Note 438 — Chapter IV · THE SOURCES FOR THE PERIOD 1100–1250 A. D.
Reading edition
On Averroës, on his influence upon European thought, and on his various medieval adherents and opponents, see Renan, Averroès, 1866. As a general rule the great Dominican scholars of the thirteenth century (as Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas) were determined opponents of the Averroïstic theology and philosophy. The Franciscans, on the other hand, were more ready to adopt these heretical teachings.
