RESUMO

Peter of Abano's classification of the sciences is an interesting reformulation of the analogous classification proposed by Aristotle in Metaphysics VI, and of Aristotle's theory of the dianoetic habits found in Nichomachean Ethics VI. As apparent in the Conciliator for medicine and in the Lucidator for astronomy, Peter follows the Aristotelian classification and the interpretations of it given in Middle Ages (doctrine of the three degrees of abstraction, distinction between methodus compositiva and methodus resolutiva), adding as his own original contribution the introduction of a practical part on medicine and on astronomy (astronomia iudicialis), the latter derived from Ptolemy and the Arabs.
