Within this third perspective it is perhaps possible to trace the following development: a starting point represented by the distinction, attributed to Zeno, between two types of insipiens...

The Commentarium in primum librum Sententiarum ad mentem Platonis by the Augustinian friar Egidio da Viterbo (1472-1532) occupies a unique position in the context of early sixteenth-century Platonism.
