by Dante, Chaucer, and Boccaccio.The book provides a comprehensive overview of the various interpretations of Fortuna in medieval thought, and it sheds light on the broader cultural and intellectual trends of the time. It is a valuable resource for scholars of medieval philosophy, literature, and theology, as well as anyone interested in the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
