    Translations of major sections of the Expositiones in Ierarchiam coelestem are appended (pp. 180-226), as well as John's prologue to his earlier translation of the Dionysian corpus (pp. 174-179).
    "The book is a comprehensive study of John Scotus Eriugena's commentary (Expositiones) on the Pseudo-Dionysian Celestial Hierarchy, with special attention given to its literary form and theological content.
    The order for introducing various aspects of the Expositiones follows the format of the work itself: first in John's own order comes the Dionysian text in translation, followed by a paraphrase or two and then by Eriugena's own comments, sometimes on particular sources, more often on the points of doctrine he wants to expound. Thus this book starts with the author, that is, John's perspective on Dionysius himself (Chapter I: "Dionysian Biographies").
    For Eriugena, Dionysius was the Athenian Areopagite, but was he also the Parisian martyr Saint Denis? Turning to the text of The Celestial Hierarchy, the particular Greek codex John was working with contained its own variants and challenges (Chapter II: "The Greek Manuscript and Its Problems"). Next comes a study of John's "Patterns of Translation and Paraphrase" (Chapter III). After his multiple paraphrases, Eriugena often adds his own expository remarks, sometimes invoking other sources, especially the remaining works of the Dionysian corpus (Chapter IV).
    Those interested primarily in John's philosophical theology could turn directly to the last three chapters, spanning the arc of "procession and return" so characteristic of the Periphyseon. The Expositiones show a particular interest in creation (Chapter V), anthropology (Chapter VI) and "Christ and Salvation" (Chapter VII). Eriugena's treatment of the doctrine of creation includes a
    particularly innovative understanding of creatio ex nihilo. His anthropology turns on the question of humanity's relationship to the divine, whether immediate (unmediated) or mediated or somehow both. The discussion of Christ includes skillful expansions of the biblical and Dionysian images for Christ, and a presentation of salvation as "theosis" or deification.
    Translations of major sections of the Expositiones are appended, as well as John's prologue to his earlier translation of the Dionysian corpus. The book also contains a bibliography, an index of premodern and modern names, a scriptural index, and an index to the works of Eriugena."

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL RESOURCES ABOUT JOHN SCOTTUS ERIUGENA

  1. Brennan Mary, "A bibliography of publications in the field of Eriugenian studies, 1800-1975," Studi Medievali 18: 401-447 (1977).
    Preface by Werner Beierwaltes.
    Introductory note: "The bibliography which follows was initially compiled for the use of members of the Society for the Promotion of Eriugenian Studies established in 1970. While drawing attention to my major bibliographical sources, indicated in Section I. a., I wish to acknowledge my particular indebtedness to the following members of that Society: W. Beierwaltes, L. Bieler, J. J. Contreni, J. Garcia, E. Jeauneau, H. Liebeschütz and G. Schrimpf. Most particularly I would wish to acknowledge my great debt of gratitude to the late I. P. Sheldon-Williams for his guidance at the early stages of this work.
    I should like also to express my thanks to the former librarian of University College, Dublin, Miss Ellen Power, as well as to assistant librarians R. Brennan and M. Dennigan Brown for much practical help. Finally, I want sincerely to thank Professor John O'Meara of University College under whose direction the work was undertaken and with whose encouragement it is now being published, as also the editor of Studi Medievali, Professor Claudio Leonardi, who has made publication possibile.
    The bibliography attempts to cover a limited field. It has been necessary to make judgments in the matter of inclusion or exclusion of items of related interest. For any shortcomings in this regard I take sole responsibility."

    From the Introduction: "A short section of this survey (I (b): 14-19) draws attention to progress in Eriugenian studies and, in an attempt to illustrate such progress, the individual sections are ordered chronologically from 1930 to 1987 (alphabetically within each year). The year 1930 has been chosen as an appropriate starting point, barely introducing, as it does, the publication in 1933 of Jean Scot Erigène, sa vie, son oeuvre, sa pensée by Dom Maïeul Cappuyns (Louvain/Paris 1933; reprint Brussels 1964). That volume was a major contribution to Eriugenian studies in this century. If it does not figure in the body of this survey or in the indices this is because the present writer regards it as meriting a separate survey. One may repeat the judgement of G. Mathon (*) that it dispenses us for the most part from reading the literature that pre-dates it. Hence it seems advisable that any student of Eriugena should begin with Cappuyns. The volume is provided with important bibliography, effective indices and a wealth of analytic treatment within the text itself. It could be assigned to all sections of the present survey, apart from III, (b) Editions, and (c) Instrumenta Lexicologica. On the other hand, acknowledgement is also due to Migne, Patrologia Latina CXXII (Paris 1853) whose publication date lies outside the scope of this survey but which for over a century provided the sole printed edition of most of the works of Eriugena.
    The present survey is intended as a guide for students and others who may be approaching the study of Eriugena from a great variety of perspectives. The compiler has striven to present summaries of the material read and not to pass judgement. Titles of books or articles are not always informative and the summaries, even when they may appear to run to some length, are intended only to indicate to the reader the main direction of the publication in question. In the case of books, published reviews have been listed or longer review articles summarised. Unpublished theses have not been included, with the single exception of the study of Greek sources by L. Vietorisz. Published Acta of conferences are listed both under the editor's name and the names of individual authors of papers. In only two cases is a publication by a single author listed twice, where two quite separate studies appeared in one volume. Where a publication that could be assigned to more than one section has been assigned to only one, the Indices which follow the survey are intended to expand on the information implied by the section headings and titles."

