What it is
Lectures to the Paris friars warning that philosophy pursued for its own sake leads to error, broken off when their author was made a cardinal.
Why it lasted
The sharpest medieval warning against the autonomy of philosophy, delivered as the Aristotelian crisis at Paris came to a head.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
