	Science Fair Projects - John the Scot
		So far as we can learn, however, Erigenas orthodoxy was not at the time suspected, and a few years later he was selected by Hincmar, archbishop of Reims, to defend the doctrine of liberty of will against the extreme predestinarianism of the monk Gottschalk (Gotteschalchus).
		Erigena argues the question entirely on speculative grounds, and starts with the bold affirmation that philosophy and religion are fundamentally one and the same.
		Erigena's great work, De divisione naturae, which was condemned by a council at Sens, by Honorius III (1225), who described it as "swarming with worms of heretical perversity," and by Gregory XIII in 1585, is arranged in five books.

	The Waldenses, Part 1 - January 1997
		Joannes Scotus Erigena, an Irish scholar and head of the royal school at Paris, who had authored many celebrated works, took up his pen and produced a book which successfully met this falsehood.
		There is a tradition which states that Scotus came from one of the schools established by Columba who was a mighty leader among the primitive Celtic Christian church in Scotland.
		He lived two hundred years after Scotus and had also analyzed the doctrine of transubstantiation and believed it to be the height of seductive errors.

		John Scotus was one of the ornaments of the court by reason of his great learning, his signal ability both as teacher and philosopher, and his blameless life.
		Scotus Erigena takes up the doctrine of John of Damascus concerning the procession of the Holy Spirit and applies it to the relation of the Son to the Father: “As the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father through the Son, so is the Son born of the Father through the Holy Spirit.”
		Scotus Erigena was considered a heretic or a madman while he lived, and this fact joined to the other that his views were far in advance of his age, caused his influence to be at first much less than might have been expected.

	Arabian Philosophy
		It was in thisspirit that Porphyry, Themistius, and Joannes Philoponus composed their commentaries on the treatises of the Peripatetic system which, modified often unconsciously by the dominant ideas of its expositors, became in the 6th and 7th centuries the philosophy of the eastern Church.
		The doctrine became important in the disputes as to the principle of individuation; where Duns Scotus, in opposition to Aquinas, reverted to the position of Avicebron, whom he also resembled in his doctrine of the superiority of the will to the intellect.
		It was not till about the middle of the 12th century that under the patronage of Raymond, archbishop of Seville, a society of translators, with the archdeacon Dominicus Gundisalvi at their head, produced Latin versions of the Commentaries of Avicenna and Algazel, of the Fons Vitoe of Avicebron, and of several Aristotelian treatises.

	The Life and Times of Johannes Scottus Erigena
		It is not infrequently supposed that after the walls of Rome came crumbling down in 410 A.D. there existed in human history a time of dirt, ignorance, and dishevelment the likes of which has not been seen before or since.
		Erigena's great work, The Division of Nature, which was written much later, about 865-870 A.D., is a masterful synthesis of his combined Greek and Latin heritage.
		Too far into the realm of philosophy for a theological age, his writing was not appreciated by his contemporaries, and understood even less by his immediate successors.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Scotus Eriugena
		The form Ierugena is evidently an attempt to connect the first part of the name with the Greek word hieros, and means "a native of the Island of Saints"; the combination Joannes Scotus Erigena cannot be traced beyond the sixteenth century.
		All the evidence points that way, and leads us to conclude that when his contemporaries tauntingly referred to his having come to France from Ireland they meant not only that he was educated in the Isle of Saints but also that Ireland was his birthplace.
		Whatever doubt there may have been about the meaning of Scotus, there can be none as to the signification of the surname Eriugena.

		He is a person of considerable mark in literature as the author of the earliest hymn-book, and the founder of the peculiar kind of latinity of the choral worship of the Roman Church, though he did not depart quite so far from classical models.
		It is necessary also to surrender to Ireland the fame of John Scotus, or Erigena, the eminent divine of the ninth century, whose fame reached a high point of eminence in heterodoxy, when, in the middle of the eleventh century, his treatise on the Eucharist was condemned to the fire by the council of Rome.
		Among a people never allowed any rest from the contest for bare existence, there was neither time nor opportunity to cultivate the soil on which literature and art would grow; and those who desired those conditions of wealth and security essential to the development and maturity of their studies, had to go elsewhere.

	Dante and His Celtic Precursors
		Erigena, beyond comparison the greatest scholar and most original thinker of the Dark Ages, came from Ireland to the court of Charlemagne's grandson, Charles the Bald, about the year 847, as a missionary of the Greek culture that had survived in the island of his birth while almost forgotten elsewhere in the western world.
		His most recent biographer describes Erigena as an ardent searcher after truth, who "possessed the energy of mind to think out a spiritual theory of the universe in a grossly materialistic age"; "a recipient of the influences of the past," who in many ways anticipated the ideas of the present time.
		De Divisione Naturæ, has been called "the one purely philosophical argument of the Middle Ages"; but it is more particularly in virtue of his translation of the mystical treatises of the Pseudo-Dionysius that he must be regarded as one of the chief precursors of Dante.

	How Are We Meant to Understand Genesis? (Ken Smith)
		Of course those of the schoolmen who made the thoughts of God creative, or identified purpose with act, or who said with Scotus Erigena, "Non aliud Deo esse et velle et facere," must regard the universe as coeternal with God.
		This was done by Scotus in a pantheistic sense, but others who regarded the universe as distinct from God and dependent upon Him, still held that the world is eternal.
		The influence of the modern Monistic philosophy, even upon theologians who believe in an extramundane personal God has been such as to lead many of them to assume that the relation between God and the world is such that it must have always existed.

		Scotus Erigena, Rector of the University of Paris, was a mystical pantheist, who translated from the Greek the books of mystical theology of Dionysius, the pseudo-Areopagite, patron saint of the French nation.
		This translation presented to Europe for the first time the transcendental philosophy of the Orient, which had as much influence on the course of European religious thought as later the translations of Plato, made in the time of Pico della Mirandola, had on the development of the profane Italian civilization.
		However, it seems that Scotus had kept a grain of good sense in his exalted brain, because he pretended not to hear this courteous invitation and departed in haste for his native land.