Proceedings of the Ninth International Colloquium of the Society for the Promotion of Eriugenian Studies held at Leuven and Louvain-la-Neuve, June 7-10, 1995. Edited by Van Riel Gerd, Steel Carlos, and McEnvoy James. Leuven: Leuven University Press 1996. pp. 367-400
    "This bibliography is intended to complement the extensive bibliographical study of Mary Brennan [Guide to Erigenian studies], whose work covers the period from 1930 to 1987.
    Among the sources we used, the most important are Medioevo Latino. Bollettino bibliografico della cultura europea dal secolo VI al XIII, a cura di C. Leonardi, Spoleto (Centro Italiano di Studi sull'Alto Medioevo); the Répertoire Bibliographique de la Philosophie - Bibliografisch Repertorium van de Wijsbegeerte, Louvain-la-Neuve (Editions de l'Institut Supérieur de Philosophie) Leuven; and the Bibliography which Prof. J. McEvoy periodically published in Eriugena. The Annual Bulletin of SPES (1992 - ).
    Contrary to M. Brennan's practice, we did not arrange the references by subject item. Instead, we used larger subdivisions: 1) Bibliographical Surveys, 2) Editions, 3) Translations, 4) Proceedings and Festschriften, 5) Collected Papers, 6) Monographs, and 7) Articles. All papers included in the volumes mentioned under the heading "Proceedings and Festschriften" figure also as separate articles in the corresponding section.
    Summaries are given only when the reference to Eriugena is not clearly stated in the title. Reviews are listed under the sign 'I'. Items marked with an asterisk (*) refer to publications earlier than 1987, not present in the survey of M. Brennan.
    I am deeply indebted to all the contributors to this volume (particularly to Prof. J. Contreni and É. Jeauneau), to Prof. W. Beierwaltes and D. Moran, for their willingness to revise the first draft of this survey, and for the additions they suggested. I also want to express my profound gratitude to Prof. C. Steel, for his support and sympathy. Magistro discipulus opusculum dedico."

Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference of the Society for the Promotion of Eriugenian Studies - Maynooth and Dublin August 16-20, 2000. Edited by McEnvoy James and Dunne Michael. Leuven: Leuven University Press 2002. pp. 611-636
    "The work of John Scottus Eriugena continues to interest modern scholars. The last lustrum saw the publication of a large amount of articles and books devoted to this early medieval thinker. The most important event in the field of Eriugenian studies was the textual edition, by Edouard Jeauneau, of the Periphyseon (de divisione naturae), which will soon be fully achieved. One can expect that this critical edition of Eriugena's major work will give an extra stimulus to the ever growing stream of publications on the Irish master.
    This survey of Eriugenian studies completes the "Bibliographical Survey of Eriugenian Studies 1987-1995" [referred to as Van Riel 1996], which was published in the proceedings of the Ninth Colloquium of the Society for the Promotion of Eriugenian Studies (lohannes Scottus Eriugena. The Bible and Hermeneutics, ed. G. Van Riel, C. Steel, and J. McEvoy, Leuven, 1996, p.367-400). We have adopted the same subdivisions here (editions, translations, monographs, and articles).
    The survey also contains an index (authors, topics, and manuscripts), which covers not only the present list of works, but also the "Bibliographical Survey 1987-1995" [the numbers 1-302 refer to items listed there]. This provides the reader with a complete and indexed survey of the period from 1987 to 2000."

