A letter from General La Marmora: dated 'La Lanterna, 9 April, '49. Three o'clock. STATO MAGGIORE, QUARTIER GENERALE, della 6 Divisione, addi 1849. 'J'aurai des depeches tres importantes a vous communiquer. Si ce n'est pas une indiscretion je vous prierai de passer un moment ici d'autant plus que j'espere le Sindic de la ville voudra y venir aussi ainsi que je l'ai invite.
Scot Erigena, in his work, "De Divisione Naturæ," sums up his theory by saying: "All is God, and God is all." Amaury de Chartres made use of similar language.
The following are quotations from his work De Divisione Naturae; I take them from M. de Jubainville's Irish Mythological Cycle, where they are given as summing up Erigena's philosophy, and as an indication of the vigorous Pantheism of Pre-christian Irish thought.
He was a pantheistic mystic, and made translations from the Alexandrian philosophers. He was bold in the exposition of his principles, and had both strength and subtlety of intellect. His chief work is De Divisione Naturæ, a dialogue in which he places reason above authority.
The general intention of his writings was, as we have said, to unite philosophy with religion, but his treatment of these subjects brought him under ecclesiastical censure, and some of his works were adjudged to the flames. His most important book is entitled "De Divisione Nature."
Remigius, wrote a commentary on Martianus Capella, a well-known musical text book. Towering above all his fellows, John Scotus Erigena, in 867, wrote a tract De Divisione Naturae, in which he expounds organum or discant, nearly a hundred years before the appearance of the Scholia Enchiriadis and the Musica Enchiriadis.
In his treatise De Divisione Naturæ, Erigena has elaborated the teaching of Dionysius the Areopagite. Man is involved in the transmutation of all beings into this God, Who finally becomes what He was from the beginning. Everything falls back again into the Godhead which has passed through the universal process and has finally become perfected.
But Jerome in his fifth division on Consecration often used verses from Virgil and Augustine, this of Lucan's: "Mens hausti nulla" &c. XXVI. quaestio V. nee mirum. And, as a lawyer, he uses the authority of Vergil, ff. de rerum divisione, intantrum § cenotaphium; and also, of Homer, insti. de Dontrahen. emp. § pretium. ...is shown so reasonably, should be read?
