Talk:Bonaventure

Two dates for canonization

The top biographical section gives the date for canonization as 14 April 1482 by Pope Sixtus IV. The section "Feast day" repeats the year of canonization as 1482. The section "Theology and works" gives the date of canonization as 1484 by Pope Sixtus IV. I recommend someone investigate, correct the error(s), eliminate repetition, and add a detailed reference to the date settled on. Theo2amore (talk) 02:48, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Plagiarism

The entire philosophy section appears to be plagiarized from the sources cited at the end of each paragraph. According to Wikipedia's guidelines on plagiarism, the section should be erased, or rewritten to include paraphrase and quotations. 74.77.143.77 (talk) 23:44, 27 September 2014 (UTC) student

If you're referring to the 1907 Catholic Encyclopedia entry or the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, both appear to be public domain. Mannanan51 (talk) 05:17, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Name

Important info missing: Why was he sainted with the name Bonaventure when his real name was Johnny Fidanza? And wouldn't it be spelled Buonaventura since he was Italian (Papal States)? - Tangverse (talk) 05:33, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

'Life' section - why Roger Bacon?

The Life section refers extensively to people other than Bonaventure, but it's not clear why they are mentioned (their connection to his life). Can anyone knowledgable fix this? Eteb3 (talk) 12:51, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Bonaventura ışık teorisi

Bonaventura De Reductione Artium ad Theologiam başlığını taşıyan yapıtında, özellikle Robertus Grossetesta ve Rogerus Baco’nun etkisi altında geliştirdiği ışık teorisini sergilemektedir. Ona göre ışık dört değişik biçimde anlaşılmalıdır. Buna göre, mekanik yetinin ışığı olan “dışsal ışık” sanat ve zanaatları aydınlatır. Buna mekanik yeti denmektedir; zira sanat ve zanaatlar insanın dışındadırlar ve cisim ya da cisimlere gereksinim duymaktadırlar. İkinci türden ışık aşağı ışık türüdür; duyu algısını harekete geçirir ve doğal formlarla ilgilidir. Üçüncü ışık türü ise içsel ışıktır ve zihinsel hakikatleri aydınlatır. Dördüncü ve sonuncu ışık ise daha yüksek ışıktır ve hakikatleri saklama görevi vardır. İnsan aklının, hakikatleri keşfetmek, dolayısıyla zihinsel bilgiyi elde etmek için bu ışığa gereksinimi vardır.

Chateaubriand's comment

In the Avant Propos of Mémoires d'Outre-Tombe, Chateaubriand writes:

• Ces Mémoires ont été l’objet de ma prédilection : saint Bonaventure obtint du ciel la permission de continuer les siens après sa mort ; je n’espère pas une telle faveur, mais je désirerais ressusciter à l’heure des fantômes, pour corriger au moins les épreuves.
• [Google translate]: These Memoirs were the object of my predilection: Saint Bonaventure obtained permission from heaven to continue his after his death; I do not hope for such a favor, but I would like to resurrect in the hour of ghosts, to at least correct the trials.

There's nothing in our article about this strange comment. What could it be referring to? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 18:16, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