     

  5. Sheldon Williams Inglis Patrick, "A bibliography of the works of Johannes Scottus Eriugena," Journal of Ecclesiastical History 10: 198-224 (1959).
    "This bibliography is part of the preparation of an edition of Eriugena's Periphyseon (De diuisione naturae) for the series, Scriptores latini Hiberniae, published by the Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies.
    It supplements the shorter one contained in J. F. Kenney's Sources for the Early History of Ireland, I: Ecclesiastical (New York 1929), and, except in the lists of MSS., does not repeat what is contained there. The letter K against a MS. indicates that it is mentioned by Kenney. Dom Maieul Cappuyns's study, (*) published in 1933, would have afforded a broader and sounder foundation to build upon, but its bibliographical material, though ample, is not systematically arranged. Kenney supplies the form, Cappuyns the greater part of the matter, the rest of which derives from researches carried out since he wrote.
    In the light of these researches Eriugena is shown to be the author of the following:

    1. De Praedestinatione (851) .
    2. A commentary on the De Nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii of Martianus Capella (859/860).
    3. A commentary on Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy III, met. 9 (between 859 and 862).
    4. A translation of the works of Dionysius the Areopagite (between 86o and 862).
    5. A translation of the Ambigua of Maximus the Confessor (between 862 and 864).
    6. A translation of the De hominis opificio of Gregory of Nyssa (De Imagine) (between 862 and 864).
    7. A translation of the De fide of Epiphanius.
    8. Periphyseon (De diuisione naturae) (between 864 and 866).
    9. Expositiones super Ierarchiam caelestem (between 865 and 870).
    10. A revised version of the translation of Dionysius (between 865 and 875).
    11.A homily on the Prologue to St. John's Gospel.
    12. A commentary on St. John's Gospel.
    13. Tractatus de uisione Dei.
    14. Poems.

    Of these fourteen works eight are included in Floss's edition in P.L., CXXII: De Praedestinatione, the translation of Dionysius (the earlier version, emended to some extent from the later), the translation of Maximus (incomplete), Periphyseon, Expositiones (incomplete), the homily and three of the four extant fragments of the commentary on the Fourth Gospel, and the poems (incomplete) . A new and complete edition of the poems was published by Traube in 1896, and in recent years editions have appeared of the Boethius commentary, the missing portion of the Expositiones, and a commentary on Martianus Capella in which parts, at least, of Eriugena's work are included. The MSS. of the De Imagine and the rest of the translation of the Ambigua have been identified by Cappuyns (as, with less certainty, a fourth fragment of the commentary on St. John) but have not been published. The translation of Epiphanius and the Tractatus have not been discovered."

  6. Sheldon Williams Inglis Patrick, "A list of the works doubtfully or wrongly attributed to Johannes Scottus Eriugena," Journal of Ecclesiastical History 15: 76-98 (1965).
    "Eriugena made a name for himself both by his outstanding scholarship and by the boldness, not to say the heterodoxy, of his opinions. As a natural consequence of this, there has been since the Middle Ages a tendency to attribute to him works displaying these characteristics for which no more likely author could be found. My 'Bibliography' of Eriugena (*) was an attempt to give an account of his genuine writings purged of these accretions, and I made no reference to them in it. As, however, many of them have been published under his name in Migne's Patrologia and elsewhere, and as the literature in which their genuineness is questioned or refuted is not always easily accessible, it seemed that a supplement to the `Bibliography' containing a list of the works that were excluded from it with, where possible, the reasons for their exclusion might be useful. This supplement breaks no new ground: particularly, my debt to Dom Maïeul Cappuyns is greater than in the `Bibliography' for, whereas more Eriugena material has come to light since he wrote, I know of no work excluded by him from the Eriugena corpus which has since been proved to be genuine. Such value as this note has is that of convenience.
    It cannot in all respects follow the shape of the 'Bibliography', in which I gave a catalogue of Eriugena's writings, as fully documented as possible and (except for the Poems) in chronological order. Pseudepigrapha do not require such documentation and do not lend themselves to chronological arrangement. But, since some sort of order must be adopted, I have tried to align them as far as possible with the stages of Eriugena's development as revealed in his genuine extant works, in which he shows himself first (in the De praedestinatione) as a controversialist, then (in the commentaries on Martianus Capella and Boethius) as a grammarian and logician, and finally, after reading the Greek Fathers, as a Christian Platonist philosopher. Among the works doubtfully or falsely attributed to him, apologetics are represented by a treatise on the eucharist, grammar and logic by works on Aristotle, Porphyry, the two Priscians, Macrobius, which, if they ever existed, would probably belong to this group; and philosophy by works related to, or influenced by, the translations of the ps.-Dionysius. As in the `Bibliography' I have left poetical works to the end."

