A List of the Works doubtfully or wrongly attributed to Johannes Scottus Eriugena
I. P. Sheldon-Williams
Eriugena made a name for himself both by his outstanding scholarship and the boldness, not to say heterodoxy, of opinions. As natural consequence this, there has been since Middle Ages tendency attribute him works displaying these characteristics which no more likely author could be found. My ‘Bibliography’ was an attempt give account genuine writings purged accretions, I reference them in it. As, however, many have published under Migne's Patrologia elsewhere, as literature their genuineness is questioned or refuted always easily accessible, it seemed that supplement containing list were excluded from with, where possible, reasons exclusion might useful. This breaks new ground: particularly, my debt Dom Maïeul Cappuyns greater than for, whereas material come light he wrote, know work corpus proved genuine. Such value this note convenience.
