Editorial Reviews
Review
”Renaissance philosophy remains one of the more neglected periods in the history of philosophy, but recent years have seen a number of new editions and translations of texts that are making the period more accessible than ever before […] Spruit’s edition of Nifo’s De Intellectu is a very welcome contribution to this trend. It will also be of value to anyone interested in the reception of Aristotle, the afterlife of the Greek Aristotelian commentators, or the continuation of the medieval philosophical tradition into the early modern period.”
