| Sumario: | This article deals with a reconsideration of the well-known problem contained in the lines of Par. X, 133-138 where Dante puts into the mouth of St. Thomas Aquinas a tribute for Siger. It re-examines the question about why did the poet place Siger, whom St. Thomas is supposed to have written against, in a so exalted situation. The argument is considered from several points of view: literal interpretation, History of Medieval Philosophy and historiographic. So, first, the paper resumes the discussion held by Mandonnet, Nardi, Van Steenberghen and Gilson about it on 1910-1940. Then, it points out current historiographical notes on late medieval philosophy, specially about Siger’s statements and his “Averroism”. Finally, on that groundwork, the author proposes another interpretation of those verses. |
