Aver- roes (Ebn Roshd) of Cordova, was the most illus- trious of the Spanish Aristotelians, and became the guide of the schoolmen '^ being placed by them on a level with Aristotle himself or above him, He translated Aristotle fi-om the first Syriac ver- sion, not being able to read the Greek text. He aspired to, and re...tained for centuries, the title of the Commentator; and he deserves this title by the servility with which he maintains that Aris- totle*° carried the sciences to the highest possible degree, measured their whole extent, and fixed their ultimate and permanent boundaries; although his works are conceived to exhibit a trace of the New Platonism. Some of his writings are directed against an Arabian skeptic, of the name of Al- gazel, whom we have already noticed. When the schoolmen had adopted the supre- macy of Aristotle to the extent in which Aveiroes maintained it, their philosphy went fiirther than a system of mere commentation, and became a system of dogmatism; we must, therefore, in another chapter, say a few words more of the Aristotelians in this point of view, before we proceed to the revival of science ; but we must previously con- sider some other features in the charaetef of the Stationary Period.
