Cornelius Henrici Hoen (Honius) and his Epistle on the Eucharist (1525): Medieval Heresy, Erasmian Humanism, and Reform in the Early Sixteenth-Century Low Countries (review)
physics and logic were the very disciplines which humanists sought to discredit, and when some humanists such as Salutati, Valla, and Pomponazzi did say something on such themes — such as divine foreknowledge and human free will — the verdict is not positive: “nothing new under the sun” writes Chris Schabel on Pomponazzi (180). Nor does the volume deal with Renaissance thinkers such as Ficino, Campanella, Telesio, Patrizi, or Ramus, who had a lot to say — both positive and negative — about metaphysical and logical themes. But one cannot pull down all barriers all at once. LODI NAUTA University of Groningen
