This contribution is divided into two independent parts: in the first part, it will deal not so much with examining individual cases of fictio and their role within a certain philosophy or an author, as to see how philosophizing or reasoning through fictiones has been theorized and practiced during the twel-fth and thirteenth centuries; in the second part, it will try, instead, to share what can be found reading medieval setting novels, and in particular medieval crime fiction, namely which image is given of medieval philosophers, philosophies and types of knowledge, and what type of role a wide range of disciplines going from medicine to the arts of trivium play within those narratives

This article aims at reassessing a widespread view, according to which Francisco Suárez left behind the scholastic model of truth as adaequatio, founding a new concept of truth based on his metaphysics of objective being. In the first part, I reconstruct the debate on the complex and incomplex truth, focu-sing especially on the sources of Suárez’s Disputation 8, and presenting the views of Aquinas, Henry of Ghent, Hervaeus, Durandus, Capreolus and Fonseca. Especially the latter proposes an eclectic synthesis, blending elements from the Dominican tradition and Henry of Ghent. In the second part, I analyze Suárez’s Disputation 8, showing that his doctrine of truth reprises and mitigates Fonseca’s, thus following most of the Dominican commentators of Aquinas. Here I explain especially the role played by objective being in the constitution of the truth in cognoscendo, also showing that the latter cannot be given without a previous adequation on the level of the truth in significando (the species). In the third part, I discuss three textual passages used by contemporary historiography to legitimate Suárez’s alleged abandon of adaequatio, pointing out, in the light of the previous reconstruction, some misreadings in these interpretations.

The paper aims to analyse, through multiple intertextual references, the reception of classical and me-dieval theory about relationship between veritas, fictio and poesis through Boccaccio’sand Petrarca’s examples. Starting from etymological and interpretative dissociation between the concepts of poetry and fiction, allowed by the rediscovery of Cicero’s Pro Archia, Petrarca and Boccaccio reaffirm the moral truth as center of poetic discourse, in defense of poetry against medieval accusations of defectum veritatis. A particular case of study is offered by the dialogicity of the elements of veritas and fictio in the new perspective of humanistic reworking of dream-vision’s literary theory in Boccaccio’s Amorosa Visione, and Petrarca’s Triumphi. This study highlights specifically the ways in which each author not only drew upon previous theoretical models (such as Macrobius Commentarium in Somnium Scipionis) and interacted with the genre of religious prophetic visions (like the Visio Alberici, Vision de Tondale)and the allegorism of Divine Comedy in the composition of his own oneiric texts, but also how, through their literary criticisms, they influenced the analysis of the symbols in subsequent literature.
本文以薄伽丘和佩特拉卡为例,通过多种互文参考,分析古典和中世纪关于真理、小说和诗歌关系的理论的接受情况。从词源学和解释上诗歌和小说概念之间的分离开始,由西塞罗的《论阿奇亚》的重新发现所允许,彼特拉卡和薄伽丘重申了道德真理作为诗歌话语的中心,为诗歌辩护,反对中世纪对“真理的缺失”的指责。以薄伽丘的《阿莫罗莎·维西奥》和佩特拉卡的《凯旋》为例,从人本主义视角对梦境文学理论进行重构,从而探讨了真实性与虚构要素的对谈性。这项研究特别强调了每位作者不仅借鉴了先前的理论模型(如《Somnium scipiis》中的Macrobius Commentarium),并在其自己的梦境文本的构成中与宗教预言异象(如《Visio Alberici》、《Vision de Tondale》)和《神曲》的寓言相互作用的方式,而且还通过他们的文学批评,他们如何影响了后来文学中对符号的分析。

Tiziana Suárez-Nani
This contribution focus on the fiction of the suppression of bodies by God (annihilatio mundi) and its implications for the philosophy of nature, namely within the development of the concepts of place and space. Recalling how some medieval thinkers formulate such an hypothesis, this study proposes a first analysis of its treatment by Francisco Suarez (in particular in the treatise De angelis). Indeed, in the wake of scholastic reflexions arisen in the XIIIth and XIVth centuries, Francisco Suarez made an abundant use of the fiction of the annihilatio mundi to support his thesis of the independence of spa-tial relationships with regard to the presence or absence of bodies, thus making the idea of emptiness (vacuum) philosophically plausible. This hypothetical treatment of the annihilatio mundi ultimately leads to a significant theoretical move beyond the Aristotelian conception of place.
