Augustine’s followers – Hildegard of Bingen, among them – inherited an unclarity about the possi-bility of knowing the invisible God through the visible nature. On the one hand, Augustine discussed how the physical visible world points to God as its creator. On the other hand, he demonstrated that knowledge derived from sensory perceptions of the visible is limited and inferior to inner learning. Although Hildegard embraced Augustine’s opinion that sensory perceptions are limited, she still con-sidered them important for believers. Vision 6 in Scivias II depicts a complex relationship between the visible and the invisible with regard to the Eucharist: Christ’s blood and body are not only superi-or to the wine and the bread, but are also identical to the latter and complete it. Thus, visible objects are not mere creations of the invisible but also reflect the invisible reality. In the first two sections of this article, I examine these theological dissimilarities. The last sections of the article suggest that the importance of the visible affected the structure of Vision II.6. Moreover, the illustrations of Vision II.6 present the complex relationship between the visible and the invisible. These illustrations display how an invisible concept may be reflected in a visible depiction

The aim of my paper is to clarify the content and function of the distinction between seeing and be-lieving stated by Augustine in his De videndo deo. I try to achieve this in three steps. First, I briefly describe the genesis, the fundamental ideas and the structure of De videndo deo. Second, I analyse in detail the distinction between seeing and believing put forward in the first part of Augustine’s text. Finally, I show the role that this distinction plays in the overall argument of De videndo deo.Keywords: faith, God, theophanies, value of theological opinions, vision

Geometry has proven to be a valuable resource in the history of philosophy for representing a range of concepts in the semantic domain of time. A series of segments, lines, circles, polygons and other figures have been used to translate visually and symbolically the ideas of time and eternity for the purposes of understanding them better, fostering reflection, and explaining them in a didactic manner. Time is central to Augustine of Hippo’s thought, and Book XI of the Confessiones is the main vehicle for its transmission. While it is not known whether Hildegard of Bingen read these pages, the Rhenish magistra’s vision of eternity and time shows a notable affinity with aspects of Augustinian thought. The visual representations in Hildegard’s Liber diuinorum operum (I, 2-3; III, 5) are used here to illustrate this possible influence (or confluence). In the visions and the miniatures that accompany them, the circle represents eternity, the diameter represents time, and the dot represents the present instant that connects both

In the 12th and early 13th centuries, we witness a steady rise in the level of sophistication with which scholars analysed the nature of the rational soul. This increase was undoubtedly attributable to the translation movement of the period, which made many Greek and Arabic philosophical texts avail-able in Latin for the first time. This paper will show how the introduction of Avicenna’s De anima in particular mediated readings of Aristotle as well as Augustine in the period of the Summa’s au-thorship, specifically, as regards its account of the soul, its relationship to the body, and its cognitive operations. In this way, I will illuminate the extent to which the reading of Avicenna shaped funda-mentally the ways in which the Franciscan tradition came to construe human nature

This article highlights the relevance of Augustine’s exegesis of 2 Cor. 12, 2-4 in book XII of De Genesi ad litteram, for the development of his theory on the participation of the body in the beatific vision. Our analysis is developed in three moments : the state of Augustine’s theory on the participa-tion of the body in the vision of God at the beginning of the year 413 (Sermo 277); the absence of a biblical text on the topic as an obstacle to affirm the participation of the body in the beatific vision; the overcoming of this obstacle through the exegesis of Paul’s narration of his ecstasy (2 Cor. 12, 2-4) and the deduction of the necessity for the human body to participate in the vision of God in patria
