Abstract
The doctrine of intelligible species formed an integrating part of the heritage of Scholastic philosophy handed down to the Renaissance. A large number of authors now applied themselves to the notion of species, defending, revising, or rejecting it, as the case might be, including fifteenth-century Platonics, the larger part of Renaissance Aristotelians, and exponents of late sixteenth-century naturalism.
