This paper aims to describe the development of the doctrine of the plurality of substantial forms in the Sententia cum questionibus in libros I, II de anima Aristotelis, attributed to Petrus Hispanus, and to emphasize the importance of the concept of 'communication', which is used by this and other authors of the 13th century.

The Sententia cum questionibus in libros De anima I-II Aristotelis (c. 1240) by Petrus Hispanus provides the first quotations of the Guide for the Perplexed by Maimonides in a Latin commentary to the De anima. This paper aims to show the textual context of these references and to provide some remarks on the role they play in the theory of the intellect in this commentary.

The Liber de aduentu Messiae is one of Ramon Llull's major contributions to Jewish-Christian polemics. However, oddly enough, it has been neglected by scholars. The present study consists of two parts: the first contains an analysis and description of certain contextual and internal features of the work in question; and the second a critical edition of the text, which until now has remained unedited in its totality.

In response to the anatomical descriptions provided in the work on the soul composed by Ramon Llull, namely, the New Book concerning the Rational Soul, this paper will delve into the history of anatomy in order to determine precisely what role seems to have been performed by such descriptions within the medieval scientia de anima. Analysis of this kind enables one to arrive at an understanding of a doctrine which is relatively unitary as regards the brain's anatomy, this latter, in line with Galenic theory, being conceived as the highest organ. Starting out from this doctrinal context, we intend to indicate the specificity of Llull's own doctrine and to explain such specificity in terms of its correlation with his theories of knowledge and of man. Anatomia e cognição em Ramon Llull Resumo A partir da descrição anatómica presente no livro sobre a alma composto por Raimundo Lúlio, nomeadamente o Novo livro da alma racional, este artigo irá mergulhar esquematicamente na história da anatomia para determinar o papel destas descrições na ciência da alma medieval. Esta análise 90 celia lópez alcalde permite compreender uma doutrina relativamente unitária da anatomia do cérebro, concebido como o órgão mais elevado desde a teoria de Galeno. A partir deste contexto teórico, tentamos analisar as diferenças apresentadas no texto de Lúlio e explicá-las a partir da sua teoria do conhecimento e do homem.
