Raimundus Sabundus

Raimundus Sabundus (* approx. 1385 in Barcelona ; † April 29, 1436 in Toulouse ; actually Ramon Sibiuda ) was a Catalan philosopher.

Live and act

Raimundus studied the seven liberal arts , medicine and theology. He later became a professor and several times rector at the University of Toulouse .

In his work Liber creaturarum , which was later also called Theologia naturalis (1434–1436), he starts from the maximity principle of Anselm of Canterbury ( God is that beyond which greater things cannot be thought ; cf. Ontological proof of God ) and then tries Raimundus Lullus to derive the Christian doctrines from the knowledge of nature. Revelation (Bible) and nature coincide in his understanding since they both come from God. He gives preference to the knowledge of nature (through reason freed from original sin and enlightened by faith), since it is accessible not only to the clergy, but also to the laity and cannot be falsified.

Michel de Montaigne translated the book into French in 1569 and wrote an Apology de Raimond Sebond .
