What it is
Prompted by a dinner conversation: can God restore a woman's virginity, or undo the past? An argument that logical rules must not be allowed to bind God.
Why it lasted
The sharpest medieval statement of the suspicion that dialectic is a danger to faith, from a man who was very good at dialectic.
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.
