Bände/Inhalt:

- De imagine / cura et studio Giovanni Mandolino ; introductionem criticam praemisit Chiara O. Tommasi
- The present volume, the latest and perhaps last installment of the intermittent Opera fere omnia Iohannis Scotti seu Eriugenae, brings together two works that inhabit very different spheres of Eriugenian thought: the Latin translation of Gregory of Nyssa's fourth-century Greek treatise on theological anthropology, the Περὶ κατασκευῆς ἀνθρώπου or De opificio hominis (On the Creation of Man), entitled De imagine in Eriugena's translation (ed. Michael W. Herren, adiuuante Andrew Dunning), and his poetic corpus, composed almost exclusively for Charles the Bald and his royal court, celebrating both high occasions, such as Easter or political triumph, and the less elevated pleasures of his friends and drinking brothers (ed. Giovanni Mandolino; introductionem criticam praemisit Chiara O. Tommasi).
