| Sumario: | Saint Bonaventure's position as contrasted to Aristotelianism has been as from E. Gilson's thesis an object of discussion. Historical data, however, allow to assert that the great Franciscan authority: 1) intended to work out no philosophical system; 2) adopted a position which was neither in favour of nor against Aristotle; 3) to a certain extent, his attitude towards philosophy may be regarded as indifferent; 4) he always referred to philosophy in relation to his theological and pastoral purposes. The knowledge he had of Aristotle's work did not surpass the notions and readings common to any 13th century university student and for this reason he would no participate in the Aristotelian debates of the time. However, and facing a possible risk of heresy, he lively defends what he considers the orthodox doctrine.
