BARTOLOMEO DA BOLOGNA. Galli,Francesca. — Il De Luce di Bartolomeo da Bologna. Studio e edizione.

Firenze, Sismel. Edizioni del Galluzzo, 221. LI,381 pp. B./w. ills. Softcover. (Micrologus Library, 104).Text in Italian; includes Tractatus De luce by Bartholomew of Bologna. - The De luce, presumably composed in Paris around 1270 by the Franciscan friar Bartolomeo da Bologna, is halfway between a technical treatise and a guide for pastoral care, as it combines theology and optics, university teaching and Mendicant preaching. This new edition of the text provides an accurate description of all its manuscript witnesses; a significant space is also devoted to the reconstruction of Bartolomeo’s biography and intellectual profile, and to a thorough analysis of the contents of the work.[Publisher].
