About Johannes Scotus Eriugena
Johannes Scotus (c. 815 – c. 877) was an Irish theologian and Neoplatonist philosopher who settled at the court of Charles the Bald. His tendency towards pantheism led to his work being posthumously condemned as heretical. The usual modern form of his name, Johannes Scotus Eriugena or Erigena, is unrecorded before the 17th century.
