On Learned Ignorance: A Translation and Appaisal of De Docta Ignorantia

Description

Pohle vol. 1 quoted Cdl. Nicholas of Cusa:

De Docta Ignorantia , I, 26:

"In rebus divinis scire est scire, nos ignorare." (cf. Socrates' definition of a wise man as one who knows he doesn't know)

I, 22:

Pohle's version (no citation given): “ Deus est complicatio omnium ” (namely, non formaliter, sed eminenter).

"Deum esse omnium complicationem [Portuguese: síntese , French (PDF p. 265): synthèse], etiam contradictoriarum "

This reminds me of Suárez holding that the law of non-contradiction in doesn't apply in the Trinity (G.-L./Minerd PDF p. 152n41).

Re: PDF p. 95: "Who compared the Trinity to a triangle with three right angles?":

Others who are very talented compared, to the Super-blessed Trinity, a triangle consisting of three equal right angles.

He goes on to describe: "Chapter Fourteen: An infinite line is a triangle."
