Isagoge

PORFIRIO (Tiro 233 d.C. - Roma 304 ca.): Isagoge o Introduzione alle Categorie di Aristotele tradotta per la prima volta in italiano e annotata da Ernesto Passamonti, Pisa Tipografia T. Nistri e C. 1889
"Isagoge" (Introduzione) e opera conosciuta anche col titolo "Le cinque voci". Concepita come introduzione alle "Categorie" di Aristotele, accolte quindi dal neoplatonismo, fu, insieme a queste, tradotta e commentata in latino da Severino Boezio, entrando cosi in pieno nella tradizione cristiana medievale, per la quale costitui fino al secolo XII l'unica fonte dello studio della logica. Come il suo appellativo "Cinque voci" insinua, si tratta in essa di cinque concetti fondamentali: Genere, Specie, Differenza specifica, Proprio, Accidentale. (...) L'"Isagoge" di Porfirio, considerata durante il Medioevo come introduzione indispensabile alle "Categorie" e quindi della filosofia e teologia, e al possesso della beatitudine eterna, deve soprattutto la sua grande importanza storica all'aver provocato la celeberrima questione intorno al valore conoscitivo degli "universali", campo di lotta e di discordia in seno alla Scolastica, dal sec. IX alla prima meta del sec. XII. Fu Porfirio ad appiccare l'incendio che doveva causare la secolare conflagrazione, dichiarando nell'"Isagoge" di voler lasciare insoluto il problema se i generi e le specie, che si predicano di molti individui, siano realta sussistenti, ovvero abbiano esistenza soltanto nella mente; e nel primo caso, se siano realta corporee o incorporee, e se separate ovvero situate nelle realta sensibili. Per stimolare la curiosita, non poteva far di peggio che aggiungere: "Si tratta di un problema altissimo" bisognoso di speciale e piu profonda indagine" (Giovanni Pioli, in Bompiani 1959: vol. IV pag. 131). Vistose tracce d'uso al dorso della copertina. Ottimo l'interno. Prima edizione in lingua italiana.

FONSECA, PEDRO DA (PETRUS FONSECA), Institutionum dialecticarum libri octo. Emendatius quam antehac editi. Quibus accesit eiusdem auctoris Isagogae philosophica. Cum librorum argumentis, indice copiosissimo capitum & rerum.
*'Fonseca, Pedro da, (SJ seit 1548), der "portugies. Aristoteles", * 1528 zu Corticao, 6 Jahre Prof. der Philos. und 1 Jahr der Theol. an der Univ. Coimbra (...) +4.11.1599 zu Lissabon. Durch die von ihm an der Univers. Coimbra eingeführte Methode, die philos. Vorlesungen an den griech. Urtext des Aristoteles anzuschließen, durch sein berühmtes Hauptwerk Commentarii in libros metaphysicorum Aristotelis (...) das neben der scholastischen auch die gesamte griechische exeget. Überlieferung verarbeitet, und durch die auf seine Anregung und nach seinem Vorbild entstandenen Kommentare der Coimbrizenser hat F. entscheidend zur Erneuerung der Scholastik im 16. Jahrh. beigetragen, auch großen Einfluß auf die Entwicklung der Philosophie an den protestant. Universitäten Hollands u. Deutschlands ausgeübt'. Lexikon für Theologie und Kirche, Freiburg i.Br., Herder, 1932 (2e herz.), IV, p. 53 'Called in his own time 'the Portugese Aristotle', Pedro de Fonseca' was a sixteenth-century Jesuit philosopher and theologian. Schooled as a Thomist, Fonseca was a master of the Greek, Arabic and scholastic traditions, which enabled him to pursue his own independent line on various issues dealt with by Aquinas and Aristotle. (...) His chief accomplishments were in logic and metaphysics. He authored two very important and widely used works: a clear, comprehensive and systematic textbook in logic 'Institutionum dialecticarum libri octo' (Eight books of dialectical instructions) and an edition of Aristotle's Metaphysics with translation plus explanation and commentary. A third shorter work of introduction to logic (Isagoge philosophica) was also influential. The Institutionum dialecticarum was published at Lisbon in 1564 and re-edited fifty-two more times by 1625. It was adopted as a textbook, especially by the Jesuits, throughout Europe, America and the Far East. The second work was a much shorter Isagoge philosophica (Philosophical introduction), which was published initially in 1591 ad re-edited eighteen times up to 1623. More than a simple commentary on the Isagoge of Porphyry, Fonseca's book was a new introduction to the Organon of Aristotle'. http://compossivel.wordpress.com/2008/12/09/pedro-da-fonseca/

PORPHYRIUS. Very rare edition of a standard medieval textbook Eisagoge, sive institutiones quinque uocum, ad Chrysaorium: Item, Aristotelis categoriae, & de Interpretatione liber: Joachimo Perionio Cormoeriaceno interprete, una cum eiusdem annotationibus. Adiectus quoque est Danielis Barbari in Porphyrij Institutiones commentarius, acrerum verborumque in hisce omnibus memorabilium locupletissimus index. Basel, Joannis Oporinus, August 1545.
Very rare original edition of this book containing various texts of Porphyrius and Aristotle, translated by Joachim Perion together with Perion's commentaries. and the commentary on Porphyrius by Daniel Barbaro. Porphyry was born in Tyre in Phoenicia, probably in 234 C.E. Little is known with certainty about his life, except what can be gleaned from his own account of Plotinus' life, <I>The Life of Plotinus</I>. Before he came to study with Plotinus in Rome in 263 C.E. he studied with the Middle Platonist Longinus in Athens. In Rome he stayed for some five years and converted to Plotinus' version of Platonism. Towards the end of his life (301 C.E.), Porphyry edited Plotinus' writings, the <I>Enneads</I>, dividing them into six books of nine treatises each, which he prefaced with his <I>Life of Plotinus</I>. The latter is the most reliable and the most informative source about his life and attitudes. Porphyry was a prolific author who wrote about the whole range of topics. There are some sixty works attributed to him, but most of them are now lost or survive in mere fragments, i.a. the <I>Isagoge</I> (<I>Introduction</I>)<I>, </I>and commentaries on Aristotle's <I>Categories</I> and Ptolemy's <I>Harmonics</I>. There are surviving fragments of his 'Against the Christians', which was condemned in 448 to be burned, marked him as a fierce critic of the new religion, and fragments of earlier philosophy in his 'On Abstinence', a plea for vegetarianism. Porphyry was a major contributor to the spread of Neoplatonism, particularly within the Roman Empire.Here the <I>Isagoge</I> are published in the translation by the French Benedictine philosopher and theologian Joachim Perion (1499-1559) who added also his commentaries. Perion published many 'Ciceronian' translations of Aristotle (see below). He was one of those who advised the King of France to condem Ramus' works. The <I>Isagoge</I> set the stage for medieval developments of logic and the problem of universals. This introduction to the Categories of Aristotle in an earlier translation by Boetius became a standard medieval textbook.Pp. 247-469 contain the work of Daniel Barbaro (Barbarus), giving his comments on Porphyrius. Daniel Barbaro was born in Venice in ca. 1513 and died around 1570. This Venetian diplomat and theologian descended from a noble family and mainly wrote on Aristotle and his works.
