- Resum
- The Epistula de causa primaria poenitentiae in hominibus et de substantia et natura daemonum was composed by Witelo between 1266 and 1268. False demonic apparitions are first explained by medical or psychological causes internal to the individual, then by external natural causes disturbing visual perception. The nature and functions of real demons, whose existence is not questioned, are then explained. The point of view of Plato and the Platonists is adopted in an unprecedented and exceptional interpretation: demons are one of the four quiddities that form the chain of beings, along with animals, men and intelligences. These four quiddities are the four terms of a sesquialteral proportion (8, 12, 18, 27), the same one used by the Neopythagoreans to link the four elements together. Finally, contrary to Platonic demonology, Witelo asserts that demons are mortal and good.