    "This author fids that Eriugena in the Periphyseon does fulfil his promise of an internal order and coherence in the progress of his reasoning. But the order may be difficult to discern. The author proposes to survey the Periphyseon on three levels - logical, pedagogical and epistemological. The work is a vast logical definition of the phusis, entirely centred on the universitas. The ten categories are not merely the objects of Eriugena's discourse but the conditions thereof (p. 213). This author considers Eriugena's four divisions of nature and five modes of being in the light of that remark: even in these basic analyses there is a logical order of anteriority and posteriority. At the pedagogical level the Periphyseon is a debate and between the two participants in the dialogue there is the mediatory figure of Reason. The device of repetitio far from manifesting mere prolixity is a time-honoured element of rhetoric: it represents the gradual adaptation of the eye to the light (p. 218) and clarifies any obscurities remaining over from earlier exposition of a theme; the dialogue takes on the allure of a symphony. In Book I the discussion of the Categories is a propaedeutic to the principal theme. At the epistemological level the discussion moves from the deep obscurity of being/non-being to 'the less obscure and to epiphanies. This author emphasises the framework of the trivium to be discerned in the structure of the Periphyseon. The metaphor of a knot which is to be untied is recurrent; reasoning is a weave and God a weaver." (B. p. 233)

    Translated by Dominic J. O'Meara.

    ""This author confronts the question of the extent to which Eriugena shows trust or distrust concerning the nature, capacity and function of language. Philosophers and theologians are faced with the problem of expressing in words the ineffability of that which they recognise to be ineffable and inexpressible. The author takes Eriugena's thought as a paradigm for the evaluation of the relationship between thought and words, language and its object, and considers it under certain headings. I: Thought does not lose but retains its spirituality in being expressed in words (pp. 524 ff.): the spoken word is an exteriorising of an already 'sensualised' sensus interior which, together with intellectus and ratio, form in man's thought a structure analogous to the Holy Trinity. JSE (p. 527B) comes close to extreme `idealism' in seeming to identify the notion of a thing with the thing itself: the substance is the concept. Newertheless we cannot fully know what they are. (Hence how can we hope to know what God is.) The author proceeds to comment on JSE's analysis of the relationship between man's thought, understanding and word, which depends ultimately on God's 'enlightenment' of man.
    II. The author deals with a particular aspect of God's ineffability and JSE's dissatisfaction in an approach to the topic metaphorically (translative), and his preference for the negative approach (nihil per excellentiam, per infinitatem). The only difference between the first and fourth divisions of Nature is in our concept and description of them.
    III. The author chooses two terms, dialectica and transitus, with which to exemplify JSE's own application of his theories on language. (i) Dialectica: the dialectical functions of division and resolution (particular/general correspond with the philosophical notions of descendere and ascendere, the many/the One). Dialectic, according to JSE, is not a mere human device but established within existence itself. The existence of God himself is dialectically structured, negatively and affirmatively, in nothingness and super-essence. The author elaborates this point with many references to the text of the Periphyseon. (ii) Transitus: this term, according to the author, has a very wide reference in respect of JSE's use of it. It has more than a dialectical verbal connotation: it implies the entire process of creation and return; e.g. God's creation of Himself from nothingness is a `crossing-over'. The theme of transitus occurs also in JSE's poetry, e.g. Carmina II, III (ed. Traube), and the author adverts to possible Irish echoes here."

    "the sted purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between Eriugena's theory and praxis of the arts. Making use of the computer programmes devised principally at the Université de Montréal this author has been able to establish that close to three quarters of the significant vocabulary in the Periphyseon is related to one or other of the artes. The study is extended further to discover in which of the seven disciplines Eriugena most often, assumes the role of magister and it is found that the trivium receives far greater attention than does the quadrivium. The author points out the originality of Eriugena's elaboration of expressions in the field of dialectica in the course of the five books. She, particularises, with the aid of tables, on the distribution of the other disciplines throughout the books, noting that musica has a global aspect within the quadrivium transcending its mere specific reference. The author pursued her computer investigation further to include an analysis of the occurrences of the decem categoriae within the Periphyseon: her findings suggest that it is simplistic -- in view of the uneven distribution of their occurrences -- to regard Book I as a concealed gloss on Aristotle's work (p. 356). Coupled with Eriugena's discourse on the four elements these physical references i.e. to natura (in Books III and V) create a balance. within the ambit of the quadrivium to match the major emphasis of dialectica in Book II, with an even emphasis from both groups in Books I and IV." (B. pp.121-122).

