Note 36 — AND HIS PREDECESSORS
Reading edition
Nicholas of Cusa (Nicolaus Cusaneus), Nicolaus von Cues, Texte seiner philosophischen Schriften, ed. A. Petzelt, Stuttgart, 1949, bk. 1, Idiota de sapientia, p. 306 (quoted in Gilbert, M:104). It is interesting that Cusa held that the loadstone has an inclination to iron, as well as the converse!
