De immortalitate anime

Title

De immortalitate anime

Description

The treatise on the soul by the dominican Jacopo Campora from Genova, written in Bruges in 1432 and dedicated to the Venetian merchant Giovanni Marcanova, who put Campora up on the occasion of his stay in London, had a wide circulation both in mss. and printed editions. The work is conceived as a compendium in the form of a dialogue between the author and the dedicatee, mainly addressed to vernacular readers not acquainted with erudite and theological contents. Aristotle's On the Soul is a crucial source in Campora's work, but the author draws on other sources as well (e.g. Church Fathers).