    "After a brief critique of some recent scholarly interpretations of the Periphyseon, including the views of I. P. Sheldon-Williams, this author confines his considerations to Book I. Themes treated include universitas, incognoscibility, the significance of the section on the categoriae decem within Book I. The author regards as crucial for Eriugena the passages on time and space, representing, he believes, the circumstantiae, to be distinguished from essentia, and he links the distinction with that of apophatic and kataphatic expression. The second half of the article concentrates on the categories of space and time. The author recognises Eriugena's debt to Gregory of Nyssa and Maximus in his treatment of those themes. Their equivalencies of status and motus are also traced to ancient secular sources. The author concludes, as he had begun, by remarking that the `digression' on the categories in Periphyseon I should not be so regarded: on the contrary it is central to Eriugena's views on creation."

    "The very limitations of space and time allow us mentally to grasp the unattainable unity within the Causes by individualised beings (Periphyseon I, 25: PL 122, 471B-C). Whereas Eriugena's byzantine patristic sources had considered this problem and declared the human mind inadequate, his optimistic view included this process within the divisio of nature, from unity to multiplicity. For Eriugena full knowledge implies definition, limitation, hence God's knowledge of quid sit would delimit that quid. The positive theology of psDionysius as expressed in such delimiting terminology, is often translated by Eriugena with the prefix circum-. The ten categories are the instruments of definition and delimitation, particularly that of locus, which following Maximus is inseparable from that of tempus (Periphyseon I, 39: PL 122, 481 B-C). Nevertheless, as this author is quick to point out, there is a reversal of emphasis on Eriugena's part and while she suggests possible neoplatonist sources she equally quickly rejects them (pp. 45-6).
    The discussion following the paper cented to some degree on Augustinian influences as well as (from W. Beierwaltes) the view that there was an aristotelian influence received through Maximus." (B. pp. 221-222).

     

  30. Cristiani Marta, "Lo spazio e il tempo nell'opera dell'Eriugena," Studi Medievali: 39-136 (1973).
    "The author of this study suggests at the outset that she intends the term 'spazio' to be construed rather as `place' (locus) and proposes to deal with her theme in the context of Periphyseon Books I and V, that is in relation first to processio - in which Eriugena makes a coherent case -- and then to reditus -- where the clear-cut arguments cannot apply.
    Section I (pp. 40-116) explores the question in relation to processio under the following headings: (1) the incognoscibility of Essence: Eriugena's (mis) translation of the ps-Dionysian dictum is adduced: Cognitio... eorum quae sunt, ea, quae sunt, est. In the formulation of his system his debt to Maximus Confessor and consequently to Gregory is emphasised. (2) "Terminus naturae": locus is one of the categories which though in describing a being necessarily delimits it yet renders it less unknowable; likewise the category tempus enjoys equal privilege. (3) The Unity of the Categories and the problem of "locus": the question of locus is discussed within the tradition of Plato and Porphyry as well as of the skeptic, Sextus Empiricus, all responding to the Categoriae of Aristotle. (4) The notion of place as a function of the intellect: Eriugena did not adhere to the strict hierarchical structure of the ps-Dionysius. The distinction between knowledge of quia est and quid est and the problem of the divine intellect as locus sui are discussed. The variety of his sources has complicated the problem. (5) Spatio-temporal unity: on the question of time Eriugena has a clearer view. Again sources are discussed, going back to the Stoics, with Maximus Confessor providing the principal inspiration. Knowledge must be expressed in terms of space and time (Periphyseon I, 39, col. 481BC). (6) Space and time, primordial conditions of the real: this heading indicates Eriugena's divergence from the views of Maximus. Eriugena held a more dynamic view of creation. The question of other sources is looked into, particularly concerning the interpretation of the biblical principium (arché) (7)' Conclusion: Space and Time perform the function of determining and circumscribing and stabilising the frontiers of being; they precede created nature; they are a function of the intellect in the cognitive act.
    Section II (pp. 116-134) considers space and time in the perspective of the reditus. This author suggests that the imprecision of language on this question may seem to involve a paradox in Eriugena's exposition (Book V) but it does contain its own internal logic. The Pauline phrase tempora aetema is adduced in relation to the Primordial Causes. Eriugena has recourse to Augustinian texts to help him reconcile seemingly impossible contradictions. The author believes that even if Eriugena does seem to express views that are superficially negative, the recapitulatio profoundly demonstrates the ontological necessity of the incarnation of the Word (Periphyseon V, 29, col. 912 B). Eriugena's originality would seem to have been his characterisation of space and time as intellectual, not material categories." (B. pp. 220-221)
