One of the earliest writings of the author of the great philosophical work, ""Periphyseon"" (On the Division of Nature), Johannes Scottus, known as Eruigena. It contributes to the age-old debate on the question of human destiny in the present world and in the afterlife.
Treatise on Divine Predestination is one of the early writings of the author of the great philosophical work Periphyseon (On the Division of Nature), Johannes Scottus (the Irishman), known as Eriugena (died c. 877 A.D.). It contributes to the age-old debate on the question of human destiny in the present world and in the afterlife.
The work survives in a single manuscript of which editions were published in 1650 and 1853. It has been most recently edited in 1978. The present translation was made from that edition. Modern scholars are able to discern in this early work strong intimations of Eriugena's later major writings.
