- Title
MATERIA MAGICA Sources and Materials of Magical Cultures: An Irradiation of Latin Grammarians, or The De radiis is not.
- Authors
MATTON, SYLVAIN
- Abstract
The article cites reasons for the rejection of the attribution to Arabophone scholar al-Kindi of the Latin treatise "De radiis." Topics discussed are association of a passage from the treatise to Christianity than to Islam, reference of another passage to book A of Aristotle's "Metaphysics," influence of "De radiis" on astrological and magical theories, and probability that St. Thomas Aquinas has al-Kindi's opuscule in mind when he attacks the theory of astral influence on magical operations.
