This book provides the first comprehensive treatment of Albert the
Great’s (c. 1193-1280) notion of virtus formativa, a shaping
force responsible for crucial dynamics in the formation of living
beings. Crossing the boundaries between theology and philosophy,
the notion of virtus formativa, or formative power, was central in
explaining genetic inheritance and the configuration of the
embryo. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this book
reconstructs how Albert the Great, motivated by theological open
issues, reorganised the natural-philosophical and medical theories
on embryonic development, creatively drawing upon Greek, Patristic,
and Arabic sources. A valuable contribution to research, this book
offers essential insights for those studying the history of
embryology, medicine, and science in the medieval and renaissance
periods.
