| Resumo: | The ninth-century monk and doctor Meletius offers in his treatise De natura hominis a detailed and acute analysis of individuality. Through a set of unusual and well-chosen examples, he offers an explanation of the constitution of individuals based on the solution developed by Porphyry in his Eisagoge. After a discussion of the relevance of discussing individuality in a medical text, this article reconstructs Meletius’s own solution. This article also shows that Meletius’s knowledge of Porphyry comes from a passage of Theodore of Raithu that was integrated into the anonymous Christological florilegium known as the Doctrina Patrum de Incarnatione Verbi. |
