1 gen 1562 anni - Sextus Empiricus

Descrizione:

in Latin print, and again in 1569, by a leading French Catholic, Gentian Hervet.

(Hervet, in his preface, boldly wrote that in this treasury of doubts was to be found an answer to the Calvinists. They were trying to theorize about God. By destroying all human claims to rationality through scepticism, Hervet believed that the Calvinist contentions would be destroyed as well. Once one realized the vanity of man’s attempts to understand, the fideistic message that God can be known only by faith, not by reason, would become clear).

However. The first known reference, so far, of anyone reading Sextus Empiricus in Europe
in the fifteenth century is in a letter, discovered by Schmitt, from the humanist
Francesco Filelfo to his friend Giovanni Aurispa in 1441
