Basic Notions of Skalić's Treatise Revolutio alphabetaria

Mihaela Girardi-Karšulin ; Institut za filozofiju, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Sažetak

The paper analyses Skalić's treatise Revolutio alphabetaria, seu peifectissima ad
omnes scientias methodus from the first edition of the Encyclopaedia (Basel, 1559) which significantly differs from the text published under a very similar title in the Cologne edition in 1771. In the treatise, Skalić aims to infer all the contemporary scientific theses from certain basic notions using possible connections among the letters of the alphabet. This attempt is based on Raymondus Lullus' deductions: nevertheless, there are certain differences - at least according to those who had knowledge of the topic. Skalić creates a unity of philosopical notions coming from Peripatetic and Neoplatonic philosophies and theology and cabalistic terms and notions, but the body of scientific theses that he aims to infer from these clearly shows its traditional Peripatetic origins. It would seem that Skalić's main problem is to secure a system of apodictic inferences, not the solving of particular scientific issues.
