medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Deely, John N." <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2007 15:16:59 -0500 Subject: PDF Attachment for the Cursus Philosophicus of John Poinsot, aka Joannes a Sancto Thoma Colleagues: This is a request for your help to ensure that a new printing of the 1930–32 Reiser edition of Joannes a Sancto Thoma's Cursus Philosphicus goes forward. What is needed is that you have your institutional library enter a subscription for the work: details below. As most, perhaps all, of you know, Jacques Maritain considered John of St Thomas — John Poinsot — to be, after only St Thomas himself, his prinicpal teacher in philosophy, and the last "commentator of genius" in the Latin line of Thomistic development. The best edition of the Cursus Philosophicus that John of St Thomas published between 1631 and 1635 was brought out in three volumes in the 1930s under the editorship of B. Reiser, an edition both long out of print and one published before the realization of the importance of publishing scholarly editions on acid-free paper. Hildesheim Publishing (of Georg Olms) is planning for a Winter 2007/2008 re-issue of this important work (see flyer "Poinsot Subscription", attached) provided that they receive enough subscriptions to go forward, a minimum of ten — nine, now that the University of St Thomas, Houston, library has entered a subscription. The purpose of this e-mail is to ask each of you to have your university library enter a subscription of the work, so that the reprinting will be assured. Of course, private individuals can also enter a subscription. For either an institutional or an individual subscription to this reprint of the Cursus Philosophicus, simply e-mail Bruno Vogel <[log in to unmask]> with full contact information, specifying that "This is a subscription to the reprinting of Poinsot's Cursus Philosophicus." While that short message would suffice, I also add the full information concerning this matter should your librarian require it in order to subscribe. ********************************************************************** Johannes Poinsot, Cursus philosophicus Thomisticus.
