13 Pref, Intro,Intro | Bonaventura was far from being unique in thinking that

20 MendicantVision, 2,13 | the creation of the world, being understood by the things

22 MendicantVision, 3,3 | complete, and absolute ~Being, which is simply and eternally

24 MendicantVision, 3,3 | the intellect know that a ~being is defective and incomplete
25 MendicantVision, 3,3 | if it had no knowledge of being free from ~all defect? And

30 MendicantVision, 5,3 | Being itself, ~and see that Being is most certain in itself;
31 MendicantVision, 5,3 | to be, since the purest Being occurs only in full flight
32 MendicantVision, 5,3 | nothingness is in full flight from Being. Therefore, just as the ~
33 MendicantVision, 5,3 | nothing contains nought of Being nor of its conditions, so ~
34 MendicantVision, 5,3 | conditions, so ~contrariwise Being itself contains no Non-Being,
35 MendicantVision, 5,3 | Non-Being is the privation of Being, it cannot enter the intellect
36 MendicantVision, 5,3 | intellect except ~through Being; Being, however, cannot
37 MendicantVision, 5,3 | intellect except ~through Being; Being, however, cannot enter through
38 MendicantVision, 5,3 | either thought of as Non-~Being or as Being-in-potency or
39 MendicantVision, 5,3 | Being-in-actuality. If, therefore, Non-~Being is intelligible only through
40 MendicantVision, 5,3 | intelligible only through Being, and if Being-in-potency
41 MendicantVision, 5,3 | Being-in-actuality, and if Being is the name of ~that pure
42 MendicantVision, 5,3 | that pure actuality of Being, Being then is what first
43 MendicantVision, 5,3 | pure actuality of Being, Being then is what first enters
44 MendicantVision, 5,3 | the ~intellect, and that Being is pure actuality. But this
45 MendicantVision, 5,3 | this is not particular ~Being, which is restricted Being,
46 MendicantVision, 5,3 | Being, which is restricted Being, since that is mixed with
47 MendicantVision, 5,3 | Nor is this analogous Being, for such has a minimum
48 MendicantVision, 5,3 | it ~has only a minimum of being. It remains, therefore,
49 MendicantVision, 5,3 | remains, therefore, that that Being is ~divine Being.~ ~ ~

51 MendicantVision, 5,4 | beings, does not notice Being itself, which is beyond
52 MendicantVision, 5,4 | the light of the highest Being, it seems to see ~nothing,

54 MendicantVision, 5,5 | exists through itself if ~Being does not exist through itself
55 MendicantVision, 5,5 | nothing ~in itself save Being itself, for it is in no

58 MendicantVision, 5,5 | therefore, which is pure Being and most simply Being and
59 MendicantVision, 5,5 | pure Being and most simply Being and absolutely ~Being, is
60 MendicantVision, 5,5 | simply Being and absolutely ~Being, is Being primary, eternal,
61 MendicantVision, 5,5 | and absolutely ~Being, is Being primary, eternal, most simple,
62 MendicantVision, 5,6 | things are so certain that Being itself cannot be thought
63 MendicantVision, 5,6 | For since it is simply Being, therefore it is simply
64 MendicantVision, 5,6 | most perfect. To such a Being nothing is lacking, nor
65 MendicantVision, 5,6 | most actual, most perfect Being, it is impossible ~that
66 MendicantVision, 5,6 | He be thought of as not being nor as anything save One
67 MendicantVision, 5,7 | for rising in wonder. For Being itself is first and ~last,

70 MendicantVision, 5,7 | final cause, as the cause of Being, the ~principle of intelligibility,
71 MendicantVision, 5,8 | let us say: Because, then, Being is most pure and ~absolute,
72 MendicantVision, 5,8 | absolute, that which is Being simply is first and last
73 MendicantVision, 6,1 | next to the first. Just as Being is ~the root and name of
