There has always been consensus about the book being printed around 1490 no later than 1491 but the printing place of the book has previously been contested. Earlier bibliographies Eg. Hain Grasse state that it was printed in Basel by Johannes Amerbach but it has later been proven after the thesis of BMC to have been printed by Kilian Fischer in Freiburg im Breisgau and is now considered the first book printed there. The scholastic philosopher Guillaume d’Auvergne ca. 1180 - 1249 also known under the names Guillermus Episcopus Parisiensis Wilhelm von Auvergne William of Paris etc. was the most prominent French philosopher-theologian of the early 13th century and one of the first Western scholars to attempt to integrate Classical Greek and Arabic philosophy with Christian doctrine. He was also a first mover in creating a new metaphysics that combines Neoplatonism with empiricism and ontology profoundly changing the face of medieval philosophy from the 13th century. “William of Auvergne or Paris ca.1180/90–1249 Bishop of Paris from 1228 until his death in 1249 was one of the first wave of thinkers in the Latin West to engage with the writings on natural philosophy and metaphysics by Greek Islamic and Jewish thinkers that had recently become available in Latin translation. William took these writings to pose errors dangerous to the Christian faith and his philosophical works are in large part aimed at combating their errors. Yet at the same time he recognized their philosophical value and though often confused about their meaning incorporated their teachings into his own thought. On many of the important issues of later medieval thought William is the first to provide in-depth discussions and his voluminous works are an important and still under-appreciated source for our understanding of the development of medieval philosophy.†Stanford Encycl. of Philosophy. “By the third decade of the thirteenth century there emerge the first signs of a new metaphysics. Alongside Neoplatonizing idealism we now see attempts to lay greater emphasis on the ontological density of the created world and to structure reality without resorting to the terms of a relation to the divine ideal… The two figures who did the most to promote the new metaphysics as well as a profoundly Aristotelianizing campaign to establish the criteria for knowledge were masters whose important work was done between 1220 and 1235 in the chools of theology at the new universities. Robert Grosseteste d. 1253… and William of Auvergne d. 1249.†John Marenbon Medieval Philosophy 1998 vol III p. 204. Making extensive use of Avicenna and Aristotle as they were just becoming known through translations in order to understand Christian faith and philosophy William as a bishop also had concerns that reflected the practical use of his teachings. The present work “Divine Rhetoric†is his instructive magnum opus. Here he seeks to explain and illustrate the art of prayer – or divine eloquence - listing seven characteristics and perfections of prayer. The work is equally famous for its application of Ciceronian rules of oratory to Christian oratory and prayer.
