This edition is a translation of "Treatise on Divine Predestination", written in the 9th century, and one of the early writings by Johannes Scottus Eriugena. It contributes to the debate on the question of human destiny in the present world and afterlife.
Treatise on Divine Predestination is one of the early writings of the author of the great philosophical work Periphyseon (On the Division of Nature), Johannes Scottus (the Irishman), known as Eriugena (died c. 877 A.D.). It contributes to the age-old debate on the question of human destiny in the present world and in the afterlife.


The work survives in a single manuscript of which editions were published in 1650 and 1853. It has been most recently edited in 1978. The present translation was made from that edition. Modern scholars are able to discern in this early work strong intimations of Eriugena's later major writings.

Mary Brennan was for eighteen years researcher and archivist at the Society for the Promotion of Eriugenian Studies, located at that time at University College Dublin. Her publications in this field since 1977 include Guide des Etudes Erigéniennes, A Bibliography of Publications in the Field of Eriugenian Studies, 1800–1975, and Materials for the Biography of Johannes Scottus Eriugena. Avital Wohlman is part of the department of Philosophy, Faculty of the Humanities at the Hebew University of Jerusalem. Her research interests are ancient philosophy, medieval philosophy, and philosophy of biology.
